Thursday night after Saksi
This Thursday night on Case Unclosed, host Arnold Clavio brings you the story of Tara Santelices.
Tara Santelices passed away last July 27, 2009 after struggling to live for almost a year.
It was the eve of her 23rd birthday, August 6, 2008, when Tara was shot in the head.
The young NGO worker boarded a jeep on her way home to Cainta with her best friend Joee Mejias, when a passenger declared a hold-up. The man pulled out his gun and ordered the girls to give him their bags. Tara resisted the gunman. He pulled the trigger, shooting Tara on the forehead.
The jeepney driver continued on his usual route, even picking up other passengers, before bringing the girls to an ill-equipped clinic.
Tara was in a coma by then. Her parents, Larry and Anne struggled to keep the hope alive for their daughter.
The Cainta Police insisted they had solved the case because they found the suspect - who was killed in an alleged shootout with the police.
But Joee Mejias and another witness both say the suspect was not the same man who shot Tara.
Learn the questions that still surround this case ... and witness the triumph of the human spirit when Arnold Clavio visited Tara when she was still alive.
Under the helm of the 2007 Cinemalaya Special Jury Prize director, Jade Francis Castro, Tara's story is retold on Case Unclosed, Thursday night after Saksi.
Pagkatapos ng halos isang taong pakikipaglaban, namatay na si Tara Santelices noong lunes, July 27, 2009.
Gabi ng August 6, 2008 at kaarawan ni Tara Santelices.
Pauwi ng Cainta si Tara at ang kaibigan na si Joee Mejias nang hinoldap ang sinasakyan nilang jeep. Kinuha ng holdaper ang bag ni Tara. Nang nanlaban si Tara, binaril siya sa ulo ng holdaper at bumaba sa jeep.
Sa kanyang pagkakabaril sa ulo, na-comatose si Tara ng ilang buwan.
Ngayong Huwebes sa Case Unclosed kasama si Arnold Clavio, alamin kung ano ang nangyari sa kaso ng pagka - holdap kay Tara.
Pakinggan ang madamdaming salaysay ng magulang ni Tara at kung paano nila pinipilit harapin ang bukas na halos siyam na buwan nang nasa ospital ang kanilang anak. Ano na ang nangyari kay Tara? Bakit sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang na ang mali ang suspect ng pulis sa pamamaslang? Ano ang katibayan ng pulis para sabihin na sarado na ang kaso ni Tara Santelices?
Pakinggan ang kuwento ni Joee Mejias , ang kaibigan ni Tara na kasama niya sa jeep noong naganap ang krimen. Samahan din si Arnold Clavio bisitahin si Tara sa Medical City.
Huwag palampasin ang Case Unclosed kasama si Arnold Clavio ngayong Huwebes pagkatapos ng Saksi.
