On July 21, Jorgenson’s daughter, 43-year-old Amber Culley, was shot and killed by Eric Shestalo inside a Chilliwack home.  Mimi Kates, 49, was also killed and Culley’s brother Aaron was shot but survived.
“It’s horrible to think we’re never going to see her again. I just can’t believe it yet,” Jorgenson told CTV News.
On July 22, Shestalo’s red Jeep YJ was found in the Bridal Falls area, east of Chilliwack.  On July 25, Shestalo’s body was found.  Police say it appears he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Jorgenson says Shestalo was her daughter’s ex-partner.
“No one in our family liked him and we tried desperately to keep him away from her,” Jorgenson said.
Jorgenson said Culley had a restraining order against Shestalo, who was supposed to be in court the same day as the murders to face multiple charges of assault and threats of bodily harm.
“This was a man who should have been removed 20 years ago,” he said.
Jorgenson said her daughter was not the first woman to have problems with Shestalo.
“A lot of them have contacted us (with) the same kind of horror stories, they didn’t quite make it,” he said.
Jorgenson said she would now like to see more support and awareness about violence against women.
“This predatory type of behavior that is overwhelming for these women, they live with this fear, but they don’t know how to really reach out and tell other people,” she said.
“As a community, we need to come together and create more for these women to have safety and counseling before this happens.”
Culley’s two sons – 12-year-old Dante and nine-year-old Magnus – were home at the time of the shooting and witnessed much of the incident.
“They’ve had so much trauma in their lives,” Jorgenson said.
He says the boys’ father also died three years ago from a medical emergency.
Despite the severe hardships, Jorgenson says they have remained very strong.
“They’re really focused on her (Amber) presence,” he said.
The family has set up an online trust fund for the boys, hoping others will help them build for the future.
“I just want them to have a chance,” Jorgenson said.
Dante and Magnus now live with Jorgenson and her husband in Parksville, BC
