About

"Grief and institutional silence turned into dogged detective work"

A true-crime docuseries investigating the unsolved 1969 murder of a Baltimore nun, and the decades of institutional abuse it may be tied to. Former students turned amateur sleuths lead the digging, piecing together decades-old memories, church records, and buried testimony. It's slow-burning and heavy, built more on patient interviews and mounting dread than twists, and it trusts viewers to sit with discomfort rather than seeking easy catharsis. What carries it is the quiet fury and dignity of the women at its center, refusing to let the case stay closed.

Watch it for

the survivors and amateur investigators whose persistence drives the entire investigation forward.

Maybe skip if

you find sustained accounts of institutional abuse too difficult to sit with.
