Eden's Law

Here is a sneak peek of the new show about Paul Reynolds, the cop who had his name all over the Eden Westbrook case. If you want to hear more, follow Badge of Betrayal on your favourite podcast app.  Senior Sergeant Paul Reynolds was a familiar face in Tasmanian policing, a mentor, a coach, and a man people trusted. But on a quiet night in Westbury, everything shifted. Just hours after celebrating his wedding anniversary, four officers from Professional Standards knocked on his door with a warrant to seize his devices. The allegation: Reynolds was a pedophile. In this first episode, we unravel the final 24 hours of a highly decorated cop whose name later surfaced in the Weiste Inquiry, the coronial inquest, and the investigation into the death of 15-year-old Eden Westbrook. From whistleblowers to former colleagues who once admired him, the picture that emerges is darker than anyone imagined. This is the moment the cracks appear the night a respected officer became the centre of one of Tasmania’s most disturbing hidden histories. And as we dig, it becomes clear: what looked like the end of the story was only the beginning. If you’d like to hear episodes ad-free and early, subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts.

In Our Little Edey, you’ve heard about disgraced former police officer Paul Reynolds, who took his own life while under investigation for grooming and child sexual offences. For almost three years, we’ve believed there was much more that needed to be examined, not only in how he handled this case, but across his nearly forty-year career with Tasmania Police. In this exclusive sneak peek, made especially for listeners of Our Little Edey, we reveal details of our new investigation  and how you can be among the first to hear what we uncover next.

If you listen to Our Little Edey, Jay and the team at Podshape have a new investigative podcast about the death of an 18-year-old boy.  Kane Moore was a classic North Queensland larrikin—goofy, big-hearted, and outdoorsy. He grew up by the river, loved his motorbike, doted on the family’s German shepherd Poppy, and wore the kind of haircut that got him in strife at school. He lived with his dad and sister just minutes from Rupertswood Park, where he and his mates often hung out. Then, in April 2023, Kane’s aunt Katie and his sister walked into that same park and found him lying on the grass, gone. What follows are the frantic calls, the first statements, and the question that won’t let his family go: if this was a tragic mistake, why has no one come forward? Please follow the show on your favorite podcast app or search Moore to the Story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
