Lester Holt

Hi there, and happy holidays.

We're spreading holiday cheer with special live performances from Gwen Stefani, Lady A, and Brad Paisley.

Plus, some of Hollywood's biggest stars stop by for our annual toy drive.

From our family to yours, happy holidays.

Hey, good morning.

Let's jump in here.

They can find no skeletons in his closet.

The car was in disrepair, including a missing radio and the infamous broken taillight.

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.
