Key Developments

In November 2023, Dale Warner was arrested in connection with Dee’s disappearance and murder. Following an extensive investigation, Dee’s remains were found in August 2024 in a sealed tank on property belonging to Dale. This tank, previously used for anhydrous ammonia, contained not only her body, wrapped in duct tape, but also some jewelry and a quarter tank of liquid.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Dale had checked Dee’s location over 2,100 times between January 2019 and April 2021. The Michigan State Police involved 130 officers in the search for Dee’s body, highlighting the case’s significance.

Trial and Conviction

After rejecting a plea deal for second-degree murder, Dale faced a jury trial. The prosecution argued that he had motive, opportunity, and took deliberate steps to cover up Dee’s murder. Forensic evidence linked Dale to the tank where Dee’s body was found, including fingerprints. Additionally, Dale’s internet searches revealed topics related to chemical cremation and disposing of tanks.

The jury deliberated for several hours before reaching a verdict, ultimately convicting Dale Warner of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the death of Dee Warner. The prosecution’s theory of Dale moving, concealing, and welding the body was met with skepticism, as it lacked physical evidence, eyewitness accounts, or forensic proof.

Current State

As of May 7, 2026, Dale Warner’s conviction marks a significant development in the case, but uncertainties remain. Details about the evidence presented during the trial are not fully confirmed, and the exact circumstances surrounding Dee Warner’s death remain unclear. Dale’s cooperation with authorities, including consent to searches of his property and electronic devices, adds complexity to the narrative.
