‘The Keepers’: FBI to exhume body of 1969 unsolved murder victim
Global News – December 14, 2023
The FBI is planning to exhume the body of a 20-year-old woman whose unsolved 1969 killing has been the subject of widespread speculation, and was featured in Netflix true crime docuseries The Keepers.
The 2017 docuseries focused on the slaying of a Baltimore nun days before Joyce Malecki was found dead, but raised questions about whether the two deaths were linked, as they unfolded under eerily similar circumstances.
Malecki, a young woman from the Baltimore area, was Christmas shopping in November 1969 when she vanished from a suburban mall. Days later, she was found dead inside a military base, nearby Fort Meade. An autopsy determined she had been strangled to death.

Delays are blamed on claim reviews, interviews, and late submissions, leaving many victims frustrated by poor communication and the lengthy process.
