1
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:18,101
It was like a puzzle
trying to put this thing together.

2
00:00:20,938 --> 00:00:24,274
You know,
you heard some pretty wild stories.

3
00:00:26,944 --> 00:00:29,738
For the most part, I believed

4
00:00:29,821 --> 00:00:32,115
that something happened.

5
00:00:33,742 --> 00:00:34,576
You know,

6
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:36,954
where there's smoke, there's a fire.

7
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:42,459
And the quantity of smoke
that had been built up

8
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:45,754
certainly suggested
that there was some fire underneath.

9
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:51,885
But we had no... Nothing really...
No facts to back that up.

10
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:57,015
Because so much of it
was he said, she said.

11
00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:01,603
But in this case, it was he said,
she said, she said, she said, she said.

12
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:14,074
Father Maskell,
I wanted him charged.

13
00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:17,661
I wanted to see him sitting in jail
for what he had done.

14
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:21,123
And the only way for that to happen

15
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:23,500
would've been for the prosecutor
to indict him.

16
00:01:25,377 --> 00:01:28,964
Sharon May, she was the chief
of the Sex Offense Unit

17
00:01:29,047 --> 00:01:30,924
for the prosecutor's office.

18
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:34,845
I... I don't know why she didn't.
It was out of our hands.

19
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:38,849
I didn't know what to do.

20
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:43,353
The state's attorney...

21
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:46,648
the police...

22
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:50,569
the archdiocese...

23
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:53,989
they did nothing.

24
00:01:57,576 --> 00:02:00,787
This man was,
you know, back out in a parish.

25
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:08,670
I... I felt they had no other choice
but to say yes to the lawsuit.

26
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:13,592
They asked
if I wanted to be a plaintiff,

27
00:02:14,051 --> 00:02:15,886
and I said yeah.

28
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,097
It made me really happy

29
00:02:19,181 --> 00:02:22,768
because I wanted the world to know
what horrible things he did.

30
00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:28,940
And, um, I became Jane Roe
in the Doe/Roe-Maskell case in '94.

31
00:02:30,317 --> 00:02:34,613
It was determined that
we would file suit against Father Maskell,

32
00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:39,618
the School Sisters of Notre Dame,
who were the nuns who oversaw the school,

33
00:02:39,701 --> 00:02:44,039
the archdiocese,
and the gynecologist, Christian Richter.

34
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:52,297
It was a huge, huge deal
to take on the Church in Baltimore.

35
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:55,967
It... We were up against a giant.

36
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:15,547
Somehow it got in the media
that we were investigating this thing.

37
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:18,842
And a lot of girls started calling me
and talking to me.

38
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:21,136
And they wanted us to know
there's credibility,

39
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,180
but they didn't want their names used.

40
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:26,308
Didn't want their families, husbands,
knowing anything's going on.

41
00:04:26,975 --> 00:04:28,602
Then we started rolling from there.

42
00:04:29,144 --> 00:04:32,189
We interviewed...
I interviewed over a hundred girls myself.

43
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:34,065
Because...
Firsthand or first on site?

44
00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:35,776
What happened...
Firsthand?

45
00:04:35,859 --> 00:04:38,361
As we were getting
into this, we had to cut it off

46
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:40,238
because, I mean, we had so many victims.

47
00:04:40,322 --> 00:04:42,407
We were gonna go work on the best cases.

48
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:44,659
"Maskell had a police officer pick me up."

49
00:04:45,327 --> 00:04:48,163
"Maskell was running around with police,
put me in the car."

50
00:04:48,246 --> 00:04:50,707
"Maskell pulled me into his office
and examined me on his desk."

51
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:54,127
And those were the cases that
we felt we could really do something with.

52
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:57,130
We believed them, we had a credible case.

53
00:04:57,631 --> 00:04:59,591
This is what we call a red ball case.

54
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:03,470
A red ball case is any case that's
gonna cause national media attention.

55
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:05,514
You have to work
with the state's attorneys.

56
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:07,432
So, we were taking it directly to...

57
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:10,227
Sharon May's office. To Sharon May.

58
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:13,438
My... My concern with this
is I'm still stuck

59
00:05:13,522 --> 00:05:16,608
on why didn't the
state's attorney's office charge Maskell?

60
00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:20,987
You say you had a hundred women
coming in in '94

61
00:05:21,196 --> 00:05:22,781
with complaints that they were...

62
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:25,742
That they knew of or that
they were involved with sexual abuse.

63
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,662
I'm telling you,
Sharon May ran interference for the Church

64
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:29,996
any time we got a priest case.

65
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,541
She just killed it, then.
She'd kill it.

66
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:37,629
From what I understand after
our meeting, our source, Deep Throat,

67
00:05:37,712 --> 00:05:39,881
shared with us that he knows

68
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:42,717
almost a hundred women came forward,

69
00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:45,554
and that they all came
to the police department

70
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:48,306
and at the very same time,

71
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:51,351
Joseph Maskell was still performing
the Sacraments

72
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:53,436
at St. Augustine's in Elkridge.

73
00:05:56,565 --> 00:05:59,067
August, 1994...

74
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:04,155
Beverly Wallace and I... went to church.

75
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:08,285
A nice suburban couple at church.

76
00:06:11,538 --> 00:06:15,584
Maskell delivered Mass,
and he had a voice

77
00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:21,381
that was very soothing
and very calming.

78
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:29,681
Even knowing what I knew about him,
I found his voice very reassuring.

79
00:06:32,017 --> 00:06:33,977
Bob and I discussed when we left

80
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:37,272
how we thought if you had gone
to Father Maskell

81
00:06:37,355 --> 00:06:39,983
and were upset or rattled,

82
00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:43,361
that would be a welcome voice
to talk to you.

83
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:46,489
That's terrifying.

84
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,416
I met Joe Maskell

85
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,752
at Hopkins University.

86
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:02,255
And I think it was somewhere around 1982.

87
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:07,302
The time that I met him,
I was in charge of the counseling program.

88
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:08,637
I was a professor there...

89
00:07:09,512 --> 00:07:13,350
and they had a program that trained
school and community counselors.

90
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,227
And he came into that program
as a student.

91
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:18,605
So, I remembered him
because of two things.

92
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:20,148
One, he was a priest,

93
00:07:20,231 --> 00:07:22,233
and the other
that he was extremely bright.

94
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:26,279
Joe wrote like few students can write,

95
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:28,573
and his speech was wonderful,

96
00:07:28,657 --> 00:07:31,701
so, he was just extremely good
as a student.

97
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:38,625
I saw him as both a colleague
and later on, actually, as a friend.

98
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:44,255
The things that I thought were unusual,
but I understood, he...

99
00:07:44,339 --> 00:07:49,678
He liked guns and he... He told me that,
and he had a collection of them, I think.

100
00:07:49,761 --> 00:07:54,432
So, I thought he might be interested
in playing cops and robbers.

101
00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:55,517
I didn't know him.

102
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,936
I never questioned that very much,
but I thought...

103
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,272
well, if that was his thing,
that was his thing.

104
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:07,487
I also remember visiting him once
when he was...

105
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:09,906
I was supposed to visit him
at a certain time

106
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:13,910
and he said he was busy in a cemetery,
he was digging in a cemetery.

107
00:08:16,871 --> 00:08:20,875
He said it's a very old cemetery
and it was unkept.

108
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:22,335
It was not kept very well.

109
00:08:23,962 --> 00:08:27,966
And besides, he had to bury
some psychological papers there.

110
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:33,346
I did not question that overtly to him,

111
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:35,056
but it sounded strange to me.

112
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:44,107
Eject button.

113
00:08:44,607 --> 00:08:46,985
I guess maybe this is my eject button.

114
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:51,197
We could be the last generation
who knows how these work.

115
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:55,869
All right.

116
00:08:56,453 --> 00:08:58,830
So, this is the day
after the cemetery dig.

117
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:09,424
City and county police are teaming
to investigate the murder of a nun

118
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:11,342
more than 20 years ago.

119
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:14,679
Police dug up a box of records
buried at the Holy Cross Cemetery

120
00:09:14,763 --> 00:09:18,725
after an employee told them Reverend
Maskell ordered the documents buried.

121
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:27,817
We get this anonymous thing.

