Okay, so Rachel, first, we are headed to Lenawee County Circuit Court in Michigan for the final chapter in a case we've been covering from the very beginning.

We're talking about the murder of grandmother and entrepreneur Deanne Warner at the hands of her husband, 58-year-old Dale Warner.

Rachel, give us a quick recap.

But by all accounts, the marriage was on the rocks.

Rachel, investigators conducted extensive searches across the thousands of acres of farmland.

It was a tough situation given just how large that area is.

But of course, they did not find Dee.

In November 2023, Dale was arrested and charged with her murder.

Then in August of 2024, investigators made a breakthrough.

What did prosecutors say was the reason for the murder?

So he killed her.

In March, a jury found Dale Warner guilty of second degree murder and tampering with evidence.

Late last week, Dale appeared in court for his sentencing.

Who was there, Rachel?

Wow, that is powerful.

Dee's brother, Greg Hardy, also gave a statement.

And at one point, the judge had to caution him to tone it down.

The barbaric act of covering up your crime by welding my sister in a cold steel tomb is beyond human.

You are a spineless piece of human debris.

Did Dale speak in front of the court at all?
