FRANKLIN TWP. — A national TV news magazine will highlight the Dee Warner murder case this Saturday.
“The ‘No Body’ Case of Dee Warner” is scheduled to air at 10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, on CBS television stations and be available for streaming on Paramount+, a news release from CBS said. Correspondent Erin Moriarty will report on the case that began in April 2021 when Dee Warner, a mother and businesswoman from the Tipton area in Franklin Township, went missing.
Before Dee’s body was found last August, she was declared deceased by Lenawee County Probate Judge Catherine A. Sala, and in November 2023 Warner’s husband, Dale Warner, was arrested on charges of open murder and tampering with evidence in Dee’s disappearance.

Police found Warner’s remains hidden in a tank that had been used to hold anhydrous ammonia, a common farm fertilizer. The tank was on property the Warners owned about a mile from their home.
Dale has denied harming his wife to police. In interviews with police shown during the case’s preliminary examination in Lenawee County District Court, he maintained he was out farming the morning Dee disappeared, and security footage showed him out using a sprayer. He also consented to have his properties searched and spoke willingly to police.
