Some of malicious troll Heather Brunt’s continuous abuse, harassment, defamation and perverted nonsense has been referred to by What They Found in their recent video on the murderer and his enablers innocence fraud.
The latest video by What They Found can be listened to below;
With every new victim, his predatory skills were sharpened, and he became craftier at luring his targets to the metaphorical stove with the giant pot of water
Target/Girlfriend Kimberley Thomson
At around 44:35 during a 1st May 2023 youtube video titled keeping the record straight scammer Sandra Lean stated;
The previous relationship with Kimberley
They had a holiday romance
She did come to see him in the January
The December to January of 2003
Before he met Jodi
And that was the end of the contact
Sandra Lean
This is yet another of Sandra Lean’s bare faced lies!
Sadistic killer Luke Mitchell visited Kimberly Thomson on Valentine’s Day in February 2003 and was due to physically see her again on the 5th July 2003.
Luke Mitchell continued to give Kimberley Thomson the impression that he was her boyfriend, right up until he committed his murder on 30th June 2003.
A December 2004 BBC article stated;
Kimberley Thomson told the jury she had been the girlfriend of Luke Mitchell, the youth accused of murdering Jodi.
Miss Thomson said that when she read about Jodi’s death and the fact that Jodi had been Mr Mitchell’s girlfriend, she was annoyed.
She said: “I was upset. I knew he had obviously been cheating on me”
When asked how she would describe her relationship with Mr Mitchell, she said:
“Boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Mr Mitchell visited Kenmore in the autumn of 2002 and Miss Thomson stayed at the Mitchell home in Dalkeith from Boxing Day until just after New Year.
The accused also visited her on St Valentine’s Day 2003.
There were also telephone records and text messages which supported the fact that killer Luke Mitchell was giving Kimberley Thomson this impression.
Another media article read;
The judges were informed (Luke) Mitchell told police investigating the murder he had not spoken to Kimberley since January 2003, but records showed 79 calls between then and the end of June.
There was also a Valentine’s Day visit.
Just two days before her murder, Jodi left (Luke) Mitchell’s house, by taxi, about 10pm.
After that there was a series of long telephone calls, totalling more than three hours.
Mr Beckett said it was an example of how (Luke) Mitchell was prepared to lie, even in the face of known evidence.
Sandra Lean went on to state in her keeping the record straight video;
So whatever kind of relationship he was having with Kimberley
After that was not sexual
Sandra Lean
The video then played a sound bite by YouTuber What They Found, who stated;
Jodi at one point believed that Luke was cheating on her when confiding with best friend Kirsten Ford
What They Found
Sadistic Killer Luke Mitchell Was Targeting Numerous Girls All At Once
Sandra Lean replied in response to this statement;
That makes me very sad
There was a point at which Jodi wondered if Luke was cheating on her
Not with Kimberley
Somebody else
And do you know what made her wonder about that
Her mum suggested it
There was another good friend that, female friend, that they went about with
All the time
And her mum suggested that maybe Luke had something going with the friend as well
Jo, eh Jodi approached both of them
They were both absolutely horrified
And reassured her that that was absolutely not the case
Sandra Lean
Target/Girlfriend Laura Wightman
Luke Mitchell was “cheating on” Jodi Jones with numerous other girls and in reality Sandra Lean has no idea why Jodi Jones “wondered if Luke was cheating on her”.
The “goodfriend” referred to by Sandra Lean was Laura Wightman.
Kirsten Ford, one of Jodi Jones closest friends, spoke to reporter Jane Hamilton about Laura Wightman and Luke Mitchell “cheating” on Jodi Jones.
Jane Hamilton’s article stated in part;
Months before she was killed, the 14-year-old told closest pal Kirsten Ford: ‘Luke has all these knives in his bedroom. Isn’t that weird?’
Last night, Kirsten, now 16, said: ‘Jodi was disturbed by it. She wouldn’t have said it otherwise.
But only weeks into the relationship, Jodi became worried about (Luke) Mitchell’s close friendship with Laura Wightman, a girl he would later take to her graveside.
“Laura was with Luke a lot and once Jodi heard that he might have been cheating on her but I think she spoke to him and they sorted it out”
When he interviewed the killer on the 14th of August 2003 during a section 14 interview, detective constable George Thomson asked sadistic killer Luke Mitchell about whether or not he had “two-timed” Jodi with other girls – this included Laura Wightman according to the killer.
As was usual for killer Luke Mitchell – he bare faced lied!
A BBC article stated;
Detective Constable George Thomson carried out the interviews with Luke Mitchell in August 2003, when the boy was just 15.
“During the time you were going out with Jodi did you see other girls?
By the time of this meeting killer Luke Mitchell and Laura Wightman were known to be having a sexual relationship, as is clear from the following excerpts by reporter Maggie Barry;
KILLER Luke Mitchell was a violent thug – but girls flocked to be his lover.
The teenager’s reputation as a moody rebel captured the hearts of girls in Dalkeith.
But behind his mask, (Luke) Mitchell was a woman-hater who tried to force his lovers to have sex at the point of a knife.
Within days of Jodi’s murder he had replaced her with another girl.
Jodi had been unaware when she began dating (Luke)Mitchell that he already had a girlfriend who looked “almost identical”.
Mitchell conned both girls into thinking their relationship was special and exclusive.
He introduced her to cannabis, she got a lip piercing and had sex with him.
Within weeks of Jodi’s death, (Luke) Mitchell was having sex with one of her best friends.

When he was banned from Jodi’s funeral, (Luke) Mitchell took his new girlfriend to her graveside knowing it would attract attention.
The blonde teenager clutched a red rose as she stood, wearing a Nirvana T-shirt, beside (Luke) Mitchell.
Ever the showman, (Luke) Mitchell knelt down to comfort her as she wept while reading cards and tributes from Jodi’s classmates.
