Brighton Business Owner Dayna Jennings Charged With Murdering Dad – Encased Body In Crawl Space Of Colo Home

The owner of Soley Zen Massage, Dayna Jennings, has been charged with first-degree murder after police say she killed her father and encased his body in her Colorado home.

Jennings, 44, of Federal Heights, was arrested Wednesday and charged in the death of her father, 69-year-old William Mussack, whose remains were found inside a home in the 10000 block of Eliot Circle in Federal Heights, the District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

Court documents say dad’s body was found in the crawl space encased in concrete and Jennings admitted to pouring that concrete. Although those documents do not list a cause of death, it does say family members believe Mussack was drugged because of a prior incident where he was found unconscious for 15 hours last December after taking a bite of a hamburger Jennings gave to him. Jennings has been charged with first-degree murder after deliberation and tampering with a deceased human body. source

A preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 15 in Adams County District Court.

Jennings posted the following about her Brighton business Soley Zen Massage on Yelp:

Dayna Jennings J. Business Owner:

“Hi, my name is Dayna Jennings. I graduated with a business degree but still didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I remembered how much massage had helped me after a bad car accident, and decided that I wanted to help others the way I had been helped. I felt that I had a good touch, so I signed up for massage school and subsequently fell in love with massage. I graduated from California Healing Arts College (Santa Monica, CA) in 1995. Since that time I have taken advanced training in Pregnancy/Infant Massage, Ashiatsu Massage, Thai Massage, Myoskeletal Alignment Technique and Reiki Energy Work. Because of the broad range of techniques and approaches that I have become skilled in I have developed my own unique style which works effectively to cater to your specific needs. On a personal note – I moved to Colorado in 2001, from Huntington Beach, CA. I miss the ocean terribly and try to get back as often as possible to get my “fix”.”

Authorities have not said when they suspect Mussack was killed.
