On November 22, 2023, her husband, Dale John Warner, was charged with her murder.[1] Her body was discovered by police on August 17, 2024, while executing a search warrant on Dale Warner’s Paragon Road property. The body was discovered in a resealed anhydrous tank, similar to a residential propane storage tank. On March 10, 2026 Warner was found guilty of second degree murder. Sentencing is scheduled for May 7, 2026.
