Stepson describes Warner's financial woes in district court
ADRIAN — The stepson of a Tecumseh, Mich., man charged with murder for his wife's 2021 disappearance testified Thursday that his mother texted him the day before she vanished about her intent to sign the family trucking business — the only one of several family enterprises that was solidly profitable — over to him. "I'm done with this, I'm signing everything over to you," Zack Bock said the text from Dee Warner told him. The next day, Mr. Bock recounted, he went to the offices at his mother's and stepfather's farmstead and encountered Dale Warner near a parked truck as he tried to figure out why Mrs. Warner didn't seem to be around. "He said, 'You really don't know where your mom is?' and I said, 'No,'" Mr. Bock testified in Michigan District 2A Court.
Preliminary examination begins for man charged in wife's presumed death
ADRIAN — A stepdaughter and a sister-in-law of a Tecumseh, Mich. man accused of killing his wife and somehow disposing of her body both testified during court proceedings Wednesday that the woman was ready to divorce her husband. And Rikkell Bock, Dee Warner’s daughter by a previous marriage, said that while her mother had left the Munger Road home she shared with Dale Warner on many past occasions, her disappearance April 25, 2021, was remarkable because she had never left before without telling others where she was going. Ms. Bock had said earlier during her appearance at Mr. Warner’s preliminary examination that she also was troubled by the fact that both of the vehicles her mother normally drove — a Cadillac Escalade and a Hummer — were still at the home when she went there with her two children and boyfriend for their usual Sunday breakfast, but Mrs. Warner was nowhere to be found. Ms. Bock was the last of five witnesses to take the stand in Michigan District Court 2A before Judge Anna Frushour during the first day of a proceeding expected to run at least into Friday.