122
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:31,571
Well, the guy turned out to be this guy
named Storey. Mr. Storey calls up.

123
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:38,453
He says, "Know where
the farmers' market parking lot is?

124
00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:41,748
Be there at midnight. Come alone.

125
00:09:43,041 --> 00:09:45,251
I got information
that'll blow this case wide open."

126
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:51,257
So, we go down there on the parking lot.

127
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:56,012
When he gets in the car and says,
"Start driving." So we do.

128
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:57,680
We start driving.

129
00:10:05,355 --> 00:10:07,023
And we get to Holy Cross Cemetery.

130
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:12,153
Oh, it's dark as hell. It's midnight.

131
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:15,031
He goes, "Go to the back."

132
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:22,622
"I wanna tell you where I buried the stuff
from Father Maskell."

133
00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:30,213
Well, we got a call from the caretaker...

134
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:34,092
that the cops are down there,
digging up the records.

135
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:38,471
So, we hopped in the car
and sailed down there...

136
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:42,308
and where they were digging
was in the back of the cemetery.

137
00:10:43,226 --> 00:10:46,521
Like, coming over the brow of a hill.
Like over a hill and they were...

138
00:10:46,604 --> 00:10:47,939
They are, down at the bottom,

139
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:53,278
putting these black trash bags
full of records into a van.

140
00:10:55,363 --> 00:11:00,034
"The papers exhumed yesterday
were buried in the cemetery in 1990

141
00:11:00,118 --> 00:11:02,078
at the direction of Father Maskell.

142
00:11:03,288 --> 00:11:07,292
Baltimore Assistant State's Attorney
Sharon A.H. May,

143
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:09,210
head of the city Sex Abuse Unit,

144
00:11:09,794 --> 00:11:13,798
directed yesterday's excavation,
but declined comment on the operation."

145
00:11:16,092 --> 00:11:19,345
One of the boxes that I saw
had girls with their shirts open,

146
00:11:19,429 --> 00:11:20,471
exposing their breasts.

147
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:23,933
And there was records in there
talking about...

148
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:26,394
this individual girl, like a profile.

149
00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:27,979
Clearly in high school.

150
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:29,689
So, that's a lot of boxes.

151
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:31,149
And they're in plastic bags.

152
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:33,276
And that's typical pedophile.

153
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:35,862
A pedophile cannot separate
with his collection.

154
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:39,490
He can't do it. Even though he knows
he can't get to it, he knows it's there.

155
00:11:39,574 --> 00:11:41,242
You saw pictures yourself, correct?

156
00:11:41,326 --> 00:11:43,161
I saw pictures myself, yes, I did.

157
00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:44,287
Enough to arrest Maskell?

158
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,539
We could've done it right then and there.

159
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:49,959
But what I'm saying is... every damn time
we had a case involving a priest,

160
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:52,170
Sharon May ran interference
for the Church.

161
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,672
The division chief
of the Sex Offense Unit.

162
00:11:54,756 --> 00:11:57,175
She ran interference.
How did she run interference?

163
00:11:57,258 --> 00:12:00,094
Ask for a warrant.
"I'll have to look at it. I don't know."

164
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:03,890
If you got information, and you don't
get it within the first 48, it's gone.

165
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:04,807
The red tape.

166
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:05,850
It's gone.

167
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:21,199
So, we went to the cemetery...

168
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:24,744
and as it turned out,
it was a bright sunny day

169
00:12:25,244 --> 00:12:29,040
and I had recently bought
a red convertible,

170
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:32,251
so, I rode there with my top down,
you know,

171
00:12:32,335 --> 00:12:34,587
'cause this is just...
I mean, we were gonna find

172
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:37,256
such great evidence, okay?

173
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,258
So, I was pumped up for that.

174
00:12:39,926 --> 00:12:42,762
And we got there
and, you know, they were digging.

175
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:49,060
And I'm just waiting as they pull
all this stuff out of this hole.

176
00:12:49,852 --> 00:12:55,692
And it was wet, it had to be dried out,
um, you know, and...

177
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:56,943
And sorted through,

178
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:59,112
but to my recollection,

179
00:12:59,195 --> 00:13:03,408
there was nothing found
that went right to,

180
00:13:03,491 --> 00:13:06,202
"Oh, Maskell molested these kids."

181
00:13:06,661 --> 00:13:09,080
We've heard of one source who says

182
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:14,127
that they saw pornographic material
of teenage girls in there.

183
00:13:14,836 --> 00:13:16,004
You're saying no?

184
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:20,842
I don't have any recollection
that we found pornographic material.

185
00:13:21,009 --> 00:13:23,803
Maybe we did, I just don't remember that.

186
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:25,304
The version that we've heard

187
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:28,099
is not that it's, like, produced
pornographic material,

188
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:31,019
they were photographs. Original...
That it was like magazines

189
00:13:31,102 --> 00:13:33,479
or some things were...
No, like actual photographs.

190
00:13:33,563 --> 00:13:35,314
Oh, photographs?
Yeah.

191
00:13:35,398 --> 00:13:36,232
Oh, no.

192
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:37,400
No, no, no, no, no, no.

193
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,402
I know I would remember photographs.

194
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:42,572
No. There were no photographs. Mm-mm.

195
00:13:46,868 --> 00:13:51,706
In 1990,
I was chief of the Sex Offense Division.

196
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:55,168
I handled the TNT cases.

197
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:58,296
Ones where you wouldn't want
to be very open

198
00:13:58,379 --> 00:14:02,008
about the investigation
until you had something solid.

199
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:04,260
Assuming you ever got something solid.

200
00:14:05,887 --> 00:14:10,058
We've heard supposedly
that 30 to a hundred people came forward

201
00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:11,642
in the Maskell case.

202
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:13,895
Would you have yourself heard
those statements?

203
00:14:14,437 --> 00:14:16,898
I don't remember the number.

204
00:14:16,981 --> 00:14:20,068
I know there were quite a few,
but it's been a little while,

205
00:14:20,151 --> 00:14:23,029
and of course, at this point,
I don't have files or anything.

206
00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:28,451
Um, the fact that we had a number
of victims come forward

207
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:32,747
was enough
to make us look at the situation,

208
00:14:33,247 --> 00:14:38,127
but prosecutors have
a very specific obligation

209
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:39,629
in terms of their conduct.

210
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:40,797
All lawyers do.

211
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:45,885
Every case has to stand on its own merit.

212
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:51,391
So, if I charge the case
with respect to Mary Smith

213
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:53,017
and what happened to her,

214
00:14:53,476 --> 00:14:57,980
I cannot, as part of my case in chief,

215
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:03,653
bring in Betty Jones and Arthur Robinson

216
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:09,075
to say he's guilty as to the victim charge

217
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:13,246
because he also did something
to these other people allegedly.

218
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:14,539
You can't do it.

219
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:21,421
I remember one incident where,

220
00:15:22,004 --> 00:15:25,925
you know, we have a subpoena
to get Maskell's records.

221
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:30,596
So, we went to his office space.

222
00:15:33,808 --> 00:15:38,729
There was a secretary
connected with the church.

223
00:15:39,981 --> 00:15:41,649
Um, she let us know

224
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:46,821
that Maskell had taken all the stuff out
and things were gone.

225
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:54,704
Now, did somebody tip Maskell off or...?
You know, I don't know.

226
00:15:56,205 --> 00:15:57,415
But he wasn't there.

227
00:16:00,585 --> 00:16:03,212
And remember, too,
the Catholic Church isn't stupid.

228
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:06,174
They had a lot of things
that they could do.

229
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:09,594
They could move him,
they could give him little sabbaticals.

230
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:13,723
He was apparently hospitalized.

231
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:20,563
And given the nature of the facility,

232
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:24,817
that wasn't some place
that we would have access to him.

233
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:30,364
Maskell was...
I guess the best word is elusive.

234
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:35,661
Did you feel like Maskell was guilty
of child sex abuse

235
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:37,371
even if you couldn't prosecute him?

236
00:16:42,376 --> 00:16:45,588
I didn't disbelieve the victims,

237
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:50,218
but I just didn't have enough
to go forward.

238
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:55,848
So... you know,
maybe in the deep recesses of my mind,

239
00:16:55,932 --> 00:16:56,766
yeah.

