Remains Confirmed to Be Murdered Fort Worth Flight Attendant, Police Say
Investigators say he confessed to choking Rana Nofal Soluri after an argument and dumping her body off a bridge, while a second suspect faces tampering charges.
- Dennis William Day, 67, faces murder charges for the death of Rana Nofal Soluri, a 47-year-old flight attendant whose remains were discovered by a fisherman beneath a bridge in Montague County, Texas.
- After Soluri went missing around March 19, 2025, Day admitted to police that he "snapped" during a dispute and "began to strangle her with his bare hands" on the kitchen floor, according to arrest documents.
- Investigators revealed Joni Thomas, 63, helped Day transport the body, citing an "inadvertent call" and security footage from March 21 showing Day dragging "what appears to be a lifeless body from the home into the backyard."
- American Airlines assisted in flying Soluri's remains to Seattle for a Muslim burial on September 29, and her daughter, Lulu Soluri, plans to release a statement during an October court date in Texas, a GoFundMe update said.
- DNA testing recently confirmed the remains belonged to Soluri, providing prosecutors with key evidence as both Day and Thomas's murder and tampering cases remain pending in Texas, according to court documents.
