Investigators have resolved the three-year-long mystery of missing Michigan woman Dee Warner. State police confirmed Wednesday that Warner's remains were discovered on a property owned by her husband. "Dee Warner's death has been ruled a homicide," authorities stated, adding that while positive identification and the manner of death have been confirmed, the investigation continues.

Warner, aged 52, went missing in April 2021. Her husband, Dale Warner, faced murder and evidence tampering charges in November related to her disappearance. He has pleaded not guilty, with his attorney declining immediate comment on the recent developments. Human remains were found last week in Lenawee County, about 70 miles southwest of Detroit, as disclosed by state police on Sunday.

Family members revealed that Warner's remains were inside a sealed, empty tank typically used for crop fertilizer. Her brother, Greg Hardy, recounted to WDIV-TV: "In the dark of night, in a building that had no cameras: slide her body in there, put the end cap back on it, and weld it completely shut," Hardy said during a site visit.
