At 9 pm on the evening of February 21st, 1977 firefighters were called to an apartment in Chicago Illinois. Inside the apartment they would find a body hidden under the burning mattress. The lifeless woman was naked, a butcher knife still sticking out of her chest.

Detectives were baffled by the murder of the Teresita Basa- a respiratory therapist- who had no known enemies.  There was no evidence and the case could have immediately went cold- until detectives would receive a strange phone call- and a claim that the people on the other end knew who the killer was because Teresita Basa told them- from beyond the grave.
