***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.