240
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,352
He did it, you know.

241
00:16:59,477 --> 00:17:03,064
And then why else did the Church
move him around,

242
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:06,192
why else was he unavailable,

243
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:10,738
why else did he get rid of his records?

244
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,451
But if all you have
is the statement of the victim,

245
00:17:15,785 --> 00:17:18,162
that isn't enough.

246
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:21,290
And so as painful as it may be...

247
00:17:21,958 --> 00:17:25,044
that case perhaps does not get prosecuted.

248
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:30,091
There's an off-the-record
sex crimes detective

249
00:17:30,174 --> 00:17:31,968
who goes under the name Deep Throat

250
00:17:32,093 --> 00:17:35,596
who claims, uh,
that the state's attorney's office

251
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,725
ran interference in favor of the Church
in these cases,

252
00:17:39,809 --> 00:17:42,353
and what would your response to that be?

253
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:50,444
I was not one to be intimidated, okay?

254
00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:55,157
If an allegation is made,
the investigation was done.

255
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:59,370
I never experienced any pressure

256
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:02,623
from the Catholic Church
not to investigate.

257
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:07,378
I didn't always get, necessarily,
the level of cooperation

258
00:18:07,461 --> 00:18:08,462
that I would've liked.

259
00:18:09,005 --> 00:18:12,508
I wasn't and still am not Catholic,

260
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:17,346
so, I didn't have any issues that,
you know, challenged my faith

261
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:21,350
or upset my idea of right and wrong.

262
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,811
No. You know, no.

263
00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:27,773
The allegation was made, I looked at it.

264
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:33,446
If I had had the goods,
it got charged, okay?

265
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:36,991
That's as straightforward as I can be.

266
00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:39,410
I don't care what Deep Throat says.

267
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:46,667
Somebody's not telling it
like it was.

268
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:52,757
Sharon May, she said,
"We found no incriminating photos,

269
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,676
and we found no problem
with the files that were in the box."

270
00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:59,764
Deep Throat says,
"I looked at girls, nude.

271
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:02,558
I saw photos of girls with their tops off.

272
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,810
I saw it with my own damn eyes."

273
00:19:06,646 --> 00:19:08,147
Somebody's lying for sure.

274
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:14,820
This is Eyewitness News.

275
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:16,405
With Don Scott.

276
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,076
Best be advised.

277
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:22,370
Why don't you fast-forward it some more?

278
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:30,086
Not doing... Usually, you can hear it go:

279
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:31,712
I hear it now.
It's very... Yeah.

280
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:33,506
Hit play.

281
00:19:33,798 --> 00:19:37,051
No, you gotta stop it and then play
or it'll snap the old tape.

282
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:38,844
All right.

283
00:19:41,305 --> 00:19:42,181
Oh, there's...

284
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:44,183
Here...

285
00:19:44,475 --> 00:19:46,686
To suggest...
That's that old doctor.

286
00:19:46,769 --> 00:19:48,521
I'm totally innocent of anything
That's...

287
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:51,607
that they're accusing me of. That's it.
Did you know Maskell...?

288
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:52,775
Dr. Richter was

289
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:57,488
the gynecologist where Maskell took me
on several occasions.

290
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:08,124
When I went to the gynecologist
and I got on the table,

291
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:09,542
they had the stirrups.

292
00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:13,921
And I remembered
trying to put my legs through the stirrup

293
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:16,382
because I didn't know
how to get on the table, and...

294
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:20,052
Then Maskell was more than eager
to show me how to get on the table.

295
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:24,932
Maskell raped me.

296
00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:31,188
And Dr. Richter was, like, at the top
of the table, um, feeling my breast.

297
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:37,653
Richter said,
"He really must love you to be in here,

298
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:39,405
with us."

299
00:20:45,161 --> 00:20:50,040
I interviewed the doctor
that Maskell sent some...

300
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:55,296
I'm not sure how many girls
to him for examination.

301
00:20:56,964 --> 00:21:00,050
The doctor admitted to me
he allowed Maskell to remain in the room.

302
00:21:06,807 --> 00:21:09,810
As a woman, I was appalled
at Dr. Richter's involvement.

303
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:16,233
He made a statement...
With a chuckle, said,

304
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,571
as a priest, it was his only opportunity
to see a woman in that position.

305
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:27,536
That comment incensed me.

306
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:32,166
That was clearly a violation
of medical ethics.

307
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:37,087
But because he was a priest
and a friend...

308
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:42,802
You know, there was apparently
a lot of that kind of stuff going on.

309
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:45,513
Dr. Richter denies the charges.

310
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:49,767
I'm totally innocent of anything
they're accusing me of. That's it.

311
00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:51,644
Did you know Father Maskell?

312
00:21:54,063 --> 00:21:55,815
Twenty-five years ago, that's all.

313
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:04,490
Okay. Da-da-da-da-da.

314
00:22:06,617 --> 00:22:10,663
It takes months to maybe years, sometimes,
between filing a case

315
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:13,958
and actually getting it into a courtroom.

316
00:22:14,625 --> 00:22:18,087
First thing I knew of it was
there had been a little bit of coverage

317
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:21,006
about a case,
but I didn't really know details.

318
00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:25,219
They just talked
about Jane Doe and Jane Roe

319
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:28,973
and the abuse at Keough
that had happened in the early '70s.

320
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:33,561
I used to read the articles
in the paper when they first came out.

321
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:36,855
I wondered a lot about who Jane Doe was.

322
00:22:37,481 --> 00:22:39,191
Is it someone I knew?

323
00:22:40,317 --> 00:22:44,154
Did they have a worse experience than me?

324
00:22:44,947 --> 00:22:46,865
The anonymous Jane Doe and Jane Roe

325
00:22:46,949 --> 00:22:50,411
claim the abuser was Father
Joseph Maskell, a counselor at the school.

326
00:22:51,495 --> 00:22:58,252
We started the civil lawsuit
as Jane Doe and myself, Jane Roe.

327
00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:02,548
I mean, there's a lot of people that...

328
00:23:02,631 --> 00:23:05,551
That go berserk when they feel
like they're being attacked.

329
00:23:06,552 --> 00:23:09,722
And a lot of people thought
that they were being attacked personally

330
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:12,558
by this priest
being brought out to the open.

331
00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:15,102
I was afraid for my family.

332
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:19,398
They were ridiculed,
they were not believed.

333
00:23:20,024 --> 00:23:23,444
I can even remember adults
in my own family talking

334
00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:27,406
of how terrible those girls were
for saying that.

335
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:33,454
So, how am I gonna come out
and talk when I...

336
00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:35,789
I'm hearing this from my own family?

337
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:38,292
I was certainly not one

338
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:41,128
that would come forward at that time.

339
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:44,256
I did a complete media blackout.

340
00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:46,425
I stopped reading newspaper.

341
00:23:46,634 --> 00:23:48,218
I stopped watching the television.

342
00:23:49,303 --> 00:23:54,308
I felt really guilty,
but I felt so self-protective, you know,

343
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:59,396
that I just didn't want anybody
to touch my happy little life.

344
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:03,233
Jane Doe.

345
00:24:03,984 --> 00:24:07,154
I never met Jane Doe,
still I haven't met her to this day,

346
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,908
but with someone else
saying things that Maskell did,

347
00:24:10,991 --> 00:24:14,161
I was strong enough to come forward
and to go into court.

348
00:24:15,162 --> 00:24:16,288
Jane Roe...

349
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:20,209
I made a point not to meet her.
I made a point not to talk to her.

350
00:24:20,542 --> 00:24:22,086
I was remembering things,

351
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:25,130
and I was very aware
that I did not want anyone

352
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:28,759
and their memories to get in the way
of what I was remembering.

353
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:35,224
Before the case in '94...

354
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:37,476
we had depositions,

355
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:42,272
and the Church lawyers,
they asked me questions for six days.

356
00:24:46,735 --> 00:24:49,822
The depositions were...

357
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:56,995
I'm sure,
what people would say... necessary.

358
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:02,793
But the experience that I had
in these depositions by these lawyers

359
00:25:02,876 --> 00:25:05,879
was... devastating.

360
00:25:07,381 --> 00:25:10,092
They were questions designed
to beat me down.

361
00:25:10,634 --> 00:25:13,303
What I did with my high school boyfriend.

