How do you know bleach was used on the ground if it was never brought up in court? Not that I think it in any way rules out LM if it was. Ditto the body being moved. Clearly there were hours in which LM could have cleaned up after himself, got rid of evidence, etc. I don’t know enough about any investigations into other potential suspects to comment on that part so will have to take your word for it. I would say though that witness(es) also saw LM with Jodi that evening at a time when he claimed to be at home so clearly you don’t believe in the reliability of witnesses if you sincerely believe that LM is innocent.
The bleach issue was not raised in Court, so it was not known to the defence, nor was the fact there was no blood under the body. It's easy to say he had hours to clean up. He had 40 minutes. You're not seriously telling me somebody could carry out an attack as savage as this and get rid of all signs or evidence in 40m. He didn't go near the house, not a trace found in there. If it was him seen by Fleming and Walsh which seems very doubtful considering one of them admitted to only seeing him from their rear view mirror, that would mean he had moved from the V to the path end between 5.15pm and about 5.45pm. That would rule out any possibility that he ran towards the Esk which is further away and where it's likely in summer there would be people around at that time walking dogs etc. There is a burn which runs through the field opposite the V about 100 yards away. That's the only place he could have cleaned anything or dumped anything. I assume that burn was searched and nothing was found.
The likelihood of him crossing that field to the burn at 5.15pm is what? Nobody such as L.Kelly cycling saw anyone in the field did they? That's because he wasn't there. I believe LM is innocent because the timescales, lack of physical evidence and suggestions that he has cleaned up in a burn or even the Esk are just not credible.
It is far more likely that the person who did this had some means of getting away from the area other than on foot, which is why he vanished without trace without one person seeing him. The moped which was up that path at the time of the murder clearly had something to do with it, which is why it was melted down as fast as possible. The police in this case not only made a lot of errors such as contaminating the crime scene, they were so useless they couldn't even find the owners of an illegal noisy moped and had to put an appeal out in an area with a population of about 8,000. Seriously?
