DNA testing has confirmed that remains found in Brushy Creek, Texas, belong to Rana Nofal Soluri, a 47-year-old flight attendant who was missing since March 2025. Authorities arrested Dennis Day, Soluri’s former roommate, for her murder; he admitted to strangling and disposing of her body near a bridge. The case also involved another woman, Joni Thomas, charged with tampering with evidence. Prosecutors say Day bragged about evading conviction if the body was never found.

Story summary
In June 2025, the body of Rana Nofal Soluri, a 47-year-old Envoy Air flight attendant, was found by a fisherman on the bank of Brushy Creek in Montague County, Texas. DNA testing confirmed it to be Soluri's remains nearly a year after she went missing and was allegedly killed by her roommate, Dennis William Day, who was charged with murder in June 2025. Soluri had been reported missing in June 2025 after taking a brief leave from work for minor surgery and failing to return as expected. Her body was discovered about 70 miles northwest of Fort Worth near Bowie, where it had initially eluded investigators due to rain and flooding that may have moved the remains downstream.
