They'd graduated the year before, in 98.

Now Jen was a freshman at UMBC, University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

She was studying biochemistry.

She was in a sorority.

When Hay disappeared, Jen was on winter break.

She was working part-time as a lifeguard.

And Jay was also working.

One of his jobs was at F&M, a discount store.

Jen said on January 13th, she and Jay had been hanging out earlier in the afternoon at her house after she got home from work.

Then Jen says Jay left her house sometime between 345 and 415.

They planned to meet later that evening.

But then Jen had gotten a message Jay was running late.

He wanted her to pick him up in the parking lot of Westview Mall around 8 p.m.

She goes there, and she sees them together.

She sees Jay get out of Anand's car.

Anand says hi to her.

She says he seems to be acting normal.

Jay gets in her car, and that's when he tells her about the murder.

After they'd driven a little ways, Jay mentions shovels, the shovels Anand had used to dig in the park to bury Hay, that they were Jay's shovels from his house.

Jen tells them she drives Jay back to Westview Mall, to the dumpsters back there, so that Jay can retrieve the shovels and wipe the handles clean in case of fingerprints.
