NAVAJO, N.M. (CBS/AP) It was the day after Halloween in a small community on the Navajo Indian reservation near the Arizona-New Mexico border and Sister Marguerite Bartz failed to show up to Sunday Mass.

A colleague went to check on her and discovered the 64-year-old nun dead in her residence, the FBI said Monday.

Investigators believe Bartz was killed sometime between Halloween night and Sunday morning, but FBI Special Agent Darrin Jones said he could not disclose any details about how she died.
