ex-girlfriend shortly before he killed Reeva Steenkamp, it emerged
today.
The Olympian called Jenna Edkins, who was stored in his mobile under
the name "Babyshoes".
The new evidence was uncovered by South African journalists and will
shortly be revealed in a new book.
Police did not discover the information.
Mobile phone data showed Pistorius was on the phone when he arrived
home that evening.
Further investigations have revealed that the number was used by
Edkins but had been registered in her father's name.
It appears police investigators did not make this connection.
Jenna was never questioned by the authorities and she never gave them
a statement.
The prosecution has declined to comment on how this potential piece of
evidence was missed.
The defence has also not responded to questions.
This development is contained in Behind the Door - a new book about
the trial, authored by reporters Barry Bateman and Mandy Wiener.
Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicidefor the Valentine's Day
shooting last month and will be sentenced on 13 October.
