Ammon News - A spokesperson for the Fort Worth Police Department told NBC News on Sunday that the remains of Jordanian-Palestinian flight attendant R. N. Soluri were found on June 13, but were only recently identified through DNA testing.

Police told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that a fisherman discovered the body while fishing beneath a bridge along the bank of a creek in Montague County, Texas, about 70 miles northwest of downtown Fort Worth. The body was then taken to the Center for Human Identification at the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

The remains were later released to her daughter, Lulu Soluri, according to a GoFundMe fundraising page created on her behalf.

Updates to the page said American Airlines flew the remains to Seattle for a Muslim burial held on September 29.

Soluri had worked for a regional airline owned by American Airlines.

The development came more than a year after Dennis Day, 67, who had previously lived with Soluri, was arrested in June 2025 and charged with murder.

Police arrested Day two months after the 47-year-old flight attendant disappeared around March 19, 2025.

Shortly afterward, Joni Thomas, now 63, also known as Joanne Walters, was accused of helping Day dispose of Soluri's body. She was charged with tampering with evidence with intent to impair a human corpse.

According to police, Soluri had lived with Day for nearly a year. She had taken leave for minor surgery and was expected to return to work on March 31, 2025.
When she failed to return, a colleague reported her missing on June 11, 2025, police said.

Suspicion soon fell on Day, who later admitted to police that he had lost his temper during an argument with Soluri before strangling her with his hands, according to his arrest warrant.

According to a court document, Day then placed Soluri's body headfirst into a large black trash bin, transported it 70 miles to the town of Bowie in Montague County, and dumped it off a bridge.

Police said Day may have implicated himself and Thomas after inadvertently recording a conversation between them while transporting the victim's body.

Investigators revealed last month that a call and a message found on Thomas's phone captured a panicked Day asking for her help moving Soluri.

Day's arrest warrant stated: "This report is consistent with Dennis Day's account of moving the body, placing it in a trash bin and then in the bed of a truck at his home."

"The report also confirms that Thomas did not simply go to Day's home and allow him to use her truck to transport the body, but actively helped load the body onto the truck."

Police also said investigators found footage from Day's home surveillance system showing him dragging "what appears to be a lifeless body from inside the house into the backyard" on March 21.
