Olaf Heinzel, a spokesperson for Waterloo Regional Police, said local officers were assisting Toronto Police in an investigation and couldn't comment further.

Waterloo police Staff Sgt. Steve Dalrymple could not say why a drug unit was called in for the search, but pointed out they are not exclusively called in for drug busts.

"They are the ones who are trained in the handling of hazardous materials," he said.

NORTH DUMFRIES — After two days of scouring accused killer Dellen Millard’s farm, Toronto cops have yet to find any trace of his former girlfriend.

Ryan hadn’t seen his niece for a couple years, but he spoke to her on the phone just weeks before she disappeared. And during that conversation, his niece talked about a new boyfriend, a man Ryan now believes was Millard.

“My wife and I both think it was Dellen she was talking about because she referred to him being a pilot and a photographer,” Ryan said. “She also mentioned he was wealthy.”
He was concerned about the unsavoury crowd Babcock was keeping company with at the time.

Exclusive: Jail visits with Bosma’s accused killers
Dellen Millard and Mark Smich both say they want to tell their story — but can’t

The accused killer, who celebrated his birthday in jail on Aug. 30, said that "getting a visit is so rare" and called this visit from a reporter "precious."

Still, he insisted he could not talk. He has been incarcerated since his arrest May 10.

Millard stood tall behind the glass during the brief visit; his orange coveralls zipped up all the way, with the sleeves rolled halfway up his arms

.

An hour's drive away, Mark Smich sits in a matching orange jumpsuit in segregation at the Toronto East Detention Centre in Scarborough, where The Spectator visited him Wednesday morning.

Here, he is separated from visitors by both glass and metal bars — but unlike the private booth where Millard talked, there is one other inmate beside him, visiting with his girlfriend and a friend.

Police officers removed what appeared to be a large piece of farm equipment and a heavy board, both wrapped in plastic, from Dellen Millard’s North Dumfries farm Thursday morning.

Former Waterloo Regional Police officer Rob Brown tells CTV News...

“They may have new evidence leading them toward something that could be very miniscule, such as DNA placed somewhere,” he says.

As the mystery of a missing Toronto woman continues to wear on her family, the former owners of Dellen Millard's farm say they are distressed over another recent discovery — barrels of potentially hazardous materials...

On Friday night, officers packed up and left the farm, their search warrant expired, said Const. Victor Kwong...

"Over the weekend, we were trying to be hopeful, but the gravity of the situation is starting to sink in," said Babcock's uncle, Thomas Ryan. "They were at the farm for five days. They had dozens of officers there looking for something related to Laura, and still nothing. We're in the same spot we were 15 months ago when she disappeared."

The murder of Tim Bosma, the disappearance of Laura Babcock and the death of Wayne Millard are now officially part of a single, multi-jurisdictional police investigation.
Toronto’s Dellen Millard, 28, and Oakville’s Mark Smich, 26, were charged in May with first-degree murder in connection to Bosma’s death.

“The linkages could be as easy as a street name or a street address, could be a person’s name. Could be an object. It could be through [the Centre of Forensic Sciences], could be through DNA. Fingerprints. Those are linkages. Could be a statement, could be somebody that gave a statement in Hamilton’s case had information on a Toronto case. I’m not saying that’s the case.”

Tears from family, friends as Bosma's accused killers appear for pretrial

His accused killers, Dellen Millard, 28, and Mark Smich, 26, had separate, back-to-back appearances in a Hamilton courtroom Tuesday for the start of their pretrial.

A few details from court appearance yesterday

There is a brief discussion about having a certain woman removed from his "do not contact" list.

"At this stage, she has not given a statement to police and I can't say she has relevant information," Crown attorney Tony Leitch tells the court.

The judge is annoyed and says "I'm not going to deal with it now."

The Crown, he says, should have discussed this with him earlier.

Meanwhile, Tim's homicide case moves forward slowly. The morning began with a private judicial pretrial meeting between Takach, Crown attorneys Leitch and Craig Fraser, Millard's lawyer Deepak Paradkar and a representative from the office of Thomas Dungey, the lawyer representing Smich. Together, they began laying out the trial plan.
