I find the idea that Jodi’s whole family would be involved in her death a bit hard to swallow

Deadhead

Indeed, it does seem like a stretch too far. But what if, having taken certain decisions and steps, family members found themselves inextricably implicated, so that telling “the truth” would have been virtually impossible.

Let me run a hypothetical line of reasoning here. A male member of Jodi’s extended family has had a run in with Jodi earlier in the day. He also has a history of violence and unpredictable behaviour. (This scenario, in fact, can be applied to various male members of the extended family.)

Mother/Granny later get wind that something has happened between Jodi and this male, as a result of the earlier run in, but at this stage, they are not quite sure what, and don’t, even in their wildest nightmares, imagine the worst. The concern here would be to find Jodi, and “sort it all out” without the involvement of the authorities, since that involvement would mean family male would be in deep trouble.

By the time Jodi has been found, horribly murdered, several members of the family have already been in contact with each other, in order to “sort out” whatever it was they thought had happened – how to now explain that to the authorities?

Then the cops take over, and, almost instantly, set their sights on Luke.

In their shock and disbelief over what has happened to Jodi, the family members can justify their earlier actions to themselves – they were just afraid that one of their own family members had possibly hurt Jodi, but their fears were unfounded, since it was Luke who had done this terrible thing to her.

Jigsawman (GOD) Aka Sandra Lean – 7th April 2010

For the best part of 9 years and more, this poster, Jigsawman (GOD aka Sandra Lean) has had their mind tuned into, this girls family being responsible and complicit for, not only the cover up of their own but the incarceration of sadistic killer Luke Mitchell.

They have been steadfast, in their belief that one mother, inconceivably would aid their child in anyway upon the death of his girlfriend.

A girl whom is not close to her heart, and her son, who had barely been seeing this girl for  3 months.

Yet, upon their reasoning of the evidence – they believe, that not only would the mother of this girl, cover and aid her other child in the murder of her youngest. That the extended family did the very same. It is easy to see why they would come to this conclusion:

For Luke Mitchell to be innocent – then all of the evidence from this family has to be false.

To aid in this complicity, We have further extended people throughout this investigation , whom also aided this family, in this cover up.

The reasoning behind that, for Jigsawman (Aka Sandra Lean) is also very simple – the police chose to treat these two families differently, what could be the reasoning, as to why they should have been treated the same, or  indeed the Jone’s family, with more, justified suspicion, After all:

This is a family of delinquents – The Jones’ (and extended family). The daily trash reader type. Or,

The other family, of middle class, respectability – The Mitchell’s. Reader of the Guardian. 

It is appalling and unbelievable that respectable people like the Mitchells should have their son targeted when the obvious reputation of the Jones’ deserved so much more. 

We don’t need to look at evidence we just need to look at reputation, to hang with everything else. 

The scenario, given above is of the most basic – polite that I have witnessed over these years. You can almost feel the curl of the fingers and picture the grimace upon this posters face, as they try their best, to answer the question from Deadhead – without appearing to directly blame this family. 

This ‘what if’ scenario should really read ————

“Indeed, it does seem like a stretch too far” BUT:

Did you know Deadhead, there is a history of violence and unpredictable behaviour that runs rife through the very core and beyond of this family. This family knew something had happened, that this male member had hurt his sister but didn’t know, to what extent. They had already began in their cover up. Hoping to find them both, before things went too far. 

To them it was a blessing, a turn of good fortune for them, that someone else was going to take the rap. It is better to lose one child than two. Easier, to justify themselves for any actions they may take, in helping the police to frame Luke Mitchell.

After all, what did it matter to this other mother, this family had no moral or sense of right, they are that closely connected in deviance – it was easy to get everyone to join forces, It did not matter, the horror in which this young girl met her end neither did the safety of others cause concern.

Their only aim was to protect this male, within this large family circle. Nobody else got a second thought – they happily read the rags, blessed in relief that this wee laddie was getting fitted up and one of their own would be safe??

Does that all seem just a stretch too far – I wonder?

It was ascertained that this girl had left her family home at or around 4.50pm – done by timings of the father getting home from work.

Both this mother and father stated that, the brother was in the house at this time – having dinner. For this male member to be responsible, then this three were lying. Plain and simple.

