There's. Been a few changes here the podcast
0:04
over the last few months. We. Think
0:06
the changes for the better now. Focus
0:08
for the last year has been on
0:10
helping Jason and Amanda Westbrook find out
0:12
what happened to their little eighty. That.
0:15
For us and for Jason,
0:17
Amanda does not changed. But.
0:19
Has changed is the name of
0:22
the show the I Work, and
0:24
also some of the names of
0:26
some of the episodes. You'll also
0:28
notice that we have removed some
0:30
content from some of the earlier
0:32
episodes. The. Important parts are
0:34
still very much the front and
0:36
center of this podcast. It's
0:39
also important to note that throughout all
0:41
of these changes, Jason and Amanda have
0:43
remained with this podcast and this project.
0:46
And we spoke on type last week to find
0:48
out what's been going on. In.
0:52
Regards to the trip to. Let's
0:55
head back to the shed in St.
0:57
Helens. The last few
0:59
months has been a reflective time for
1:01
Jason and Amanda. They. Got
1:03
the chance over Easter to spend time is
1:05
a full family with the kids and grandkids,
1:08
but it was also a sad time. Remembering.
1:11
The Lady. And. It reflected
1:13
on the couple a days
1:15
leading up towards and afterwards
1:17
real feeling kind to sad.
1:20
Knowing. Trauma that she
1:23
might have endured which is during
1:25
knowing Fool and. We.
1:27
My never night just an island say
1:29
it really hurts my. Special.
1:32
Seen as a couple were an
1:34
older children succeed in in whatever
1:36
it is that they have trying
1:38
to achieve on you know that
1:40
little hurdles that they may have
1:43
a so many? Julie's in our
1:45
family. that's just Simony Joys talking.
1:47
talking to Pontus partner last night
1:49
to see him off to Turkey
1:51
and we were laughing like in
1:54
stitches, laughing about silly things and
1:56
you know we really really value
1:58
then Then as P. Oh and
2:00
was so happy to have them
2:02
in. allies and disarming. Is legit
2:04
planned with plan to have
2:07
water and so we plan
2:09
to protect since. We plan to
2:11
raising the place to the mid century
2:13
claim to love them and we we
2:15
also plan to stay together. For.
2:18
A very long time and beyond.
2:20
And the one thing that we
2:22
didn't plan for his desk. Between
2:26
plans for that. So how do
2:28
you. Prepare yourself.
2:30
For a Southern Settles and
2:33
explained. If you have to bear,
2:35
it's trials. You.
2:41
There are some things that have
2:43
happened wall with not been releasing
2:45
episodes and one of those things
2:47
issues I'm no longer working with
2:49
your lawyer. Yeah. And
2:53
we won't go into detail on
2:55
while how because I don't think
2:57
we need to bid. Suffice to
2:59
say that your search for the
3:01
truce remain steadfast and strong and
3:03
then we'll be there to support
3:05
your that no, no, the audiences.
3:07
This podcast will also be there
3:09
to support that. It's
3:12
equally important, decide that you do
3:14
have a whole bunch of people
3:17
in your corner who are highly
3:19
intelligent. Highly. Well regarded
3:21
and people who at this
3:23
stage don't necessarily want to
3:25
be named bought out in
3:27
your corner fighting the fight,
3:30
Them. At all levels of both
3:32
governments and behind the scenes in
3:34
the legal system. And
3:37
to any journey and everybody
3:39
has literally message me and
3:41
you all know who you
3:44
are because it's really quite
3:46
frankly tried to respond to
3:48
everybody that message me to
3:50
any social media and I've
3:52
tried to do that promptly
3:55
and everybody's and message and
3:57
message of support has been
3:59
extremely. Support. Is a
4:01
ham and useful to a
4:03
tool for me to go
4:05
back on and reflect when
4:07
a on things happen like
4:10
no longer been able to
4:12
work with a lawyer s
4:14
a the events. That have
4:16
conspired and so. You
4:18
know these people. You know who you are.
4:21
I've I've responded to all of you and.
4:23
So we're good a couple of names or
4:25
for some of them cause we can't user
4:27
names as you know but I'm one of them
4:29
school the top paid on. On. That's
4:32

4:34

4:36
golden thread of society. On

4:43
him name without release sign who they
4:45

4:47
them together. And. To the other
4:50
people have been just as sit
4:52
a sensitive literally listen to the
4:54
podcast and supported. The podcast and
4:56
supported Jason and I threw. That.
