In February 1977, Teresita Basa, a 48-year-old Philippine-born respiratory therapist working at Edgewater Hospital in Chicago, was murdered. And almost immediately after it happened, the case went cold.
Then, six months into a stalled investigation, detectives received a tip: a fellow Filipino co-worker, Remibias “Remy” Chua, suddenly began speaking in the native Tagalog language, a tongue she rarely used, but this time in a voice she claimed was that of Basa’s dead spirit.
