**1978 - Bellingham, Massachusetts. **
At the age of 19, Theresa Corley held a promising future. As the first of nine siblings to pursue college—a goal she worked to finance herself—she had aspirations of becoming a pediatrician.
But on the night of December 5th, 1978, Theresa, who was out celebrating with friends at Franklin's Train Stop bar, didn't return home. Her friend’s said they last saw her leaving the bar sometime before midnight on foot following a fight with her boyfriend. Theresa didn’t have a car, and the trek home was miles away.
Three days later, on December 8th, her nude body was discovered halfway down a steep ditch on the side of the highway. She had been strangled.
As investigators dug into the mystery of Theresa’s final hours alive, unsettling narratives surrounding a party at a nearby apartment came to light, placing Theresa there after she left the bar. What secrets were being hidden in that apartment? Were they connected to Theresa’s murder?
Determined to discover what really happened, Theresa’s sister, Gerri Houde, has embarked on a relentless quest for the truth; and she’s telling her story on Murder, She Told.
This is part one of Theresa Corley’s story.
