Popularized by the hit podcast Serial, this case follows the 1999 murder of Woodlawn High School student, Hae Min Lee, and the conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed. Just recently, in November 2019, the United States Supreme Court denied hearing Syed's petition for writ of certiorari.

There have been several developments in the case since the last episode of Serial Season One aired in 2015. Serial provided some follow-up episodes, but I highly recommend watching the HBO Documentary for a recap and to catch up on some of the more recent developments. The Undisclosed Podcast doesn't have the production value of Serial, but it dives much deeper into the case.
