An Indianapolis mother traveled to the Dominican Republic to get a Brazilian butt lift and tummy tuck, but according to the woman’s twin sister Sharae Terry, the mother never returned from her trip.
Sharae Terry describes her twin sister, Shacare, as a loving mother to her two-year-old and the proud owner of the Minnie Blessings in Paradise daycare on the city’s east side.

“Me and my sister had the type of relationship that we could get into it one minute and then right after that we would be back friends and talking,” Sharae said.
Sharae says she never would’ve thought in million years that she wouldn’t have seen Shacare again after her she traveled to the Dominican Republic with her childhood friend, Carlesha Williams.
Sharae says she knew something wasn’t right when she Facetimed with her sister a few days after her surgery, and she didn’t look like the sister she knew.
“I knew something wasn’t right. I knew it in my heart.” Sharae said. But this wasn’t Shacare’s first time getting surgery. Back in February, she shared a Facebook post explaining how she got a gastric sleeve and the surgery was successful. Then fast forward to April 11th that’s when she traveled to the Dominican Republic to get another procedure done.
“She was definitely healthy, everything that went wrong happened there,” Sharae said.

Shacare and Williams both underwent surgery for a Brazilian Butt Lift and a Tummy Tuck while there. Williams says both of their surgeries were performed by Dr. Jose Desena at Instituto Medico San Lucas.
By the second day after her surgery, Williams said she was still in a lot of pain, but she noticed Shacare seemed to be struggling a lot more than she was.
“I was moving around a lot more and Shacare wasn’t really moving around, she wasn’t doing anything,” Williams said. “She would lay in bed. I would try to get her to go downstairs and eat with me and she just wasn’t responding well.”
A day later, Shacare was admitted nito the Centro Medico Escanno SRL clinic in Santiago.
“When we go in there and I see her, I almost fell out,” Williams said. “She was on all these machines. She was unresponsive, she wasn’t talking, eyes closed.”
When Shacare’s mom arrived in the Dominican Republic about a week after her surgery, Williams said the Desena continued to insist that she just needed rest and told them to leave.
“Her mother basically tells me that ‘I don’t believe that my daughter is alive, I know my daughter isn’t alive, why won’t they tell me,’” Williams said.
Williams arrived back in the United States on April 21 where she learned that Shacare had passed away.
“[Shacare’s] mom said ‘Carlesha, I went back to my room for an hour, and they called me and told me that her heart stopped that quick,’” Williams said. “She hurries up and goes right back to the clinic and they said her daughter was already in a body bag.”
Both Sharae and Williams say they just want to know what happened.
