Sister Marguerite was found dead in her convent after not showing up for Mass
​The case seems eerily similar to a murder two weeks ago, when New Jersey Priest Ed Hinds didn't show up for Mass and parishioners found him murdered in the church rectory. This time, it was Sister Marguerite Bartz who didn't show up for Mass. A colleague checked on her and found her dead in her convent.

Bartz worked in a remote area of a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. Sometime between Halloween night and Sunday morning Mass, someone broke into her home and murdered her. No details have been released on her killing, but police say the place was burglarized and her car was stolen.

The FBI is looking for her beige 2005 HONDA CR-V with New Jersey license plate NF24821. More details on this story has they become available.