Sadistic, Sexual Deviant Luke Mitchell Tagetted, Conned & Abused Many Girls
Laura Wightman appears to have made two police witness statements, one in July 2003 and one in September 2004.
It also appears it was sometime before the killers trial that Laura Wightman became “estranged” from Luke Mitchell, as was reported by Lucy Bannerman;
…one friend sided with (Luke) Mitchell forming an intimate relationship with him in the aftermath of the killing
Despite her initial loyalty, she and (Luke) Mitchell became estranged and the 15-year-old was later diagnosed with a severe depressive disorder, exacerbated by the heavy use of cannabis and the trauma of her friends murder.
Increasing doubts over (Luke) Mitchell’s innocence may have contributed to her condition.
It also seems that Laura Wightman was exempt from giving evidence during killer Luke Mitchell’s trial after being diagnosed with a “severe depressive disorder”.
Target/Girlfriend Kara Van Null
Sadistic killer Luke Mitchell appears to have targeted Kara Van Null around the same time he targeted Jodi Jones.
It is not known if Luke Mitchell ever told Laura Wightman about Kara Van Null or about any of the other girls he had targeted.
However reporter Grace McLean’s following article on Kara Van Null told of how he had also attacked Kara with a knife to her throat in the lead up to his murder;
A teenager last night told how killer Luke Mitchell held a knife to her throat just a month before he killed and mutilated girlfriend Jodi Jones.
(Luke) Mitchell, then only 14 years old, pulled on a balaclava, grabbed Kara van Nuil from behind and warned her not to move as he pressed the blade to her neck.
Last night she said:
“I was absolutely terrified. He was so strong. I didn’t hear him coming. He just came up behind me, grabbed me around the neck with one arm and held the knife with the other.
‘He told me: “Move and you are f***ing dead”.’
Miss van Nuil, now 17, met (Luke) Mitchell at the Army Cadet HQ in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, when she joined his cadet unit in February, 2002.
They started dating a few weeks later, even though (Luke) Mitchell was already going out with Jodi and seeing another girl, Kimberley Thomson, in Perthshire.
Miss van Nuil told how she was at first mesmerised by (Luke) Mitchell and how he wooed her with romantic text messages.
But she brought the relationship to an end after he followed her into the cadet hut one night and threatened her with the knife.
She told the Scottish Daily Mail: ‘
‘He used to wear a balaclava and pull it up over his head like a hat.
‘We were at cadets in May when I went into the hut on my own. The instructors were out having a cigarette with the other cadets. I was messing about with the blackboard and I didn’t hear Luke coming but there was suddenly an arm around my neck.
I got a glimpse of him as I looked back and he had pulled his balaclava over his face. He then put a knife to my throat and said I would be dead if I moved an inch.
‘I was really scared and couldn’t move.
He was so strong. I couldn’t move my arms but I kept nipping his knees with my fingernails and begging him to let me go. He kept me like that for about a minute.
‘When he put the knife down I turned to face him and he said,
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
He tried to pretend it was a joke but my neck was red and I was genuinely scared. I was crying my eyes out.’
(Luke) Mitchell never returned to cadets after the attack. A month later he strangled 14-year-old Jodi and cut her throat.
Miss van Nuil regrets not telling her parents Angela, 39, and Bill, 55, about the attack until after the murder.
She said: ‘I never knew Jodi but when I found out Luke was her boyfriend I knew straight away that he had done it. I told my dad what happened in the cadet hut and he called the police.
‘They came around and took hours of statements but I was never called to court’
‘I’m so relieved – I couldn’t have faced him in the court. I’m so sorry for what happened to Jodi. When it first happened, I used to feel such guilt and think “that could have been me”.’
Miss van Nuil, of Gorebridge, Midlothian, said: ‘We never met anywhere but cadets, so I only saw him on Monday and Wednesday nights – I suppose because he was going out with Jodi.
‘One of my friends said he had five girls on the go but I didn’t care because I was crazy about him. He was so polite. I suspected he might have been a bit of a geek. But he always sent me lovely text messages.’
But Miss van Nuil said she also saw flashes of his temper: ‘One time he was on the shooting range and got told off by one of the instructors. All of a sudden he shouted something, threw down his gun and stormed off.
‘There were other times, too. If someone so much as criticised him, he would lose his temper and shout and swear at them.’ After the knife attack, she dumped (Luke) Mitchell.
But two days after he was first questioned about Jodi’s murder, Miss van Nuil saw him walking down her street. She said: ‘I was looking out the window. He was parading around like a cockerel. His friends all came out and started hugging him as if he was a hero.
I was terrified. I hid behind the curtain, shaking, and hoped he would not see me.’
Last night Miss Van Nuil broke down in tears on hearing the verdict.

Target Kimberley Tait
Reporter Lucy Bannerman made reference to another girl called Kimberley, who had also been threatened by Luke Mitchell with a knife after refusing “to sleep” with him;
Another fling ended on a more threatening note, with another West Lothian girl, Kimberley Tait, claiming (Luke) Mitchell once pulled a knife on her after she refused to sleep with him.
(Luke) Mitchell claimed the knife incident was only a joke.
Another 14 Year Old Girl & Her 5 Month Relationship With Killer Luke Mitchell Where He Also Threatened Her With A Knife In The Lead Up To His Murder
The following article by Chris Mooney refers to another 14 year old target of Luke Mitchell’s, who was also threatened by him with one of his knives;
A FORMER girlfriend of Luke Mitchell has told how he held a knife to her throat and threatened: “Dont move . . . or Ill gut you.”
Just months before he stabbed Jodi Jones to death, (Luke) Mitchell grabbed the girl and pressed his prized Swiss Army knife against the frightened 14-year-olds neck.
