Murder Suspect Jodi Arias 'Calm And Upbeat' During Police Interview One Day After Alleged Victim's Body Was Found

After hearing testimony from her other boyfriend who revealed how she visited him in Utah immediately after allegedly butchering Travis Alexander, the calm voice of Jodi Arias echoed around the Maricopa County court on Wednesday when taped police interviews with police, Breaking Celebrity News can reveal from inside the courtroom.
Recorded by Detective Esteban Flores of the Mesa Police Department on June 10, 2008 - the day after Alexander's bloody and decomposing body was found and six days after the alleged murder - Arias sounded calm and relaxed as she gave in-depth details about their relationship and her road trip to see Ryan Burns - all the while claiming she had not seen Travis for two months before his death since she had moved back to California.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Jodi, now 32, is accused of shooting the 30-year-old motivational speaker in the face, stabbing him 27 times and slitting his throat from ear to ear in his Mesa, Arizona home.
"I talked to him early Monday morning as I was up late Sunday night, I had a good 45 minute talk with him until about 4 a.m. He was a night owl and I was a night owl," the pretty brunette can be heard saying on the tape, as she sat looking frail and thin across the courtroom listening to herself.
"He was joking with me because I was going to Utah and not Arizona. The primary reason – and I didn’t tell Travis this - was I was going was to meet somebody. We weren’t totally open about our dating life," she admitted.
Arias then went on to detail how her rapid road trip went from Northern California through Santa Cruz and Monterey, to Los Angeles to visit a friend who recently had a baby, and on to West Jordan, Utah, with no mention of having visited Alexander, or of arriving 24 hours late to her final destination.
She said she spoke to Travis briefly on Tuesday night (June 4) but then began to grow concerned when she didn't hear from him for a few days.
"I sent him a couple of text messages and a picture. I just figured he was either in California because he was planning to go there before Cancun," she told the detective.
