Bree Gamble was known for her passion, fearlessness, and vibrant energy—a woman who seemed to live life in full colour until her tragic murder in 2021. The daughter of acclaimed Colombian filmmaker Jorge Lozano, Bree carried her Latin roots and artistic identity through everything she did. Central to her story is the rumbero spirit—a distinctly Colombian way of embracing joy and music even amid hardship. In this episode, I explore how that spirit shaped Bree — and how her early experiences and her culture influenced the choices she made in the time leading up to her murder.Thank you to Bree's father, Jorge Lozano, for permitting the use of the sound from his film 'The Tampon Thieves' in this episode. Jorge's films can be viewed here: <a href="https://vimeo.com/jorgelozano" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/jorgelozano</a>Thank you to Bree's musical collaborators, Willem Weiss and Don Vaillancourt, for allowing me to use songs they created with Bree in the series.&nbsp;'Shake it for me, Baby' is the theme song for Season 8. You can hear the song in its entirety on Willem's <a href="https://on.soundcloud.com/WNDyQM819G26eAyP9Y" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SoundCloud account</a>.Bree's vocals on 'Wash Me Away' appear in this episode.

The messages help inform Bree's victimology and allow Bree herself to play a more direct role in the series. I've included Bree's words at the start of episodes 2-7. Episode 4 includes a voicemail her friend Don saved. I used a cloned voice created by ElevenLabs for the other messages. This was a decision made in consultation with Bree's former partner, Steve and his daughter, Meleya.If you have information, please get in touch with the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit at 250-380-6211.
