NgoFebhuwari 1977, i Idolobha laseChicago lasala lithukile futhi edidwe ukubulawa ngesihluku kukaTeresita Basa, umsebenzi wezempilo othule nozinikele. Icala lalibonakala lihlelelwe ukuthi lihlale lingaxazululiwe kuze kube ukuphenduka okuyisimanga kuveza uchungechunge lwe izenzakalo ezingaphezu kwemvelo lokho kungagcina kuholele ekuhlonzweni nasekugwetshweni kombulali. Indaba kaTeresita Basa ingeyokufiphaza imigqa phakathi kweqiniso kanye ne-paranormal, kusishiya nombono. imfihlakalo engaxazululeki esaqhubeka nokuthakasela kuze kube namuhla.
Impilo kaTeresita Basa
UTeresita Basa wazalelwa ePhilippines ngo-1929 futhi waphila impilo emnandi njengokuphela kwengane yommeli ophumelelayo nomkakhe. Ngemva kokuphothula izifundo zakhe e- I-Assumption College eManila, waqala uhambo oluya e-United States ephishekela uthando lwakhe lomculo.

Ukubulala okudabukisayo
Ngobusuku buka-February 21, 1977, kwagadla inhlekelele. U-Ruth Loeb, umngane futhi asebenza naye esibhedlela, ukhulume noBasa ocingweni cishe imizuzu engama-20, ngabo-7:30 PM. UBasa uveze ukuthi ubelindele isivakashi sowesilisa kodwa akazange akhiphe eminye imininingwane. Kamuva ngalobo busuku, omakhelwane bezwa iphunga lentuthu futhi babikela iziphathimandla. Abezicishamlilo bafike efulethini likaBasa ku-N. Pine Grove Avenue bathola umlilo usaqhubeka.
Njengoba becisha ilangabi, benza a ukutholwa okuthusayo. Ngaphansi komatilasi ovuthayo, bathole isidumbu sikaTeresita Basa esifile. Ugwazwe ngesihluku esifubeni ngommese webhula wasala enqunu endaweni yesigameko. I ubugebengu obubi uthuse umphakathi washiya abaseshi befuna izimpendulo.
Uphenyo: Inothi elingaqondakali
Izigaba zokuqala zophenyo zihlangabezane nokudinwa njengoba amaphoyisa edonsa kanzima ukuthola umkhondo. Umndeni nabangane kwaxoxwa nabo, kodwa akukho lwazi olubalulekile oluvelile. Kodwa-ke, umkhondo owagqama phakathi kwalezi zinxushunxushu - inothi elitholakala encwadini yezenzakalo zeBasa elithi, “Thola amathikithi e-AS” Incazelo yalawa ma-initials ayimfihlakalo isalokhu iyimpicabadala, kodwa abaphenyi babenethemba lokuthi inganikeza intuthuko kuleli cala.
Ukusonteka okungaphezu kwemvelo
Ezinyangeni eziyisithupha kuphenywa, kwafika iseluleko esasizoshintsha unaphakade ukuqhubeka kwecala. UDkt. Jose Chua, udokotela ohlinzayo, waya emaphoyiseni nesicelo esingavamile. Uveze ukuthi unkosikazi wakhe, uRemy Chua, naye ongudokotela wokuphefumula esibhedlela i-Edgewater, uke wangenwa umoya weTeresita Basa izikhathi eziningi.
Ngokusho kukaDkt. Chua, phakathi nalezi ziqephu, umkakhe wayengena esimweni esifana nesengqondo futhi akhulume isiTagalog, ulimi lwendabuko lwaseBasa. Umoya weBasa kuthiwa ucele usizo waveza ukuthi umbulali wakhe usagcwele amathafa. Ekuqaleni engabaza ukubandakanya iziphathimandla, uDkt. Chua nomkakhe bagcina benqume ukuphumela obala, bekholelwa ukuthi kwakuwumsebenzi wabo ukufunela iBasa ubulungiswa.
Izwi elivela ethuneni
Izinsolo zokuthi u-Chua ungowakwa-Teresita Basa zenza u-Detective Joseph Stachula nozakwabo, u-Lee R. Epplen, bazibuza. Babone ithuba lokuhlola indlela engajwayelekile ekuphishekeleni kwabo ubulungisa. Isimo sengqondo sikaNkk. Chua esifana nesakhe nekhono lokukhuluma ngezwi leBasa kwanikeza ithuba eliyingqayizivele lokuqoqa ulwazi mayelana nobugebengu.
