Juj did go to the scene; she ran to the path after finding out that a body had been found, where she was intercepted by police. Juj said that she had been made aware of the body being found via a (26 second) phone call phone call to AW at 11.53pm. She said that her sister (Juj’s sister) had answered AW’s phone and given her the news - but 11.53pm is before the police had radioed that a body had been found and before the search party were taken to the carpark where Juj’s sister had turned up, so it’s unclear how AW could have handed her phone to Juj’s sister in order for her to answer it.
The others from the search party were taken back to Juj’s house (after the police station) but Juj and AO stayed at Newbattle police station for questioning. Luke was taken to a different police station for questioning, and as we know, was the only one forensically searched and asked to remove his clothing.

Firstly, there are 2 accounts of those in Jodi's mother's house getting to the car park that night.
In the first, as soon as JuJ was given the news, she ran screaming from the house, along the entrance lane to the path, and was intercepted at the junction of the paths by a police officer who led her to the car park, noting, as he did, that she was "unsteady on her feet." (The reason I add that last bit is to show the officer was noting specific details of the event). At this point, there is mention in other statements of AO and [Name removed] being in the car park, but no detail of how they got there. The police officer makes no mention of anyone else being with, or behind JuJ at the junction of the paths.
In the second version, it is [Name removed] who runs screaming from the house and onto the entrance lane to the path, with JuJ and AO following. There is nothing in the files to support this version - only one person is noted coming along the entrance lane to the junction and that is JuJ.
BUT, hidden away in the papers is another little snippet of information - there was a manned police car parked outside JuJ's house at that time - one officer radioed in his arrival at the address, in the car, at around 11.50pm. Yet, there are no statements from either of the officers in the car to say who left the house, why they didn't try to stop them, etc.
