The Denver woman who was convicted of poisoning her elderly father and encasing his dead body in concrete was sentenced to life behind bars without parole.
Dayna Jennings, 45, was sentenced for killing her 69-year-old father William Mussack with whom she shared the same house in Federal Heights. The father's remains were discovered in a crawl space under the house in January 2018, nearly a month after he was last seen alive.
"Jennings repeatedly misled the family after they became concerned about Mussack," said Chief Deputy District Attorney Rhoda Pilmer. "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?"
