“Hopefully this day can move us closer so they can get closure, so they can find some justice for their mother. This has been a long slog for quite some time,” said Flood.
The lawsuit argues that the family is entitled to the compensation for loss of society, pain and suffering, exemplary damages and all damages recoverable under Michigan’s Wrongful Death Act.
“There's money that is still being used and spent by Dale that should be given to the offspring, should be given to the family,” said Flood.
Dee Warner was last seen in April 2021 in Tecumseh, located in Lenawee County. Her remains were discovered in August 2024 on a property owned by her husband, Dale, and were hidden in a chemical storage tank.
