A couple of questions:
1. Goes to the reference of Cyrillic messages possibly associated with this case and the travel itineraries of DM. Given the significant influx of eastern European bratvas into Canada, especially Toronto, is anyone aware of "political" links between the Dixon True Bloods and/or the West Side Gang. (Have these last two may have merged?)
2. What do we know about where MO fits in, the guy who was interviewed by the Star shortly after the gun trafficking charges came down. What's his association with the various other Matthews?
3. ABro mentioned that the 53 year old guy who hangs with this bunch has a surname "Horth", not "North". Have we sleuthed anything else about him? I thought I'd bingoed with JN who manages a body shop on Dixon Rd right behind the airport, but I guess not. So who's Horth? And what is his association with these maladjusted kids. Mind you MJW is reportedly 27, not exactly a kid anymore, but then I guess covering your visible skin with aggressive tattoos doesn't exactly enhance your uptown job prospects.
Finally, a quick comment. I'm not sure that this alleged murder of TB can be characterized as a gang initiation given that, allegedly, he'd also murdered a girlfriend and his father. It seems to me that should already have fully satisfied even the most brutal of West Side (Sierra Leone inspired) and or Dixon Rd (Santa Muerta) requirements. Besides that, if the challenge was just to murder a stranger and steal his old vehicle, I'm sure there would be plenty of opportunity to carry out such a hideous task without leaving an incriminating trail of glow-in-the-dark breadcrumbs behind. Really. How stupid are you expected to be in order to be accepted into one of these outfits.
Oh, and another quick comment. Google around and you'll find that Millardair has, for decades, transported vehicles, car parts and even exotic animals across the border. On some occasions they've run afowl (no pun meant) of American or Canadian animal import regulations. Here's one from as far back as 1980
www.animallaw.info/cases/caus2orw301.htm I probably should point out that most small, independent airlines are like small independent truckers. They don't ask lots of questions other than those necessary to insure they're paid. So we can't necessarily fault MillardAir for dealing with some questionable characters. Just sayin'.
But flash forward to the present to note that there is, of course, more than one individual associated with this case who is linked in one way or another to this multi-million dollar import trade and, interestingly enough, this is not the only link between them. Probably co-incidence. Right?
With further respect to MillardAir history and just for the record (if anyone is keeping one) it was Carl, then Wayne's, Sales and Services person, EG (
not the EG from the Obituary) who organized and advertised all the various hangar photo shoots for local photographers, including supplying the models, etc. The "Studio Day" that caught everyone's attention was the "Suicide Girls" photo shoot wherein then teenaged DM happily took pics of buxom girls in the buff. As it turns out EG is a "model" herself - also aspiring actress- who has been featured on Model Mayhem. A bit long of tooth now, if you ask me, but if you're dying of curiosity I guess you have to google "istudio" plus her name where she advertises herself as an "artistic mude model". I guess "mude" is either a typo or a nude who doesn't like to chat much.
Anyway, as I said, "small world".
Or, as DP reportedly said, way back near the beginning, "You'll never believe the true story of what really happened."
Re the question of whether DM is still in solitary. I'm betting an emphatic "yes" and so far quite happily relieved to be so.
ALL IMO OF COURSE. THAT'S 100% IMO.
