Title: “The Enigmatic Disappearance: Husband’s Actions Come Under Scrutiny”
Dee Warner went missing on April 25, 2021, and her absence was first noticed by a family friend named Bock during their regular Sunday breakfast meeting. Despite both of Dee’s cars being at home, she was unresponsive to calls and messages – a behavior deemed unusual for her by Bock. Dee was known to always have her phone with her. Dee and her husband Dale Warner operated a trucking business, a farm, and a chemical company on their rural property. Dee was described as a tough, generous, and hard-working businesswoman by those who knew her.
The day before her disappearance, Dee had a heated argument with two employees from the trucking business, which left her visibly upset. This prompted her adult daughter, Bock, and other siblings to contact the authorities when Dee was nowhere to be found the following day. When the sheriff’s office was alerted, Dale Warner informed them about the disagreement and mentioned Dee’s history of leaving when upset. He believed she would return home after cooling off.
Dee’s brother, Gregg Hardy, organized a search for her on the farmland surrounding her property, but it yielded no results. As time passed, suspicions grew among family members, with Gregg Hardy becoming increasingly doubtful of Dale Warner’s involvement. Despite Dale’s cooperation with the police, suspicions lingered, and Gregg publicly accused him of concealing the truth about Dee’s disappearance.
The investigation into Dee Warner’s vanishing continued without any substantial leads, leading Dee’s loved ones to organize a vigil to seek justice and raise awareness about her case. Gregg Hardy remained steadfast in his conviction that Dale Warner was withholding information about his sister’s whereabouts.
Impatiently awaiting the police to take action, the former county prosecutor stressed to Hardy the importance of finding physical evidence and the risks of making a premature arrest. Months later, Shelley Hardy was intrigued by an episode of “48 Hours” discussing a case with no body, where attorney and investigator Billy Little emphasized the significance of not allowing murderers to escape justice simply because a body could not be found. Inspired by this, the Hardys sought out Little’s assistance in Dee Warner’s case, leading to his visit to Lenawee County to offer his expertise.
Little’s involvement included strategic advice for utilizing the media to raise awareness about Dee Warner’s disappearance, as well as conducting thorough investigations by speaking to potential witnesses, scouring properties for evidence, and using drones to search for clues. To increase pressure on Dale Warner, Gregg Hardy arranged for a billboard displaying the message “Help Dale Find Dee” near the Warner home, aimed at pushing him to cooperate more actively in the search for his missing wife.
Through ongoing rallies, vigils, and efforts to involve state police in the case, the community rallied behind Dee Warner’s cause. Eventually, in August 2022, the Michigan State Police took charge of the investigation, with FBI assistance. In November 2023, Dale Warner was arrested and charged with Dee Warner’s murder, maintaining his innocence despite lacking any evidence of her whereabouts. Bound over for trial in June 2024, his court proceedings are scheduled to commence on September 2, 2025.
Despite declining to comment on the case pretrial, Dale Warner’s attorney affirmed his client’s innocence and determination to defend him vigorously in court. In a significant development in August 2024, police discovered a key piece of physical evidence related to the case.
