One early morning in February 1977, the Chicago fire department responded to a call reporting billowing smoke coming from one of the units at the Pine Grove Avenue apartments. After putting out the flames, they discovered that this was much more than a simple fire - it was a crime scene. Inside the smokey apartment, they found the body of Teresita Basa, a middle-aged healthcare worker originally from the Philippines. She had been stabbed to death, and still had the butcher knife lodged in her chest. When police searched the apartment for any clues as to who may have done this to Teresita - they found only one: a note that read, “Get theater tickets for A.S.” Beyond that, there wasn’t really any evidence left behind and her murder went unsolved for months. That is - until they received a call from a man who claimed to know the name of the killer. How did he know? He said his wife had gone into a trance while taking a nap, she began to speak in a strange voice, identifying herself as the victim Teresita - and naming her killer as a man named Allan Showery. As you can imagine, initially the police were skeptical - but when they began to investigate Allan Teresita’s killer, things began to line up.  Did Teresita Basa solve her own murder from beyond the grave?