The terrifying incident was just one example of (Luke) Mitchells aggressive and unpredictable behaviour which disturbed his friends.
The pretty 14-year-old, who dated (Luke) Mitchell for about five months in 2003, told how the teenage killer pounced on her in a community hall in the Dalkeith area.
The girl – who asked to remain anonymous – was walking alone through the hall, where the pair attended a youth club together, when he grabbed her from behind.
He held the knife to her throat as he dragged her into a side room.
“I didnt know if he was joking around or not to begin with,” she said.
“He said: Dont move or Ill gut you. At first I thought he was just mucking about, but then I started to feel threatened.
“I was sore round my neck, it was bright red afterwards. He had grabbed me round the neck with his arm and held the knife at my throat, saying he was going to cut me and stuff like that.
“I was nipping his arm to get him off me and after a couple of minutes he let me go. I went outside and just tried to ignore him, but then he came out as if it was all a laugh and said sorry.
“There was no reason for him to do it. He just pulled the knife from his pocket and grabbed me. I thought it was really strange.”
Soon after the incident, in May, 2003, the girl ended the fledgling relationship – just a month before (Luke) Mitchell killed Jodi.
She broke things off after increasingly seeing a darker side to his personality. The final straw came when a friend told her (Luke) Mitchell was seeing another girl – who she is now sure was Jodi.
It now appears (Luke) Mitchell was seeing at least three different girls at the same time.
The murder trial jury heard that the teenage killer had also been seeing Kim Thomson, a 15-year-old from Kenmore, Perthshire, who looked strikingly like Jodi.
(Like) Mitchell had stayed in touch with Kim, who considered him as her boyfriend, after meeting her on holiday in the summer of 2002.
The ex-girlfriend who (Luke) Mitchell threatened with a knife told the Evening News she had initially found him charming, attractive and “basically a nice bloke”.
The pair were both 14 and went to the same youth club.
“When I first saw him, everybody in the room was chatting and we started talking – asking whats your name? and that sort of thing,” she said.
“We got each others phone numbers and started texting each other quite a lot. He was good-looking and I liked talking to him. I thought he was really nice.”
The teenager followed the same goth-style fashion as (Luke) Mitchell at the time, but shrugged it off as a fad and changed her image as she got older. She said they had got on well for a while, but then things had started to change.
“He sometimes showed a side that wasnt him. He was quite aggressive to me and to other people,” she added.
“He was really bad-tempered and he was totally unpredictable. He didnt want to be told what to do. I knew he carried weapons with him and he had a Swiss Army knife. I did wonder why he had it, but I never questioned him at all.”
The ex-girlfriend said shed had little contact with (Luke) Mitchell since they broke up, but that he had threatened her friends when he saw them in the street.
She added: “When I heard he was a suspect I knew he must have been going out with Jodi when he was seeing me.
“I was really upset when I heard what he was supposed to have done.
“At first, I never thought he could have done it. But, as all the stuff started to come together, I started to think it was possible, that he could do this, because of the way he acted and what hed done to me.”
Excerpts by Chris Mooney’s article for Edinburgh evening news dated 21st January 2005
The Other Younger Kimberley Thomson
In reality killer Luke Mitchell appears to have been targeting and abusing a minimum of 5-6 other girls, as well as Jodi Jones.
He also targeted another girl called Kimberley Thomson.
This Kimberley is believed to have been 2-3 years younger than Kimberley Thomson from Kenmore, Perthshire.
In 2021 Kimberley made the following Internet post;
I was one of 3 girls he was seeing at the time, unbeknown to us of course, including Jodi.
1 blatant lie I keep hearing is that he didn’t have a parka jacket before the incident. YES HE DID.
And he carried his knives in it and bragged about it…

‘I’m so relieved – I couldn’t have faced him in the court. I’m so sorry for what happened to Jodi. When it first happened, I used to feel such guilt and think “that could have been me”.’
Miss van Nuil, of Gorebridge, Midlothian, said: ‘We never met anywhere but cadets, so I only saw him on Monday and Wednesday nights – I suppose because he was going out with Jodi.
‘One of my friends said he had five girls on the go but I didn’t care because I was crazy about him. He was so polite. I suspected he might have been a bit of a geek. But he always sent me lovely text messages.’
But Miss van Nuil said she also saw flashes of his temper: ‘One time he was on the shooting range and got told off by one of the instructors. All of a sudden he shouted something, threw down his gun and stormed off.
‘There were other times, too. If someone so much as criticised him, he would lose his temper and shout and swear at them.’ After the knife attack, she dumped (Luke) Mitchell.
But two days after he was first questioned about Jodi’s murder, Miss van Nuil saw him walking down her street. She said: ‘I was looking out the window. He was parading around like a cockerel. His friends all came out and started hugging him as if he was a hero.
I was terrified. I hid behind the curtain, shaking, and hoped he would not see me.’ Last night Miss Van Nuil broke down in tears on hearing the verdict.

Target Kimberley Tait
Reporter Lucy Bannerman made reference to another girl called Kimberley, who had also been threatened by Luke Mitchell with a knife after refusing “to sleep” with him;
Another fling ended on a more threatening note, with another West Lothian girl, Kimberley Tait, claiming (Luke) Mitchell once pulled a knife on her after she refused to sleep with him.
(Luke) Mitchell claimed the knife incident was only a joke.
Another 14 Year Old Girl & Her 5 Month Relationship With Killer Luke Mitchell Where He Also Threatened Her With A Knife In The Lead Up To His Murder
The following article by Chris Mooney refers to another 14 year old target of Luke Mitchell’s, who was also threatened by him with one of his knives;
A FORMER girlfriend of Luke Mitchell has told how he held a knife to her throat and threatened: “Dont move . . . or Ill gut you.”
