Jodi was 14 years old when she was found brutally murdered just a short distance from her house. The alarm was quickly raised and Jodi was discovered by members of her family and her boyfriend the same night she went missing. Her 15 year old boyfriend Luke Mitchell was tried and convicted of her murder, but maintains his innocence after 15 years behind bars. Listen as Joannagh takes us through the case.
