From LM's side - That he was on the wall at the entrance of his estate by 17:32pm, whilst omitting the calls at first, this is where he said he made them from. Told at 17:38pm she had already left to meet him. He at one point said he walked to the cottages and no further, checking to see if she were in sight. We know this is true, that he was at the cottages touching 6pm. The girl from his story had been away from home over 20mins in what is a 17min walk approx.
That when he called his mother it was from Newbattle road, leaving then to go into the Abbey to meet with the boys. So, this is another hr approx of real time he claimed to be waiting around in one spot for the girl. Around 80mins on Newbattle road, with sightings of where he claimed to be, only being between two times, just short of 6pm until around 6:20pm approx.
Now his claim was that dinner was over early, he was walking out to meet with her but not going very far at all. The girl had never walked to his alone, this was to have been the first time. She had never before failed to turn up for a meeting between them, again this was to have been the first time. There was a ban in place from using the path alone due to the risk involved, its isolation. Therefore by the time of calling his mother, it had been a good 80mins from being told she had already left. We know he called the boys back chasing them up. But nothing back to the girl whom for the first time ever failed to keep to their arrangement.
There had clearly been an arrangement made most days from school to meet in the evening, nothing from phone logs to show anything to the contrary. Again this day was different, whatever plans had been made at school were changed. The girls curfew time had been lifted, and we see it was actually Jodi who's time had been restricted until 6pm. That change came after school that day, and as stated, she made contact with LM, reason for contact around that change? Bringing their meeting time forward, leaving home shortly after the last text to meet with him.