4:58
Connects since as actually gives the same as a month
5:00
in our when we get us. A
5:03
message. From. Amanda on a social
5:05
media of support and that's and that's
5:07
all with everything and it's like mine
5:10
ever been. A negative. Message
5:12
sent to Amanda Boy anybody in a
5:14
strike or the world to see want
5:16
to continue to sports? I said Amanda
5:18
and they search for the truth. You
5:21

5:24
If you want to message them with support
5:26
or maybe even. Information. That
5:28
might help. You can email us
5:30
at what Happens eight and a
5:32
to email.com. One.
5:34
Of the other things that Jason amanda
5:36
have been waiting for his access to
5:39
the Coroner's report. With. Their own independent
5:41
doctor to examine it is something have
5:43
never had the chance to do before.
5:46
you have seen the coroner's report you
5:48
have been serviced with that i know
5:50
that there are a whole bunch of
5:52
different files in that and when not
5:54
allowed to at this stage talk about
5:56
those and what you say which which
5:58
were gonna respect But what
6:00
I can talk about and what I will ask
6:03
is that there, you know, the
6:05
statement from the coroner of Tasmania is
6:07
very clear to say that you aren't
6:09
to republish or talk about anything that
6:11
you've seen, which is
6:13
fine and we understand that. What
6:16
I do know from our conversation is
6:18
that out of all of the information
6:20
that you've seen in those documents, there
6:23
was something missing, which
6:26
is sort of which you can talk about
6:28
because it's not part of the report that
6:30
you've seen. What
6:32
is missing? The
6:37
autopsy photographs. Okay,
6:39
so these are the photos of Eden, which
6:42
would be horrifying to look at. Of
6:44
course, the men I do not want
6:46
to see but they were to be
6:48
given to the pathologist Dr Richard Byron
6:50
Collins and in all
6:52
the files that were given to
6:54
him, they were not provided even
6:57
though we wrote specifically asking
6:59
for those to be provided to Dr
7:02
Richard Byron Collins.
7:05
I would imagine a file with
7:07
all of the information stays in
7:09
one place generally, like if it
7:12
works a little more seriously than
7:14
that, mate. Okay,
7:17
so when we didn't get,
7:19
we did get scene
7:22
photos, which was a
7:24
crime scene photo, which was an A4
7:27
and completely inadequate. I'm
7:29
not saying anything was in it, but I'm just
7:31
saying what wasn't in it. And
7:36
then in regards
7:38
to, we had to sign a
7:40
document to say that we weren't going to discuss it. I
7:44
had to strongly think
7:46
about why things were
7:48
like they were, what was missing
7:52
in the paperwork for her to
7:54
reopen this for an inquiry. And
7:57
Then so I thought, okay, let me follow. The
8:00
type of work and it
8:02
went from went from head
8:04
to the northern office and
8:07
that was sent to pull.
8:09
Reynolds for. Myself and Jason's
8:11
viewing at this stage pulled in
8:13
contact us that it has actually
8:15
arrived with a deed and in
8:17
fact he contacted us three months
8:19
later and said i have the
8:21
Coroner's report he at my office
8:23
would you like from and view
8:25
it and Jenny Scott had already
8:28
sent me an email to say
8:30
that she had sent it when
8:32
she'd center it So I was
8:34
like in the view that this
8:36
has been floating around your office
8:38
or three months that is a
8:40
be annoying. And how come
8:42
you didn't prompts this conversation earlier
8:44
because we didn't have facilities to
8:46
read? Ah, a mouth at that
8:49
time. So. Just to be
8:51
clear, what you've been able to do is
8:53
follow the paper trail of where it started
8:55
and where wins and then where it landed.
8:57
Class Questions: You might not have the photos
8:59
but was there. Was
9:02
the the report from the photos? My
9:07
with was actually had to have
9:10
a psychological clearance. I did. Before.
9:12
I received this a lot of
9:15
poets. I'm donna, right? Yes. And.
9:17
Am we had to sign a document with
9:19
it? Sounds? Share this now. Look tag
9:21
on often lead sizes, saddam or had to sign
9:23
a document where I could not speak about what
9:26
I was better rate in Aden Small What? sort
9:28
of small. On. I.
9:30
Understand why that I won't make speaking
9:33
about it because on why to Geico
9:35
and I was I ask why so
9:37
many questions that my upset people because.
