Text message from Corrine to Luke Mitchell - 1st July 12.29am
"You will tell me right now what is wrong. I'm on my way up to find you."
“Mrs Mitchell recalled told how she called her son's mobile phone on the evening of the murder to see if Jodi had been found and was told by a police officer to go to Dalkeith Police Station.
"I got there and I couldn't understand why he was wearing a white forensic suit. I asked why he was like this and what had happened. At some point I heard the words 'Jodi' and 'dead'.
"I asked why they had stripped a 14-year-old child with no other adult present. I was told it was procedure. But it was just 'procedure' for Luke because other members of the search party didn't have that happen to them.
"He looked shocked, very shocked. His eyes were wide, he was white," she added.
The murder verdict, in January 2005, was "like being hit on the face with a sledgehammer," she said.
"Our worst fear was not proven - we never ever expected guilty. I thought I had not heard the 'not' part, then I heard the other side cheering and it hit me - it was a guilty verdict.
"Luke was in pure shock. The press said 'he showed no emotion' but it was shock," she continued
