Hidden in Plain Sight: The Disappearance and Discovery of Dee Warner | 11 Investigates

[@flutebiz01]

Great job on this 11 Investigates. The two interviewers were beyond respectful, sensitive and professional. Very well done on all of of it.

[@TNT-km2eg]

Family member ?

[@ShandeleReynolds]

No it wasn't. How was she found?? He said she was acting odd. Why?? It didn't ask any questions of importance. There was no information about the case.

[@renayeblack5906]

I agree. Excellent journalism from both. ⚖️

[@datdudecollins]

@@renayeblack5906do you know what the word ‘excellent’ even means? It was terrible. They investigated nothing. How was she killed? Who were the initial suspects? How did the husband react? What leads did police have? Why did it take nearly three years to find her body? Why did it take that long to charge the husband? What is this “wife swap” that the nephew mentioned? Who are the other people involved in the “wife swap?” Why did the nephew originally think she killed herself? How was she “acting different” in the days before she disappeared? I mean…they answered, nor even discussed, literally NONE of these things!

[@donnaroberts4565]

What a clear speaking & thinking person Parker was in this interview. He gave so much insight on who Dee Ann was to the family & community. I'm so glad she was found. I'm so sorry that it was in this way. Rest in the starlight of your ancestors Dee Ann. Peace to your loved ones x🤍x

Dee was lucky to have such a loving family to give her a voice.

Domestic violence is has been IGNORED for too long. We are NOT DOING ENOUGH to protect

[@renayeblack5906]

I completely agree. So many times....things could have been prevented.

[@rl5725]

Women who stay with abusive partners should have their children removed by CPS. any kid growing up in a home with domestic violence is at risk and will have life long issues, development issues a even develop a speech impediment due to being raised in fear

[@cinbad1534]

I was born and raised in Lenawee County and am proud to say when something happens people come out and support any way they can. There are so many good people with big hearts here. My thoughts and prayers to all family and friends of Dee. May you all find comfort and healing through this tragic time. So glad you can lay Dee to rest.

[@ConsciousConversations]

Too bad too many people did not protect or create a safe environment for women .. we are all guilty. We don’t teach our men to protect and they get away with this too often.

[@juicyjules7409]

Or idaho

[@HelynHughes]

@@ConsciousConversationswomen don’t need men to protect them, just not to kill them.

[@ConsciousConversations]

@@HelynHughes ya know. It’s both. Women are not weak but women are targeted and if enough men could overcome the social pressures and violent influences to be better than that.. maybe the weak cowardly men who are violent and assault others (especially women and children but just bully over all) then maybe those weak cowardly men those ones would be less likely to. And so, that is being protective. In the same way women and men can teach girls that they are not objects and encourage them that it is absolutely safe and they will be believed when they stand up and fight back and speak out against the violent cowards.. they are safe and will be protected when they do.

I LOOK UP TOLD GOD I WAS COMING HOME . HE ( GOD ) GAVE ME STRENGTH TO GET AWAY . I TOOK RAN TO THE ROAD THEN HE TRIED TO RUN ME OVER. GOD SENT A LADY IN A SUV SHE PICK ME UP AND I ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL. GOD WAS WITH ME THAT DAY. IF HE HAD MURDER ME NO ONE WOULD OF FOUND ME. THIS HAPPEND ON 3RD WEEK END OF SEPT. I THANK GOD FOR THAT LADY THAT SAVED ME

[@shicruisin7004]

NO ONE WOULD have FOUND ME

[@melissatodd560]

God sent you an Angel that day. My ex-husband strangled me while I held my 9 month old daughter and my 3 year old son stood on his Dad's feet screaming, "No! No!" He let me go but spit in my face while I was choking for air. He was never charged. The police said I would not make a good witness because I didn't call right away and I have mental health issues. Then they took my kids for failure to protect them from watching his abuse of me. Yeah. I'm so glad you survived and sought help that day. You deserve better.

[@junehanzawa5165]

Don't you just love his lawyer? "She ran away. It's easy to get another identification." Oops. The body has been found. What was that you were saying? That should be used in the trial. That he was saying she simply ran away, while he had the body hidden all this time. "Dear jury, that's the lying monster that's here in this court. Can you believe a single word he's saying?"

[@latinaalma1947]

My understanding of the law is you cannot tell your lawyer yeah I murdered her a d then have him go to cpurt to plead not guilty. He can negotiate fpr manslaughter and lesser crimes but he cant "forget" that you declared you killed the victim. Correct me please lawters and legal assistants with more recent experience than mine....

[@joanna0988]

​​@@latinaalma1947 I'm a legal assistant in Canada and that is not true. I know in the US and in Canada it is actually a lawyer's duty to ensure a client's confidentiality unless a client discloses future plans to commit a crime. So if you go to a lawyer and tell him you killed your wife, he can choose to not defend you but he can't go call the police to tell them you confessed. Now if you say your wife is alive and you plan to kill her, he should report that.

