Just saw on the local news. I wonder if her husband made some kind of deal to reveal the location of her body?

I sure hope not. The last thing this guy deserves is a deal.

I sure hope not. The last thing this guy deserves is a deal.

Yes, and I hope that is not the case too.

Is the $50,000 reward still standing for this case? Wonder if maybe someone would be utilizing that approach? MOO

Dee Warner murder case: A look inside the barn where family says human remains were found

LENAWEE COUNTY, Mich. – Local 4 got a look inside the barn where human remains linked to the Dee Warner murder case were found over the weekend.

On Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024, officials said human remains were found during a search of the Lenawee County property that belongs to Dee Warner’s husband, Dale Warner.

Dale Warner is charged with open murder and tampering with evidence in her case...

How devious. I can totally see how something like that would be missed in a search.

Dee’s brother, Greg Hardy, showed Local 4′s Victor Williams exactly where his sister’s presumed remains were found inside a barn. He said they were in an anhydrous tank, sealed in an airtight cylinder in the dark, potentially for years.

“I wasn’t here at the time that they removed the tank,” Hardy said. “But it was sitting in here separate from these other tanks that are over here.”

The family believes those remains will be positively identified as Dee Warner. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday as officials try to be 100% certain that it’s her body.

“In the dark of night, in a building that had no cameras -- slide her body in there, put the end cap back on it, and weld it completely shut,” Hardy said. “Then attach that to a chassis, paint it, even have the gall to put his logo on it to make it look like it was normal, and then took it and stored it with other tanks so it would like it was just another one of the fleet.

Not too familiar with this case, came here to post bravo! - so glad remains (most likely are those of Dee Warner) have been found. Thinking of DW's loved ones.

Wouldn't it be interesting if these remains were someone other than DW?!?

Family members said this has been very difficult for Dee Warner’s 12-year-old daughter. “It’s obviously been traumatic for her,” Hardy said. “She has a father in jail and a mother who’s dead.”

Sounds like she would've been around 9 when her mom "went missing." Has she been living with daddy dearest since then? MOO.

So relieved to see this. I hope it is her, for her families sake. This is a couple counties away from me, but every now and then I go to that area for events (they have great coffee shops out there and great antiquing!!). There are “Justice for Dee” signs all over! I’m always surprised it hasn’t been a bigger story in MSM. JMO!!

I dont live too far from there either and whenever we go to Techumseh, I always think about her.
So glad they found her.
Perhaps he made a plea deal ?? ( I hope not, he doesn't deserve anything) but curious what took them there ??

In the article it says Dee’s brother suggested they look there. The tank looks intact when they hauled it off so the must’ve used some type of radar/sonar to determine that there was something inside it.

Human remains found on Warner property, family believes remains are that of missing woman Dee Warner

[...]
A family spokesperson told 13 Action News the human remains were found in a sealed tank meant for anhydrous ammonia, used in fertilizer for crops, on part of the Warner property on Aug. 16. The chemicals weren’t in the tank at the time of the discovery, a family spokesperson said. The tank was sealed shut with a tag on it that said “do not use.”

Dee’s brother, Gregg Hardy, said investigators showed family members an X-ray of the tank, showing a body inside of it. He said he was in disbelief at first.

“You know what we’ve now discovered is so far fetched, who would have thought? You know who could have even dreamed that up?” Hardy said.

Human remains found on Warner property, family believes remains are that of missing woman Dee Warner

[...]
Prosecutorial documents say the night before she was killed, Dee had her friend pick up the Warner’s daughter because she was going to tell Dale they were getting a divorce. She didn’t want the child there to witness the fight. Other than Dale, Dee’s friend was the last person to see her alive.

Prosecutors say that Dale admitted to fighting with Dee that night about “money and infidelity; the argument being the worst argument of his life,” the court documents read. Dale told investigators he left their home around 6:00 a.m. the next morning while Dee was sleeping on the couch, but officials say “every statement” Dale has given about that morning is inconsistent.