9:41
When I read it or time you
9:43
understand why I have a clue about.
9:46
Given. The documents that Jason, Amanda
9:48
signed. Just. To be idled have
9:50
access to the car Support about what
9:52
happened to their daughter. We've decided not
9:54
supply the next part about sat with
9:56
them. However, the Ivy view is that
9:59
one thing missing. Honda Cars report
10:01
is the photo of the autopsy
10:03
of Aden is pretty obvious why
10:05
these would be important. They could
10:07
show the allegations you heard some
10:10
hunter about the bruising on the
10:12
size and the broken piece of
10:14
Aden It might said marks in
10:16
the course of this and it
10:18
might allow an independent experts good
10:20
says you on some adjacent Amanda's
10:23
concerns. I.
10:28
Wanted to take the sex with someone that has
10:30
experience in the stop seeing. The. Question
10:32
I wanted to know is does
10:35
the cars caught normally have autopsy
10:37
photos as part of the file
10:39
I checked him without x Police
10:41
Detective Inspector Craig Lamy. Greg.
10:44
How young. To take
10:46
steaks and saw a got a couple of
10:49
questions. The good news is that just in
10:51
the man to have been able to see
10:53
the current as file. Which
10:56
is great news on the corner
10:58
as he quits spoken before that
11:00
the corner had damn told them
11:02
they can't talk about what I
11:04
find in the fall which we
11:06
sound unusual. Darkest and question is
11:08
that when the family got soon
11:10
as you and the file what
11:12
was missing was the was the
11:14
autopsy photos is. Is.
11:17
It unusual for autopsy photos not to
11:19
be sitting in the same fall of
11:22
the cars office. Who. Little
11:24
really interesting Christian time. I can't
11:26
say well a in early absences
11:28
from southern extermination of it Well
11:30
and they could be it a
11:32
legitimate reason why they didn't put
11:34
why they're proposing minute I know
11:36
better. Over the
11:38
years and read I would the and
11:40
eight based on of that the evidence
11:42
that the Conus has with the reasons
11:44
why they haven't said or my that
11:46
around book to create your medical. Doctor.
11:50
To year is and so so easy
11:52
were doing air if you it it
11:54
out of at at at a current
11:56
as level would everything normally be kept.
11:59
in the place? Yeah,
12:03
the coroner would have the full brief of evidence and
12:06
all the evidence including the autopsy fat out, all
12:08
the reports, everything. I
12:10
wouldn't imagine that the coroner wouldn't have
12:12
it at this stage of the proceeding
12:14
that the coroner would definitely have everything. I
12:17
think I can't see any
12:19
reason why they wouldn't have those fat outs because
12:21
they're obviously pretty important in terms of the medical
12:24
evidence. I wouldn't imagine that they would
12:26
be sent on by themselves
12:28
for instance. They would be forwarded
12:30
with a file. It wouldn't
12:32
be like here's the autopsy photos and we'll
12:34
keep the file. You would
12:37
imagine that... No, I wouldn't
12:39
think such a... I think they'd all be in
12:41
the same file, whatever that file looks like. I
12:43
mean, I haven't seen it across but I imagine
12:45
that a voluminous amount of sort
12:47
of evidence including reports and
12:49
statements and all the photos should be in
12:52
the company with
12:54
whatever the pathologist report said. I
12:57
assume they've
12:59
showed the doctor the report from
13:01
the pathologist who did the autopsy, haven't
13:03
they? Yeah, I believe so. So what we're
13:05
not able to know is what was in
13:07
the files, what we can know is what
13:09
wasn't in the files and what wasn't in
13:11
the files is your autopsy photo. Okay,
13:15
so they're saying they've lost them. They haven't
13:18
said they've lost them. They just said that they're
13:21
not with them at the moment and they're trying
13:23
to track them down. Okay,
13:25
okay. That may be the case. I
13:27
think it would be unusual after all
13:29
this time. Over
13:31
the past few months, we've been continuing
13:33
to chat with Jason and Amanda on
13:35
messages and phone calls. There's been a
13:37
fair bit going on. In one of
13:39
those message exchanges, they sent over some
13:41
photos. These photos
13:43
were amazing. They were
13:46
AI generated photos of what Eden would
13:48
look like right now as
13:50
a 24-year-old young woman. Those
13:53
photos, incredible. Yeah,
13:55
Hunter sent them to us
13:57
and she sent them to the group chat. The children have a
13:59
secret. We got a break jets and
14:02
is you don't know I did not
14:04
even oldest is gonna end she put
14:06
him through the sibling chat and abroad
14:09
a cup of into tea is because
14:11
they're all in their twenties all actually
14:13
Tony's i don't to send I day
14:15
last week so even in nice fight
14:18
eyes was I'm obviously intelligence. I'd said
14:20
my kids twenty four. And
14:22
what she would lead to die.