Just months before he stabbed Jodi Jones to death, (Luke) Mitchell grabbed the girl and pressed his prized Swiss Army knife against the frightened 14-year-olds neck.
The terrifying incident was just one example of (Luke) Mitchells aggressive and unpredictable behaviour which disturbed his friends.
The pretty 14-year-old, who dated (Luke) Mitchell for about five months in 2003, told how the teenage killer pounced on her in a community hall in the Dalkeith area.
The girl – who asked to remain anonymous – was walking alone through the hall, where the pair attended a youth club together, when he grabbed her from behind.
He held the knife to her throat as he dragged her into a side room.
“I didnt know if he was joking around or not to begin with,” she said.
“He said: Dont move or Ill gut you. At first I thought he was just mucking about, but then I started to feel threatened.
“I was sore round my neck, it was bright red afterwards. He had grabbed me round the neck with his arm and held the knife at my throat, saying he was going to cut me and stuff like that.
“I was nipping his arm to get him off me and after a couple of minutes he let me go. I went outside and just tried to ignore him, but then he came out as if it was all a laugh and said sorry.
“There was no reason for him to do it. He just pulled the knife from his pocket and grabbed me. I thought it was really strange.”
Soon after the incident, in May, 2003, the girl ended the fledgling relationship – just a month before (Luke) Mitchell killed Jodi.
She broke things off after increasingly seeing a darker side to his personality. The final straw came when a friend told her (Luke) Mitchell was seeing another girl – who she is now sure was Jodi.
It now appears (Luke) Mitchell was seeing at least three different girls at the same time.
The murder trial jury heard that the teenage killer had also been seeing Kim Thomson, a 15-year-old from Kenmore, Perthshire, who looked strikingly like Jodi.
(Like) Mitchell had stayed in touch with Kim, who considered him as her boyfriend, after meeting her on holiday in the summer of 2002.
The ex-girlfriend who (Luke) Mitchell threatened with a knife told the Evening News she had initially found him charming, attractive and “basically a nice bloke”.
The pair were both 14 and went to the same youth club.
“When I first saw him, everybody in the room was chatting and we started talking – asking whats your name? and that sort of thing,” she said.
“We got each others phone numbers and started texting each other quite a lot. He was good-looking and I liked talking to him. I thought he was really nice.”
The teenager followed the same goth-style fashion as (Luke) Mitchell at the time, but shrugged it off as a fad and changed her image as she got older. She said they had got on well for a while, but then things had started to change.
“He sometimes showed a side that wasnt him. He was quite aggressive to me and to other people,” she added.
“He was really bad-tempered and he was totally unpredictable. He didnt want to be told what to do. I knew he carried weapons with him and he had a Swiss Army knife. I did wonder why he had it, but I never questioned him at all.”
The ex-girlfriend said shed had little contact with (Luke) Mitchell since they broke up, but that he had threatened her friends when he saw them in the street.
She added: “When I heard he was a suspect I knew he must have been going out with Jodi when he was seeing me.
“I was really upset when I heard what he was supposed to have done.
“At first, I never thought he could have done it. But, as all the stuff started to come together, I started to think it was possible, that he could do this, because of the way he acted and what hed done to me.”

The Other Younger Kimberley Thomson
In reality killer Luke Mitchell appears to have been targeting and abusing a minimum of 5-6 other girls, as well as Jodi Jones.
He also targeted another girl called Kimberley Thomson.
This Kimberley is believed to have been 2-3 years younger than Kimberley Thomson from Kenmore, Perthshire.
In 2021 Kimberley made the following Internet post;
I was one of 3 girls he was seeing at the time, unbeknown to us of course, including Jodi.
1 blatant lie I keep hearing is that he didn’t have a parka jacket before the incident. YES HE DID.
And he carried his knives in it and bragged about it…

Sadistic killer Luke Mitchell
Target/Girlfriend Kimberley Thomson
At around 44:35 during a 1st May 2023 youtube video titled keeping the record straight scammer Sandra Lean stated;
The previous relationship with Kimberley
They had a holiday romance
She did come to see him in the January
The December to January of 2003
Before he met Jodi
And that was the end of the contact
Sandra Lean
This is yet another of Sandra Lean’s bare faced lies!
Sadistic killer Luke Mitchell visited Kimberly Thomson on Valentine’s Day in February 2003 and was due to physically see her again around the time he committed his murder.
Luke Mitchell continued to give Kimberley Thomson the impression that he was her boyfriend, right up until he committed his murder on 30th June 2003.
A December 2004 BBC article stated;
Kimberley Thomson told the jury she had been the girlfriend of Luke Mitchell, the youth accused of murdering Jodi.
Miss Thomson said that when she read about Jodi’s death and the fact that Jodi had been Mr Mitchell’s girlfriend, she was annoyed.
She said: “I was upset. I knew he had obviously been cheating on me”
When asked how she would describe her relationship with Mr Mitchell, she said:
“Boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Mr Mitchell visited Kenmore in the autumn of 2002 and Miss Thomson stayed at the Mitchell home in Dalkeith from Boxing Day until just after New Year.
The accused also visited her on St Valentine’s Day 2003.
There were also telephone records and text messages which supported the fact that killer Luke Mitchell was giving Kimberley Thomson this impression.
Another media article read;
The judges were informed (Luke) Mitchell told police investigating the murder he had not spoken to Kimberley since January 2003, but records showed 79 calls between then and the end of June.
There was also a Valentine’s Day visit.
Just two days before her murder, Jodi left (Luke) Mitchell’s house, by taxi, about 10pm.
After that there was a series of long telephone calls, totalling more than three hours.
Mr Beckett said it was an example of how (Luke) Mitchell was prepared to lie, even in the face of known evidence.
