On New Year's Eve, The Intercept published its third and final part of a multipart interview with Wilds, in which he candidly revealed how much his life and his family's lives have changed since Serial has become so popular.

Wilds dished how Serial has damaged him. 

Jay Wilds Talks About Meeting 'Serial's Creator Sarah Koenig & Executive Producer Julie Snyder

"The thing that's been the most scary for my family has been people showing up at my house. Twice I've caught people videotaping our home and me," Wilds stated.

He said he first noticed people showing up outside of his home "right before Thanksgiving."

Wilds' personal information such as his home's address and more has been leaked on Reddit and he claims his wife is "devastated" from all of it, especially the threats made against him.

He said he and his wife can no longer let their kids walk to school out of fear that people from the Internet will "take their picture, or harass them."

"We filed a police report," Wilds divulged, adding, "Someone reached out to my wife, somebody that she didn't know, saying that she was worried for my family. Then this person said she was worried because somebody posted our address on a public forum and said they planned to confront me."

Wilds feels as though Serial's creator Sarah Koenig is partially to blame for this situation since he said, "I feel like she created an evil archetype of me and sensationalized my motives. It helped fan the flames of this story that people had already moved on from."

Wilds revealed he spoke to Koenig the week after the final episode aired. She asked him again for an interview.

Then Koenig told him in an email on Dec. 29, "You seem to be under the impression that I want to do you harm, or have a secret agenda or have purposely withheld information to make you look bad, or have knowingly reported things that aren't true. None of that is correct - in fact, the opposite it true. I realize you might not be able to accept that right now - or perhaps, ever - but my intention has been the same from the beginning: To get the story right, and to treat everyone fairly."

Wilds even revealed he lost his job due to the aftermath of Serial though he cannot prove it. He said he had a construction job, but after about three weeks he was let go.

"I was told that - by my supervisor - that they hired too many people for the job, [and] had to let five of us go. But within a week a couple of those people were hired back, along with a new person. I don't think they got rid of me because they think I committed a murder. But I do think they didn't want to take [that] on, you know? They don't need people coming to the worksite, confronting me or harassing other people I work with," Wilds shared.