[@latinaalma1947]

@@joanna0988 Thanks for that information.

[@joanna0988]

@@latinaalma1947 Ya it seems kind of confusing because a counselor or therapist who is a mandated reporter would have to report that information however attorney client privilege is taken very seriously and a lawyer could even get in trouble for breaching that trust.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

What that Lawyer did was what Defense Attorneys do. He was just trying to sell a narrative and defense that she likely left to build a new life. I know it seems that what he did was wrong but if you are ever accused of a crime of this sort, you would want your defense attorney to do the same sort of thing. Like them or not in such cases as this, Defense Attorneys play their vital role as our Founding Fathers set up in our adversarial criminal justice system. He was obviously counting upon Dee's body never being found.

There are many just like him and some women as well .

[@RabidSnot]

there's no such thing as closure.. that is just a empty hollow word used by those that have never lost suffered or felt the pain of losing someone so close to them. It's just a way to minimize dismiss and make themselves feel better after a family or parent has lost somebody close to them. R.I.P Dee Warner, I pray for your family and for justice in this world of injustices. Dale, Karma is coming for You... you can run you can try to hide but when you least expect it, there it will be, Karma.

[@jenniferruth812]

I think it’s just hard for most people to know what to say to someone who’s had such a profound loss, bc there isn’t anything anyone can say that helps. And if it’s done online, nobody can sit quietly w the person & just let them cry or be angry or feel what they feel.

Dee will never be replaced or forgotten. Thank you Parker and family, friends and all. These are the very morals and beliefs that are so seldom seen these days.

[@LillysConner]

I support the family advocating at county or state level regarding lockdown of home for 48 hrs when family member reported missing as there are so many incidences where the body or evidence of killing in house when reports are made. Gannon Stauch , the 11 yr old is also another case the stepmother reported him missing and yet she had his battered body stuffed in suitcase hidden in storage closet.

[@govindagovindaji4662]

13:21 Well, it's been mostly confusing up to this point. "They took her place down there and they transformed it...into new companies." What type of companies? We briefly hear of a relationship swap, but now it seems we are still talking about Dee and Dale so was it in this swap that she ended up with Dale? How long ago was that? In the middle of this they mention, who I think' must be some type of crusader for missing people who they found on 48 hours but give us no further details about his help in finding her. It would have been interesting to learn the details of her disappearance as well.

I would have appreciated a bit more explanation of what the "wife swap" situation was, and it would have been nice to have clarity on who was her first husband, who was her second, how long she was with the first one, etc. Just a basic who's who so I could understand what they were alluding to.

[@datdudecollins]

You’re being extremely kind. This story was done terribly. The “wife swap” part, though, was obviously the most noticeable. They literally provided ZERO details of ANYTHING that went on in this case. Obviously SOMETHING did…but you won’t find out by watching this amateur piece.

[@attornurse1]

Strong women so frequently become victims of domestic violence! If women speak their mind or are strong and confident so many people resent them

[@junglekutz5625]

There’s no such thing as “strong women.” But there are women who speak their mind, know how and when to express themselves in ways that align with their emotions (as in how they genuinely feel)……..and will do so time and time and time again. Doesn’t matter who they’re dealing with. There are also women that have no problem working for what they want (and depending on the woman, she will go about doing what she has no problem doing, in order to succeed/accomplish her interest). What usually happens when folk that are unlike these type of women cross paths with them (doesn’t matter if it’s male or female)……and who they are at the core doesn’t resonate with what they see. They will always aim to give them a difficult time. As they have a need to break and destroy whatever supposedly intimidates them. …..and if they can’t break or destroy them, they will make it their business to be a thorn in their side, while depriving them of what they need/they think they need.

HOW SAD

[@wingless171]

how would they not have checked a big building like that ,when they were littrally across the rd the first time ??? weird

[@myrtleanstockdale6614]

They checked it. He moved the body there afterwards.

[@Kayz90]

Okay so please help me understand this. They declared her dead without a body. Which to me feels weird. Then they accuse the Husband because he sold off assets. And even if that, under the circumstances, is illegal or wrong, (I'm not familiar with American Laws) doesn't necessarily prove he murdered her?! So I fail to understand how they can charge him with that, without having evidence for an actual murder. At least they never mentioned there is any, at the time. Or did I miss something?

[@datdudecollins]

You missed a lot. Not any fault of your own, though…this is just a terribly put together, amateur piece.

[@junglekutz5625]

Forgiveness isn’t about strength/having mental strength that pushes one to do all of the above that forgiveness stands for. To forgive and be forgiving is a genuine choice. One that either resonates in that persons spirit or doesn’t. For anyone to believe that forgiveness is some trending act that one should do, just because others have chosen to do so, isn’t mature thinking.

You forgive only if that person is remorseful, truly.