Sandra Lean went on to state in her keeping the record straight video;
So whatever kind of relationship he was having with Kimberley
After that was not sexual
Sandra Lean
The video then played a sound bite by YouTuber What They Found, who stated;
Jodi at one point believed that Luke was cheating on her when confiding with best friend Kirsten Ford
What They Found
Sadistic Killer Luke Mitchell Was Targeting Numerous Girls All At Once
Sandra Lean replied in response to this statement;
That makes me very sad
There was a point at which Jodi wondered if Luke was cheating on her
Not with Kimberley
Somebody else
And do you know what made her wonder about that
Her mum suggested it
There was another good friend that, female friend, that they went about with
All the time
And her mum suggested that maybe Luke had something going with the friend as well
Jo, eh Jodi approached both of them
They were both absolutely horrified
And reassured her that that was absolutely not the case
Sandra Lean
Target/Girlfriend Laura Wightman
In reality Sandra Lean has no idea why Jodi Jones “wondered if Luke was cheating on her”.
The “goodfriend” referred to by Sandra Lean was Laura Wightman.
Kirsten Ford, one of Jodi Jones closest friends spoke to reporter Jane Hamilton about Laura Wightman and Luke Mitchell “cheating” on Jodi.
Jane Hamilton’s article stated in part;
Months before she was killed, the 14-year-old told closest pal Kirsten Ford: ‘Luke has all these knives in his bedroom. Isn’t that weird?’
Last night, Kirsten, now 16, said: ‘Jodi was disturbed by it. She wouldn’t have said it otherwise.
But only weeks into the relationship, Jodi became worried about (Luke) Mitchell’s close friendship with Laura Wightman, a girl he would later take to her graveside.
“Laura was with Luke a lot and once Jodi heard that he might have been cheating on her but I think she spoke to him and they sorted it out”
When he interviewed the killer on the 14th of August 2003 during a section 14 interview, detective constable George Thomson asked sadistic killer Luke Mitchell about whether or not he had two-timed Jodi with other girls – this included Laura Wightman.
As was usual for killer Luke Mitchell – he bare faced lied!
A BBC article stated;
Detective Constable George Thomson carried out the interviews with Luke Mitchell in August 2003, when the boy was just 15.
“During the time you were going out with Jodi did you see other girls?
Did you two-time Jodi?”
Mr Mitchell told him:
“No”
He said he had not seen Kimberley since New Year and the last time he had phoned her was “about January-ish”.
By the time of this meeting Luke Mitchell and Laura Wightman were known to be having a sexual relationship, as is clear from the following excerpts by reporter Maggie Barry;
KILLER Luke Mitchell was a violent thug – but girls flocked to be his lover.
The teenager’s reputation as a moody rebel captured the hearts of girls in Dalkeith.
But behind his mask, (Luke) Mitchell was a woman-hater who tried to force his lovers to have sex at the point of a knife.
Within days of Jodi’s murder he had replaced her with another girl.
Jodi had been unaware when she began dating (Luke)Mitchell that he already had a girlfriend who looked “almost identical”.
Mitchell conned both girls into thinking their relationship was special and exclusive.
He introduced her to cannabis, she got a lip piercing and had sex with him.
Within weeks of Jodi’s death, (Luke) Mitchell was having sex with one of her best friends.

When he was banned from Jodi’s funeral, (Luke) Mitchell took his new girlfriend to her graveside knowing it would attract attention.
The blonde teenager clutched a red rose as she stood, wearing a Nirvana T-shirt, beside (Luke) Mitchell.
Ever the showman, (Luke) Mitchell knelt down to comfort her as she wept while reading cards and tributes from Jodi’s classmates.
Sadistic, Sexual Deviant Luke Mitchell Tagetted, Conned & Abused Many Girls
Laura Wightman appears to have made two police witness statements, one in July 2003 and one in September 2004.
It also appears it was sometime before the killers trial that Laura Wightman became “estranged” from Luke Mitchell, as was reported by Lucy Bannerman;
…one friend sided with (Luke) Mitchell forming an intimate relationship with him in the aftermath of the killing
Despite her initial loyalty, she and (Luke) Mitchell became estranged and the 15-year-old was later diagnosed with a severe depressive disorder, exacerbated by the heavy use of cannabis and the trauma of her friends murder.
Increasing doubts over (Luke) Mitchell’s innocence may have contributed to her condition.
It also seems that Laura Wightman was exempt from giving evidence during killer Luke Mitchell’s trial after being diagnosed with a “severe depressive disorder”.
Target/Girlfriend Kara Van Null
Sadistic killer Luke Mitchell appears to have targeted Kara Van Null around the same time he targeted Jodi Jones.
It is not known if Luke Mitchell ever told Laura Wightman about Kara Van Null or about any of the other girls he had targeted.
However reporter Grace McLean’s following article on Kara Van Null told of how he had also attacked Kara with a knife to her throat in the lead up to his murder;
A teenager last night told how killer Luke Mitchell held a knife to her throat just a month before he killed and mutilated girlfriend Jodi Jones.
(Luke) Mitchell, then only 14 years old, pulled on a balaclava, grabbed Kara van Nuil from behind and warned her not to move as he pressed the blade to her neck.
Last night she said: ‘I was absolutely terrified. He was so strong. I didn’t hear him coming. He just came up behind me, grabbed me around the neck with one arm and held the knife with the other.
‘He told me: “Move and you are f***ing dead”.’
Miss van Nuil, now 17, met (Luke) Mitchell at the Army Cadet HQ in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, when she joined his cadet unit in February, 2002.
They started dating a few weeks later, even though (Luke) Mitchell was already going out with Jodi and seeing another girl, Kimberley Thomson, in Perthshire.
Miss van Nuil told how she was at first mesmerised by (Luke) Mitchell and how he wooed her with romantic text messages.
