Glendale couple had history of violence
Witnesses recall physical fighting between a 24-year-old Glendale woman, who was found dead in the trunk of her boyfriend's car, and her boyfriend, who is now a suspect in connection with her death, police said.
Police were never called to intervene between Odet Tsaturyan and Artur Khanzadyan, 24, of Glendale, during their off-and-on, yearlong relationship, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. But witnesses have told police they have seen the couple get physical and throw punches when they argued, he said.
Both Tsaturyan and Khanzadyan were last seen on Sept. 6 as she left for a party, but never arrived. Her body was found Friday in the trunk of Khanzadyan's 2005 Audi in Azusa.
Tsaturyan's 2002 Honda Civic was found Tuesday parked on Paula Avenue in Glendale. Bloodhounds from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department tracked scents from the car back to Khanzadyan's home on the 1900 block of West Glenoaks Boulevard.
Khanzadyan, who had also been reported missing, was initially sought as a "person of interest" in the case. But with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office determining Tsaturyan's death to be a homicide and the bloodhounds leading detectives from Tsaturyan's car to Khanzadyan's home, he is now considered a suspect.
"We think he's still in the country and that's why we're pushing so hard with the local media," Lorenz said.
Even though Tsaturyan's death has been ruled a homicide, the coroner's office has not yet determined the cause of death, authorities said.
Glendale Police has received hundreds of calls with tips and information about the couple, Lorenz said.
"There has been an outpouring of support to the family and to the Police Department," he said in a statement. "The detectives have received numerous calls from the local community with information. It is reassuring that our local community has faith in our ability to solve the murder and bring the responsible person to justice. I would have to say, we have had more support in this case from the community, than any other in the recent past."
If anyone has information about this case, they are asked to call Glendale Police Department homicide detectives at (818) 548-3987 Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. or (818) 548-4911, 24 hours a day.