362
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:16,056
Whether I was sexually active.

363
00:25:17,141 --> 00:25:22,938
It's very, very hard for an abuse victim
to go through those kind of questions.

364
00:25:25,816 --> 00:25:29,403
The kinds of questions,
the intensity of the questions,

365
00:25:29,486 --> 00:25:35,451
the continuation of the questions
of answers that I had already given...

366
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:39,705
And then to start feeling stupid.

367
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:42,875
Because I couldn't say it
in any other way than, um, at that...

368
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:44,752
I can only say what I have remembered.

369
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:52,468
I couldn't give them any answer
that would make them satisfied.

370
00:26:01,351 --> 00:26:03,562
And it's like being back in the room
with Maskell.

371
00:26:04,104 --> 00:26:07,316
I couldn't do that exact thing

372
00:26:07,483 --> 00:26:10,277
that would finally get me the forgiveness

373
00:26:10,736 --> 00:26:13,530
that I had gone into the confessional
looking for.

374
00:26:14,948 --> 00:26:18,285
And here I am, sitting in this room,
with a wall of lawyers,

375
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:25,834
and I can't seem to give them
what they were pressing me for.

376
00:26:28,837 --> 00:26:30,589
They agreed to let Mike sit in...

377
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:32,925
but he had to sit behind me.

378
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:36,053
And if he opened his mouth,
he would have to leave.

379
00:26:36,136 --> 00:26:38,514
And Mike knew if he left, I left.

380
00:26:39,723 --> 00:26:42,726
So, he sat behind me,
and you could feel like it was a lion,

381
00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:46,146
and I just was waiting for him
to go over my head

382
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:48,148
and grab one of these guys by the throat.

383
00:26:58,033 --> 00:27:01,245
We wanted
to depose Father Maskell...

384
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:05,165
but... he disappeared.

385
00:27:05,582 --> 00:27:09,086
He was taken out of his church,
but we weren't sure where he was.

386
00:27:10,087 --> 00:27:13,340
I just know that after the night
Bob Erlandson and I went to Mass,

387
00:27:13,423 --> 00:27:14,800
I never saw him again.

388
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:27,312
Somebody called me and said,
"Joe, he wasn't doing well."

389
00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:30,816
The question was, "Can you go see him?

390
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:35,529
Not as a psychologist, but as a friend?"

391
00:27:38,365 --> 00:27:42,703
I did go down to the rectory
where he was being housed.

392
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:46,540
He looked sick.

393
00:27:48,542 --> 00:27:53,797
He was reading these papers
that were accusing him of priest's abuse.

394
00:27:55,632 --> 00:27:58,260
The acts that were described
on the papers were...

395
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:00,387
I was in shock.

396
00:28:00,470 --> 00:28:06,143
I couldn't understand how anybody
who was religious could do those things.

397
00:28:07,853 --> 00:28:12,107
This was atypical of my friend Joe,
as I knew Joe.

398
00:28:19,448 --> 00:28:24,077
I remember asking him directly,
"Joe, how could you do these things?

399
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:27,372
How could you keep your silence with this?

400
00:28:27,456 --> 00:28:28,290
How could you?"

401
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,628
He didn't answer and I said,
"Do you think it's moral?"

402
00:28:37,090 --> 00:28:40,135
He told me that he thought it was moral

403
00:28:40,427 --> 00:28:43,096
because he was protecting the Church
at the time.

404
00:28:45,766 --> 00:28:49,353
I think the worst moral thing for Joe

405
00:28:49,436 --> 00:28:52,898
would have been to get the Church
in some kind of problem.

406
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:56,568
And that was the turning point for me.

407
00:28:58,028 --> 00:29:00,906
He was a very manipulative guy.

408
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:09,665
Maskell's attorney,

409
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:13,043
a man named Michael Lehane,
was a friend of his.

410
00:29:13,627 --> 00:29:16,171
And when we would ask him
where Maskell was,

411
00:29:16,630 --> 00:29:20,092
um, his response was that he had...
He was living in Ireland.

412
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:25,430
We have no idea
what he was doing in Ireland,

413
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:30,310
whether or not he was working
in some sort of religious facility,

414
00:29:30,394 --> 00:29:32,604
whether he had access to children there.

415
00:29:34,147 --> 00:29:36,191
That's all a bit of a mystery.

416
00:29:37,317 --> 00:29:40,195
Today, in Baltimore,
a pretrial hearing begins

417
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,406
in the case against Father Joseph Maskell.

418
00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:45,075
The new memories are really key here.

419
00:29:45,158 --> 00:29:48,745
That's because the statute of limitations
on alleged assaults

420
00:29:48,829 --> 00:29:52,874
that occurred more than 20 years ago
has long since expired.

421
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,795
But if the judge accepts
that the women only recently remembered

422
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:58,463
other instances of abuse,

423
00:29:58,547 --> 00:30:01,591
he could clear the way
for the case to go to trial.

424
00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:06,221
I think this was the first time anybody in
Maryland delved into recovered memories.

425
00:30:07,681 --> 00:30:13,103
The concept of recovered memories came out
in the '80s and were generally accepted.

426
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:18,692
I think at the time we filed our suit
in '94,

427
00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:21,361
28 states had ruled
they were gonna allow

428
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:23,697
recovered memory cases to go forward

429
00:30:24,239 --> 00:30:27,993
and only three states or something
in that neighborhood had said no.

430
00:30:29,870 --> 00:30:34,499
However, in the '90s,
there became a certain skepticism...

431
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:39,588
What you're seeing
is a therapy session of a young girl

432
00:30:40,005 --> 00:30:41,798
who remembered a gang rape.

433
00:30:42,049 --> 00:30:44,926
The only problem
is they never really happened.

434
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:49,056
She says these memories
were pure figments of her imagination

435
00:30:49,139 --> 00:30:50,932
that her therapist helped her create.

436
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:55,437
This past decade has seen a
skyrocketing number of molestation claims.

437
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,649
Adult children holding the
false belief that horrible sexual abuse

438
00:30:59,733 --> 00:31:01,360
occurred to them as children.

439
00:31:02,778 --> 00:31:05,364
You know, somebody may go
to a therapist and say,

440
00:31:05,447 --> 00:31:08,492
"I have trouble
with interpersonal relationships."

441
00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:11,370
They'll go, "Maybe you were abused,"

442
00:31:11,453 --> 00:31:14,623
and so you start planting
suggestive seeds, and then you...

443
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:17,542
You fabricate an entire fact pattern

444
00:31:17,626 --> 00:31:22,339
to fit something
that has no... veracity at all.

445
00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:26,343
And that hurt those people
who really did have a memory

446
00:31:26,426 --> 00:31:29,262
that they had repressed
and then recovered.

447
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:34,476
Two decades ago, a former chaplain
at Archbishop Keough High School,

448
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:36,812
stands accused,
but as John Riddell reports,

449
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:40,941
today's hearing rekindled a debate
over repressed memory.

450
00:31:41,024 --> 00:31:43,693
Today a psychiatrist testified
that one of the women

451
00:31:44,236 --> 00:31:46,363
suffers from posttraumatic
stress disorder.

452
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:50,242
It is a medical condition
in which painful memories of abuse

453
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:52,160
are suppressed for years.

454
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:00,001
Jane Doe...

455
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:05,173
her lawyers wrote and asked me
to consult with her.

456
00:32:08,343 --> 00:32:11,513
You have to say,
is this person credible or not credible?

457
00:32:12,681 --> 00:32:15,684
I did interview her, talked to her.

458
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:17,686
And I believed her.

459
00:32:19,813 --> 00:32:21,982
There are things
that have the ring of truth,

460
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:24,818
even if they're hard to believe.

461
00:32:25,652 --> 00:32:28,864
And, uh... she was believable to me.

462
00:32:31,241 --> 00:32:32,576
Thanks, heaps.

463
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:36,371
The defense,
they brought in Paul McHugh,

464
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:39,166
who is a heavy hitter
to bring into a courtroom.

465
00:32:39,249 --> 00:32:40,542
Can you hear me, by the way?

466
00:32:41,251 --> 00:32:43,086
Is my voice, uh, carrying?

467
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:46,381
My voice, my mother used to say,
shatters glass.