But she brought the relationship to an end after he followed her into the cadet hut one night and threatened her with the knife.
She told the Scottish Daily Mail: ‘
‘He used to wear a balaclava and pull it up over his head like a hat.
‘We were at cadets in May when I went into the hut on my own. The instructors were out having a cigarette with the other cadets. I was messing about with the blackboard and I didn’t hear Luke coming but there was suddenly an arm around my neck.
I got a glimpse of him as I looked back and he had pulled his balaclava over his face. He then put a knife to my throat and said I would be dead if I moved an inch.
‘I was really scared and couldn’t move.
He was so strong. I couldn’t move my arms but I kept nipping his knees with my fingernails and begging him to let me go. He kept me like that for about a minute.
‘When he put the knife down I turned to face him and he said,
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
He tried to pretend it was a joke but my neck was red and I was genuinely scared. I was crying my eyes out.’
(Luke) Mitchell never returned to cadets after the attack. A month later he strangled 14-year- old Jodi and cut her throat.
Miss van Nuil regrets not telling her parents Angela, 39, and Bill, 55, about the attack until after the murder.
She said: ‘I never knew Jodi but when I found out Luke was her boyfriend I knew straight away that he had done it. I told my dad what happened in the cadet hut and he called the police.
‘They came around and took hours of statements but I was never called to court’
‘I’m so relieved – I couldn’t have faced him in the court. I’m so sorry for what happened to Jodi. When it first happened, I used to feel such guilt and think “that could have been me”.’

She told the Scottish Daily Mail:
‘He used to wear a balaclava and pull it up over his head like a hat.
‘We were at cadets in May when I went into the hut on my own. The instructors were out having a cigarette with the other cadets. I was messing about with the blackboard and I didn’t hear Luke coming but there was suddenly an arm around my neck.
I got a glimpse of him as I looked back and he had pulled his balaclava over his face. He then put a knife to my throat and said I would be dead if I moved an inch.
‘I was really scared and couldn’t move.
He was so strong. I couldn’t move my arms but I kept nipping his knees with my fingernails and begging him to let me go. He kept me like that for about a minute.
‘When he put the knife down I turned to face him and he said,
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
He tried to pretend it was a joke but my neck was red and I was genuinely scared. I was crying my eyes out.’
(Luke) Mitchell never returned to cadets after the attack. A month later he strangled 14-year- old Jodi and cut her throat.
Miss van Nuil regrets not telling her parents Angela, 39, and Bill, 55, about the attack until after the murder.
She said: ‘I never knew Jodi but when I found out Luke was her boyfriend I knew straight away that he had done it. I told my dad what happened in the cadet hut and he called the police.
‘They came around and took hours of statements but I was never called to court’
‘I’m so relieved – I couldn’t have faced him in the court. I’m so sorry for what happened to Jodi. When it first happened, I used to feel such guilt and think “that could have been me”.’
Miss van Nuil, of Gorebridge, Midlothian, said: ‘We never met anywhere but cadets, so I only saw him on Monday and Wednesday nights – I suppose because he was going out with Jodi.
‘One of my friends said he had five girls on the go but I didn’t care because I was crazy about him. He was so polite. I suspected he might have been a bit of a geek. But he always sent me lovely text messages.’
But Miss van Nuil said she also saw flashes of his temper: ‘One time he was on the shooting range and got told off by one of the instructors. All of a sudden he shouted something, threw down his gun and stormed off.
‘There were other times, too. If someone so much as criticised him, he would lose his temper and shout and swear at them.’ After the knife attack, she dumped (Luke) Mitchell.
But two days after he was first questioned about Jodi’s murder, Miss van Nuil saw him walking down her street. She said: ‘I was looking out the window. He was parading around like a cockerel. His friends all came out and started hugging him as if he was a hero.
I was terrified. I hid behind the curtain, shaking, and hoped he would not see me.’ Last night Miss Van Nuil broke down in tears on hearing the verdict.

Target Kimberley Tait
Reporter Lucy Bannerman made reference to another girl called Kimberley, who had also been threatened by Luke Mitchell with a knife after refusing “to sleep” with him;
Another fling ended on a more threatening note, with another West Lothian girl, Kimberley Tait, claiming (Luke) Mitchell once pulled a knife on her after she refused to sleep with him.
(Luke) Mitchell claimed the knife incident was only a joke.
Another 14 Year Old Girl & Her 5 Month Relationship With Killer Luke Mitchell Where He Also Threatened Her With A Knife In The Lead Up To His Murder
The following article by Chris Mooney refers to another 14 year old target of Luke Mitchell’s, who was also threatened by him with one of his knives;
A FORMER girlfriend of Luke Mitchell has told how he held a knife to her throat and threatened: “Dont move . . . or Ill gut you.”
Just months before he stabbed Jodi Jones to death, (Luke) Mitchell grabbed the girl and pressed his prized Swiss Army knife against the frightened 14-year-olds neck.
The terrifying incident was just one example of (Luke) Mitchells aggressive and unpredictable behaviour which disturbed his friends.
The pretty 14-year-old, who dated (Luke) Mitchell for about five months in 2003, told how the teenage killer pounced on her in a community hall in the Dalkeith area.
The girl – who asked to remain anonymous – was walking alone through the hall, where the pair attended a youth club together, when he grabbed her from behind.
He held the knife to her throat as he dragged her into a side room.
“I didnt know if he was joking around or not to begin with,” she said.
“He said: Dont move or Ill gut you. At first I thought he was just mucking about, but then I started to feel threatened.
“I was sore round my neck, it was bright red afterwards. He had grabbed me round the neck with his arm and held the knife at my throat, saying he was going to cut me and stuff like that.
“I was nipping his arm to get him off me and after a couple of minutes he let me go. I went outside and just tried to ignore him, but then he came out as if it was all a laugh and said sorry.
