In November 1969, Sister Catherine Cesnik, a popular, twenty-six-year-old
teacher at an all-girls Catholic high school in Baltimore, disappeared.
Two months later her frozen body was found in a nearby landfill, her
skull fractured and her clothes partly removed.
No one was ever charged in her murder, which is now the subject of The Keepers, Netflix’s latest foray into true-crime original programming. The Keepers follows a pair of Cesnik’s former students who have devoted their retirement years to pursuing the case. The two women have amassed vast quantities of evidence, apparently more than the police know, but the drama of the documentary lies in the tantalizing possibility that Cesnik was killed just as she was about to expose the most outrageous and bizarre case of clergy sexual abuse I have ever heard of.
