What Came Next

Content warning: gun violence, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, officer-involved domestic violence, and murder.
As shared in part one of his story, Bruce Bieber is a retiree from New York who had an illustrious career in commercial construction. However, after retiring and moving to Florida to live minutes away from his three adult children, Bruce and his family would experience a horrific heartache: the murder of Bruce’s beloved daughter, Abby, on January 29th, 2022. Since Abby’s life was stolen, Bruce has made it his mission to bring awareness to OIDV, or officer-involved domestic violence. The Broken Cycle Media team is incredibly grateful Bruce was willing to share his resiliency, strength, and love for Abby, as well as his continued mission built from advocacy. This episode is dedicated in loving memory of Abigail Rose Bieber.