“There was no reason for him to do it. He just pulled the knife from his pocket and grabbed me. I thought it was really strange.”
Soon after the incident, in May, 2003, the girl ended the fledgling relationship – just a month before (Luke) Mitchell killed Jodi.
She broke things off after increasingly seeing a darker side to his personality. The final straw came when a friend told her (Luke) Mitchell was seeing another girl – who she is now sure was Jodi.
It now appears (Luke) Mitchell was seeing at least three different girls at the same time.
The murder trial jury heard that the teenage killer had also been seeing Kim Thomson, a 15-year-old from Kenmore, Perthshire, who looked strikingly like Jodi.
(Luke) Mitchell had stayed in touch with Kim, who considered him as her boyfriend, after meeting her on holiday in the summer of 2002.
The ex-girlfriend who (Luke) Mitchell threatened with a knife told the Evening News she had initially found him charming, attractive and “basically a nice bloke”.
The pair were both 14 and went to the same youth club.
“When I first saw him, everybody in the room was chatting and we started talking – asking whats your name? and that sort of thing,” she said.
“We got each others phone numbers and started texting each other quite a lot. He was good-looking and I liked talking to him. I thought he was really nice.”
The teenager followed the same goth-style fashion as (Luke) Mitchell at the time, but shrugged it off as a fad and changed her image as she got older. She said they had got on well for a while, but then things had started to change.
“He sometimes showed a side that wasnt him. He was quite aggressive to me and to other people,” she added.
“He was really bad-tempered and he was totally unpredictable. He didnt want to be told what to do. I knew he carried weapons with him and he had a Swiss Army knife. I did wonder why he had it, but I never questioned him at all.”
The ex-girlfriend said shed had little contact with (Luke) Mitchell since they broke up, but that he had threatened her friends when he saw them in the street.
She added: “When I heard he was a suspect I knew he must have been going out with Jodi when he was seeing me.
“I was really upset when I heard what he was supposed to have done.
“At first, I never thought he could have done it. But, as all the stuff started to come together, I started to think it was possible, that he could do this, because of the way he acted and what hed done to me.”
Excerpts by Chris Mooney’s article for Edinburgh evening news dated 21st January 2005
The Other Younger Kimberley Thomson
In reality killer Luke Mitchell appears to have been targeting and abusing a minimum of 5-6 other girls, as well as Jodi Jones.
He also targeted another girl called Kimberley Thomson.
This Kimberley is believed to have been 2-3 years younger than Kimberley Thomson from Kenmore, Perthshire.
In 2021 Kimberley made the following Internet post;
I was one of 3 girls he was seeing at the time, unbeknown to us of course, including Jodi.
1 blatant lie I keep hearing is that he didn’t have a parka jacket before the incident. YES HE DID.
And he carried his knives in it and bragged about it…
Killer Luke Mitchell’s Violent Nature & Knife Attacks Increased Before He Committed His Murder
Killer Luke Mitchell’s knife attacks on girls are reported to have started when he was 12 years old, as is evidenced by Kenny Farquharson in the below excerpts;
When he was 12, (Luke) Mitchell had used a knife to threaten the daughter of a family who were guests in the Mitchell house.
He had climbed onto her bed, held the knife to her throat and asked for a kiss.
Tap on the button below to read a TIMELINE which includes some of killer Luke Mitchell’s reported violent and disturbed nature and previous knife threats, beginning from when he was aged 7;
It is not known if it was Philip, Corinne or Shane Mitchell who bought sadistic killer Luke Mitchell the wooden brown handled skunting knife for Christmas 2002, which he used to commit his murder 6 months or so later.
However what is known is that the jury who heard the 42 days worth of evidence during the killers 2004/05 trial were shown a 2002 receipt for this still missing knife.
A media article, which was published 15 days after sadistic killer Luke Mitchell committed his murder, stated;
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
A 22nd January 2005 article stated that killer Luke Mitchell had threatened another young girl with his new knife, because she had refused to have sex with him.
Excerpts from the article by Lucy Bannerman also stated;
Mitchell’s enthusiasm for blades is well-remembered in Livingston.
He was particularly proud of one knife he received as a present
“He said: ‘Look what I got. Do you think it’s cool?” recalls one female friend.
“He thought it was something brilliant. We thought it was a bit weird.”
Excerpts from a Herald article by Lucy Bannerman here dated 22nd January 2005
Corinne Mitchell bought her killer son Luke Mitchell a replacement skunting knife, around a year after the wooden brown handled knife had been purchased.
What They Found has recently published another video focusing on killer Luke Mitchell’s missing wooden brown handled skunting knife, which can be watched and listened to below;

9th May 2007: Sandra Lean Speaks Publicly For The First Time About Her Support For Sadistic Killer Luke Mitchell
“I can’t imagine what Jodi’s family have been through. And for them to have to face the possibility that it wasn’t Luke who did this – how betrayed will they feel? How devastating for them”
“But my girls used a path to walk to Newbattle High School – not the path where Jodi died, but one not unlike it. I wanted to know that they were safe,” she explains.
“The more I looked, the more pieces didn’t fit”
“I wrote this because I was so bloody angry” she explains.
