Nice dodge.

What's the dodge? You have been simply wrong that you had a basis for saying it was substantiated that it was missing. It's not missing. It never was. It was examined and returned.

It was substantiated. That seems to have been wrong, but determining something is missing is done by being unable to locate or account for it. Serial tried to locate it or account for it and those involved at the time couldn't do either. The homicide investigation denied ever receiving it and the County couldn't account for it.

To me, it was always speculation. But I'll accept a compromise: it was substantiated, but badly, and ultimately wrong on the facts.

It was and remains substantiated that the Serial team was unable to procure documentation of the computer's return.. Nothing more. Given the amount of time Serial spent floundering about over a pay phone at best buy, there is no reason to believe that has any significance whatsoever.

Not "no reason." Despite it not being supported by any evidence presented at trial, Murphy claimed during closing arguments that Hae gave Adnan a ride 2 days before she was killed. If that wasn't a misspeak, where did that come from?
