NAVAJO, N.M. (KRQE) - The FBI says one person has been arrested in the death of a nun on the Navajo reservation.

The arrest was made early Thursday morning in the town of Navajo.

FBI spokesperson Darrin Jones did not release any further details on the arrest, but said he plans to release more information early Thursday afternoon.

Sister Marguerite Bartz was found dead in her home in Navajo on Sunday after she failed to show up for Mass.

An autopsy showed she died after a violent confrontation with her attacker.

Her car was later found in eastern Arizona and brought to Albuquerque for processing.

The Diocese of Gallup said Thursday it will make a statement on the arrest after the FBI releases more information.

This page will be updated with further details as they become available.