“We were all trotting along thinking things were one way when they are not. I wanted to raise awareness and get change. I want people to get as mad as a box of frogs too, to say they don’t want innocent people locked up and I want to be sure that we are safe”
“Don’t give us this bull that we have locked up someone and that’s it. I want to know that the person they have is the right person so when I go to the shop for a bottle of wine or a loaf of bread he isn’t going jump out at me”
“Everyone says you are safe, he is off the streets. But in so many cases I’ve looked at the person that did it is still free and it could be anyone, it could be the person across the street or over the fence. It might be your or your friends’ kids who are in the wrong place at the wrong time”
16th February 2008: Sandra Lean Announces On Writers.Net Forum She Is Taking Diggory Press To Court. There Is Zero Evidence That She Ever Did
Hi, I’m another of The Seventeen, and I can confirm Gill’s post – we are indeed taking Diggory to court, and, like Gill, I also got suckered into the Platinum Package. Unfortuately, being very naive, I organised and booked a countrywide book tour, at great expense, expecting my book to be in the shops. Worse, I was highlighting several cases of wrongful conviction, so all of these people and their families were extremely hopeful that the publicity would generate interest and public support for them. I have rarely felt so low about anything – these people trusted me with their stories, and I feel i let them down terribly, all because Diggory doesn’t do what it says it will do. I have not received one penny in royalties, and have had nothing but rudeness from Diggory when I tried to put things right. They eve sent a very rude email to a friend of mine, who had emailed on my behalf because I thought my own emails weren’t getting through. I know my book has sold many copies because of the feedback I have had personally, and because of the ratings and comments on Amazon. I’ll pop in from time to time to leave updates on the situation.

Your money will provide the time needed to create a solid foundation for a complete review of the case and the possibility of finally obtaining true justice, for Luke and for Jodi.
We need to move quickly. For the first time since 2003, there is a huge amount of positive interest in the case. Most people don’t realise that Luke’s sentence is “without limit” – unless the conviction is overturned, there is no release date for him. And without a proper foundation, creating the conditions to review the case is an almost impossible task.
Your support will mean that I can dedicate much more time to systematically creating a permanent, searchable record of all the details of the case which, in turn, will mean that we can quickly and accurately provide information for experts who can help review the case.”
It has been frustrating to have to try to do this work in small bursts between other commitments. To be able to concentrate fully, for extended periods of time, means we will finally, once and for all, have permanent records that can be accessed in an instant.
With your help, we have the best possible chance of discovering the truth about what really happened to Jodi … and who was really responsible.

To the people who have given me business advice and tech advice behind the scenes to help with the funding and things like that
Erm huge thank you to all of you, you’re absolutely amazing
Now a couple of people have been in touch
A couple of people who have business backgrounds and accounting backgrounds and tech backgrounds have been in touch and
The suggestion has been, in order, in order to set up a, a charitable or not for profit organisation it needs time
And in order to get this moving as quickly as possible
One of the suggestions has been that I set up a company “innocents betrayed” and the t-shirts and the hoodies and the car stickers and the face masks and the books and all of that
Can go through “innocents betrayed” while this other organisation this, this charity organisation is being set up
And then all the profits from innocents betrayed will go into this organisation
So I’d like to talk a little bit about that
A few people have commented and sent me links to inside justice which is a charity in England that looks at these cases erm, re-examines them and has lots of experts involved and, and sees if these cases can be taken back to the court of appeal
And I tried to set up an organisation like that for Scotland about 3 years ago I think, might, there abouts
Erm called “Long Road To Justice” and the idea for, for Long Road was to bring together not just experts that can re-examine cases but writers and film makers who can get these stories out
Just like we did with “Murder In A Small Town” and I could never get it off the ground for a number of reasons
Mainly funding, kept getting, fundraisers kept getting taken down eh suggestions that I was somehow trying to profiteer out of it
Yeah ‘cos for 18 years I’ve done it all at my own expense
Erm so the idea now is that a company called innocents betrayed can be set up very quickly and I have someone working on that right now
Erm so after, probably tomorrow now, I’ll, I’ll put out the two new email addresses that I was gonna put out during the week and never had time for, to cover ideas and help, so people with ideas and people that can help
Once innocents betrayed is up and running the company, not the book, is up and running we can start getting all these ideas into action and the, the, the erm accounts for innocents betrayed will be looked at, will be kept by someone else
So that there completely transparent
I’ll pay the tax on all of the donations to Long Road, that come through innocents betrayed but, wha, it’ll take several weeks to get Long Road To Justice set up, which is the charitable organisation which we hope will be able to look at other cases, Luke’s as well, but other cases in Scotland and try to, to help take them forward or to get their stories out there for other people to help
Erm again these things take time and it’s not, neither of them are ready to go just yet but I will let everybody know when they are ready to go

The 10:20pm, or Just Before This Time, Text Message
In Part 259 of this ongoing blog series (which can be read by tapping on the button below) it was pointed out that Judith Jones texted killer Luke Mitchell’s mobile telephone at 10:20pm.
Again Sandra Lean stated in her 2nd innocence fraud book;
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)
Sandra Lean also stated in her 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)
Mark McKeown Aka Mark M Ryan Aka “Janine Did It” Aka Stookiebhoy Aka Scottish Bike Squad AKA The Seer Etc ..
During liar and scammer Sandra Lean’s live video on the 14th March 2021 Mark McKeown, who went by numerous aliases, asked the following question;
Was Judy ever asked why she waited more than 40 minutes to text Luke
Mark McKeown – 14th March 2021 (at around 5:28 here)
“Isn’t it amazing how quickly we forget“
Sandra Lean stated in response to Mark McKeown’s question;
She said she’d lost track of time
Ithink
Or
That might have been earlier
No that was earlier
Erm
When Luke called
To, to see if Jodi had left
And
Erm
That was 40 minutes as well
And Jodi’s mum said she’d lost track of time
So I don’t think we ever got an explanation for the, the 40 minutes past her, her curfew time that night
Sandra Lean – 14th March 2021
Judith Jones did not speak to killer Luke Mitchell at 5:40pm, that was Allen Ovens.
What was Sandra Lean referring to when she stated “that was40 minutes as well”?
“As well” as what?
Judith Jones was “clock watching” from 10.00pm, when Jodi should have come home”.
Judith Jones sent her text message at 10:20pm, or just before this time.
