Without knowing what was taking place within Millard family (WM and DM) from the time they started the new hangar, it's hard to know if it had an impact on DM starting spiral into the world of violence. He purchased the PPK in February 2012 according to reports. He was on courses for the business shortly after, and seemed focused on taking "missions" to the next level by March 2012. Was there a cash flow problem getting the hangar off the ground? Was his other ventures (real estate), which he acknowledged only broke even causing him grief? He was even talking about selling booze to kids as a business venture.
MS was also experiencing financial trouble around that same time, and counting on DM for odd jobs was becoming less reliable according to texts.
Let's not forget that DM texted MJW in Feb 2012 'Millard texts Jackson: "by the time I let her go, she'll be a dirty girl."' Not the sort of thing a robber says about a gun in my opinion.
He was already in possession of one gun when he told CN he would remove Laura from their lives. MS was in need of money, and DM most likely saw that as an opportunity to recruit a partner. Shortly after that "weekend talk", MS showed a whole new interest in the garbage incineration business. Even searching commercial versions when they realized that the homemade version didn't work for their intended purpose.
The fact that LB was murdered and incinerated, and MS wrote a RAP the night she was cremated, and boasted about it to others was just him bragging to youngsters to look "bad", I have a bridge for sale.
I have no doubt DM planned to use the gun as early as Feb 2012, and MS knew his intent after that "next level" talk in the titty bar, and agreed to be a partner. MOO
