Staged Crime Scene Misled Investigators
- The murder scene was staged to look like a sexual assault but autopsy showed Teresita Bassa had never had sex and died from a knife to the chest.
- Detectives found a burned mattress over her body and no signs of robbery, making the arson an evidence-destruction tactic.
Phone Calls Pinpoint Narrow Time Window
- Teresita spoke on the phone with colleagues the night she died and mentioned a male visitor, narrowing her last-known-alive time to about seven fifty p.m.
- Doctor John Abala phoned at 7:10 p.m. and Ruth spoke with her between 7:30–7:50 p.m., leaving a tight window before the 8:40 p.m. fire call.
Possession Tip From Chua Family Led Investigation
- A suburban surgeon, Dr. Jose Chua, reported his wife Remi began speaking in Teresita's voice claiming Teresita had been murdered and naming a killer.
- The voice identified Allan Showery and described stolen jewelry and potential identifiers and witnesses, prompting police follow-up.
