Was jodies phone not broken, would luke not have known this from school. It may have been a ploy to try and get jodi ungrounded as teenagers would do. Put the thought in jujs head as they would have known that jujitsu would have read it.
One of the most confounding aspects of this case was trying to work out the mobile phones. I don't remember the exact configuration any more, but it went something like this:
JuJ bought identical phones for JoJ and Jodi (but not for JaJ) for Christmas, but they got mixed up and the one that was intended for Jodi went to JoJ and vice versa. JoJ gave his old phone to his mum, then decided he didn't like the new phone, so used his old sim card in his mum's phone (i.e. his own, old phone) "sometimes." Jodi sometimes carried her sim card from her broken phone, in order to be able to put it in friends' phones. Somewhere in the six months between Christmas and June, JoJ took his old phone back from his mum, or maybe he didn't, and she went back to using her old phone, or maybe the new one she'd bought for JoJ. JaJ's phone was a contract phone, but it was registered in JuJ's name. A statement attributed to JoJ gave his phone number to police but it turned out it wasn't the number from his old phone, or the new phone his mum had bought him for Christmas. Another statement attributed to JoJ said he didn't know why he'd given that number, and didn't know whose number it was.
Still with me?
Then the police labelled the phones wrongly, and maybe the phone registered as Jodi's was actually the one they'd been told was JaJ's - the one registered to her mother - or maybe not.
GD's phone was registered to his dad. JF ... well, he had a phone, but sometimes he didn't, and just like his bikes, he swapped his phones too, but the phone he thought he had at the time belonged to someone else entirely (just like the gloves found hidden in YK's house.)
Everybody keeping up here? Jodi's sim card was never recovered, but a sim card is recorded in the evidence all on its own - nothing to identify where it came from, or to whom it belonged.
AW had a mobile phone, JuJ claimed to have called it repeatedly on the night of June 30th, but no calls from JuJ to AW's mobile were found on AW's phone logs until (from memory) about 2 o'clock in the morning. That means that after AW left her house with the search trio (prior to the police arriving at JuJ's house to take the missing person's report), JuJ could have had no idea where her mother was, what she was doing, or with whom. JuJ told the police that night "My mum's out looking for Jodi" - no mention of anyone else. In a later statement, she said "Somehow, they all met up."
JaJ claimed she spoke to her mum on her mobile phone at 23:18, when the search trio were "still in the complex" (i.e. had not met up with Luke yet). The timing of this call from phone logs is verified because JaJ said her mother was saying the police had just arrived - we know the police radioed in their presence at JuJ's house at 23:18.
Sk had a phone, but it had no credit in it. He took it with him anyway, and was able to make the 999 call to police telling them the search party had found a body. The number logged by police as having made this call did not match the numbers of any of the phone details passed to the defence.
My head hurts!
