This article is terrible. It says "At the time of that arrest, police still had not found any trace of Dee Warner." and "In August 2024, soon after Dale Warner was bound over for trial, police found a major piece of physical evidence in the case." They found her body, so the "No Body" murder case is no longer a "no body" case. Strange!

Following significant pressure, the Michigan State Police assumed command of the investigation by August 2022. Their efforts culminated on November 2023 when authorities arrested Dale Warner and charged him with the murder of Dee Warner, maintaining her body has yet to be discovered. Despite pleading not guilty, he remains locked as the trial date is set for September 2, 2025

I like 48 hours most times and look forward to watching this case that I have followed for some time. Thanks for all the recent posts!

“It’s hard to explain because you have the relief of knowing that we’re finally going to be able to lay her to rest,” family spokesperson Kathryn Adams said Sunday. “But then there’s that grief that comes back that we’ve had to relive over and over every time we make progression with the case -- when she was declared deceased, and then again when Dale was arrested for murder -- it’s just a wound that we keep having to reopen.”

Family members tell 13 Action News they expect to hold a news conference on the new developments on Thursday.
Thank you @PommyMommy for having linked this earlier. And comments below are not directed at all at you……

The reporting on this case IMO is misguided. Continuing to refer to this as a ‘no body’ case is now so wrong. That online article ABC News 13 WTVG by WTVG Staff and Lily Lowndes from August 21, 2024 confirms the remains found were Dee Warner.

I have asked moderators to move this to Awaiting Trial status - and remove it from Missing forum. Would have been interesting to hear what then defense counsel thought or said once the remains were found in the tank on the Warner property. Watching all their protesting statements in open court on the repeat 48 Hours episode was intriguing. MOO

Det. Daniel Drewyor of Michigan State Police confirmed “an arrest was made this weekend in relation to the case,” but declined to give any more information and anticipated that the arraignment will likely happen Monday morning. The detective declined to identify the new person charged in the case.

Jaron is the guardian of Dee and Dale's young daughter! Yikes!

ADRIAN, Mich. — Jaron Warner, son of Dale Warner and stepson of the late Dee Warner, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Monday, where he was charged with accessory after the fact to a felony and tampering with evidence in the disappearance and murder of his stepmother.

The tampering with evidence charge alone would be punishable with a more than 10 year sentence.

According to a spokesperson for Dee's family, the judge has recused himself from hearing Jaron Warner's case. They further said DNA collection and fingerprints were ordered, and preliminary hearings now are set for March 10 and 17 at 9 a.m.

Wow, so he bonded out, and he has custody of Dee and Dale's minor daughter. That doesn't seem right. He is being charged with tampering with evidence in the murder of his stepmother by his father. I hope that the state is looking at the custody arrangements of the minor child and that she is removed from the home and placed with another relative, ideally on her mother's side.

Wow, how did I miss this one, I live in Mich, not local to this crime but what a bizarre case, might be the most clever and sick body hide I have seen on here. RIP to the victim and condolences to the family....may justice be served!

March 10, 2025

Both Dale Warner and his son, 28-year-old Jaron Dale Warner, appeared in court on Monday, just a week after the younger Warner was arraigned on charges of tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact, according to Michigan State Police.

During the court hearing for Jaron Warner, who is Dee Warner’s stepson, a judge scheduled his preliminary examination for April 4, 2025. He is free on a $125,000 bond.

*****
Dale Warner is set to stand trial on September 2, 2025.


*****
Dale’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss his tampering with evidence charge.
The attorneys claimed evidence was not presented during the preliminary examination to explain why he was charged with tampering with evidence. They claimed the prosecutors were attempting a “trial by ambush” for not presenting the evidence during the preliminary hearing.

The judge said he is still reviewing the preliminary examination and will release his written decision as soon as he possibly can.

Michigan State Police officers and Lenawee County law enforcement can be seen setting up on the family’s farm shortly after 9 a.m. And shortly after 9:30, Jaron’s pickup pulls up to the officers.

Warner was awarded guardianship of Dale and Dee’s young daughter in late 2023. An officer checks with Jaron to make sure the girl is not with him, then he is told he is being placed under arrest.

“Are you serious?” a clearly surprised Jaron said before being handcuffed.
