Timeline of everything we know about the Dee Warner murder trial and investigation

Dale Warner is set to stand trial for the murder of his wife, Dee Warner, whose remains were found nearly three years after her disappearance in an anhydrous ammonia tank on their property. The investigation, which began when Dee vanished in April 2021, faced numerous challenges, including her being declared legally dead and the eventual discovery of her remains in August 2024. Dale was arrested in November 2023 and charged with open murder; legal proceedings have included dropped charges against his son and denied motions to move the trial. The case has also led to a $100 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by Dee’s family, alleging murder and asset mishandling.