Kwesinye salezi ziqephu, uNkk Chua udalule ukuthi igama lombulali wakhe kwakungu-Allan Showery, obehlelekile nosebenza esibhedlela i-Edgewater. Uphinde wadalula ukuthi uShower webe ubucwebe bukaBasa wabunikeza intombi yakhe. Lezi zindaba, ezazingaziwa amaphoyisa ngaleso sikhathi, zengeza ukwethenjwa kwezimangalo zikaChua.
Iqiniso lembuliwe
U-Detective Stachula uphenye ngemvelaphi kaShower wathola ukuthi ubehlala eduze neBasa. Ozakwabo bakuqinisekisile ukuthi uShower ubehlele ukuvakashela efulethini likaBasa ngalobo busuku benhlekelele ukuze alungise umabonakude wakhe. Ehlome ngalolu lwazi, uStachula waletha uShower ukuze amphenye ngemibuzo.
Eqala ephika ukuthi uyathinteka, uShower wagcina elivumile icala lokubulala uTeresita Basa. Uvumile ukuthi ungene endlini yakhe ngenhloso yokumkhuthuza. Ngesenzo sodlame esishaqisayo, wamhlasela ngemuva, wamkhumula ukuze enze ubugebengu bocansi, wabe eseshisa umatilasi wakhe ukuze afihle ubufakazi.
Ukuqulwa kwecala nokugwetshwa
Icala lika-Allan Showery, elathathwa njengelithi “Izwi Elivela Esivivinyweni Esethuneni,” ladonsa ukunaka komphakathi. Ngesikhathi kuqhubeka ukuqulwa kwamacala, ummeli kammangalelwa uzame ukudicilela phansi izinsolo zokutholakala kwakhe, ephakamisa ukuthi uNkz. Chua waqamba amanga ngenxa yokuphuma kwakhe esibhedlela. Nokho ubufakazi obethulwe ngoShower, okuhlanganisa nobucwebe obuntshontshiwe obutholakala kuyena, bukhulu kakhulu.
Yize eqale waliphika icala, uShowery ushintshe inhliziyo wanquma ukulivuma icala lokubulala, elokubamba inkunzi nelokushisa. NgoFebhuwari 1979, wagwetshwa iminyaka eyishumi nane ejele. Okushaqisayo wukuthi uShower wadonsa iminyaka engaphansi kwemihlanu yesigwebo sakhe ngaphambi kokuthi adedelwe ngoshwele ngo-1983.
Ukucabanga ngecala
Icala lokubulala likaTeresita Basa lisalokhu lingelinye elixakile nelihlaba umxhwele kakhulu emlandweni waseChicago. Isici esingaphezu kwemvelo sendaba, nezimangalo ze-Chua zokuphathwa komoya we-Basa, yengeza isici esishaqisayo nesiyindida. Nakuba ukungabaza kungase kunqobe, ulwazi olunikeziwe phakathi nalezi zimpawu ekugcineni luholele ekuhlonzweni nasekugwetshweni kombulali.
Icala elingajwayelekile likaTeresita Basa liyisikhumbuzo sokuthi ubulungiswa bungaqhamuka emithonjeni ebingalindelekile. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungaphezu kwemvelo noma ngengozi, izambulo ezavela ngokuhlangenwe nakho kukaChua zithole ubufakazi obubalulekile bobugebengu obungase buhlale bungasombululwanga futhi bubanda. Indaba kaBasa empeleni isishiya nemibuzo eminingi kunezimpendulo, isikhumbuza ngobukhona bomuntu obuyinkimbinkimbi futhi obuvame ukungaqondakali.
Amazwi wokugcina
The indaba emnandi kaTeresita Basa kanye nezinsolo zokungenelela kwakhe njengesipoki ekuxazululeni ukubulawa kwakhe kuseyinganekwane engaqondakali ephikisana nezincazelo ezijwayelekile.

Abangabazayo bangase bazichithe izimangalo zokutholakala nempahla, njengoba bekholelwa ukuthi uNkk. Chua, owayevele elazi icala futhi enokuxhumana komuntu siqu kokubili isisulu nombulali, wanquma ukungazibandakanyi ngokuqondile nophenyo noma izinyathelo zomthetho. Kunalokho, wakhetha ukufuna ubulungisa ngenye indlela - isipoki.
Noma ngabe bekuyini, umthelela wezambulo zikaNkk Chua awunakuphikwa ngokuphelele, njengoba ekugcineni ziholele ekuhlonzweni nasekugwetshweni kombulali. Ifa likaTeresita Basa liyaqhubeka, lisikhumbuza amandla ahlala njalo omoya womuntu kanye nokufuna iqiniso nobulungiswa.
