Ep. 138-Keisha Garie

It was a quiet Monday afternoon in Burnaby, British Columbia, when police were called to a residential street near Alpha Secondary School. A passerby had noticed a parked vehicle and looked inside — making a discovery that would devastate two families and spark a complex investigation.

The bodies of 31-year-old Keisha Garie and 30-year-old Umair Kasim of Coquitlam were found inside that vehicle. They had been reported missing only days earlier. Within hours, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took over, working to retrace their final movements and uncover what led to the tragic events of October 17, 2022.

This episode covers the double homicide of Keisha Garie and Umair Kasim and features an interview with Keisha’s mother, Christine Angelis, who shares her daughter’s story and her ongoing fight for justice.

Today, family and friends of Chelsey Lea Gauthier, a 22-year-old Abbotsford mom brutally killed in 2017, gathered at court to read heartfelt victim-impact statements. Her father said: “When Chelsey died, a part of me died.”

Gary Donald Losch — the man accused — now 70 years old, was convicted on July 22, 2025: found not guilty of second-degree murder, but guilty of manslaughter and indignity to human remains.

Despite that conviction, Losch was released on bail pending sentencing, a decision that shocked many in Chelsey’s community.

Today (December 2, 2025), his sentencing hearing is underway as Chelsey’s loved ones fight for justice and accountability. 💔

Chelsey left behind two young daughters. Her friend and their current guardian described her as “one of those friends that only comes around once in a lifetime, always bubbly, always there when you needed her.”

We will continue to follow this case, honour Chelsey’s memory, and stand with families impacted by violence.
