Okay, on to Serial Season 1.
He told me that she had broke his heart.
It was extremely wrong for anyone to treat him that way.
He was like the community's golden child.
I think like the odds of you getting the charming sociopath, you're just not that lucky.
You don't think that I know you at all?
This call will be recorded and monitored.
From This American Life in WBEZ Chicago, it's Serial.
One story told week by week.
I'm Sarah Koenig.
For two months now, I've been grappling with rumors about Adnan.
People telling me, there's stuff you don't know about Adnan, stuff you need to know to understand who you're dealing with.
These communications came in the form of phone calls, many phone calls, sometimes one-on-one, sometimes conference calls, also texts and nervous emails.
I can't tell this one, I've spoken to that one, and then that one gets worried that I've broken my word, which I promise I haven't.
When person two doesn't confirm the thing person one told me, and I report that back to person one, person one often tells me person two is lying to me.
All these rumors are coming from people Adnan knew growing up in the mosque community, the South Asian families who attend the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
Some of these people I'd already talked to during my first round of reporting for this story, but then once the series started and they heard how Adnan was being portrayed, a new round of phone calls began.
The rumors themselves are nothing too dastardly.
Nobody is saying, I saw him do it, or I have proof.
None of it is directly connected to the crime.
