Summary

In this haunting episode of Foul Play: Crime Series, titled "Sister Cathy, Echoes of a Premonition," hosts Shane and Gemma, along with their friends Wendy and Gray, revisit the chilling and unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik. As a beloved figure at Western High School in Baltimore City, Cathy's disappearance and subsequent murder have long cast a shadow over the community. Shane and Gemma probe the perplexing details of the case, including a startling revelation from Juliana, a former student, who shares her eerie dream that mirrored the events of Cathy's abduction.

As they peel back the layers of this decades-old mystery, the team discusses the frustrating twists and turns of the investigation, touching upon the potential mishandling of evidence and the possibility that corrupt law enforcement officials may have intentionally derailed the quest for truth. The implications are dire: a killer left unchallenged, and a network of silence safeguarding the guilty.

The depth of the darkness surrounding Sister Cathy's story is immeasurable, but Shane and Gemma, inspired by Gemma Hoskins' relentless pursuit of justice as seen in the Netflix documentary series "The Keepers," remain committed to revealing the darkest corners of this case. With careful attention to the facts and an empathetic narrative, they hope to honor Sister Cathy's memory and support the survivors of abuse.Listeners are invited to join the investigation and contribute their thoughts at itsfoulplay.com, where every clue and conversation sparks a greater effort to find answers in the silence left behind. Stay tuned as we explore the intersections of dream and reality, and confront the shadows of the past in our search for justice. Join us in this profound journey into the heart of Baltimore's most profound mystery.

0:00.0	I'm going to Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Today I have Jema of course but we also have two new people who are going to be joining us.
0:37.4	We have Wendy and Gray both who are joining us from California. Hi, Wendy and Gray.
0:44.0	Hello.
0:45.0	Today, listeners, I'm going to share some information that you've been asking about.
0:49.0	So if we do this again, and you would like to be part of the conversation let
0:53.4	Shane or myself know and we can make sure we include you next time.
0:58.0	So anyway, an individual in the Keepers that everybody has asked about is the student that sister
1:06.3	Kathy had in the public school called Western High School who spoke to Kathy the afternoon before Kathy disappeared. Her name is
1:16.5	Juliana Pertoldi Farrell. She and I have become quite good friends because we both agree politically about most things and
1:25.7	because of the keepers.
1:27.6	I had a conversation with Juliana last week and invited her to be our guest and she said she would be happy to share and
1:36.1	clarify information about that day and herself but she would prefer not to actually
1:42.2	speak on a recording. So she wrote me a statement and I'm

2:06.6	Polly High School, which was the school for boys, and Western was the school for girls, although they were both public schools.
2:14.7	Contrary to popular opinion on the series,
2:18.6	Julieta did not wear a uniform.
2:21.6	She did have a dress code. I think she told me no pants. They had to wear dresses
2:26.7	or skirts every day which is actually kind of funny. And the building that you saw in the Keepers that when we're talking about
2:36.6	Julianna that is the front of Western High School. The filmmakers were not able to film inside the building just like Keo. So that part might be like a little bit of Hollywood, but that building there was not Keo. It was Western. So what I'd like to read to you is the
