What is remarkable is that several motorists came forward who identified him on the main road after 6pm yet not one saw him earlier. The chances of that happening are just about nil.
This would be the 6pm when many people were returning from their work or shopping trips. This would be the 6pm when Luke was hanging around the area waiting for Jodi.
This would not be the early afternoon when a boy goes home after school, a short journey and one with the likelyhood of no cars being on that road in the short time he was.
In addition, as the Mitchell home is located within a large housing site the chances of him being observed and by someone who knew him was very high yet nobody came forward.
This for me again is supposition, basing the actual events in a context of perceived events is not doing anyone justice.
We have always wondered about this. Given the seriousness and enormity of the allegations against him you would have thought that someone would have seen him walk home after school that afternoon and come forward to clear him. Apparently not.
Then again, why are we not surprised when his own brother couldn't even give him an alibi?
The key word here is apparently, you cannot for sure say that no one came forward with this information as it was never asked in court.
Shane never gave Luke an alibi simply because he couldn't as he did not see Luke in the house, are you suggesting that he should have lied also to provide such a thing?
