Adrian Thomas sentenced to life in prison for killing Pewaukee woman, Joanne Curley

HARTFORD, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A 27-year-old Hartford man was sentenced to life in prison for killing a Pewaukee woman and then squatting in her condominium. 

Adrian Thomas was living in Joanne Curley's attic, and when she came home unexpectedly, he strangled her to death. 

Last year, Curley's roommate and landlord made a grisly discovery in the basement -- Curley's body was in a garbage bag, wrapped in a tarp.

Thomas pleaded no contest to first degree intentional homicide.
