Absolutely nothing new… same talking points and comments over and over come on. Really milking it.

This podcast is so well done, really honing in on the family and their experience throughout this horrible aftermath. The podcast stands out in portraying the family culture, Eden’s background and upbringing, their appalling interactions in this town (they all sound like classist, bullying jerks). I am disgusted by the job performance of the police…and it’s not unusual. There are so many Australian podcasts (What Happened to Amy, The Teacher’s Pet, Shandee’s Story, etc) of missing and murdered people where the efforts of the police, coroners and DDP are unacceptable, problematic and even active barriers to justice/borderline corrupt and illegal. Is it just incompetence, corruption or are they lazy? Or is it that they are so desperate for resources that they can’t properly investigate these cases and citizens they are sworn in to protect? There is no acceptable excuse for a their unwillingness to seek answers to obvious questions, to the complete lack of accountability when their failures are pointed out to them, and for such a huge miscarriage of justice. I am grateful for podcasters and journalists doing the work to highlight systemic issues in the Australian government and the injustices and disrespect these families are facing in addition to the tremendous grief they are dealing with.

I liked this podcast a lot. I even wept for poor Eden. A compelling, intriguing and heartbreaking podcast.

I wish people would listen to an entire season of a reporting podcast before assuming what happened and wrote a bad review. This podcast was fascinating. And I absolutely do not believe Eden took her own life. I’m in the US and this is the second true crime reporting podcast I’ve listened to that takes place in Australia (the first was teachers pet). I find it fascinating how many pedos are around in high positions and the cover up culture there seems to be. The Westbrooks are incredibly strong people and it brings me so much amazement what this podcast has done to bring awareness to Eden’s case

These parents level of denial is hard to listen to, and really sad. It’s an obvious suicide, and they cannot and will not accept it. On the other side of things, the negligence, and despicable behavior of the police should be punished severely. What disgusting human beings.

Had this been a podcast researching why she committed suicide it would have been much more interesting. This murder conspiracy, is just stupid, based on rumor and exaggerated theories, in fact the parents and host provide loads of evidence for why it was suicide. Examples, in the beginning they talk about how she was an amazing athlete, and was a skilled tree climber, but then later in the series the parents say, that there is no way she could climb a tree with a heavy rope. Then the dad and mom describe for basically an entire episode how the cops timeline of events is off, but basically just talk in circles and provide meaningless contradictory statements that don’t in anyway suggest she must of been murdered. I get the parents are hurting and they don’t want to admit that maybe their child was just mentally unwell, and that the parents lifestyle and choices may have contributed to this. Shame on the host for enabling and profiting off this. Trash podcast, don’t waste your time.

I don’t think she killed herself!!!

The audio is terrible at a lot of time.

Wow! And we think our Civil Servants are Bad in the U.S. This Podcast will bring every emotion out of even the toughest of People!

Some of the worst investigative journalism I’ve ever come across. At no point are we presented with any credible evidence that this was anything other than a suicide. In fact, we are, perhaps inadvertently, presented with heaps of evidence that this poor child was deeply hurting, and her parents were brushing off her pain. Appallingly bad, and frankly unethical, reporting

Good but repetitive and drags a bit

Who’s going to be the next suspect Bigfoot?

So well done and so heart wrenching. Prayers for all of you and for answers. Such a wonderful family and terrible tragedy.

The daughter of oblivious parents’ kills herself and the cops respond with horrific negligence. Great podcaster does a great job with what he has, but the parents’ willful ignorance/denial make this poor girls’ story incredibly difficult to listen to. They seem to be completely oblivious to the realities of their children’s lives, despite teenage pregnancies and talks of suicide. The police leave a teenage girl hanging in a tree for most of a day and no one is held responsible. Eden had trusted a teenage boy with nude pictures, which he shows to most of the small town. She’s distraught but not taken seriously. Who is he? Who knows. No one seems to care about her fear, humiliation and broken trust after these very private images are shared without her consent. Is revenge porn not a crime in Australia? Maybe someone helped her kill herself - maybe she was adrenaline driven in despair and killed herself? Maybe there’s a suicide pact? It’s a good listen.

Cremated the phone ??

Another Australian denial of a suicide/let’s blame the cops podcast.

Love this podcast !! Very well done and the host is respectful and knowledgeable ! The family is in such denial about what happened to Eden though and it drives me crazy.
