“Lothian and Borders police confirmed that they are considering an appeal for witnesses on the BBC's Crimewatch programme.

However, yesterday a police spokesman declined to comment on reports that a 14-year-old youth had been questioned in connection with a missing knife. It is understood the boy had shown the knife off to friends after receiving it as a Christmas present, but it has since disappeared.

What exactly did killer Luke Mitchell say to the police when he was questioned on 4th July 2003 and how many people did he brag to following his police questioning

“At the weekend police set up an e-mail address for people to leave information or post anonymous tip-offs. A police spokesman said they have received e-mails from as far afield as the US and Holland.

The previous weekend would have been the 12th and 13th July 2003

Very much doubt fraudster Scott Forbes bothered to email the tip off address that weekend about his so called ‘friend’ Mark Kane

How many of those people who are now ‘supporting’ and lionising guilty killer Luke Mitchell emailed the tip off address?

Did people like Derek Edmond, or his parents, send in tip offs?

Did the person who pretends they saw Joseph following his sister on the 30th June 2003 email the tip off address?

Why didn’t fraudster Scott Forbes bother to email the tip off address?

From 2nd August 2009

“Now Mitchell's new defence team is preparing to apply for a fresh appeal based partly on the original forensics investigation, the details of which have never before been made public. The new defence team say the original police forensic service laboratory report and biology report contradict the prosecution case that the murder did not have a sexual motive, as semen was found on Jodi's body.

The reports also show, the new defence team says, that a blood sample found on her produced a full DNA match with a named individual and a second full DNA profile, for an unknown male, was retrieved from a condom found near the body.

The latter individual was identified three years later when he committed a crime and provided a match on the DNA database.

Mitchell's current solicitor, John Carroll, said: "It [the DNA evidence] could put two people, two associated people, at the locus in circumstances that require an explanation. If the jury had heard of this, a number of things could have arisen."

Mitchell's original defence team had a copy of the reports but never raised them in court because of issues over who would pay for an expert opinion on the documents, according to Sandra Lean, an author studying wrongful convictions, who has been campaigning on Mitchell's behalf. The original defence team refused to discuss the case with the Guardian.

The Scottish Legal Aid Board said they were approached for funding by the original defence team but the matter was "not concluded".

The reports confirm that no DNA evidence was found to link Mitchell with the crime scene. They also reveal that there were 122 items taken from the murder scene from which attempts to obtain DNA profiles proved unsuccessful, including a number of hairs and saliva on Jodi's body and clothing.Lean said she believed the real killer was still at large. "He's out there right now and some other daughter could be at risk."


Appears the saliva has now morphed into ‘bodily fluids’

Does anyone know what that email tip off address was?

[Nicholas]

Firstly let us swiftly apply reality to this = Crock of s**t.

Let us NOT deflect from what is NOT happening which is nothing legally, there is nothing new here, what there is, is an attempt to salvage something from all the previous manipulated hype.

Looks like the ‘saliva’ (possibly from Mia the dog) has now morphed into ‘bodily fluids’

[Nicholas]

SF's, "15 sperm deposits" to SL and IB, 15 "unsatisfactory samples" to that predictive wording now of "not tested" - Gullible?

Seems some people really think the police and forensic teams were complete morons and didn’t test the obvious ‘DNA’ - nearly 20 years ago

The tone of the online discussion is more polite recently too. Even the people who are sceptical about Luke's innocence seem less angry and more open minded since the destruction of evidence has been made public

Sandra Lean
CJ Red I noticed that yesterday when I was reading through the comments - still the odd ranting one, but definitely less hateful. I guess even the most die-hard "It was him" believers must be having a bit of a wobble now, with everything that's come out.
Apparently, someone was trying to justify the deposits on Jodi's body as "washing machine transfer" on youtube - all of them, even the untested ones!!! I'd love the see the science supporting that!!! But it's interesting that there are some people out there offering "innocent explanations" for anyone else whose DNA might turn up, before the samples are even tested???

How many people have been taken in by this latest propaganda?

Was killer Luke Mitchell’s missing brown handled Jack Pyke knife a Christmas present from the previous year (2002) ?

What did witnesses tell police about killer Luke Mitchell’s 2002 Christmas presents and his Jack Pyke knife?

And what did the police ask killer Luke Mitchell and his mother Corinne Mitchell about the brown handled Jack Pyke knife?

POLICE officers using chainsaws and strimmers yesterday widened the search of the Midlothian countryside in the hunt for the killer of Jodi Jones.

Anxious to find the murder weapon used in the frenzied attack on the 14-year-old, officers hacked through undergrowth and cleared vegetation in fields around the crime scene near Dalkeith.

Earlier this week, Lothian and Borders Police searched drains close to the wooded walkway where the teenager's body was found 11 days ago.

Yesterday*, eight search team officers in black overalls and boots widened the search out from the murder scene. After each clearance of woodland debris they carried out a close examination of the ground to search for forensic evidence.

“DETECTIVES hunting the killer of Jodi Jones have found DNA at the murder scene different from her boyfriend Luke Mitchell's.

The first genetic fingerprint is a trace of saliva found close to where Jodi was killed in Easthouses, near Dalkeith.

Tests have revealed that the two samples are not from the same person. They have also eliminated Luke, 15, as a possible source.

The Sunday Mail can reveal that the samples were the reason joggers were asked to provide DNA samples last week

A police source said: ``The team has started initial tests to see if they can find a match for those samples, which were not thought to be particularly important in the initial stages of the inquiry.

Because the murder scene was on a well used path, scientists have warned detectives leading the investigation that DNA samples found may prove to be red herrings.

Why would anyone have ‘a wobble’ in relation to ‘lawyers’ Sandra Lean and Scott Forbes innocence fraud

Psycho killer Luke Mitchell attacked Kara Van Null with a knife in his hand a month before he committed his murder

Sandra Lean may have told her daughters this kind of behaviour is okay but in reality it’s a massive red flag

Has LM's use of his knife in jabbing Jodi at a party been discussed (see article below)?

Piquerism is a sexual interest in penetrating the skin of another person with sharp objects (such as pins, razors, knives, etc.) Piquerism is a paraphilia as well as a form of sadism.


Byline: By Amy Devine

SADIST Luke Mitchell used a knife on Jodi weeks before he murdered and mutilated her. Jodi, 14, writhed in pain as her twisted boyfriend repeatedly jabbed the blade into her leg. She cried out at each blow but Mitchell seemed to be enjoying himself. Mitchell tormented Jodi with the knife at a party, in full view of their friends.

One witness said yesterday: 'It was very disturbing. Luke could see that it hurt and he seemed to be getting a kick out of it.' Mitchell and Jodi went to the party at a friend's house six weeks before the murder. He used the knife to cut up cannabis, then turned on his smitten young girlfriend. One friend who witnessed the abuse said: 'Luke and Jodi were sitting together and he was poking her in the leg with a knife. 'He was jabbing her with it quite hard and she was jumping up and down because of the pain. It seemed a really cruel thing to do.

'One girl was particularly disgusted. She shouted at Luke to put the knife away and told him she would stick it up his a*** if he didn't. He stopped.' The witness added: 'We never dreamed Jodi would be dead weeks later.

'Looking back, it makes my skin crawl to think it was a warning that no one heeded.But we were just kids.' After Jodi's murder, one of her friends told police what had happened at the party. The girl was put on the witness list for Mitchell's trial. But it's understood prosecutors decided not to call her because of concerns that the defence would attack her credibility. It was feared that because drugs were freely available at the party, the jury would be distracted from the real issue - Jodi's murder.
