Thanks for listening to Our Little Edey, regular listeners will know the background of Paul Reynolds the disgraced cop who helped investigate Eden's death. 

Many of you have asked if we could share more of the show in this feed some over the next few weeks we will share the most relevant to the Eden Westbrook story. To hear all the episodes you can follow the show on the app your listening to now - its called Badge of Betrayal  

In this episode, we hear from a current serving Tasmanian police officer a man who spent nearly his entire career working alongside Reynolds. Using a voice actor to protect his identity, he describes Reynolds as he knew him: the outgoing, blokey colleague who could charm a room of young men, the officer who became increasingly absent as he climbed the ranks, and the man whose behaviour now looks disturbingly like grooming hiding in plain sight.

He also walks us into the world of Ashley Youth Detention Centre  the blind spots, the “cowboy” culture, the friendships between staff and Reynolds, and why he believes it is almost impossible that Reynolds never accessed the centre or its vulnerable boys.

Alongside testimony from a whistleblower who worked inside Ashley, this chapter exposes the overlap between policing, youth detention, and community institutions that enabled Reynolds to move freely for decades. It raises the questions no one has been able to answer: who knew what, who looked away, and why so many of Reynolds’ behaviors were minimised or ignored.

***This episode contains strong language and discusses themes that may be confronting for some listeners.We’ve chosen to include these moments as they were said, because they reflect the raw emotion and reality of what this family has experienced.”

It’s been more than a decade since Eden’s death but for her family, nothing about this has settled.

In this episode, we return to Jason and Amanda as they open up about where things stand today  from building a new home with their own hands, to the ongoing toll of rumours, online attacks, and a community that remains deeply divided.

You’ll hear the anger that still sits just beneath the surface… frustration at misinformation, at people questioning their story, and at a system they believe still hasn’t delivered answers.

At the same time, there are moments of strength of rebuilding, of family, and of a refusal to be silenced after all these years.

This is a raw and unfiltered conversation about what it’s like to keep going… when the truth still feels out of reach.

In the final episode of 2025, we speak with Jason and Amanda about the devastating fire that tore through St Helens and the surrounding East Coast, threatening homes, livelihoods, and a community already carrying deep scars.

Jason and Amanda reflect on the recent passing of Eden’s Law, the weight of grief that continues to shape their family, and the renewed push for answers surrounding Eden’s death.

We also address new allegations concerning Paul Reynolds, which have emerged following the release of the podcast Badge of Betrayal — allegations that raise serious questions about historical conduct, oversight, and why Eden’s case remains unresolved more than a decade on.
