Netflix released its first trailer today for “The Keepers,” a docuseries on the unsolved murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik, a 26-year-old Baltimore nun who went missing in 1969. ‘
The seven-part series will launch on May 19 on the streaming service.
Netflix has already made its mark in the true-crime genre with “Making a Murderer,” a highly successful production about a Wisconsin man tried, convicted, freed and then convicted again for murder.
“The Keepers” looks to have all of that and more with some news reports on the Cesnik case suggesting a cover-up of what police investigators found when they looked into her death.
Some believe that cover-up involved a Catholic priest, who was a suspect in her death, and a ring of sexual abuse exploiting working-class Catholic children at the high school where Cesnik taught.
