Kathy remembered Adnan getting a call and reacting in an agitated way, saying things like, What am I going to do?

Kathy testified at trial about this call, how Adnan was acting panicked.

I think it's possible that call Kathy overheard was not from a mystery third man or co-conspirator, but from, wait for it, Hay's good friend Aisha Pittman.

To review for a sec, Hay's brother called the cops that afternoon.

Officer Scott Adcock arrives from the Baltimore County PD.

His initial report records the time as 5.12 p.m.

Adcock calls Aisha and Adnan, asking if they've seen Hay.

Here's what's new.

I got an email recently from another friend in that Woodlawn Magnet group, Krista, saying she'd talked to Aisha that evening of the 13th.

Quote, it was around 6 p.m.

that night that I talked to Aisha, and she was calling around to see if anyone had heard from her, unquote, her meaning hey.

So I checked with Aisha, and she does remember speaking to Adnan.

Here's what she wrote to me.

Quote, I do remember speaking with Adnan that evening, but I thought he called me.

From what I recall, it was a super short conversation, and he was annoyed that I told the police to check in with him.

I thought I spoke to him after the police called him, unquote.

She said it's possible her memory of who called whom could be mistaken.

Maybe she did call.

There's definitely no outgoing call to Aisha on a non-cell that day.

And maybe it was before he'd spoken to the cops, not after.
