S2 Ep2: Sister Cathy, Schmidt Family Shadows

Episode two of our investigative series, "Sister Cathy: Schmidt Family Shadows," finds hosts Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins engaging in a poignant dialogue with Sharon Schmidt. In an intimate discussion, Sharon opens up about her family's proximity to a chilling nexus of unanswered questions and untimely deaths, with her uncle living just across from Sister Cathy Cesnik when she met her untimely end. As if torn from the pages of a novel, Sharon recounts the perplexing circumstances that shroud her family in mystery. With one unsolved murder casting a long shadow over their lives, the occurrence of a second tragedy just years later bends the arc of coincidence into a circle of suspicion. We explore the disturbing thought: Could there be a link between these two dark chapters in the Schmidt family history? This episode peers into the complexities and potential connections in these cases, examining the impact of Sister Cathy's murder on those who lived in the orbit of its intrigue. Sharon's testimony adds depth to our understanding of the time and raises crucial questions about the possibility of overlapping motives or a shared perpetrator. Together with Shane and Gemma, our listeners are invited to scrutinize the fragments of the past that Sharon brings to the table. Through a careful analysis of the Schmidt family's reflections, we delve deeper into the layers of a narrative that has, for too long, been deprived of clarity. As "The Keepers" laid the groundwork for this in-depth exploration, our series continues to expand on the revelations and insights that have emerged since. In this ongoing journey to piece together the truth, we uncover the stark reality that sometimes the most telling stories arise not from what is known, but from what remains hidden in plain sight.
