In February 1977, Chicago police were left baffled by the brutal murder of a middle-aged healthcare worker. Teresita Basa, a respiratory therapist at Edgewater Hospital, had been found naked, stabbed in the chest with a butcher's knife, set alight and left under a burning mattress in her 15th floor apartment.

Police interviewed family and friends, but came up with no leads as to who might have wanted to kill Basa, a quiet, well-educated, music-loving woman who'd moved to the US from the Philippines more than a decade earlier. One of the few clues was a note in her diary reading, "Get tickets for A.S."

Six months into the police investigation, it looked like the case might never be solved. And then came a tip – but it was a strange one.
