In 1977, Teresita Basa was m*rdered in her Chicago apartment. Six months later, a dead woman possessed a stranger's body, named the k*ller, and the conviction held.
On the night of 21 February 1977, firefighters responded to a blaze in a Chicago apartment building.
They found the mortally wounded body of Teresita Basa, a 48-year-old respiratory therapist from the Philippines, st*bbed through the chest with a kitchen knife and set on fire beneath a burning mattress.
She had been posed to look like a se*ual assault victim, but the autopsy confirmed she had not been assaulted. No motive. No suspects. No leads.
For six months, the case went nowhere.
Then in August 1977, a doctor named Jose Chua contacted Chicago detective Joe Stachula with a story unlike anything the detective had ever heard.
His wife Remy, a fellow respiratory therapist who had briefly worked with Basa, had begun falling into trance-like states and speaking in a voice that was not her own.
It was a voice that spoke in Tagalog with a Spanish accent Remy didn't normally have, and identified itself as Teresita Basa.
The voice pleaded: "Doctor, I would like to ask for your help. The man who m*rdered me is still at large."
When pressed for her name, it answered: "I am Teresita Basa."
She told them she had nothing to be scared of, and named her ki*ler: Allan Showery, a respiratory therapist who worked at the same hospital.
The voice also said that Showery had stolen her jewellery and given it to his girlfriend. Detectives investigated.
Many of the details turned out to be true. The jewellery was found. Showery was arrested, tried, and convicted of m*rder.
Nobody has ever explained how Remy Chua knew what she knew.
She and Teresita Basa had barely worked together. The details she provided, the k*ller's name, the stolen jewellery, where it had gone, were verified.
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
It is our worst nightmare to share that our beautiful 23-year-old daughter, Baria Dunya Muhammad, is missing.
She lives in Chicago, and we have not seen or heard from her since Thursday.
Half the battle be accepting that some people were never sent to love you they were sent to reveal you. Reveal your boundaries. Reveal your wounds. Reveal your strength. Everybody that hurt you wasn’t a mistake; some of them were the lesson that introduced you to yourself.
This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance…
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It’s ‘one fell swoop’
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
if money comes and goes or savings don't stay, stop eating your first bite in a rushed or distracted state.
2nd house (food) and wealth are directly linked. the way you receive food reflects how you hold wealth.
take your first bite consciously, sitting properly, no phone, no rush.
it sounds small but it stabilises 2nd house energy over time.
money staying improves before money increasing.

@SaltyBitch_52 I just know those court/mediator hearings were brutal! Why can it not be a McDonald's? He chooses these dangerous locations for this very reason. They cldv done the exchange at a park, the driveway. Anywhere but a strip mall parking lot!