468
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:47,716
So, usually...

469
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:50,260
I mean... And he is a giant in the field.

470
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,182
In this arena, uh,
of the false memory phenomenon

471
00:32:55,265 --> 00:32:58,435
and the false memory syndrome,
and the recovered memory business,

472
00:32:58,518 --> 00:33:03,273
I believe... firmly,
that these are artifacts,

473
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:04,900
these are artificial productions.

474
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:09,863
And it's very important that we, uh...
we don't equivocate on this matter.

475
00:33:11,198 --> 00:33:13,408
Paul McHugh
is always on the Church side.

476
00:33:14,701 --> 00:33:16,786
He... He is a professional Catholic.

477
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:19,498
He's a man of high reputation.

478
00:33:19,581 --> 00:33:24,920
And he gets picked
as Mister Catholic Psychiatrist.

479
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:31,051
I was on the staff
of Hopkins at that time.

480
00:33:31,885 --> 00:33:33,303
Yeah, we were colleagues.

481
00:33:33,386 --> 00:33:37,682
He asked me specifically
about the case with Jane Doe...

482
00:33:38,183 --> 00:33:39,601
and what I thought.

483
00:33:41,895 --> 00:33:47,150
Part of all of the controversy
around sexual abuse of minors...

484
00:33:47,817 --> 00:33:51,029
has to do with the understanding
of trauma.

485
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:55,659
Some things we experience
are so unbearable and so painful,

486
00:33:56,451 --> 00:33:58,954
that we shut them out.

487
00:33:59,496 --> 00:34:01,998
The major systems
for protection of the self,

488
00:34:02,082 --> 00:34:05,043
the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal
fight-flight response,

489
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:07,629
the vagal response,
to play dead, to dissociate,

490
00:34:08,088 --> 00:34:10,632
to be, um... unaware of something,

491
00:34:10,924 --> 00:34:12,551
they'll come right into play.

492
00:34:13,134 --> 00:34:16,763
In order to pro...
protect the self from harm.

493
00:34:17,097 --> 00:34:20,392
Naturally, we know so much more
about this

494
00:34:20,725 --> 00:34:24,813
because of men and women
coming home from war

495
00:34:25,313 --> 00:34:28,525
and being traumatized and, uh...

496
00:34:28,608 --> 00:34:33,947
We have all sorts of knowledge now
about how the person handles those,

497
00:34:35,282 --> 00:34:36,866
how the brain handles those.

498
00:34:38,618 --> 00:34:41,788
So, I told McHugh that, yes,
I... I believed her story.

499
00:34:44,541 --> 00:34:46,960
And he dismissed the whole thing...

500
00:34:47,711 --> 00:34:51,423
because he dismissed
what he called false memory,

501
00:34:52,048 --> 00:34:53,842
and he felt that that was all...

502
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,595
made up.

503
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:07,606
In my mind he has a blind spot,

504
00:35:09,399 --> 00:35:12,527
and I will say that
with all due deference

505
00:35:12,819 --> 00:35:15,655
when you're criticizing somebody
who's that powerful.

506
00:35:18,908 --> 00:35:25,790
The defense, they never had
an expert actually examine our clients.

507
00:35:26,750 --> 00:35:30,545
Dr. McHugh, he just basically poo-pooed
the whole idea

508
00:35:30,629 --> 00:35:32,797
of repressed memory
and recovering memories.

509
00:35:32,881 --> 00:35:35,717
Somebody is always saying,
"Well, you haven't seen everybody."

510
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,302
I say, "No, I haven't seen everybody."

511
00:35:37,385 --> 00:35:40,597
But then again, I haven't been
at the upper tributaries of the Amazon

512
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,515
where there may be a unicorn after all.

513
00:35:44,726 --> 00:35:46,603
Uh, there may be one out there.

514
00:35:59,574 --> 00:36:01,576
It's been a real battle
of the experts today

515
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:03,495
on the case of repressed memory.

516
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:07,040
And now, the judge will hear testimony
from the alleged victims themselves.

517
00:36:11,378 --> 00:36:16,925
Going to court for the hearing
was, um, terrifying for me.

518
00:36:18,051 --> 00:36:20,053
I knew it was gonna be open court.

519
00:36:20,804 --> 00:36:25,558
My husband Randy had one arm
and my brother Mark had the other arm,

520
00:36:25,642 --> 00:36:28,728
and they would escort me
into the courthouse to...

521
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:30,105
To make me feel safe.

522
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:34,734
The feeling that I had
when I walked into that courtroom...

523
00:36:35,443 --> 00:36:38,196
I was ready to be devoured.

524
00:36:38,279 --> 00:36:40,949
There is really no demonstrated
scientific validity

525
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:45,120
to the theory of repressed memory.
Whether an event occurred,

526
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:47,706
whether an individual's description
of that event is reliable...

527
00:36:47,789 --> 00:36:51,626
Each and every one of those witnesses
will be subjected to investigation

528
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:53,378
and rigorous cross-examination.

529
00:36:53,461 --> 00:36:56,297
The credibility of their story
will be very much an issue.

530
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,595
I was scared of the lawyers at
that point. I couldn't even look at them.

531
00:37:04,305 --> 00:37:07,559
And my lawyers decided

532
00:37:08,226 --> 00:37:10,854
that I would just look at the judge

533
00:37:11,104 --> 00:37:13,982
and not look at the lawyers
as they questioned me.

534
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:20,989
It was, like, so many thoughts
going through my head...

535
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:24,951
but I just took the stand and...
And they questioned me.

536
00:37:27,036 --> 00:37:32,041
And one of the lawyers said,
"I request that this plaintiff looks at me

537
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:34,043
while I'm asking her questions."

538
00:37:36,212 --> 00:37:38,798
It felt as if at some point...

539
00:37:39,549 --> 00:37:42,427
that terrible terror of doing this...

540
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:46,473
s... turned into something else.

541
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:50,101
I just turned,
I stared him right in the eyes.

542
00:37:50,185 --> 00:37:52,145
It was this feeling of...

543
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:54,981
"Go ahead, ask me your questions."

544
00:37:57,525 --> 00:37:58,985
It was very brutal.

545
00:37:59,778 --> 00:38:03,823
They asked about the actual sexual acts.

546
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:08,328
I mean, after a while, I got to the point
where, "I don't give a damn.

547
00:38:08,411 --> 00:38:10,914
You ask me anything you want
because this happened,

548
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:14,209
and now the world's hearing it
and that's a good thing."

549
00:38:15,877 --> 00:38:18,797
Mike said to me later,
he was in, like, the front row.

550
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,715
And later... That's all he said to people.

551
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:25,220
He said, "I was so proud of her
when she just turned her head

552
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:29,557
and looked right at him, like,
"Go on, ask me your questions."

553
00:38:29,808 --> 00:38:32,310
And probably inside
what I was really thinking is,

554
00:38:32,393 --> 00:38:35,104
"Let's get this over with
'cause I gotta get out of here."

555
00:38:35,188 --> 00:38:36,564
You know? I mean, it's, like...

556
00:38:36,648 --> 00:38:40,068
But it was that feeling,
like, "I can do this."

557
00:38:41,152 --> 00:38:43,655
According to Jane Doe,
who testified yesterday,

558
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:46,991
not only was she raped by Maskell,
she also recalled an incident

559
00:38:47,075 --> 00:38:50,370
when Maskell allegedly took her
to see the body of Sister Cathy Cesnik,

560
00:38:50,453 --> 00:38:55,208
a nun, whom she said she confided in
and whose murder remains unsolved today.

561
00:38:56,084 --> 00:38:59,838
Now, police did interview that woman
about the murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik

562
00:38:59,921 --> 00:39:03,091
and they believe that she is not connected
in any way to the murder.

563
00:39:03,174 --> 00:39:06,553
They do not believe that what she saw
really was the body.

564
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:08,471
So, that crime really remains unsolved.

565
00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:11,140
However, the sexual abuse suits
against the archdiocese...

566
00:39:13,768 --> 00:39:15,645
The top one is my credentials.

567
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:17,188
My badge.

568
00:39:20,108 --> 00:39:21,317
Here's my retirement.

569
00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:26,281
Summation on my 38 years
in Baltimore County Police.

