That's kind of what I thought looking at the photos as well. I have had a driveway that long before, and I would have scoffed at anyone who wanted to be driven to the end of it instead of walking that distance, unless they were in some way handicapped. Which MS and DM were obviously not, as they had shown that they could walk that distance without assistance so far. So, what I am getting at is, that, in my opinion, it would have been nonsensical for one of them to have just said, 'Nice to meet you. I'm going to hop in the truck here, but just drive me the few feet to the end of the driveway, where I'm going to hop out and follow you to Brantford'. Especially if there was some pre-meditated plan to kill TB, then why would they take the chance of both being witnessed when only one had to meet TB?
I don't know if this has been asked yet, but did TB have a dog at his home? I know I have seen pics of one, but is it his and was it there?
DM and MS could have parked the SUV on the road and walked up to the house which is not that far from the road IMO, to avoid SB getting a description of their vehicle, or they may have suspected there could have been security cameras outside the house (and maybe there is).
Were they concerned about leaving tire tracks in the driveway?
They could have claimed they parked on the road instead of in his driveway, as not to block his vehicle in for the test drive, and didn't realize the driveway widened near the house.
If you look at the few pictures of the Bosma's driveway, you will see it is
raised gravel and looks only wide enough for one vehicle to drive up or down, until it gets closer to the house. That would be hard for them to determine until they were up closer to house. But a good excuse none the less for not pulling into the driveway. TB's truck could have been parked close to the narrower part of the driveway. In the pictures you can see vehicles parked off to the left and right of the driveway, but that was only because SB had many visitors in her home during this horrific time.
Some people do not like people parking on their lawn for different reasons, e.i., can ruin the grass, cause ruts if wet, can destroy weeping tiles, drainage pipes, or they may have an automatic sprinkler system. IMHO if you do not personally know the homeowner, I would say it's just common sense a visitor wouldn't assume it's ok to park on their lawn.
Another thing we do not know is, how much time did the guys spend time inside or outside talking, and then going over Tim's truck before they drove away? This could be important as SB could have (and obviously was present long enough to get a description of DM and MS) been present during these times and would give her longer time to observe the perps.
I've never heard of someone dashing off quickly for a test drive. There is typically some conversation concerning the vehicle beforehand and especially with men IMO.
More food for thought, maybe the perps thought the person who owned the truck would be home alone. Did they consider killing TB on the spot, taking his truck keys and leaving with his truck? That could be why the two went to the house. Once they found out SB was there, they didn't want to take a chance as it could have been two on two and risky.
Did they plan DM would pocket dial MS while they were at TB's house or just leaving in the truck and MS pretended to be talking to someone who needed him, (gf, friend, mother) therefore he told DM just to drop him off at the road so he could get his vehicle to take care of whatever the
fake call was about? By this time DM and TB would be in TB's truck and on their way down the road with MS in the SUV following. At some point they pulled over and TB's life was ended.
Maybe they had no intentions of murder, it just turned out that way.
What we do know is TB was murdered and LE have arrested DM and MS in connection with his death, charging them with first degree murder.
There are so many possibilities we could come up with, but there is only one way it actually happened. We may never know the whole story of what transpired that dreadful night. But whatever did happen was senseless, cruel and evil. I pray for justice for Tim, his family and friends. I continue to give credit to the hundreds of police officers who have, and will continue to work hard to bring some justice to Tim. All MOO.
