Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins sit down together for the first time in over a year for a wide-ranging conversation about the unsolved 1969 murder of Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik in Baltimore, Maryland. Known to millions through the Netflix documentary The Keepers, Gemma has spent more than a decade investigating what happened to Sister Cathy, the young School Sister of Notre Dame who taught English and drama at Archbishop Keough High School. She was found dead two months after her disappearance. This episode is a Q&A, recorded live with questions submitted by listeners through the show's Facebook community.The Investigation: Timeline Questions and New DoubtsListeners asked about the timeline of the night Sister Cathy Cesnik disappeared on November 7, 1969. Father Gerard Koob, who was in a relationship with Sister Cathy, claims he called the police at 11:30 PM after arriving at her apartment. The police report says the call came at 1:30 AM, a two-hour gap that remains unexplained. Koob says he and Father Peter McKeon found Cathy's car around 3:30 AM during a walk, but the police report credits McKeon alone with the discovery.Gemma corrects a long-standing detail from The Keepers: the car was not found directly across the street from Cathy's apartment at Carriage House. It was actually found one court up the street, on Carriage Court, around a curve and out of direct line of sight from Lantern Court. She also confirms that the image of Sister Cathy's car shown in The Keepers was digitally placed into the scene by producer Jessica Hargrave as a visual aid. The steering wheel appears on the wrong side because the original police impound photo was flipped to match the camera angle.Shane and Gemma discuss the suspicious letter Father Koob claims Cathy wrote to him, a handwritten love letter dated 12:30 AM on the Monday before she disappeared. The letter was found in the morgue notes rather than the detective's case file. Shane points out this means it was likely turned over after Cathy's body was found in January 1970, not when she first went missing. A profiler formerly with Scotland Yard analyzed the letter's content and concluded it was not written by Sister Cathy. Koob did not pass his second polygraph examination.They also examine a separate letter Cathy wrote to her sister Marilyn, postmarked after the disappearance, which was admitted into evidence with the Baltimore County Police but has since gone missing. Shane raises the question of whether Father Koob could have written the letter to Marilyn as well, noting the parallels to the other letter and the movie ticket alibi.New Evidence: The Mary Statue at St. Clement'sGemma shares a story that has not been widely reported. Approximately two years ago, Eva Nelson, a publicly identified survivor of Father Joseph Maskell's abuse, told investigators she remembered watching Maskell bury something in the backyard of the St. Clement's rectory in Lansdowne. Police obtained permission from the current property owner and brought in ground-penetrating sonar equipment. Detective Josh Battaglia, the current investigator on Sister Cathy Cesnik's case, was present at the dig.After two visits and multiple excavations, they found a broken statue of the Virgin Mary buried beneath a large bush that had once been small when Eva was a child. Eva recognized the statue immediately. A nun at St. Clement's had given it to her for protection, telling her, "Mary will always protect you." Father Maskell found the statue, broke it in front of Eva, and forced her to watch him bury it. The discovery validates Eva's memory of events that took place decades ago.Historical ContextSister Catherine Ann Cesnik was a 26-year-old School Sister of Notre Dame who taught English and drama at Archbishop Keough High School in Baltimore. She disappeared on November 7, 1969 after leaving her apartment to run errands. Her body was found on January 3, 1970 in a wooded area in Lansdowne. Her murder has never been solved. Father Joseph Maskell, a Catholic priest and school counselor at Keough, was later accused of sexually abusing dozens of students throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Multiple survivors have said they believe Sister Cathy was killed because she was about to report the abuse. Maskell died in 2001 without facing criminal charges. The case was the subject of the 2017 Netflix documentary series The Keepers.Content WarningThis episode discusses clergy abuse and violence.Frequently Asked QuestionsWho is Gemma Hoskins?Gemma Hoskins is a retired Baltimore teacher and former student at Archbishop Keough High School.

Let's just say we were "locked and loaded" for this episode! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and we'll be back next week with all new episodes! And don't forget that tickets to Ask Ronna Lonely Hearts LIVE in New York are on sale now! This is THE Ask Ronna social event of the year, and it's your chance to join us in person on February 7th.

**ALL NEW EPISODES RETURN NEXT WEEK!** Summer's unofficially over, so let's celebrate September with one more peek inside the Patreon Carriage House before Yadvina takes a well deserved break...for a few days. We're going back to August 2020 and Patreon 26. From 8/7/20: Agent Provocateur Ronna & CCEO (Bryan) are here with a doozy of a question about what to do when you wake up to your partner energetically masturbating in bed next to you while you're trying to sleep. Then it's on to matters less risqué, including proper bidet etiquette and what to if your neighbors aren't reciprocating your offers to socialize. (Bryan) took Ronna's notes from last week and offers up a new version of the Lobsterman's commercial. We think you'll agree it's...got more panache.  Sponsor: Fall's almost here, and it's time to update your wardrobe. Quince has got you covered with timeless, cozy, and chic styles for an incredible price. Go to ⁠quince.com/ronna⁠ for free shipping and a 365-day return window. Learn more about your ad choices.

New Free Feed episodes return Tuesday, September 9th! Until then, summer break continues with a look inside the Patreon Carriage House thanks to Yadvina. This week we're going back to July 2020 when we were all stuck inside during the pandemic. But we got through it with our QUIFF Film Festival Series. Here's a peek at what it was like! From 7/17/20: I mean, when you have a cliffhanger that's this dire, you have to dive right in! We waste no time dishing out our advice on what tools make masturbation a more fulfilling experience (a rechargeable wand and Toni Braxton go a long way, apparently). Then, after some reviews and a VERY interesting update from this week's Free Feed Twitter porn issue, we move on to #QUIFF! We had a fairly heavy festival a couple of weeks ago, so we're ingesting some lighter fare this week with STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN and RATATOUILLE. Montalbán's pecs! Shatner's pettiness! Garofalo's French accent! It's all here! When we say there are only a few tickets left to Ask Ronna Live in Boston, we mean it. Like, there are maybe 8 tickets left. If you want to join us on October 4th in Beantown, you better get on it NOW! askronnalive.com Sponsor: Ronna's Loro better get used to some company, because there's a new blanket in The Carriage House, and it comes from Lola Blankets.

