I never watched “Making A Murderer” or “The Jinx,” and I didn’t listen to the insanely popular podcast “Serial” when it became a phenomenon back in 2014.
But, for some reason, I decided to queue up Netflix’s crime documentary series “The Keepers” last weekend.
I was instantly hooked, and kept watching even as the subject matter became increasingly more disturbing with each installment.
The seven-episode series focuses on the 1969 disappearance and murder of Baltimore nun Catherine Cesnik, as investigated by two of her former students, as well as an allegedly wide-ranging cover-up that protected a priest accused of sexual abuse at the Catholic high school where Cesnik taught.
Now in their 60s, those former students, Gemma Hoskins and Abbie Schaub, doggedly pursue leads, talk to witnesses and even suspects, and reconnect with former classmates from the school, Archbishop Keough High School.
