BALTIMORE (WBFF) – The body of Joseph Maskell, a Baltimore-area priest who died in 2001, has been exhumed as part of a murder investigation, police confirm.
The death of Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik, now the subject of a Netflix series, remains under investigation.
Cesnik was reported missing on November 7, 1969 and her decomposing body was found in Lansdowne on January 3, 1970.
A former student at Archbishop Keough High School came forward in the 1990s claiming that she had confided in Cesnik about being sexually abused by the priest, shortly before her disappearance.
