The Pattern Reveals Itself
Notas del episodio
In this episode, we hear how Paul Reynolds embedded himself inside Launceston’s youth car scene befriending young men, adding them on Facebook, and slowly shifting from friendly banter to explicit messages. Through Mike, a former friend who has never spoken publicly until now, we trace Reynolds’ grooming pattern step-by-step exactly as later exposed in the Weiss Report. As Mike remembers the late-night visits, the boundary-testing conversations, and the uneasy comments dismissed as “just banter,” the episode reveals how a senior police officer managed to present himself as a mate, a mentor, and a hero all while hiding a far darker intent.
