Lester Holt

We're back!

Hey, Lester.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, so 52-year-old Deanne Warner was reported missing by her three adult children in April of 2021.

They suspected that her husband, Dale, might have done something to her, and it was alleged that the marriage seemed to be in trouble.

Family members just wouldn't believe that she would up and leave her 10-year-old daughter without a word.

That's right, Lester.

But even though they didn't have a body in November of 2023, Dale was arrested and charged with her murder and also charged with tampering with evidence.

Then, nine months later, there was a break in the case.

The Michigan State Police found Deanne's remains sealed into a fertilizer tank on Dale's property.

So according to WTOL in Toledo, Ohio, a former detective in the case has been arrested by U.S.

Marshals.

His name is Kevin Greca.

He was on the case in the early days and has since retired.

According to the prosecutor handling the trial of Dale Warner, the former detective is a material witness, someone with critical information.

In October, the prosecutor filed a petition asking any peace officer in Michigan for help tracking the detective down to bring him before the court.

So fast forward to late last week, an Ohio judge signed an arrest warrant accusing him of fleeing to Ohio.

Yeah, that's right.

They said in a court filing that U.S.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the government not to seek the death penalty.
