Teresita Basa: The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder.

from Hitched 2 Homicide · host Kris Calvert and Rob Pottorf

February 21, 1977. Firefighters race to a burning apartment on the 15th floor of a Chicago high-rise. Beneath a smoldering mattress and a pile of clothing, they discover the body of 48-year-old Teresita Basa, a respiratory therapist originally from the Philippines. A butcher knife remains lodged in her chest, and the fire appears to have been deliberately set to destroy the evidence. Police have no clear motive, no reliable witnesses, and almost nothing pointing them toward a suspect. For months, Teresita’s murder remains unsolved. Then something happens that defies explanation. A woman who worked at the same hospital begins slipping into strange trances. Speaking in a voice she claims belongs to Teresita, she names the man responsible for the murder—and reveals what he allegedly did with the jewelry stolen from Teresita’s apartment. Detectives are skeptical, but when they investigate the astonishing claims, they uncover evidence that leads them directly to a suspect. Was it a supernatural message from beyond the grave, a buried memory rising to the surface, or something else entirely? This is the bizarre and haunting true story of Teresita Basa—the woman who may have solved her own murder.   sources used for this podcast Support the show JOIN THE  HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS START KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREE Send Kris and Rob a Message or a Text H2H WEBSITE H2H on TWITTER H2H on INSTA     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
