Teresa Longo was 31 when her body was found October 2, 2015, inside a vacant house near North 39th and Burdette Streets in Omaha. A mother to a young daughter, she was experiencing homelessness at the time. An autopsy determined she died from a close-range shotgun wound to the back of her head, and insect evidence placed the time of death between September 15 and September 21, about two weeks before the discovery.

Investigators arrested 31-year-old Reginald Briggs after an anonymous tip and statements Briggs allegedly made to an acquaintance. Briggs and Longo knew one another; he had reportedly offered her a place to stay in exchange for her working for him as a prostitute. Police searched the Little Papio Creek near Karen Park for evidence. At trial prosecutors said Briggs ran a prostitution operation that involved Longo and his girlfriend. A jury convicted Briggs of manslaughter, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person, and pandering; he was not convicted of first-degree murder.

If anyone knew Teresa, her movements that September, or has information about exploitation of homeless women in that area, please come forward.
