', The cop, who died in 2009, said it was a shame because he was certain the priest 'knew more than he was telling. Maskell was a police chaplain and he knew people in high places – that's how they got away with it. “I’m convinced the church was protecting him,” Nick Giangrasso — a former detective with the Baltimore Police Department’s Homicide Unit — tells In Touch. The comments below have not been moderated. Amateur sleuths have continued tracking the famous cold case in a new podcast series. Netflix's documentary series "The Keepers" dives into … An autopsy revealed Cathy Cesnik had been struck on the back of her head, there was a hole the size of a quarter in her skull,  and there were strangulation marks on her neck. Despite many people believing Maskell is responsible, he was never charged with her murder prior to his death in 2001. 'There were a lot of layers that if you peeled them back went a lot deeper. The podcast hosts also answer questions from listeners at the end of episodes. In 1994, two women – identified only as 'Jane Doe' and 'Jane Roe' – alleged that Maskell had raped them when they were students at Sister Cathy's school. And now the streaming, seven-part Netflix documentary, The Keepers, has investigated the case and will feature interviews with victims of the school abuse, and new revelations. We are no longer accepting comments on this article. Four former students also claimed that they were abused by Maskell, and a Baltimore Archdiocese spokesman acknowledged that Maskell was 'credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors. More than 40 years after her death, the case of Sister Cathy Cesnik's murder is still unsolved. With Netflix's "The Keepers" documentary series on the unsolved killing of Baltimore nun Sister Catherine Cesnik debuting Friday, we chronicle developments in May 19, 2017 at 9:55 AM ', Giangrasso also believed Sister Cathy's killing was church-related, telling the Huffington Post: 'I personally thought it was in-house, within her social network – the priests and the religious order.'. A 1994 story in the Baltimore Sun, revealed that she had information about Cesnik's murdered condition, such as the maggots on her face, known only to the cops. Her mutilated remains were found on January 1970 and her murder is still unsolved. 'Father Maskell picked me up, took me to a wooded area where there was a lot of policemen gathered around, he left me in the backseat and two policemen abused me while Maskell stood next to the car.

', While the murder of Sister Cathy is in the forefront of the series, White noted that there were other crimes 'happening before and after, and still filter down to today and may be linked to her murder.'. But when he was questioned by the police, he had an ironclad alibi for the night of Sister Cathy's disappearance. After her body — which was covered with choke marks on her neck and a hole in the back of her head — was discovered in a dump by a group of hunters, people immediately pointed fingers at a priest named Father Joseph Maskell, who worked at the Archbishop Keough High School with Sister Cathy, after it was revealed that he was sexually molesting, abusing, and raping the young women at the school, many of whom confided in Sister Cathy about the harassment. “She was killed because she knew too much.”. The next time the young nun was seen, it was by a female student from Cesnik's school, Archbishop Keough High School. Following her disappearance, investigators plotted her movements and determined she had cashed her $255 paycheck at a bank before heading to a small shopping center where she bought some baked goods. Today, almost a half-century later, the murder of Sister Cathy – who was once compared to Julie Andrews' character in 'The Sound of Music' because of her beauty and bubbly personality – is still one of law enforcement's most mysterious cold cases.
