Murder of Catherine Cesnik  Catherine Anne Cesnik (born November 17, 1942; disappeared November 7, 1969) was a Catholic religious sister who taught English and drama at the formerly all-girls Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, Maryland (U.S.). On November 7, 1969, Cesnik disappeared. Her body was discovered on January 3, 1970, near a garbage dump in the Baltimore suburb of Lansdowne. Her murder remains unsolved and later served as the basis for the Netflix documentary web series "The Keepers" in 2017. Catherine Anne Cesnik was born on November 17, 1942, in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania neighborhood of Lawrenceville, located in the city's east end. She was the eldest child of Joseph and Anna Omulac Cesnik. Her paternal grandparents, John (Jan) and Johanna Tomec Česnik, were Slovenians who emigrated from Yugoslavia to Pittsburgh, while her maternal grandfather, Joseph Omulac, came from Yugoslavia and maternal grandmother, Martha Hudok, was born in Austria. Cesnik had three siblings. Cesnik attended St. Mary's School on 57th Street and St. Augustine High School, both in Lawrenceville. She was valedictorian of her Catholic high school class in 1960, where she had also been the May Queen and the president of the senior class and student council. At the time she disappeared, Cesnik taught at Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore, Maryland as a drama and English teacher. On November 7, 1969, she left the apartment she shared with Sister Helen Russell Phillips at the Carriage House Apartments, at 131 North Bend Road in Catonsville, en route to the Edmondson Village Shopping Center to purchase a gift at Hecht's for her sister's engagement. Records indicate Cesnik cashed a paycheck at First National Bank in Catonsville that night and possibly made a purchase at Muhly's Bakery in Edmondson Village, since a box of bakery buns was found in the front seat of Cesnik's car. The car, in muddy condition, was found by Russell's friends, the priests Peter McKeon and Gerard J. Koob, illegally parked across from her apartment complex at 4:40 the next morning. Residents of Carriage House Apartments spotted Cesnik in her car at approximately 8:30 that night, and others spotted her car at the illegally parked location across the street around two hours later. Police searched the area immediately following Cesnik's disappearance but did not find her.