570
00:39:27,115 --> 00:39:30,410
Came on in 1955 and then retired in '92.

571
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,206
When the rumors started circulating
in the 1990s

572
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:37,417
about the sexual abuse at Keough,

573
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:39,711
what was your personal reaction to that?

574
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:42,213
I find it hard to believe.

575
00:39:43,464 --> 00:39:47,468
In our society,
they go for the deep pockets.

576
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:51,055
And once you open the door,
a flood could come in.

577
00:39:52,265 --> 00:39:53,683
I would say, prove it to me.

578
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:56,477
Not...

579
00:39:57,103 --> 00:39:58,646
Not with recalled memory.

580
00:39:59,439 --> 00:40:00,315
With facts.

581
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,945
Beyond a shadow of a doubt.

582
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:13,119
Did you ever have the opportunity
to talk with Maskell after it happened?

583
00:40:13,202 --> 00:40:15,121
After she was murdered?

584
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:17,582
No.
Like, guy-to-guy?

585
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:20,168
Would you say you had a good relationship?

586
00:40:20,251 --> 00:40:21,419
I would say so.
Yeah.

587
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:25,423
I was just curious 'cause he seemed to be
so involved with the police all the time.

588
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:27,800
He had a brother
with the police department.

589
00:40:27,884 --> 00:40:29,135
Right.
Yeah.

590
00:40:29,969 --> 00:40:31,763
When Cathy's body was found...

591
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:36,309
James Scannell was the first officer
on the scene.

592
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:42,899
I don't really think he sees
any connection between Cathy's death

593
00:40:42,982 --> 00:40:44,609
and the abuse at Keough.

594
00:40:45,151 --> 00:40:47,445
Plus, he was a personal friend
of Maskell's.

595
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:50,031
So, he clearly saw a different side
of the man...

596
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,866
Mm-hm.
...than others did.

597
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:53,993
Joe Maskell.

598
00:40:56,621 --> 00:40:58,247
He was a friend and fellow officer.

599
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:02,919
He was the chaplain of Baltimore County,
state police,

600
00:41:04,003 --> 00:41:05,254
and the Air National Guard.

601
00:41:06,047 --> 00:41:07,298
Yeah.

602
00:41:08,174 --> 00:41:09,717
He used to come in ride-alongs.

603
00:41:10,301 --> 00:41:13,471
He used to come down
and I'd let him shoot when I was working.

604
00:41:14,138 --> 00:41:15,807
We'd have a little target practice.

605
00:41:17,642 --> 00:41:18,476
I know he...

606
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:20,895
He had a friend in Dundalk.

607
00:41:21,521 --> 00:41:23,022
He went out on a boat with him.

608
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:27,068
In fact, I fished with him
on a couple occasions.

609
00:41:29,278 --> 00:41:32,240
So, when he has only good things
to say about Maskell,

610
00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:37,912
I think, "Was Maskell able to have
such a dual-sided personality

611
00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:40,915
that he could consistently flip
to be charming?"

612
00:41:41,249 --> 00:41:43,710
Or this guy must have seen
the other side of him.

613
00:41:44,961 --> 00:41:47,088
He wasn't... He wasn't a typical...

614
00:41:47,755 --> 00:41:48,756
you know, saint.

615
00:41:50,049 --> 00:41:51,426
I know if I got in a fight...

616
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:55,805
and he was riding with me as a chaplain,
he'd be there by my side.

617
00:41:56,723 --> 00:41:57,557
And, uh...

618
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,476
That's the type of individual he was.

619
00:42:01,436 --> 00:42:04,939
He's a priest, but I think he really
wanted to be a police like his brother.

620
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:07,066
He was just like...

621
00:42:07,775 --> 00:42:09,736
any other member of the police force
to me.

622
00:42:10,945 --> 00:42:13,531
Maybe he was a good guy
and had nothing to do with this.

623
00:42:13,614 --> 00:42:15,742
They had some beers, went out and fished.

624
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:17,660
And that was the extent of it.

625
00:42:17,744 --> 00:42:19,662
Um... I don't... I don't know.

626
00:42:22,623 --> 00:42:24,667
I don't think his name ever come up...

627
00:42:24,792 --> 00:42:27,003
until all that recalled memory come about.

628
00:42:28,963 --> 00:42:31,758
And, uh... that's when Maskell's name...

629
00:42:31,841 --> 00:42:34,677
That's when I started getting inquiries...

630
00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:37,096
about Sister Cesnik.

631
00:42:39,182 --> 00:42:41,934
But, you know, I...
I tried to be objective on...

632
00:42:42,018 --> 00:42:43,478
I think like a police.

633
00:42:47,607 --> 00:42:49,108
If I thought it was him...

634
00:42:50,109 --> 00:42:51,736
he wouldn't have been walking free.

635
00:42:52,987 --> 00:42:56,240
Because... I would've did
what I was supposed to do.

636
00:43:10,338 --> 00:43:12,256
At the time we filed our suit,

637
00:43:12,590 --> 00:43:15,176
Archbishop Keeler was up
to become a cardinal.

638
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:21,808
And we used to say this could interfere
with Keeler getting his red hat.

639
00:43:22,809 --> 00:43:24,811
This was real bad timing for him.

640
00:43:24,894 --> 00:43:27,980
Catholic bishops from across the country
are meeting in Washington.

641
00:43:28,064 --> 00:43:31,818
They're talking some explosive issues
like pedophile priests.

642
00:43:31,901 --> 00:43:36,072
The bishops' committee has recommended
the needs of victims should come first.

643
00:43:36,155 --> 00:43:38,241
Abuse victims are pleased
with the statement,

644
00:43:38,324 --> 00:43:42,286
but say the Catholic Church is notorious
for saying one thing and doing another.

645
00:43:44,705 --> 00:43:46,833
The pope was supposed to come to town.

646
00:43:48,793 --> 00:43:52,713
And I thought it was really neat
that our hearing came up

647
00:43:52,797 --> 00:43:54,549
right in the spring there,

648
00:43:54,966 --> 00:43:59,095
and that, um, people were interested.
People wanted to know what this was about.

649
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:05,810
I wanted to blow this thing wide open
and say this has got to stop.

650
00:44:06,811 --> 00:44:10,106
Today in Baltimore,
Judge Hilary Caplan is expected to rule

651
00:44:10,189 --> 00:44:13,067
in the Jane Doe lawsuit
against Father Joseph Maskell.

652
00:44:13,776 --> 00:44:17,613
When... When we filed our lawsuit,
we felt like if we could get to...

653
00:44:17,697 --> 00:44:20,783
If we could get our case to a jury
and we could march in

654
00:44:20,867 --> 00:44:24,412
witness after witness after witness
after witness after witness,

655
00:44:24,537 --> 00:44:28,624
that we had a very good chance
of having a favorable result.

656
00:44:34,297 --> 00:44:35,798
And we never got there.

657
00:44:37,091 --> 00:44:41,220
Their request to file
a $40 million civil suit has been denied.

658
00:44:41,304 --> 00:44:44,599
Judge Hilary Caplan ruled
the case did not meet criteria

659
00:44:44,682 --> 00:44:48,311
for waiving the three-year statute
of limitations for such suits.

660
00:44:50,897 --> 00:44:52,565
So, I think we have, um,

661
00:44:52,648 --> 00:44:56,485
the two plaintiffs who are very confused,
very disturbed,

662
00:44:56,569 --> 00:44:59,155
and who have brought this action, um,

663
00:44:59,238 --> 00:45:03,826
not out of malice,
but, uh, out of confusion, distortion.

664
00:45:04,410 --> 00:45:07,705
And, uh, I think it's appropriate
for the court to dismiss this case

665
00:45:07,788 --> 00:45:09,165
under the circumstances.

666
00:45:10,249 --> 00:45:14,962
But how can one reasonably expect
a witness in a... a case of this type

667
00:45:15,046 --> 00:45:19,800
to testify to events that took place
20 to 25 years ago with accuracy?

668
00:45:20,593 --> 00:45:22,845
We never got our day in court.

669
00:45:23,346 --> 00:45:26,724
Losing on the statute of limitations
was a technicality

670
00:45:27,266 --> 00:45:30,394
that the Church ran with
and got this thing thrown out.

