In Early 2014 Sandra Lean Admitted She Had Been Duped By Sadistic Killer Luke Mitchell & His Adoptee Mother Corinne Mitchell & Their Innocence Fraud
However, referring to sadistic killer Luke Mitchell’s murder, scammer Sandra Lean stated on page 15 of her 2nd innocence fraud book;
It is a story that can’t be told in any sort of linear fashion – a complex, sprawling mass of connections, inexplicable decisions, dead ends, red herrings, half-truths, misunderstandings and outright lies.
Excerpts taken from page 15 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
In reality the “red herrings, half-truths, misunderstandings and outright lies” Sandra Lean referred to were, and are her own and those manufactured by sadistic killer Luke Mitchell and his adoptee mother Corinne Mitchell.
Judith Jones First Texted Killer Luke Mitchell’s Mobile @ 10:20pm
Sandra Lean omitted numerous relevant facts from her “story” and she also omitted numerous relevant facts from her timeline regarding Judith Jones 10:20pm text message to killer Luke Mitchell’s mobile.
Judith Jones evidence was always that she first texted killer Luke Mitchell’s mobile telephone (because her daughter Jodi Jones’🌻 phone was broken) at around 10:15-10:20pm and Judith Jones stated in her text message;
2 wks grounding toad . . . Say bye 2 luke
Judith Jones evidence during the killers 2004/05 trial remained the same.
Judith Jones stated during the trial that she had texted killer Luke Mitchell’s mobile phone number at around 10:20pm, as can be read here.
Killer Luke Mitchell has never contested these timings!

Sandra Lean’s Ever Changing Timings & Timelines
For many years liar and fraudster Sandra Lean attempted to suggest Judith Jones’ 10:20pm text message did not happen, until early 2014 when Sandra realised she had been duped.
Sandra Lean stated;
I’ve wasted ten years of my life
Sandra Lean during a 2014 telephone conversation
Four years later, referring to the time (2014) she stated she had been duped by killer Luke Mitchell and his adoptee mother Corinne Mitchell, Sandra Lean published the following bizarre nonsense via her 2nd innocence fraud book;
..the website set up to campaign for Luke had to be taken down.
So long as I had access to the case papers, I could back up everything I put out publicly on the site – without that access, I left myself and the Wrongly Accused Person organisation that hosted the site, wide open to allegations of dishonesty and even legal challenge.
It was a difficult development to accept, pushing me to the brink of mental and emotional collapse.
Everything, it seemed, had been for nothing
Excerpts taken from page 374 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
The “website” Sandra Lean was referring to was set up in April 2010 by Sandra and un-convicted baby killer Billy Middleton.
The content of the website Sandra Lean referred to on killer Luke Mitchell has been reproduced in Part 257 of this ongoing blog series, which can be read by tapping on the button below;
Sandra Lean’s Dishonesty
Sandra Lean’s statement;
So long as I had access to the case papers, I could back up everything I put out publicly on the site – without that access, I left myself and the Wrongly Accused Person organisation that hosted the site, wide open to allegations of dishonesty and even legal challenge
was and is complete and utter nonsense!
Sandra Lean would have known that the moment she published any material online, regardless of whether she removed it at a later date, she could and would still be “wide open to allegations of dishonesty and even legal challenge”.
Sandra Lean is without any doubts dishonest, especially when it comes to the timings and the timeline in this case.
In May 2007, when Sandra Lean published her first discredited book No Smoke (Tap on button below to read more), much of what Sandra wrote appears to have been taken from the misinformation printed by the main stream media, along with some of killer Luke Mitchell and his mother Corinne Mitchell’s “outright lies” and the misinformation contained within the court of appeal judgement.
Sandra Lean had cobbled together and published a timeline under one of her aliases Jigsawman which can be read by tapping on the button below;
Sandra Lean used the alias Jigsawman on Internet forums so that she could not be identified.
By 2010 Sandra Lean had another set of timings, as can be seen in the screenshots taken from the now defunct WAP website.
Sandra Lean also stated in her self published 2nd innocence fraud book;
Perhaps one of the most surprising discoveries for me in the earliest days of my involvement in this case was the importance of attention to detail.
Some of the tiniest details led to some of the most critical developments in the case, because no-one had picked up on, or corrected, errors in those early findings
The level of detail in this chapter may appear, at first glance, to be unnecessary or overly pedantic.
Yet it is precisely the detail included here that shakes the very foundation on which the case against Luke was the period between the discovery that Jodi was missing and the finding of her body – who was where, doing what, when and with whom, should have been crucial to the investigation.
Excerpts taken from page 137 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
The Importance Of Attention To Detail
Sandra Lean’s statement of the “importance of attention to detail” does not appear to apply to Sandra or killer Luke Mitchell and his mother Corinne Mitchell.
If “attention to detail” were genuinely important to Sandra Lean she would have surely explained how and why she changed her timings and details so many times over the years.
For example at 9:00pm in Sandra Lean’s Jigsawman timeline she stated;
After hanging around the abbey for a couple of hours, the boys head for home. Luke goes up to his room and puts on a video of Red dwarf
Yet by the time Sandra Lean self published her 2nd innocence fraud book in October 2018, there was no mention of killer Luke Mitchell putting “on a video of Red dwarf” at 9:00pm
Was the reason for Sandra Lean omitting this “detail” because she realised this was another of killer Luke Mitchell’s bare faced lies?
In Sandra Lean’s 2007 book No Smoke she opted to not mention Judith Jones 10:20pm text message to killer Luke Mitchell’s phone, instead Sandra stated;
The alarm was raised when Jodi failed to return home at her curfew time of 10pm.
