Trivia / Serial

• Technology Marches On: Because the murder happened in 1999, some technological evidence that would have been easy to access in 2014 isn't available. For example:
  • Cell phones not being widely available to teens at the time, Adnan and Hae Min used mostly pagers to contact each other.
  • Adnan's cell phone records could only identify outgoing calls, the incomings were only timestamped without Caller ID.
  • The Best Buy parking lot had no security cameras, or if it did, they would have recorded onto VHS tapes to be re-used every week.
  • The presence or absence of a payphone at Best Buy circa 1999 becomes relevant.
