ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Federal agents have made an arrest in connection with the slaying of a nun on the Navajo Indian reservation in New Mexico.
The body of 64-year-old Sister Marguerite Bartz was discovered in her home after she didn't show up as scheduled for Sunday Mass.
Investigators offered few details on Thursday's arrest, but said the suspect would be held overnight.
Diocese officials say the community has questions about whether the crime could have been the result of a robbery, if it was gang-related or possibly connected to a break-in at the parish last month.
Parishioners said Bartz served Navajo and surrounding communities for a decade and had success converting people through her work.
