I am sure both MS and DM were sweating because of the enormous publicity surrounding the missing truck and it's owner
When DM was arrested MS must have started sweating profusely
But where could he go ?? .... what could he do ?? .... he did not drive , likely did not have the finances to flee and disappear , about all he could do was trust DM would not turn him in , and hope police would not figure out he was the 2nd person.
With that in mind , he likely figured he should just "act normal" and carry on with life as usual
But boy .... I becha' he was sweating ...
MS could drive, and that's all that is important - he could have driven the Yukon and he could drive after the crime if he had wheels. In my neighbourhood there is a guy who has never had a driver's licence, then had this non-existent licence suspended for a DUI. He's since repeated that and now along with a second DUI he's been charged with driving on a suspended licence even though he never had one
No jail time and if there are any conditions, whoever is in charge of him doesn't care. Two days ago I was walking to the grocery store and he drove past. Ontario has a heavy drinking problem

I think DM and MS split ways to avoid being detected quite early on in that week, which is why DM ended up turning to CN and letting her in on what was up: he needed help with something and couldn't turn to MS. Probably if DM had MS do whatever CN did for him on the 9th they would have both been sitting in jail on the 10th. Because they split up, it bought MS almost 2 weeks.
I think MS's breach came because he didn't know DM drew CN into things until then. Perhaps MS thought everything was between MS and DM until CN was arrested. If he didn't see that coming, it would be a real shocker.
MS looked pretty relaxed and joyous at his sister's wedding 2 days before his arrest. Maybe he was able to compartmentalize? Maybe he cut out on DM and left him with the mess to clean up because he knew it was all on DM anyway, and he's only incriminate himself by helping DM out? (Like CN did.)
If MS was the streetwise one he'd be smart enough to cut ties with DM and not call, not visit, not go anywhere
near DM. (I wonder if he suddenly had to bail out of DM's residence and rush home to momma?)
That's plainly the best move since it leaves DM holding 100% of the physical evidence (truck, TB, incinerator).
Maybe DM was the talker and the driver but MS was the killer. MS might only be in charge of getting rid of the weapon he used - and he could have wiped that down and dumped it on DM too.
Then MS can say, listen, I was only along for the ride. Honest!
