(LENAWEE COUNTY) -- Prosecutors focused on reconstructing the timeline of Dee Warner's disappearance as testimony continued this week in the murder trial of her husband.

On the fourth day of testimony, jurors heard from digital forensics experts, including analysts specializing in vehicle data and cell phone records. A former nanny also testified about Dee Warner's personal life and relationship with her husband, Dale Warner, who is charged with murder.

Dee Warner vanished from her home in 2021, and her remains were found in 2024.

Prosecutors are expected to call additional witnesses as the trial continues, with proceedings anticipated to last several weeks.
