FORT WORTH, TX — The investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Rana Nofal Soluri, a 47-year-old American Airlines flight attendant from Fort Worth, Texas, has taken a dramatic turn. A second arrest has been made in connection with the case, which initially began when Soluri was reported missing in June, following several months of unexplained silence.
What Happened
Rana Nofal Soluri was last in contact with her coworkers and roommates on March 19, when text messages abruptly ceased. A coworker filed a missing person’s report in June after efforts to reach Soluri proved unsuccessful. Initially, her roommate, 66-year-old Dennis William Day, told authorities he didn’t know where Soluri was. However, surveillance footage and a series of subsequent revelations have led to a much darker conclusion.
In June, Day was arrested after reportedly confessing to strangling Soluri during an argument. He admitted to disposing of her body off a bridge, but Soluri’s body has yet to be recovered. Authorities have focused on finding her remains ever since.
On August 26, another individual, 62-year-old Joni Thomas, was arrested on charges of tampering with evidence. Thomas is accused of helping Day in the disposal of Soluri’s body. She is said to have driven Day’s vehicle to assist him in transporting the body. While Thomas initially denied knowledge of Day’s actions, she later admitted that he had used her truck to carry out the crime while she was unaware. However, the truth came to light following an unusual clue—a butt dial.
Reactions
The investigation took a bizarre turn when a voicemail, left unintentionally due to a butt dial, became crucial evidence. In the voicemail, a man and woman can be heard discussing moving something heavy, with the male voice saying, “Hey… help me,” and “I’m sorry I got you messed up in this.” This unexpected clue has been vital in confirming Thomas’s involvement and advancing the investigation.
Law enforcement and Soluri’s family have expressed their devastation over the tragic events. While the exact motive remains unclear, the circumstances have raised numerous questions about the individuals involved. Soluri’s loved ones are left grieving and searching for answers, hoping to uncover the truth about her fate.
What’s Next
As of now, both Day and Thomas face legal charges related to Soluri’s disappearance. Day remains in Tarrant County Jail, with his bond set at $200,000. Meanwhile, Thomas has been released on bond, though she has not made any public statements regarding her involvement.
The search for Soluri’s body continues, with investigators urging anyone who may have further information to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and more details may emerge in the coming weeks.
This is a developing story. We will update this article as more information becomes available.
