On a frigid day in November
1969, Father Joseph Maskell, the chaplain of Archbishop Keough High
School in Baltimore, called a student into his office and suggested they
go for a drive. When the final bell rang at 2:40 p.m., Jean Hargadon
Wehner, a 16-year-old junior at the all-girls Catholic school, followed
the priest to the parking lot and climbed into the passenger seat of his
light blue Buick Roadmaster.
It was not unusual for Maskell to give students rides home or take them to doctor's appointments during the school day. The burly, charismatic priest, then 30 years old, had been the chief spiritual and psychological counselor at Keough for two years and was well-known in the community. Annual tuition at Keough was just $200, which attracted working-class families in deeply Catholic southwest Baltimore who couldn't afford to send their daughters to fancier private schools. Many Keough parents had attended Maskell’s Sunday masses