Our summer break is in full swing, and Yadvina is letting anyone who asks into The Carriage House while Ronna shacks up north of the border. Lucky for you, that means another sneak peek at our Patreon catalogue. And we're going way back again to July of 2020. This week it's a Carriage House Catch-Up with Ronna (& Bryan), but we won't let Ronna's FedEx guy, "Sale of the Century," or (Bryan)'s eerily accurate impression of Andrei from 90 Day get in the way of helping out our CHIPs! After a cliffhanger about a woman who scares easily (and the boyfriend who thinks it's strange), we get into a pair of questions regarding quarantine: one about an elderly mother ready to get out and the other about a bored family looking for games to play while staying in. Mix it all in with an update from our four-to-a-bed Foursome, and you've got yourselves a podcast. If you enjoyed this episode and aren't yet a member of Patreon, it's never been a better time to join us! Not only do you get bonus episodes every month, but, depending on which tier you join, you also get access to the back catalogue of episodes as well as the monthly (and invaluable, pardon me) Shades of Vanilla Newsletter!

As we begin our summer break, it's that time when Yadvina gets a little too generous with the keys to The Carriage House. So here's a sneak peek behind the paywall at a Patreon episode from WAY back...May 2020 to be exact. It's an intimate Carriage House catch-up, and Ronna & Bryan are talking Murder Hornets, 90 Day, and everything in between. Then it's on to an international update from Seville, Spain, men's jewelry, and a VERY tricky question about Twitter Porn. If you enjoyed this episode and aren't yet a member of Patreon, it's never been a better time to join us! Not only do you get bonus episodes every month, but, depending on which tier you join, you also get access to the back catalogue of episodes as well as the monthly (and invaluable, pardon me) Shades of Vanilla Newsletter!

Wait a minute. Yes, our dear (Bryan) is in Edinburgh right now, but we're just getting right into it this week because we have a special guest who's been in The Carriage House so much it might be insulting to call her a guest. She's family at this point, pardon me. It's our dear, dear friend Jessica St. Clair! If you're not listening to Jessica's podcast THE DEEP DIVE (with the equally lovely June Diane Raphael), we don't know what to tell you. You're missing out! Ronna and Jessica, who's off to the south of France tomorrow for a well earned vacation, have a little Carriage House Catch-Up of their own (did Ronna REALLY give Jessica some bad pot?) before giving advice on a mother vs mother-in-law battle and what to do with a boyfriend whose home is less than clean. It's time to get hinky. If you're anywhere near Scotland, you've GOT to go see (Bryan)'s show ARE YOU MAD AT ME at the Edinburgh Fringe! Now showing through the end of August!

Now wait a minute. We're rolling out the red carpet for our Hollywood guest this week. We're thrilled to welcome back to the Carriage House a true friend of the show, none other than Editor-At-Large of VARIETY (ever heard of it?) and journalist extraordinaire Kate Aurthur! After some breaking news about all sorts of reality show drama, Kate helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on dealing with stinky neighbors and how to tell good friends that their dog is obese. Our very own (Bryan)'s show is opening in Edinburgh next week! Go see him at the Fringe! Tickets at bryansafi.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) has a sudden work obligation and can only stay for the introduction (such is the life of a Hollywood A-Lister), but boy is he missing out. We suppose it's only fair, though, since Ronna missed out the first time this absolute literary legend was previously in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is the Queen herself, Susan Orlean! Of course you know Susan as the best-selling author of THE ORCHID THIEF, which was adapted into the Academy Award winning film ADAPTATION with Meryl Streep. She's also the author of THE LIBRARY BOOK as well as a staff writer for THE NEW YORKER. Her new book, JOYRIDE, comes out in October! You can also find her Substack at susanorlean.substack.com Susan and Ronna tackle one question this week, but it's a Dooze McBooze involving someone coming into a large inheritance debating how, or even whether, to help their less well-off siblings.  (Bryan)'s Edinburgh show, ARE YOU MAD AT ME, is coming up at the end of the month and plays the Edinburgh Fringe for most of August. Are you going to be anywhere near Scotland in August? Go see (Bryan)! Tickets at bryansafi.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wait a minute. We've got one of our all time favorite devils in The Carriage House this week. Joining us is our dear, dear friend John Gemberling! You know John from his million TV appearances on shows like BROAD CITY, MARRY ME, MAKING HISTORY, MIXED-ISH, and many, many more. John helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on getting out of going to a family wedding and navigating a very long term relationship where marriage seems to be out of the question.

Joining us in The Carriage House is the delightful Betsy Sodaro! You can see Betsy on the hit CBS show GHOSTS, but you can also catch her on her two fabulous podcasts A FUNNY FEELING and, her newest, WE LOVE TRASH.

Ronna's off this week, but we've got one hell of a guest host, pardon me. Joining (Bryan) in The Carriage House this week is our dear, dear friend...the DELIGHTFUL Mary Holland! You can catch Mary "The Netherlands" (as her friends call her) in just about every movie or TV show ever made, like GHOSTS on CBS, NIGHTBITCH with Amy Adams on Hulu, and many, many more.  Mary (& Bryan) give some advice on dealing with layoffs and a first class bachelorette party problem.
