Do The Dead Really Speak? — The Case Of Teresita Basa
In 1977, the case of a woman who solved her own murder made headlines all around the world and left many people in disbelief and wondering, what really happens after we die?
Born in 1929 in the Philippines, Teresita Basa was the only child of a prominent and successful business couple Pedro Basa and his wife, Soccoro Basa (born Martinez). In early 1960, she graduated from the University of Assumption, Manila and then migrated to the United States to study music.
However, as she grew older, her passion for music shifted a bit, and she decided to study the human body and work as a respiratory therapist.
By 1977, she was living her best life in Chicago and worked at Edgewater hospital. Colleagues described her as quiet, intelligent and unassuming — one person you wouldn't expect to be a victim of a violent crime. However, on February 21st that same year, she would be found dead in her home with a single stab wound to the chest, and her murder would remain unsolved for some time until she solved it herself.
