For a couple of years, this story was all over the internet, with people resorting to personal attacks on Facebook, Reddit and other sites that allowed comments, if anyone dared question the claims of these women Catherine dubbed the “sacred cows,” but now you never see anything about them anymore? Does anyone know what they’re doing now that people have lost interest and they’re no longer the center of attention?

FBI Exhumes Body of Joyce MaleckiYesterday (December 14), the casket containing what remains of the body of Joyce Malecki was removed from the grave where the young murder victim has lain for 54 years. The 20-year-old woman disappeared while shopping in November 1969, shortly after Cathy Cesnik vanished. “The FBI conducted an exhumation at Loudon Park Cemetery regarding the murder investigation of Joyce Malecki,” an FBI spokesperson said. “We remain committed to bringing justice for Joyce and her family. Because the investigation is ongoing, we cannot provide any additional information.”
It has long been rumored that priests at Baltimore’s Archbishop Keough High School, a Catholic school for girls, were involved in the murder of Cathy Cesnik, 26, a nun who taught at the school. At the time of her disappearance, however, she was living as a secular woman.
The 2017 documentary, The Keepers, bases its claims on the “recovered memories” of former Keough students, who allege the Rev. Joseph Maskell not only sexually abused numerous girls, but actually took Jean Hargadon-Wehner to see the body of the dead nun.
The accusing women believe Maskell could be responsible for Ms. Malecki’s murder because she attended mass conducted by the priest and lived near the rectory.
Earlier this year, authorities closed the case of Pamela Lynn Conyers, a 16-year-old girl who disappeared October 16, 1970, from the same mall where Ms. Malecki vanished the year before. According to police, DNA from the body matched that of Forrest Clyde Williams III, who was 21 at the time and died in 2018.
It is hoped DNA can be collected from Ms. Malecki’s corpse and such can be compared to that of Williams, various other suspects and samples on file with CODIS.
“I am very pleased the FBI is investing in this and hope it yields info on the identity of the perpetrator,” Abbie Fitzgerald Schaub, one of Cathy Cesnik’s former students, told reporters. “I’m not biased who that might be – just would like to know the truth of what happened.”Update (March 2024): A second man, Donald Willard, who died in 2010 at the age of 74, also has been identified through DNA. Willard worked for a company involved in the construction project along Route 100 where the victim’s body and car were found. Both Willard and Williams were known to frequent the Mountain Bar (long since closed) on Mountain Road.

If there's any DNA recovered from the body of Joyce Malecki, I'll bet it will be that of Williams.

If there's any DNA recovered from the body of Joyce Malecki, I'll bet it will be that of Williams. I assume there's DNA from Sister Cathy because they dug up Father Maskell to see if there was any of his DNA on her. I suppose though that the DNA from her case wasn't that of Williams.

I assume someone is keeping up with what's happening in the case of Joyce Malecki and that the results of the testing will be posted as soon as they become available.
One of the reasons I joined this group is because it's just about the only site online that doesn't attack people for saying they doubt some, or all, of what those women who call themselves "The Keepers" said. I had never heard of this case until I saw the program and I had doubts after the first few minutes of watching it.

I believe that Forrest Clyde Williams III and/or Donald Willard, the men who killed Pamela Lynn Conyers in October 1970, killed both Joyce Malecki and Sister Cathy Cesnik. Sister Cathy went missing on November 7, 1969, and just 4 days later, on November 11, Joyce Malecki disappeared. Even in a city the size of Baltimore, it would be extremely unusual for 3 young women to go missing at shopping malls around the same time unless there was a connection. I would like to know more about Donald Willard, such as when he was in Maryland and if he moved on to jobs in other locations.

If Willard was in Baltimore at the time Sister Cathy and Joyce Malecki were abducted and murdered, I would say he's the most likely suspect. Williams would have been only around 19 or 20 in November of 1969, and he probably didn't even know Willard at that time.

Willard would have been in his early 30s, so he would have been more adept at kidnapping a woman than a man in his late teens or early 20s. I hope the police are checking Willard's background and any cases of missing and murdered women in the locations where he lived.
