S2E24: Buried in Silence: The Dee Warner Murder Case
19-2-2026 | 47 Min.
On April 25, 2021, Dee Warner vanished from her rural Lenawee County, Michigan life with no goodbye, no digital trail, and no sign she left willingly. Her car remained. Her phone went quiet. And the people who loved her were forced into a nightmare that stretched for years—searches, vigils, billboards, and the exhausting limbo of not knowing. This episode follows the case from the early warning signs and mounting suspicion to the devastating discovery that finally confirmed what her family feared. Myia explores the psychology behind intimate partner homicide—how control can hide behind normalcy, why separation is often the most dangerous moment, and how concealment can be an extension of power long after a life is taken. It’s also a story about rural isolation, the cost of silence, and a family that refused to let Dee become just another forgotten name. This is not sensational true crime. This is testimony—about a mother, a community, and the relentless pursuit of truth.
