A Colorado woman was sentenced to life in prison without parole earlier this week for poisoning her father with an animal tranquilizer and then covering his remains in concrete in a crawl space in their home.
Dayna Jennings, 45, was found guilty of first-degree murder and tampering with a human body in July for the poisoning death of her 69-year-old father William Mussack.
Mussack had been missing for a month before law enforcement discovered his decomposing body encased in a layer of concrete in the basement of their Federal Heights home in January 2018. His body was also covered with trash, household garbage and old photos, according to an Adams County District Attorney’s Office press release obtained by PEOPLE.
A coroner ruled that Mussack had been poisoned by acepromazine, an animal tranquilizer.
”Jennings repeatedly misled the family after they became concerned about Mussack, describing everyday routines as if things were fine,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Rhoda Pilmer said during the trial. “All the while, she was scheming about how to get rid of her father’s body. She researched the drug, ordered it, received it. All of those were opportunities to stop and ask herself, ‘Am I really going to poison my father?’”
Chief Deputy District Attorney Brett Martin said that after Jennings poisoned her father, she texted a friend: “Life is so different now I feel so much better.”
The case came to light on Dec. 28, 2017, when Mussack’s brother contacted police asking for a welfare check on his brother because he hadn’t heard from him since Dec. 5 and couldn’t reach him, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.
When questioned by police at their home, Jennings allegedly said Mussack didn’t live there and that he had lost his phone, the affidavit states.

That chick is missing a chromosome.
"Mussack’s son also told police that his father relayed to him that he had passed out for 15 hours after his daughter gave him a hamburger on December 7, 2017, and that he’d said, “she must have drugged me.”
Pretty sure I would kick her out AND call the cops!!!!
He looks healthy enough to have outlived his daughter. I think she must have recognized that too.
She could have posed as her dad Norman Bates style...
I’m guessing drugs were involved. She has that medicated zombie stare
"So you encased him in concrete, eh? Very resourceful."

Hmm, that’s the drug they gave my dog for thunder anxiety.
Wonder if that’s how she got it.
Laz would hit and I would convict.
Has the elements of a few Dragnet episodes.
The tranquilizer dart took some thought.
Her covering his part of his body with trash, household garbage and old photos shows that she has an extreme case of Attention Deficit Disorder.
Apparently, she did not give her effort The Whole Nine Yards.
Very guilty.
Wow. This is really close to where I live. Just north of me.
This is really disgusting. He looks like a nice guy. Matter of fact, he reminds me a lot of my dad, who was absolutely the nicest guy around. I’m sure he worked hard to support his kids, spent his weekends doing stuff with them, and sacrificed stuff he would have wanted for himself to support them. And this deranged animal kills him! She is clearly sick.
Funny, it’s usually the grandchildren who murder the old folks, not the children. I guess her grandparents were already dead.
They will do this even to their other children who are trying to deal with the destructive child.
Hahaha!
“Ace”, as it’s called for short by Vets, cannot be given to breeding stallions as it causes impotency.
