The Netflix documentary series is exploring whether alleged sexual abuse by a Catholic priest played a role in the nun’s death
Church did not interfere in unsolved murder case of Baltimore nun, confirms Archdiocese as ‘The Keepers’ documentary series released
As Netflix released a seven-part documentary about the unsolved 1969 murder of a Baltimore nun on 19 May, officials of the Archdiocese of Baltimore reaffirmed that the Church did not interfere in the investigation of her death.
Sr Cathy Cesnik was a 26-year-old teacher when she was killed on 7 November 1969. Her body was found two months later.
The Archdiocese says, “unfortunately, the producers asked very few questions of the archdiocese before releasing the series and did not respond to the archdiocese’s request to receive an advance copy of the series”.
