A Michigan billboard is making waves by taking a jab at Dee Warner’s husband, following his recent conviction for her murder—a case that initially began with her mysterious disappearance in 2021 and eventually led to the discovery of her body hidden in a fertilizer tank.

Warner’s family erected the billboard, which sarcastically states, “Help Dale Find Dee,” as part of their relentless campaign for justice. This message has gained renewed attention in light of Dale Warner’s conviction for murdering his wife.

In April 2021, 52-year-old Dee Warner vanished from her residence in Franklin Township, sparking a lengthy investigation.

Dale Warner faced murder charges in 2023, but it wasn’t until 2024 that investigators discovered her remains in a disused fertilizer tank in rural Michigan, labeled “out of service” and “do not fill.”

An autopsy revealed that Dee Warner had been strangled and had endured blunt force trauma. On March 10, a jury found Dale Warner guilty of second-degree murder and evidence tampering.

Gregg Hardy told “48 Hours” correspondent Erin Moriarty in “The ‘No Body’ Case of Dee Warner,” that he had a “gut feeling” that Dale was responsible after his sister had vanished.

“I was getting these, call it a gut feeling if you like, whatever you’d call it, but I was very suspicious of his mannerisms,” he said.

Throughout the investigation, Hardy said that he did not feel that Dale was acting like a concerned husband.

He shared with “48 Hours” that the idea of a public billboard was meant to apply psychological pressure on Dale as well as a means to publicly shame him.

Dale Warner was found guilty by a jury in the 2021 killing of his wife, Dee Warner, after her remains were discovered in 2024.

The case eventually went to trial this year, with prosecutors describing a strained marriage and arguing that Warner made a series of “conscious decisions.”

Prosecutor Jackie Wyse told jurors that Warner could have called 911 and said, “I screwed up,” but instead taped Dee Warner’s mouth and nose, preventing her from breathing.

“Those were all conscious decisions,” Wyse said.

Defense attorney Mary Chartier argued that there was reasonable doubt in the case, saying Dale Warner denied hurting his wife and cooperated with investigators during the search.

“You are not here to judge Mr. Warner as a husband,” Chartier said. “You may think he was a bad husband, a not-very-attentive husband, whatever you may think of him.”
