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.

I’m guessing she has a long history of mental illness, though that’s no excuse for murder in my mind.
NOT SICK.
EVIL.
Women who do bad things are evil people. Kind of how we define evil people, by their actions.
I was thinking maybe an extra one.
What a loser to kill her dad and winding up in prison for life. What a miserable, no good POC.
Execute her! Hanging will do.
Brilliant and funny post. Bump.
Thanks.
I impressed myself with that one.
Concrete’s great unless tou failed to allow room for the corpse to swell up...
