I have followed the Bosma/Millard/Babcock cases with great interest, geographically it occurred close by, and with my own interest in private aviation - My own awareness of the Millard dynasty extends back 40 years, going to area airports in SW Ontario .. as a child in my family, you didn't go to a ballgame on a Sunday with Dad.. you went flying a couple hundred km's for an airport greasy-spoon lunch-special.

As well, at least three other people may be the alleged link between Millard and an illegal firearm.
On Tuesday, three men were brought before a Toronto court to face charges of weapons trafficking. The arresting officer was Const. Jennifer Cash, who took over Babcock’s missing persons file before homicide’s Det. Mike Carbone was put in charge.
When contacted by the Star on Friday, Mathew Odlum, 27, confirmed his charge of trafficking a firearm was linked to the police case against Millard.
“I think you might think that I’m a little more involved in this than I am,” Odlum said. “We’re going years back, this is from two or three years ago.”
Odlum said his understanding is that police allege he illegally sold a gun to Millard. When pressed for details, he quickly got off the phone, saying he wanted to speak to a lawyer.
“I really wasn’t expecting this at all, the Toronto Star to be calling my house.”
According to the information filed in court, Odlum is co-accused with two others: Matthew Ward-Jackson, 26, of Mississauga, and Matthew Jackson Wawrykiewicz, 28, of Aurora.
Ward-Jackson is additionally charged with two other firearm trafficking offences from February and September 2012.
All three names appear on a newly filed list of people Millard and Smich have been ordered by the court not to have any contact with.
Police allege all three trafficked a gun between June 1, 2012, and July 30, 2012.
I have read theories in which DM is considered the older 'Alpha' in the apparent friendship with MS, who is generally viewed as the 'stray-dog' sidekick in the relationship.
MS is definitely out of character, in the scope of the broader social circle that DM apparently had. He does not fit, as someone who DM would associate with, unless there were significant personal benefits to him in terms of personal advantage.
MS, in my opinion, is a 'greasy individual'. He's got the connections in the grey areas of illegitimate, illegal activities of society - more so than DM would have had in his background. Petty vehicle theft is not something that DM would aspire to normally, with his acquired wealth - this is more of an opportunity of relationship, that someone like MS would work to his advantage for.
Above all, it is definitely a co-dependent personal relationship. For MS, it's all about the fringe-benefits of having a generous friend. For DM, it's about the social circle that MS has access to, and all the 'greasy' activities that they are involved with.
Again, IMO - these new revelations that there are illegal gun trafficking charges associated with this, are huge.
I'm also guessing that MS has rolled on DM, and is cooperating in this case. MS has likely entered into plea-bargain arrangements to minimize his legal exposure to the current charges - revealing his source of the firearms that were potentially involved in the LB, WM, and TB cases under investigation. I'm betting that MS acted as a middle-man to enable the transactions between these new suspects named in The Star article, and DM. These new suspects related to the gun trafficking charges, are also of the same age group, as MS. I could see a prior personal relationship or association with MS's social circle - not so with DM.
Keeping in mind, MS 'moved' to Oakville with his family circa 2008 at age 20, from the Scarborough area, purportedly in order to remove him from the gang-elements and ne'er do-wells that were leading him astray. I'm guessing that the associative 'intervention' failed, and MS maintained some or all contact with them.
Related to the victim cases, the timings of these alleged gun trafficking transactions, is chilling. For myself, it clearly ties together some of the more fragmentary elements of these cases.
