Accidental Voicemail Links Friend to Texas Flight Attendant’s Suspected Killing, Police Say

Detectives say the recording corroborates a cover-up during an ongoing search for Rana Nofal Soluri’s remains.

Overview

  • Dennis William Day, 66, is charged with murder after allegedly confessing to strangling his roommate, Rana Nofal Soluri, and is jailed on $250,000 bail, according to NBC News.
  • An inadvertent voicemail on Joni Thomas’s phone allegedly captured voices moving a heavy object and instructions like “Make sure the lid’s on,” leading to her arrest on a tampering charge; the 62-year-old was released on bond.
  • Home surveillance from March 21 shows a man police identify as Day dragging what appears to be a lifeless body from the Fort Worth residence into the backyard.
  • Investigators say Day described placing Soluri’s body in a large trash bin, transporting it about 70 miles to Bowie, and dumping it off a bridge; her phone later pinged in the area and her gun was recovered.
  • Authorities have not located Soluri’s remains despite searches near Bowie bridges, and the investigation remains active.
