What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
The body was taken to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification, where a DNA analysis confirmed two weeks ago that it was Soluri's remains, O'Brien said.
Before Soluri's body was identified, Day bragged to fellow inmates in jail that it would be impossible to convict him of murder if his victim's remains could not be found, according to a notice filed by the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office.
Day then allegedly admitted that he and Soluri had fought after she had filmed him acting irate, and when she threatened to call 911, he panicked and strangled her with his bare hands on the kitchen floor.
Soluri was last seen in March 2025 after taking a brief leave from her job with Envoy Air, a regional carrier under American Airlines.
