Q1 - In Jeremy's confession of Michelle's murder, he claimed to only steal part of the stereo system in Michelle's car, because he couldn't get the rest of it out. Would that be information "only the killer would know" or was it made public during the trial?

Q2 - In his original statement to police, Jeremy said he used his girlfriend's car to get to Michelle's car to steal her stereo (but you said he didn't even meet that girl until some weeks later.) Does that fact - that he didn't have a car to use to get to where the Michelle's car was found - make his original alibi much less likely? (I haven't seen a map of where all the various events occurred, but it seems like the car was out in the boonies, somewhere Jeremy was unlikely to have reached on foot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

EDIT: Q2 - Bone Valley podcast, Ep 6 around 52:10 (MacOS version, iOS happens earlier.) Asst. State Attorney C J Benefield questioning Jeremy Scott (2010): when asked how he got around to steal car stereos, Scott says he borrowed the car of his girlfriend, Jamie. He remembers the exact date he met Jamie, as April 17, 1987 (which is several weeks after Michelle’s murder on February 24, 1987, so he couldn't have used Jamie's car.) Later in the episode Jamie says the area where the Michelle's murder occurred was a place Jeremy had taken her to more than a few times to have sex.

Where did you find the statement about Jeremy using his girlfriend's car? Thank you

I heard it in the podcast. I think it was when Scott testified in the fingerprint hearing. Chapter 6 or 7. The prosecutor asks him how he got to the cars he broke into.

Ep 6, indeed, 52:xx mark, will update my post at the top level with more detail, in a while. Thanks, RadioPodDude!

u/ryecatcher19 , will need to hunt for it - if someone else can verify I'm correct (or even knows where it was said in the podcast), that would be great. Will get back to you when I find it.

Wow, that's very interesting. Great catch.

Do we know how far the spot that girlfriend mentioned was from the canal where she was found? They imply it is very close, but I wanted to check.

Also, Jeremy refers to the spot where he dumped the body as a lake in his early confession.
