Overview

• Dennis William Day, 66, was arrested in June and told police he strangled Rana Nofal Soluri during a dispute before dumping her body off a bridge near Bowie, Texas.
• Day remains in the Tarrant County jail on $250,000 bail, while Joni Thomas, 62, was arrested on Aug. 26 on a tampering-with-evidence charge and later released on bond.
• Investigators say an inadvertent voicemail on Thomas’s phone captured voices straining to move a heavy object along with commands such as “Make sure the lid’s on,” supporting allegations she helped with transport.
• Home surveillance from March 21 shows Day dragging what investigators describe as a lifeless body from the house into the backyard, according to the arrest warrant.
• Police say both suspects left their phones at Day’s home to fabricate an alibi; searches in the Bowie area have not located Soluri’s remains, though her firearm was recovered.
