Federal investigators told a crime victims’ advocate’s office that they are working on exhuming the body of Joyce Malecki, a sudden development in the decades-old cold case detailed in the Netflix series “The Keepers.”
The FBI recently spoke with Malecki’s brother and an investigator from the Maryland Crime Victims Resource Center about the development, according to Kurt Wolfgang, who directs the advocacy nonprofit that has taken on Malecki’s family as clients.
Malecki, a 20-year-old Lansdowne woman whose body was found in 1969 at the Fort Meade military installation in Anne Arundel County, went missing four days after Sister Catherine Cesnik did. Cesnik was a 26-year-old Archbishop Keough High School nun whose death under similar circumstances was the focus of the 2017 documentary series, which aimed to link both homicides to sexual abuse at the now-closed Catholic school.