671
00:45:32,688 --> 00:45:36,692
The judge at the time said,
"Let the chips fall where they may,

672
00:45:36,776 --> 00:45:40,988
but the statute holds
and these women came too late."

673
00:45:43,699 --> 00:45:47,245
The Archdiocese
and the Catholic Church are a business.

674
00:45:47,370 --> 00:45:51,749
It was all about making these women
who were damaged

675
00:45:51,832 --> 00:45:54,752
look... uncredible.

676
00:45:58,839 --> 00:46:00,800
Archbishop Keeler got his red hat.

677
00:46:05,554 --> 00:46:07,598
They're still down on Cathedral Street.

678
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:12,186
Life goes on.

679
00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:17,566
It's just that we now know
so much more about memory.

680
00:46:18,901 --> 00:46:23,155
It's scientifically accepted
that memories can be compartmentalized

681
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,283
and... And not known to the conscious ego.

682
00:46:27,243 --> 00:46:31,330
I think Jane Doe was a victim
of bad timing.

683
00:46:32,331 --> 00:46:35,251
And Paul McHugh, or any of us,

684
00:46:35,334 --> 00:46:38,879
who used our blind spots
in the judgments of others...

685
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:41,465
can certainly do harm.

686
00:46:45,094 --> 00:46:47,138
I felt like I wish
I had never done that.

687
00:46:49,306 --> 00:46:51,517
Because everything
that I originally thought

688
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,229
when I took the first step,
now I've lost everything.

689
00:46:57,398 --> 00:46:58,733
I lost my faith.

690
00:46:59,859 --> 00:47:02,486
I lost a sense of where I belonged.

691
00:47:04,196 --> 00:47:08,784
And my family,
it was like they were excommunicated.

692
00:47:08,868 --> 00:47:10,828
You know, as if it were like...

693
00:47:11,996 --> 00:47:13,414
someone cut a cord.

694
00:47:14,999 --> 00:47:17,960
I felt that the Church was saying

695
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:20,546
that I should never have opened
my damn mouth,

696
00:47:22,173 --> 00:47:24,633
that I was supposed to keep the secret,

697
00:47:24,717 --> 00:47:27,470
that I was supposed to stay silent.

698
00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:32,224
And that's what I did...

699
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:34,518
until now...

700
00:47:36,562 --> 00:47:37,688
20-some years later.

701
00:47:55,998 --> 00:47:59,502
Hi. How are you?
Hello, dear. Good to see you.

702
00:47:59,585 --> 00:48:00,795
Good. You, too.

703
00:48:02,546 --> 00:48:03,881
So, the reunion was fun.

704
00:48:04,423 --> 00:48:06,801
We had the Archbishop Keough 45th Reunion.

705
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:08,469
Oh, I didn't go to that one, yeah.

706
00:48:08,552 --> 00:48:09,553
On Saturday.

707
00:48:10,930 --> 00:48:13,057
You said you talked
to a couple survivors?

708
00:48:13,140 --> 00:48:14,600
Yup.
That you knew or they...?

709
00:48:14,683 --> 00:48:16,769
That we know. Yeah, that we know.
Okay.

710
00:48:16,852 --> 00:48:21,065
Statistics say only three to five percent
of abuse victims will ever talk of it.

711
00:48:21,148 --> 00:48:23,567
They're more likely to talk of it
as they get older...

712
00:48:23,651 --> 00:48:25,069
That many in their 40s

713
00:48:25,486 --> 00:48:29,740
begin to have more
psychological difficulties ignoring it.

714
00:48:30,241 --> 00:48:31,242
So, we don't know...

715
00:48:32,326 --> 00:48:37,623
how many students in total
he had inappropriate contact with.

716
00:48:38,124 --> 00:48:40,918
Um, we know the amount...
The number that have come forward.

717
00:48:41,001 --> 00:48:44,296
We're sure there are more out there.
But they are still coming forward.

718
00:48:44,380 --> 00:48:46,924
People are hearing through alumni meetings

719
00:48:47,007 --> 00:48:50,511
and applying to join the Facebook group
and reaching out.

720
00:48:50,845 --> 00:48:53,556
They're not looking at this
through a child's eyes anymore.

721
00:48:53,639 --> 00:48:56,058
They have wisdom, experience, families...
Yeah.

722
00:48:56,142 --> 00:48:57,810
...grandchildren, and they're like...

723
00:48:58,352 --> 00:49:00,146
They... They want their life back.

724
00:49:01,897 --> 00:49:05,985
In September of 2013,
people wanted to talk about it more.

725
00:49:06,068 --> 00:49:07,778
Victims wanted to talk to each other,

726
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:10,781
people who didn't know
wanted to find out what had happened.

727
00:49:10,865 --> 00:49:14,160
So, we started the Justice for
Catherine Cesnik and Joyce Malecki page.

728
00:49:15,286 --> 00:49:17,037
And it just sort of snowballed.

729
00:49:19,123 --> 00:49:21,750
The Facebook movement
is a very grassroots movement

730
00:49:21,834 --> 00:49:25,421
that is led by some very strong women

731
00:49:25,504 --> 00:49:27,756
doing their own detective work,

732
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,467
doing the work
that the police should have done.

733
00:49:32,469 --> 00:49:35,973
In 1994, Jane Doe and Jane Roe...

734
00:49:36,223 --> 00:49:40,769
I saw how they were shut down
by everybody of authority.

735
00:49:42,021 --> 00:49:44,481
It's been so many years since that...

736
00:49:45,608 --> 00:49:49,445
Gemma and Abbie,
they started that Facebook page

737
00:49:49,528 --> 00:49:51,614
and I think they got, uh...

738
00:49:53,115 --> 00:49:55,826
They got more
than they bargained for, I think.

739
00:49:58,621 --> 00:50:00,998
It's not just the investigation.

740
00:50:02,166 --> 00:50:06,420
It's become a network
for a lot of abuse survivors.

741
00:50:07,421 --> 00:50:09,840
Where before,
everybody was separated and afraid,

742
00:50:10,633 --> 00:50:13,177
people are now talking together.

743
00:50:14,345 --> 00:50:18,474
And where something may have seemed
insignificant at the time,

744
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:20,601
um, has relevance now.

745
00:50:21,894 --> 00:50:27,900
I think it's very telling to see
retired Keough grads in their 60s,

746
00:50:27,983 --> 00:50:31,028
a bunch of women getting together
to try to solve this.

747
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:37,243
Where... Where everyone else has failed us,
they failed Sister Cathy.

748
00:50:38,118 --> 00:50:40,829
I want justice for all of this.

749
00:50:44,792 --> 00:50:48,921
Teresa Lancaster came forward
on our Facebook page of survivors

750
00:50:49,004 --> 00:50:51,173
and said, "I'm Jane Roe."

751
00:50:51,966 --> 00:50:54,134
And the reaction she got was like...

752
00:50:54,218 --> 00:50:57,137
It brought tears to my eyes
because all her friends

753
00:50:57,221 --> 00:51:01,058
just wrote, like, one-liners,
like, "We had no idea."

754
00:51:01,141 --> 00:51:05,145
"Thank you for finding us."
It just was overwhelming.

755
00:51:18,867 --> 00:51:20,661
After my lawsuit,

756
00:51:20,744 --> 00:51:24,999
I wanted to prove to myself
that I did have a brain

757
00:51:25,249 --> 00:51:27,710
and that I could do something
with my life.

758
00:51:28,377 --> 00:51:30,587
So, I went back to school.

759
00:51:34,717 --> 00:51:37,303
I made a little study for her
down in the basement.

760
00:51:37,386 --> 00:51:38,762
There was a bed in there also.

761
00:51:38,846 --> 00:51:42,474
When it was before a big test,
she would stay down there all night long

762
00:51:42,558 --> 00:51:45,477
and finally crawl into that bed
and go to sleep maybe six in the morning.

763
00:51:46,145 --> 00:51:49,606
It was very impressive for someone
to take courses that hard

764
00:51:49,690 --> 00:51:52,526
while she was raising four kids,
cooking them dinner,

765
00:51:52,609 --> 00:51:53,777
tucking them in at night.

766
00:51:54,653 --> 00:51:57,948
In your middle or late 40s,
that's not an easy thing to do.

767
00:52:00,117 --> 00:52:03,787
I became a lawyer when I was 49.

