Nun Found Murdered

Richard Longoria

NAVAJO, N.M. (AP) - A nun has been found dead in her residence
at a church in a community on the Navajo Indian reservation near
the Arizona-New Mexico border.
     
The FBI says 64-year-old Sister Marguerite Bartz failed to show
up to Sunday Mass and a colleague who went to check on her
discovered her body.
     
Investigators believe Bartz was killed between Halloween night
and Sunday morning.
     
Authorities and officials with the Diocese of Gallup say they're
not sure whether Bartz or the church were the target, or if the
attack was random.
     
The diocese says Bartz entered the order in 1966 from Beaumont,
Texas, and professed final vows in 1974. She ministered in
Massachusetts, Louisiana and in several communities around New
Mexico before ending up at the reservation church in 1999.

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