Jodi‟s mother Judy contacted Luke (because Jodi‟s mobile was broken) to be told that he had not seen Jodi that evening.
Excerpt from Sandra Lean’s 1st discredited book No Smoke (first published in May 2007)
However by the time Sandra Lean had cobbled together her Jigsawman timeline she had changed Judith Jones evidence given during the trial.
Judith Jones’ text message to killer Luke Mitchell’s went from 10:20pm to 10:39pm.
Sandra Lean had added on 19 minutes.
Not only did Sandra Lean add on 19 minutes to the time of this text message she also reduced Judith Jones’s two weeks of grounding to one week, as can be seen in the following excerpt;
10:39pm Judy sends a text to Lukes phone, Right Toad, say goodnight to Luke. Thats you grounded for another week
Statement by Jigsawman Aka Sandra Lean
Sandra Lean, as Jigsawman, also had killer Luke Mitchell phoning Judith Jones at 10:40pm;
10.40pm Luke phones Judy to say he hasnt seen Jodi all night
Jigsawman Aka Sandra Lean
In 2010 Sandra Lean changed her 10:39pm time to 10:38pm, losing a minute;
Whatever happened in the intervening period, Mrs Jones sent a text to Luke’s phone at 10:38 that night, addressed to Jodi, saying “Right toad (her nickname for Jodi) say night to Luke, that’s you grounded for another week
Statement by Sandra Lean via the WAP website
However by 2017 Sandra Lean was claiming here that Judith Jones sent her text message between 10:20pm and 10:30pm;
Here are the known facts – Luke returned home at 9.30pm (based on testimony from the other boys he was hanging around with that night.) He took Mia out for her last walk at around 10.20 – 10.30 – it was during this walk that he received JuJ’s text intended for Jodi.
Sandra Lean – 16th February 2017
Sandra Lean must have realised at some point that killer Luke Mitchell could not have been watching “a video on Red Dwarf” at 9:00pm and that he had lied about the time he arrived home.
By the time Sandra Lean self published her 2nd innocence fraud book in 2018, she finally acknowledged the fact Judith Jones had said she had sent killer Luke Mitchell a text at “10:15pm or 10:20pm”, as can be seen in the following excerpts;
The initial text message, sent from Judith’s mobile to Luke’s, intended for Jodi – “Right Toad, 2 weeks grounding, say bye to Luke,” was the first point at which anyone knew something was wrong on the evening of June 30th.
Judith believed, as late as July 31st, a full month after the murder, that this text was sent at 10.15pm or 10.20pm
Excerpts taken from page 138 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
Although Sandra Lean chose to add the dishonest nonsense of “twenty to twenty-five minutes before it actually was” at the end of her (above) latter statement.
In reality – common sense would suggest when Jodi Jones🌻 did not arrive home by her curfew time of 10pm, Judith Jones would have started to become anxious from this point in time.
In fact Sandra Lean stated;
Judith insisted she was “clock watching” from 10.00pm, when Jodi should have come home
Excerpts taken from page 169 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
There is no evidence anywhere to suggest Judith Jones waited around 40 minutes to text killer Luke Mitchell’s mobile phone to tell her daughter Jodi Jones🌻 to “say bye to Luke”.
Jodi Jones🌻 Was Reported Missing To The Police At 10:45pm
All the evidence when viewed in its entirety points to Judith Jones text message having been sent no later than 10:20pm.
Especially given the fact Jodi Jones🌻 was reported missing to the police at 10:45pm.
Sandra Lean appeared to be flummoxed by this fact and even exclaimed in her 2nd book “Something is very wrong here”.
For context here is some of what Sandra Lean stated;
..it is important to point out that there was a call in the police logs, noting the missing person details – I refer to this as the ‘first (unidentified) call’ for reasons which will become obvious.
The information about this call was found in the defence papers almost six years after Luke’s conviction.
Three separate legal teams had access to the files in that period – none of them brought this information to the attention of Luke, his family, his supporters or any court.
The police log of this call noted details of Judith’s name, Alice’s name (including her maiden name) and the information that Jodi was missing; she had not been with her boyfriend and was not at her Gran’s, all given to the operator by the caller, who gave her identity as Judith.
The time of that call was 10:45pm.
Something is very wrong here.
Excerpts taken from page 141 & 142 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
What Sandra Lean means is that it took her “six years” to find the details of Judith Jones “missing person” telephone call to the police in the boxes of case files.
Sandra Lean did not attend Killer Luke Mitchell’s trial and did not have access to all the trial transcripts – in particular the trial transcripts of Judith Jones’ evidence.
Along with omitting killer Luke Mitchell and his mother Corinne Mitchell’s barefaced lie about the Red dwarf video from her second book, Sandra Lean also omitted the evidence of witnesses like Carol Ford.
Carol Ford is the mother of Kirsten Ford (Read more here) one of Jodi Jones🌻 friends who was also one of the people Judith Jones contacted after sending her 10:20pm text message.
Bizarrely Sandra Lean also wrote the following in her 2nd book;
22:40pm: When Luke called Judith and told her he hadn’t seen Jodi all evening, the call lasted just over two minutes (ending at 10:42:40) and was the call in which it was agreed by all parties that both Judith and Luke discovered that Jodi had been out of contact for almost six hours.
Excerpts taken from page 138 of Sandra Lean’s 2nd innocence fraud book IB (Self published via Amazon in October 2018)
As usual Sandra Lean was being dishonest.
There is no evidence anywhere to support this 10:40pm telephone call (which allegedly “lasted just over two minutes”) was about it being “agreed” that it was at this time that it was “discovered that Jodi had been out of contact for almost six hours”.
The above is merely more evidence of Sandra Lean’s capability to embellish and lie.
