MD MD - Grace 'Gay' Montanye, 16, Baltimore, 29 Sept 1971

Authorities are investigating whether or not the murder of 16-year-old Grace Elizabeth "Gay" Montanye is connected somehow to the murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, the murdered nun featured on Netflix's The Keepers. She is one of three attractive, similar-looking girls who were visiting shopping malls just like Cathy Cesnik just before they were abducted and were later found murdered.

CASE SUMMARY:

Murder victim Baltimore City. Miss Montanye was a cheerleader in her junior year at Franklin Sr. High School. She apparently met someone about a modeling job and was found beaten to death over 30 miles from her home. She was found behind the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Westport, Baltimore City. She had been a finalist in the upcoming Miss Reisterstown Teen Queen Pageant.

In a recent reddit AMA, Ryan White, Director of The Keepers, commented on the case of Grace Montanye:

“One case that we did document for the series but didn't end up making the final cut is the murder in 1971 of a young girl in Baltimore named Grace Montanye,” White said. “We worked closely with her family and they were lovely and the murder is tragic and compelling on many levels -- I hope there can be some follow-up and closure on that case as well.”

Are there any locals out there that knew Grace or her family? Does anyone remember any other details about this case?

So little information available on this case.

So I have been working on seeing is any of these cases connect. Please view my video on youtube:

My father went to school with Gay. I often think of her. I wish her murder would be solved.
