Fort Worth man admits to killing flight attendant, dumping body in Texoma
TARRANT COUNTY, Texas (KFDX/KJTL) — A Fort Worth man has reportedly confessed to killing and dumping the body of a flight attendant near Bowie who has not been seen or heard from since March 2025.
After being seen on video dragging what appeared to be a lifeless body from his home, Dennis William Day, 66, admitted to strangling Rana Nofal Soluri, 47, an American Airlines flight attendant who had lived with Day for roughly the past year.
According to police documents, Soluri was reported missing by a coworker on June 11 after not being able to get in touch with Soluri since March 19 when their text conversation ended abruptly mid-conversation.
Soluri had been on a leave of absense for a minor surgery, but was expected to return to work on March 31. She never returned.
Police documents stated that on May 8, officers were dispatched to Day's residents to tow Rana's vehicle that had been parked in front of the house. They later found that the car had been purchased just one week before Rana went missing. Officers were again dispatched to Day's home on June 10, this time on a welare check.
Police found that the last time anyone was able to verify Rana was alive was on March 21.
On June 23, police searched Day's home after he consented and the video clip of Day dragging what appeared to be a lifeless body was found.
According to police documents, Day initially denied any involvement, but then admitted that he "snapped" after Rana was videoing him and threatened to call the police. Day strangled Rana on the kitchen floor, then dragged her body into the backyard where he realized the security cameras were recording him. Then he said he disconnected the surveillance equipment, loaded her body into a trash bin and drove the body near Bowie where he dumped her over a bridge.
Police documents stated that while Rana's body has not been found, her cell phone did ping in the area.
Day was arrested and charged with murder.
As of the publication of this story, Day was in the Tarrant County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
