TARRANT COUNTY, Texas (KFDX/KJTL) A Fort Worth man has confessed to killing and dumping the body of a flight attendant near Bowie who has not been seen or heard from since March 2025, police say.

After being seen on video dragging what appeared to be a lifeless body from his home, Dennis William Day, 66, allegedly 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 chain ended abruptly mid-conversation.

Soluri had been on a leave of absence 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 residence 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 welfare check.

Police found that the last time anyone was able to verify Rana was alive was on March 21.

On June 23, police said they searched Day’s home after he consented and found the video clip of Day dragging what appeared to be a lifeless body.

Day initially denied any involvement, but then admitted that he “snapped” after Rana was videoing him and threatened to call the police, according to police documents. Day allegedly 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, the documents stated.

While Rana’s body has not been found, her cellphone did ping in the area, according to investigators.

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.