768
00:52:04,371 --> 00:52:06,915
Teresa wasn't doing all this
to make a lot of money.

769
00:52:07,666 --> 00:52:10,169
She was doing all this
to help people that needed help.

770
00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:11,628
...peacefully.

771
00:52:11,712 --> 00:52:15,007
This is a much more aggressive tactic
than the police used last night.

772
00:52:15,090 --> 00:52:16,925
And you can see one person, she...

773
00:52:17,009 --> 00:52:20,512
She engaged in this civil disobedience
because it was...

774
00:52:20,596 --> 00:52:24,850
Over the past week, there's
been protests going on in Baltimore

775
00:52:24,933 --> 00:52:29,938
to try to get to the bottom
of how Freddie Gray was indeed murdered

776
00:52:30,022 --> 00:52:32,608
when he was taken by the police.

777
00:52:32,816 --> 00:52:35,402
Your neck just doesn't break by itself.

778
00:52:56,965 --> 00:52:58,967
I've lived in Baltimore all my life.

779
00:53:00,094 --> 00:53:03,097
I remember the riots of 1968.

780
00:53:04,223 --> 00:53:07,226
And still, there is no change.

781
00:53:09,144 --> 00:53:11,855
...the result of something
that would constitute a crime,

782
00:53:11,939 --> 00:53:13,315
then the people who did that...

783
00:53:13,399 --> 00:53:16,610
Last year, I represented a young black boy

784
00:53:16,693 --> 00:53:20,614
who was just shuffling his pockets
around on the corner

785
00:53:20,697 --> 00:53:23,409
and he got arrested for drugs.

786
00:53:24,284 --> 00:53:27,413
I realized that there's a lot of people
in the police department

787
00:53:27,496 --> 00:53:29,915
that are good and are laying their lives
on the line,

788
00:53:29,998 --> 00:53:32,084
and I very much thank them for that.

789
00:53:33,544 --> 00:53:36,380
But all he had in his pocket
was some change.

790
00:53:38,257 --> 00:53:40,968
I did get that thrown out, but I told him,

791
00:53:41,051 --> 00:53:44,221
you have to stay off the corners
in Baltimore

792
00:53:44,304 --> 00:53:46,390
and not look suspicious.

793
00:53:46,473 --> 00:53:50,310
And... And how do you explain that
to a young... a young boy,

794
00:53:50,394 --> 00:53:55,524
not to look suspicious, you know?
It's just really not fair at all.

795
00:53:58,444 --> 00:53:59,445
We're tired of this.

796
00:54:00,737 --> 00:54:02,197
We're tired of the brutalities.

797
00:54:02,281 --> 00:54:04,908
We're tired of the pains.
We are tired of the lies.

798
00:54:04,992 --> 00:54:06,118
We want the truth.

799
00:54:06,618 --> 00:54:10,247
Y'all don't understand?
Y'all don't hear our voice? We are tired.

800
00:54:13,625 --> 00:54:14,877
Where is the justice?

801
00:54:53,081 --> 00:54:59,213
See, I didn't know
who Jane Doe was before this past year.

802
00:55:01,215 --> 00:55:03,300
I have not spent time with her.

803
00:55:04,468 --> 00:55:06,929
She is not one to seek the spotlight.

804
00:55:07,513 --> 00:55:09,973
I don't think
she would be really comfortable...

805
00:55:10,891 --> 00:55:15,646
spearheading a movement to...
to find Sister Cathy's killer.

806
00:55:17,189 --> 00:55:21,109
But Jane is the link
between Joseph Maskell,

807
00:55:21,193 --> 00:55:24,780
the abuse at Keough,
and Cathy Cesnik's murder.

808
00:55:26,073 --> 00:55:27,616
This is really her story.

809
00:55:36,291 --> 00:55:40,420
When the Facebook group started,
when the two ladies decided

810
00:55:40,504 --> 00:55:43,257
they were just going
to start a conversation

811
00:55:43,340 --> 00:55:45,551
about the death of Cathy Cesnik...

812
00:55:47,302 --> 00:55:48,887
I waited.

813
00:55:52,391 --> 00:55:57,104
Back in 1992, '93, I was using my voice
and I thought it was going somewhere.

814
00:55:59,690 --> 00:56:01,900
And instead, they silenced it.

815
00:56:06,989 --> 00:56:11,076
I've never been a part
of the Justice for Cathy Facebook group.

816
00:56:12,452 --> 00:56:17,541
Even though it's a positive,
legitimizing community,

817
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:21,211
I'm actually very scared
to be in that conversation.

818
00:56:22,546 --> 00:56:26,466
Because I don't remember a whole lot
about the other classmates.

819
00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:34,182
I'm afraid someone will remember something
about me that I don't remember.

820
00:56:39,771 --> 00:56:43,442
And there's an awful lot
that I still don't remember.

821
00:56:51,825 --> 00:56:53,827
You know, when you go back
to that question:

822
00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:55,370
"Why didn't you tell somebody?"

823
00:56:58,165 --> 00:57:02,252
I probably have beaten myself up
on some level for a very long time...

824
00:57:02,836 --> 00:57:04,212
that I didn't.

825
00:57:07,841 --> 00:57:11,928
I never wanted to look at what I did
when I was 16, 17 in the senior year.

826
00:57:12,846 --> 00:57:16,391
I never wanted to look at what I did
after Cathy was killed.

827
00:57:19,353 --> 00:57:24,566
I often wonder what was Maskell doing
that he would let me leave that school

828
00:57:24,650 --> 00:57:26,777
and believe
that I would never say anything?

829
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:31,949
That... That wasn't just... I repressed it.
I think some of it was purposely done.

830
00:57:39,081 --> 00:57:44,503
There is one memory I can't look at.

831
00:57:46,797 --> 00:57:50,050
One person I don't wanna go anywhere near.

832
00:58:12,155 --> 00:58:16,159
Brother Bob was a man
who had been in the room before.

833
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,958
He was the one that Maskell needed
to keep... Keep reining him in.

834
00:58:26,586 --> 00:58:28,547
So Maskell leaves the room.

835
00:58:30,590 --> 00:58:33,051
My protector standing by the door
was gone.

836
00:58:35,637 --> 00:58:41,226
And Brother Bob,
he proceeds to tell me that, um...

837
00:58:42,227 --> 00:58:44,104
That he killed Cathy Cesnik,

838
00:58:44,646 --> 00:58:45,856
that he didn't want to.

839
00:58:46,606 --> 00:58:48,859
But she was gonna go to the police.

840
00:58:50,736 --> 00:58:54,781
And he tells me
it's my fault that she is dead,

841
00:58:55,490 --> 00:58:58,160
that she was the good person, I was not.

842
00:58:59,828 --> 00:59:01,204
And it should've been me.

843
00:59:04,082 --> 00:59:07,711
And, so, then he rapes me
and Maskell comes in.

844
00:59:08,378 --> 00:59:11,923
Then he says to Brother Bob,
"Well, did you take care of it?

845
00:59:12,007 --> 00:59:14,301
Is she going to stay quiet?"

846
00:59:14,885 --> 00:59:18,346
And he says, "Yes,
she's not gonna tell anybody anything."

847
00:59:22,100 --> 00:59:26,688
And to this day,
I'm more terrified of Brother Bob

848
00:59:27,397 --> 00:59:30,650
than I have ever been of Joseph Maskell,

849
00:59:32,903 --> 00:59:35,781
because I don't know
who this Brother Bob is.

850
00:59:37,574 --> 00:59:40,577
I don't remember the man's face.

851
00:59:43,997 --> 00:59:47,042
And I have no idea
if he's still out there and alive.

852
00:59:52,547 --> 00:59:56,426
The mystery of Brother Bob looms large.

853
00:59:57,260 --> 00:59:58,428
I do believe she...

854
00:59:59,012 --> 01:00:02,766
She knows more than she might even know
she knows herself.

855
01:00:05,435 --> 01:00:07,562
Who killed Sister Cathy?

856
01:00:09,689 --> 01:00:11,983
Why Sister Cathy was killed.

857
01:00:14,069 --> 01:00:16,947
The key to the puzzle
could be in the question:

858
01:00:18,115 --> 01:00:19,449
"Who is Brother Bob?"
