Human Remains Discovered on Husband’s Property in Michigan Woman Case

Authorities investigating the case of a missing Michigan woman, believed dead for over three years, have discovered human remains at a property owned by her husband. Dee Warner was reported missing by her family on April 25, 2021, as confirmed by the Michigan State Police (MSP).

On Sunday, the MSP announced that detectives from its special investigations sections found the human remains while executing a search warrant on a property in Lenawee County that belongs to Dale Warner, Dee’s husband.

The authorities reported that efforts are underway to recover the remains. “There will be a great deal of work and testing completed before a positive identification is made,” stated the MSP in an official communication.

MSP has maintained contact with Dee Warner’s family throughout this ongoing investigation. They have kept them updated on the recent developments regarding the case.

Dee Warner’s husband, 56-year-old Dale John Warner, was charged in November with open murder and tampering with evidence related to her disappearance. He has denied the charges by pleading not guilty.

Local media outlets have reported that family members revealed the remains were located inside a sealed, empty tank that is typically used for anhydrous ammonia, a substance employed as fertilizer in agricultural practices. An autopsy to determine the identity and cause of death is scheduled for Tuesday.

Dee Warner, then 52, was last seen on the morning of her disappearance in Franklin Township, approximately 70 miles southwest of Detroit. Since that day, there has been no contact from her to any family members or friends.

Dale Warner is currently being held in Lenawee County Jail. He is set to appear in court on September 4 for a pretrial hearing. Meanwhile, concern continues to mount as both the investigation and legal proceedings unfold.

According to Dale Warner’s attorney, Mary Chartier, they await confirmation regarding the remains’ identity. She expressed the gravity of the situation, noting, “This appears to be another tragic turn of events for all those who loved and cared for her.”

The discovery of human remains marks a significant and unsettling development in a case that has left many in the community reeling. This incident not only highlights the dangers surrounding domestic circumstances but also underscores the emotional toll it takes on families seeking closure in such distressing situations.

As the investigation progresses, community members and loved ones of Dee Warner continue to hope for answers. The tragedy of her situation resonates deeply, reminding all of the impact such events have on those who care about her.

The authorities remain vigilant in uncovering all evidence surrounding Dee Warner’s case, ensuring that the investigation is thorough and comprehensive. As the community awaits further news, the hope for justice and clarity in this heartbreaking matter remains paramount.