If at this point they were lying then it stands to reason that this visit to a graveyard was also a lie – were they out looking for this male member? 

They (at the very least the father) were most certainly home when Luke called the landline at 5.38 there was no connection at 5.32. Were they out at his point too looking – from the father getting home?

There obviously at this point was no dinner together, all lies?

Where did they go to look, who did they phone?

I would presume at this point, there has been several calls, consistently being made to this male members phone, from his mother and father? 

Calls also to various other family members, in their search for both Jodi and her brother, from the father getting home, from Jodi going out and throughout the course of the evening?

That is, if of course, Jodi did not leave the house at all until much later.

This of course takes away any sightings, so safe to assume she had left, by at least 5.30.

This family, now by this stage and for several hours, several of them are still trying to locate this brother and sister. 

They have to quickly put a plan into action – just incase their worst fear comes to pass.

The mother plays it cool.

She texts Luke’s phone – telling her daughter to get home, She knows her daughter isn’t with Luke, its all a ploy to protect the brother.

Luke phones her back, she fakes concern. 

There is no frantic call to the granny – the granny already knows the concern about this brother and sister.

Now I’m stuck.

“The family want to get this all sorted without the involvement of the authorities“?

Why did the mother phone the police at this point? 

Simple really. The plan had already been hatched, the call to the police was their first point in the cover up, for this male member? 

Is everyone thinking the same as me here? Where actually at this point, is this male member?
Has he still been out the whole of the evening, previous efforts to trace and look for him, fell flat?

So they actually dont know where he is, takes us back to, why call the police? they still havent traced him?

Which takes us onto present day events?

Corinne Mitchell infers heavily that the search party are looking for someone else, not Jodi? maybe both still?

Sandra Lean has the search party at the top of this path prior to 11pm?

They are tying the two together?
They could not possibly have been on the path, if they had just found out Jodi was missing, just after 10.40pm?

Yet, of course there are two people missing, the inference still to this day that the family were searching for both?

So, Alice Walker, Steven Kelly, Judith Jones, Allen Ovens and Janine Jones all at this point have concocted their story?

Alice Walker wants to re check this path, not because Luke checked with his feet, but she is determined to find Joey Jones and Jodi, she is not worried her grandaughter may have hurt herself, she is worried that Joey Jones may have hurt her? 

So again at this point – Where was Joey Jones? when did he turn up?

The answer to this of course is very simple, he was in his house, he went with his mother and father to this path when Luke made the discovery. 

For some unknown reason?? – this appears to have been lost along the way, I wonder why?

Discussed many times on the Fact or Fiction (Colin Bowman’s: Luke Mitchell Fact & Myth) site along with others, it would not suit purpose for this to be reminded?

Read more on ‘psychology student’ Colin Bowman (Aka Bobbiedog) in Part 18a of The Truth Behind Killer Simon Hall & His Enablers #InnocenceFraud Phenomenon Scam ongoing blog series and Part 23 of this blog series by tapping on the links below;

It rather sullies, this speculation of searching for him on this path?

So whilst this search trio, arrived at this path looking for Joey Jones he was in his house, why were they looking?

Judith Jones forget to mention this to them, or had they not become part of this concocted plan by then? 

Did Judith Jones and Allen Ovens let them lead a merry dance of worry, whilst they helped Joey Jones in this cover up? 

So it appears Joey Jones in all his mental health problems is in police company from an early point of this enquiry?

Yet, however. In those first interviews from the family, these immediate members did not mention any altercations with this sister and brother.

This mother and father, gave an account, that must have been so far reached, yet did not raise questions of suspicion from the police.

That Alice Walker, Steven Kelly and Judith Jones also gave statements, concocted to the extreme, that these too, did not bring suspicion upon them.

Instead the police found suspicion in Luke Mitchell, Corinne Mitchell and Shane Mitchell’s statements. 

Could that very first statement from Shane Mitchell, in its vague account of events have drawn suspicion.

We have a mother, giving indepth detail about Shane Mitchell in relation to the dinner – in contrast from Shane Mitchell there was nothing. He could not remember.

They could not wait until further questioning – he was urged by his mother, to return to the police station, to give the account his mother had put forward. 

