A Michigan man is facing life in prison after he was convicted in the cold case murder of his once-missing wife.

Dale Warner was found guilty of second-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the 2021 death of Dee Warner. He will be sentenced on May 7.

Dee was last seen on April 25, 2021, at her home in Tecumseh. In November 2023, Dale was arrested and charged with her disappearance and murder. Dee’s remains were found in Aug. 2024 when authorities conducted a search on property in Lenawee County belonging to Dale.

Dee’s family told Scripps News Group that her remains were found in a sealed tank that used to hold anhydrous ammonia. At the time of the discovery, there was no ammonia in the tank, and it was closed on both ends.
