Navajo Nation authorities previously identified Tolth as a person of interest, and federal prosecutors confirmed Friday that shoe prints found between the two homes matched shoes belonging to Tolth. Tolth told federal agents during a series of interviews that he “snapped” and struck Begay in the face multiple times, causing her to bleed from the nose and mouth.
