I've just finished watching both parts of this documentary on my5 and it's very worrying that someone can be convicted on very weak and purely circumstantial evidence, with no forensic connection to the crime at all. This documentary reveals that a recently deceased local weirdo called Mark Kane, who resembles Luke Mitchell, always carried a knife and was seen with cuts on his face the day after the murder by a friend. The friend claims his excuse was that he fell over and cut his face on thorns in the very same woods, on the very same day, as Jodi Jones was murdered! Also Jodi's cousin and a friend were seen on mopeds at the exact same V-shaped gap in the wall where Jodi was murdered at around the time of her murder; on top of that they waited 5 days before they spoke to police about it, despite appeals to come forward, and her cousin cut his own hair at home with scissors the next day! It is a bit odd that the PI's presenting this series don't name Jodi's cousin's friend, or reveal the identity of the person who was proved by DNA analysis to have deposited semen in a used condom found near the scene, or say who the anonymous suspect who for unspecified reasons they believe to be the biggest suspect of all is but this is apparently for legal reasons (might all three of these be the same person I wonder?). The eye witness who saw two people allegedly matching Luke and Jodi's descriptions arguing drove past the two individuals at speed with the windows closed and only saw them for a split second, not enough to clearly identify them or even say for sure they were arguing. In fact she failed to identify Luke in court! Compare the haste to prosecute Luke with the failure to prosecute anyone in the 'Murder in the Car Park' case!
