She Asked for a Divorce. He Welded Her Inside a Tank for Three Years. — The Dee Warner Case

In April 2021, Dee Ann Warner told her husband Dale she wanted a divorce and planned to sell their trucking business. The next day she was gone. Her children immediately suspected Dale. Her brother Gregg Hardy launched a five year public campaign demanding justice. For three years there was no body, no crime scene, and no hard evidence — just a missing woman and a husband with no explanation. In August 2024, Michigan State Police found Dee’s remains sealed inside a welded shut fertilizer tank on the family property. She was in her pajamas, wrapped in a tarp, her face bound with duct tape. She had been there for over three years. Dale Warner was convicted of second degree murder in March 2026 and sentenced to 70 years in prison. This is the full story.
