Know Everything About – Teresita Basa

Who was Teresita Basa, and why was she murdered? Teresita Basa was born in 1929 and moved to the United States in 1960 to begin her music journey. While trying to continue her love and passion for music, she started to work as a respiratory specialist in Chicago, Illinois’s Edgewater Hospital.

Her murder left everyone speechless. Many of you are wondering how Teresita’s examiners handled the peculiar situation, don’t you think? Generally speaking, Teresita’s murder misdeed is probably one of the most ludicrously upsetting and astounding murders in Chicago’s collection of incidents.

Let’s find out.

What Happened to Teresita Basa?

It was 21st February 1977 when Teresita Basa, a Philippines local, was murdered in her condo. She was just 47. Although you may have heard of many homicide cases, this one is surely eye-popping, giving you goosebumps always.

It was the unfaithful night of 1977 when she became the victim of a horrific homicide. In Feb 1977, a group of five firefighters were told to set a place on fire at around 9.00 PM. They were called off as an expert discovered a naked body with a butcher blade embedded in her chest behind a devouring sleeping cushion.

It is believed that the fire was started in order to destroy the homicide’s supporting evidence. Authorities believed that Teresita was a victim of sexual wrongdoing. However, the post-mortem report had no such details, and the theory of sexual wrongdoing remained as is.

Moreover, there was very little proof left at the crime scene because of the fire. However, the authorities did find one piece of proof that said, “Get theater tickets for A.S.” Who was A.S.?

Who was Allan Showery?

A.S., or Allan Showery, used to work with Teresita Basa in the same hospital and admitted to the crimes related to her in 1979. When he performed the horrifying act of killing a woman, age 47, he was about 32 years old.

Allan, the culprit, was nonetheless given a 14-year prison term for killing Teresita after confessing guilt. According to Unsolved Mysteries Fandom Wiki, he was released in the early months of 1983.

How was Allan Showery Arrested?

It was because of Remedios Chua that the authorities were able to get hold of Allan Showery. Prior to receiving the details from Chua, another respiratory doctor, the police had no idea who the culprit was.

Basa’s soul moved remedios’ better half, as his spouse stated. She wanted her killer to be behind bars. And thus, Remedios took the name of Allan Showery to the authorities. It was because of Remedios that the authorities were able to convict Allan of the horrendous crimes.

As per the reports, Showery went to Basa’s house to fix the TV set. After killing Basa (the reason is still unknown), he stole her jewelry. Basa’s father gave those jewels to her mother in France. Later on, Showery gave those jewels to his wife, Yanka Kamluv.

Where is Allan Showery Now?

It was not an easy task for the authorities to make Showery agree to his misdeeds. After a lot of questioning, he agreed to the killing of Teresita Basa. He was sentenced to imprisonment, but after his release in the early months of 1983, no one knows where he has gone.