So, yes Deadhead, it appears it is far easier, to disprove all of this families evidence, that they had, from early in that evening, set out to try and defuse some family altercation, between these two siblings.

That they some how managed to fool the investigating team, involve immediate and extended family into this cover up. That there would of course be proof in abundance, should the need arise to show this.

The first basic thing being phone records – which in total contrast, would not I imagine, show quite substantial calls, from many parties to this males phone? Perhaps, even then, in this early cover up, they chose not to make calls – they knew these would be checked? So what exactly did they do, to find this missing couple??

There is much more as we go onto other suspects.

What is evident, to this point and to this day, that this poster, Jigsawman (GOD aka Sandra Lean) had indepth knowledge of this case.

That from very early in this case, they had drawn the conclusion of A another being the killer. This somehow appears to have warped their sense of all reason, upon actual evidence to suggest this.

Not every crime is about (circumstantial) DNA it is about so much more.

What we do have, is a case that shows, a clear sequence of events that firmly puts Luke Mitchell as being the person responsible. 

There is clearly, no clear sequence of events that puts any of this girls family members, anywhere close.

You simply can’t take part of one person, Steven Kelly, with nothing else to back this up, tie it in with parts of Joey Jones, again with nothing else, onto James Falconer and Gordon Dickie and similarly tie them in with nothing else.

There are no sequence of events, there was nothing in this investigation that could clearly point to these others. 

We have the DNA of Steven Kelly, we have the locality of the duo on the bike, we have the health problems of Joey Jones – in this we have other behavioural problems amongst them. 

One thing is clear though – to involve any of these people directly – it does point to a much larger attempt at conspiracy and complicity. Not just 3 people, as was, with the Mitchells. 

3 of these people were before this Jury – it is clear that the above poster (Sandra Lean) feels the brother should have been too?

For what purpose, I ask again? Does that make the system fairer, if we were to drag others in, simply to cause diversion of thought with a Jury, when there is no evidence for doing so? 

It has been shown clearly, that whilst there may be mitigating, aspects of these people, DNA, locality and behavioural problems. All known to the police whilst this investigation was ongoing

It has been shown clearly, that if the police were looking to fit someone up – there were far more likely and easier candidates to pursue.

Throughout this investigation – the suspicion that fell upon this laddie, from the onset only grew stronger. 

The stumbling blocks that were met, the difficulty no doubt of elimination, especially when one member of this families DNA was clearly present. 

Did not sway the police, in whom they believed was clearly responsible

They did not simply ‘have it in‘ for this laddie – there were clear reasons from which this supicion was warrented.

They did not toss some bloody coin, as one poster once commented – heads or tails, you’ll do, lets make up some shit?

This utter disbelief in the evidence against him. the time frame and everything amidst it.

What I wonder, if one day this laddie was to admit his guilt – would these conclusions then draw

That indeed, all was possible. No.

What will be said is:
So what! he still shouldn’t have been found guilty on the evidence produced. 

This wasn’t some flimsy circumstantial case, there was nothing, clearly that pointed to this crime being committed by A another.

We all can be proven wrong. He may very well, turn out to innocent – stranger things have happened. 

What should not happen, is the release on some technicality, of something wrong in law.

It should only happen, if one day, there is clear and precise evidence that A another did commit this crime. 

At this point and throughout these years – there has been nothing to show this. 

Not once ever, has there been any reality in how this laddie was – from the pro-innocence camp.

The weight put upon this ‘goth‘ and Manson fanatic, debate as to why this laddie was found guilty, not only by trial by media – by trial itself.

Used to distract away from the real evidence.

For me and many others – there is clarity in trophies, keeping things close, akin to the crime committed.

There was another knife purchased, likened to one that could have caused these injuries.

Readily at hand, from the one disposed of.

A knife reappearing after this house had been thoroughly searched. In a bag under dog bowls – the dog meat, in the bowls, itself searched?

There was a CD purchased, free or not from a magazine that showed the horrific death, by a bladed instrument of a girl in the woods.

There was another jacket purchased, in likeness to the one supposed missing. 

The pouch of this new knife was inscribed by insane writing. Done at a point when this laddie thought it was safe.

These items, keeping this horrific murder, close at heart.
