After Dee Warner, a Michigan businesswoman and mother, disappeared from her home, her family believed she has been murdered and suspected her husband Dale Warner. But without physical evidence, they knew it would be hard to prove.
It was Sunday April 25, 2021, a spring morning in the farmland of Lenawee County, Michigan . Rikkell Bock drove the short distance from her house to her childhood home for her weekly breakfast with her mother, Dee Warner.Rikkell Bock: Sundays … we would … go up to my mom's first thing. Rikkell says that when her mom was not there, and not answering calls or texts, it just didn't feel right.
I told the other kids she's got a second phone …DEPUTY HALL: Do you have a phone number?DALE WARNER: No. It's a secret phone that she doesn't know that I know she has it.Dale also told police that Dee had been upset and suffering from a migraine the night before after an argument with two of her employees.
She took all her bags. So, somebody picked her up.And he said he thought she might come back eventually. The only thing that's really strange, too, is this time she put her wedding ring on my desk, in the office and left it. You know and now she's gone.DEPUTY HALL: Yeah.DALE WARNER: She's never done that before.Rikkell Bock, Zack Bock and Gregg Hardy all say Dale showed them that ring on Sunday too, seeming to offer it as proof that Dee had left intentionally, and maybe for good. But Gregg says that ring is worth as much as $40,000. And leaving it behind didn't sound like Dee.
Did she ever discuss getting a second phone with you?STEPHANIE VOELKLE: She did. … She had asked me to look into pricing and trying to find one for her, yes. I didn't see anything in the house. Dee was still sleeping.In his 2022 interview with police, Dale Warner had an explanation for those tracks — he said he thought he used the loader to go back to the house and get his worksheet for the sprayer at around 6:30 a.m.
Consistent with the time that occurred on that morning, yes.The defense also argued that Dale had not acted like a guilty man. He allowed police to search his properties and spoke to them many times after Dee disappeared. Only parts of a few of those interviews were played in court, but his attorney said that Dale had repeatedly denied harming Dee.MARY CHARTIER : Of all the phone calls and interviews with Mr. Warner, he never once said he harmed his wife, correct?
