A 45-year-old Glendale man has been arrested in connection with the death of a woman whose body was found in his apartment last week, police said Thursday.

Paul Thomas was arrested Tuesday and arraigned Thursday in Glendale Municipal Court on murder charges. Police were called to Thomas' residence on North Adams Street at 3:21 p.m. last Friday where they discovered the body of the woman, said Glendale police spokesman Chahe Keuroghelian.

The woman has been identified as Nancy Ross, 43, of Burbank by Scott Carrier, a spokesman with the Los Angeles County coroner's office. He said the autopsy report has not been completed.

A Burbank Police Department spokesman would not comment on the case Thursday, but confirmed that Burbank police did receive a missing persons report which "may be connected to a murder investigation in Glendale."
