All the points you mention are dealt with in Dr Lean and Scott Forbes books as you no doubt know Parky.
Obviously you dont agree with them.
I dont think Dr Lean or Scott Forbes rule out the possibility of a serial killer visiting the area,although we know who their preffered suspect is.
Wont you at least entertain the possibility that an unknown killer visited the area Parky? What makes you so sure of Mitchells guilt with such little firm evidence?
What I think may have happened is the killer escaped leaving little trace.Vanished into thin air you may say.And because of this the police believed that Luke Mitchell had to be the killer and convinced Jodi's family that this was indeed the case.
Therefore when the timings of all the witnesses were put together and they saw that it was doubtful that Luke had the time to carry out the murder they convinced themselves that some of the witnesses got their timings slightly wrong.After all,this had to be the case if Mitchell was guilty,and when the witnesses were told by the police that there was no doubt of this, they were more than happy to alter their statements in order to snare the evil little so and so.Who wouldn't?
This included saying that Luke went straight over the V break.
Now no one is suggesting anyone altered their statement for any other reason than making sure an evil killer was locked away,and the police probably believe they got the right man too.
But did they?
I will always have doubt of his guilt unless he makes a confession or conclusive evidence turns up.
Who knows maybe the real killer will confess some day!
Many are not caught for the crimes they carry out because there is insufficient evidence. Does not mean that a suspect is not the offender. You are leaning entirely towards Mitchell not being the killer, basing this upon sufficiency of evidence. Not an easy case by any means obtaining that guilty verdict. My posts as I have pointed out, are of highlighting realistic reason as to why he because suspect in her murder. Not some utter nonsense of a policeman writing something down wrong, not because they just needed to get someone, and not this massive conspiracy nonsense in place just now.
I have always said, that had the evidence not been enough to produce that guilty verdict, then the police would not have been looking for a substitute. Or had there not been enough evidence for the Crown to take the case on, equally an alternate killer would not have been sought.
You keep saying about some killer swooning in on the area and swooning back out again, you offer absolutely nothing with any rationale as to how they did this? Let us just place absolute realism around the area here.
The attack began and ended (forensic evidence) within the bottom area of that woodland strip, an area off the beaten track, not somewhere used as a walk way anywhere. If formed no part of any trails. We could actually apply this to the whole strip. There was a man made break in the wall, the V break. Which was used by locals as a short cut, or youngsters to play in it. Who knows really. But nothing anyone from out the area would know about.
Some rationale and realism here. The girl had been banned from using the path alone, we hear of the bottom half especially, and we can see why. It works further away from houses/school and becomes enclosed. This is where the V break is, under that canopy we hear of in the transcripts. May she have decided to walk this? When there is no evidence of her doing so ever, not even from Mitchell, until that evening he claimed she was to be walking to his. A girl we are told who had a level head, no phone, why on earth would she have been wandering in the woodland alone, completely secluded area, when already aware of risk, the ban on the path, due to areas that were secluded? Once you have battled through that, where are you placing your opportunist? Surely not hanging about in that area off the beaten track, not used as a walk way, be waiting until the cows come home on some youngster wandering into there for no reason? Can't have gotten her over that V break, seriously? Jump over there will you, I have a knife, she obliges, does she just wait there for them getting over? of course bloody not. Can't have been the break off the lane? Again no evidence of any altercation, next to a house, near to the school, a 5 min walk to where the attack commenced, how the hell did he magic her down there?
The stocky man where there were no confirmed sightings, positive ID's made of the girl, walking along that road around 5pm on the day she died. But c'mon. As above, walking into secluded areas with someone on her tail, what a crock of s**t.
And you are entering into conspiracy when talking of altering statements etc - Taken from the pages of books, when we see now that this did not take place in anyway important. No one ever agreed with Mitchells line of events on that path, and JaJ's saying he was not in hysterics fits in exactly with how everyone else had him, including himself!
