NAVAJO, N.M. (KRQE) - Investigators have found the car belonging to a nun murdered on the Navajo reservation.

Sister Marguerite Bartz, 64, was found Sunday morning in her convent home in Navajo about 40 miles northwest of Gallup. A colleague found Bartz's body Sunday morning after going to check on her when she failed to appear for Mass.

Investigators believe she was killed sometime between Halloween night and Sunday morning.

The FBI says her car was found in Arizona but they didn't say exactly where.

Authorities are waiting on autopsy results to determine exactly how Sister Bartz died.

Anyone with information on this case or if you talked to Sister Bartz on Halloween night, please can contact the FBI at (505) 889-1300 or the Navajo Nation tribal police at 928-871-6111 or 928-871-6112