14:25
And that was incredible because the
14:27
resemblance to just stay overpopulate to
14:29
just saying to Hunter to slide.
14:32
Saying. A even at that age they
14:34
are that I have their uses that
14:36
see how beautiful sat in I saw
14:38
a year we was passed by that
14:41
jain really touched and they the know
14:43
It was a little upsetting at first.
14:47
It was It was pretty accurate we feel
14:49
on him and what even with look like
14:51
and there's another fight on I used to
14:53
shut your neighbor is one of her Ivor
14:55
podium and she's speaking work in a public
14:58
event we are adding wonder what didn't would
15:00
be to enjoy. You know,
15:02
Jason and I've always been. relatively.
15:05
Constant in his parents with each
15:07
of these lay down at South
15:09
in a large capacity. With the
15:11
death of Aden and he flew
15:13
going to be able to get
15:15
three days and with each other
15:17
and the way or the children
15:19
of the sling we all sell
15:21
a parts. Into pieces and
15:24
we've literally slowly remembered
15:26
what was. Good to last
15:28
and. In. Such to. Ah
15:31
we we got to get some
15:33
footage that we sound and. A
15:36
number of discs. At Silver
15:38
and black them together in a
15:40
some drive and. We
15:42
got to reminisce on some of the family
15:44
events from. Twenty ten to twenty four.
15:46
The enjoy we got on. New
15:49
Years of Forties and and now we can!
15:51
We got him on our computer and we've
15:53
got. We've. Got so much video
15:55
of the kids and it's brilliant! My you
15:57
know it's everything from wake boarding, fish, cray
16:00
fishing, surfing, just the life we
16:03
gave the children and when Channel
16:05
9 got it we almost
16:08
were able to adopt a couple of the staff
16:10
because they wanted to be part of our family
16:12
just because of the fun we did get to
16:14
have with our children. But what it did, it
16:16
reinforced who
16:18
we were and it reminded us
16:20
of who we were as parents,
16:22
who were as people and
16:25
the doubt really started to
16:27
dissolve like an aspirin in
16:29
water and we started to
16:32
remember the fun part
16:34
of our lives, of what we
16:36
promised to each other and our
16:38
children and that didn't diminish
16:41
my silent promise to Eden
16:43
at birth to
16:45
protect and nurture her even
16:48
in death. That
16:50
doesn't go away. It will never
16:52
go away but everybody's really
16:55
pulled together and we're back. There's
17:07
one other question I want to talk to you about and we're
17:09
not going to mention any names here. There
17:11
is a piece of information that we have and
17:13
you have as well and
17:16
also some of the anonymous people that
17:18
we've not mentioned around
17:20
a particular piece of
17:22
information that we found interesting that
17:25
happened in St Helens shortly after
17:27
Eden passed. Yeah,
17:32
definitely a line of inquiry that the
17:34
police failed on without a doubt and
17:36
if they'd have done the line of
17:38
inquiry back then we've currently
17:40
got two people of interest that you're aware
17:42
of and we've kept them very quiet and
17:45
we don't mention their names. We have only
17:47
one of them at the scene. Yeah,
17:49
and in all the
17:52
statements that I have
17:54
now read, the second
17:56
person's Name is not in
17:58
there. Now
18:00
that is a fist of perhaps in
18:02
Tucson can be wrong and there's definitely
18:05
a lot of inquiry that the place
18:07
should have looked at back then. I'm
18:09
here on just sans serif. It's a
18:11
path I'm ready to go down until
18:14
I get some more evidence because again
18:16
in the last statement, there is no
18:18
arm name of that person's in any
18:20
that were these are the names mentioned.
18:24
That same and some adjacent in a man
18:26
is anonymous. Friends are following up on some
18:28
of the allegations which I soon Amanda talked
18:31
about in last few minutes. When
18:35
I can say is essentially some unusual
18:37
similarities that may or may not be
18:40
connect soon as we can bring something
18:42
to you we will. In
18:47
the next episode of Allah Lady we're
18:50
going to speak to the tasmanian he
