Overview
- Joni Thomas, 62, was arrested on Aug. 26 on a tampering-with-evidence charge and has been released on bond, according to jail records.
- Dennis William Day, 66, Soluri’s roommate, was arrested in June and charged with murder after allegedly confessing to strangling her and dumping her body off a bridge in Bowie.
- Investigators say a voicemail unintentionally recorded on Thomas’s phone captured a male and female struggling with something heavy, including phrases like “Make sure the lid’s on.”
- Search warrant materials cite March 21 home surveillance showing Day dragging what appears to be a lifeless body into the backyard and allege both suspects left their phones behind to create a false alibi.
- Soluri’s body has not been found despite searches near Bowie; investigators say Day led them to her handgun recovered from a storm drain, and her cellphone was found in a river, while Day remains held on a $200,000 bond.
