A Michigan man has been found guilty of killing his wife, whose body was found in a farm tank in a rural community in 2024
ADRIAN, Mich. -- A man was found guilty Tuesday of killing his wife, whose body was found in a empty farm tank in rural Michigan in 2024, three years after she disappeared.
Jurors heard evidence of a troubled marriage between Dee and Dale Warner, though defense lawyers emphasized that there was no physical evidence linking him to her death. The case was featured on real-crime podcasts and TV shows.
Signs and banners were posted around Lenawee County, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) southwest of Detroit, declaring, “Justice For Dee.”
Dale Warner was convicted of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence.
Dee Warner, 52, disappeared in April 2021. Dale Warner was charged with murder more than two years later, although investigators still had not found a body. In 2024, her remains were discovered inside a fertilizer tank. A handwritten tag on the side of the tank said, “out of service” and “do not fill.”
