What's Significant About LM Finding J J?

[rulesapply]

Now that is an interesting question though quite easily answered.

An unknown assailant, covered in blood, could have taken multiple routes to safety, chosen, I would have thought, because they gave him/her some semblance of cover.

Luke could also have taken several routes which hid him from the public’s gaze but he would still have to have broken cover to get to his house which, I believe, was in the middle of the estate. This was, arguably, the most dangerous part of his getaway too, with the all to real chance that one of the many residents whose houses he would have to have passed would spot him.

Further an unknown assailant could have been teaming with Jodi’s DNA. How thorough his/her clean up was would never be an issue. Luke’s person and surroundings were analysed to the nth degree with nothing found to link him to the murder found.

You have no idea if the killer was covered in blood. Mr. Scrimger said ,not neccessarily.

But according to the family she was ‘ hanging around in Easthouses’. None of the family saw her heading towards RDP.

But none of the family saw Jodi in Easrhouses or Newbattle so what's  your point please?

Two things . Firstly it was Alice Walker who suggested going back down the path that Luke had just walked. Luke had no way of knowing that they would be going back down that particular path.

Secondly Luke was a product of the metric generation. Like my nephew, who is ages with Luke, they deal in mm,cm and metres, grms and kg….not inches, feet and yards. Would he really have described the distance he had travelled past the break in yards or was it put to him and he was simply unaware of how far the distance was?

Doesn't make a bit of difference who suggested going down any path. Smokescreen,  smokescreen,  smokescreen! What matters are LM's lies. He murdered Jodi and you have had nearly two decades to prove otherwise,  unsuccessfully. Why is that?? LM is guilty. SL wasn't even in court despite the avoidance of answering questions asking her. Manipulative rubbish for the sponges.

Who was the witness that knew LM that William Wallace is referring to? Can someone clarify? And at what time did they see LM on the Newbattle Road that evening?

Another quick question .... was the spot where Jodi’s body was found thick with grass and vegetation? Was that the reason it lay for some 6 hours undiscovered? Yes, it was off the beaten path, but it was still quite a popular spot for local dog walkers ([Name removed] snr was there that evening with his dogs and never noticed her body) and local youths. I’ve yet to see a pic of the exact spot where her body was found.

The spot where Jodi was found was/is woodland - there is a rough mud path, but not brilliant for walking, imo.

I'm not sure that the side of the wall where Jodi was was found was that popular for walkers, etc.

You certainly get people walking on RDP itself - on the other side of the wall - if you were walking by, you'd maybe spot the V in the wall, but you wouldn't necessarily feel an urge to peer over/through it - even if you did, I'm not sure you'd be able to see Jodi's body - you'd maybe have to climb the wall - bear in mind that the medical examiner sent out on the night couldn't get over the wall.

Rough terrain would be no deterrent for dogs though I would have thought and you often hear of dogs leading their owners to a body.

They were boys from Luke’s school who were cycling to a nearby college and saw him around 5.50pm while going to the college and coming back sometime later. They said that he hadn’t moved from the position where they first saw him when seen on the way back, the position where Luke said he’d been standing.

William Wallace said it was a female who knew him. I know the 3 guys knew him and identified him. This is a completely separate matter. If it wasn’t Marion O’Sullivan, who was it?

I know it was a strip of woodland where she was found. I’m talking about the exact spot where her body lay when Luke found her. Was it in thick grass or thick vegetation?

Dugs oot for a walk tend to be accompanied by humans - rough terrain could be a deterrent for humans.

The recent suggestion that LM's bike was seen at Newbattle High School still hasn't been confirmed or ruled out - what's the deal with that?

Quite an important detail, I would have thought.

This might help.

This chap has done a series of videos in & around the locus. Although these videos are taken around March time, where the vegetation won't be fully grown yet, I suspect it won't have been a huge difference to what it may have looked in June/July. The chap is also very much in the Mitchell camp, so best with volume down.

Not for dogs off of a lead.
