But Luke had his mother wrapped around his little finger. Would do anything for him. Even covered up his part in a murder. Do you think she’d refuse to drive him to this girl who, we are lead to believe, he was in a committed relationship with? And the cancelled holiday? How did he react to that? Did he kick up a fuss, we’re lead to believe he didn’t like to be denied anything? Did he demand to be driven to see KT anyway?
What is the evidence that Luke’s relationship with KT was not simply a teenage holiday romance that had died a death once he met Jodi?
The Mitchells still went to Aviemore that summer. What exactly are the points one is trying to make around her? - There was numerous communication between them. The logs show this. They weren't to someone else - they were with her. They had planned to meet up again. Whilst his initial trip was postponed. The Mitchells still went ahead at a later date. LM murdering Jodi stopped any further relationship - nothing more. - He lied about everything to do with this girl of being in contact with her over the period of time, of him seeing Jodi. - he simply could have been honest - But he was not, not about anything.
LM was/is a compulsive liar - You can enter into any and all realms or irrationality as much as one may. This ridiculous notion that Jodi had to have been stomping out the door to confront him. This young girl was happy at not having punishments upon her anymore. That we do know clearly.- We can all add any arms and legs if one must?
Happy to not having to wait until a later time, to get off her chest all these questions she may have had for him. Of getting him told, then bang. - he flies into that rage, lashes out and murders her. He was already somewhat irked with her. She had been a little later, staying back to listen to some music with her mother. He was upset at being kept waiting. Those texts from her mothers phone, already saying to him that she was not happy with him? The ones he had to delete - he deleted them for he knew the incrimination that they held. Of the meet just short of 5pm. Of any confrontation and so forth. Sound reason as to why Jodi scrubbed those texts, it was her mothers phone. No reason other than lame excuses as to why LM scrubbed his - he scrubbed them because they were incriminating.
He did not like being kept waiting, he chased the boys in the abbey up - and again lame excuses given for him, for this, on behalf of him.That there was some confusion as to where the meet was supposed to be. In LM's fantasy world perhaps of those who make up his evidence for him. - no confusion when he claimed to have told his mother "tell her I'll be in the Abbey, she will know where" - nope, this girl had been banned from walking this path, LM introduced the notion of the woodland later that evening at the Gino spot, and again by implication - that Jodi would know where, that she would be wandering into the woods of the Abbey on her own also. - nonsense. Jodi was already dead, he had murdered her. He chased those boys up, phoning them back as he needed to be in their company. He needed that cover and he did not like to be kept waiting. He had already disposed and cleaned up of evidence, cleaner than his normal self when he met them. As with his short spell on Newbattle R'd - LM needed to be seen. And he stayed just long enough again - leaving them much earlier that what was actually of habit for him, of usually arriving home at ten and after - He left them at 9pm, he did not arrive home then, he was witnessed going into his house at 10pm - Lies to cover up lies to cover up more lies. - so scrape away with irrationality as much as one needs to - LM was a liar. You can not change that, the lies are already there in abundance in black and white and by voice in those interviews. - You can not alter his evidence for him. Change his story and paint him anything other, than the liar he was. - too late.
And of commitment to KT. to any girl? - what commitment? Complete commitment would have been having no communication with this other girl. Of not having further plans to meet on that next holiday that summer. There was no commitment . He just spent an intimate evening with Jodi, less than 48hrs before her death - and he was instantly communicating with KT, of the meet coming up. - Devious and a compulsive liar.
