On a Chilly February Evening…
In 1977, Teresita was 47 years old and genuinely happy with her life. At the time, she was living in Chicago and working at Edgewater Hospital. Teresita had also just gotten back to school and was studying hard and working on her doctoral thesis in music at Loyola University. In her spare time, Teresita held piano lessons at her apartment.

At the chilly start of the year, on February 21, Teresita headed out to work a shift at the hospital. She then returned to her apartment located at 2740 North Pine Grove Avenue. At about 7:30 in the evening, she received a phone call from her good friend, Ruth Loeb.
