The parties were at Maple Gate from what I have been told so IMO. I found that early MSM report of the neighbours' reaction odd, given what is now public, and what was known by some in the neighbourhood at the time.
ABro observed at the time that neighbours often give good reports about the murderer next door at the time of arrest.
I then thought about my own situation - there's a family four doors down from me with a DM-aged son who partied and dealt drugs out of the house. He's been in and out of jail. I can honestly say that every time I met him he was a well spoken, humble young man, and I would probably tell MSM this if he were arrested for murder, out of fear of reprisal if I said otherwise, and would say nothing about activities at the house to MSM, to try and protect my property value.
Yes Matou- that seems extremely strange to me as well. IIRC, that engagement ended in May of 2011- so if my math is correct, that's a full 18 months later. DM was involved with CN since the summer of 2012, and was having a non-conventional relationship with LB prior to LB's murder in July 2012, so I'm a bit perplexed as to why an "ex" would be the one at Maple Gate when WM died instead of his girlfriend. Leads me back to the Woodbridge condo/ex connection- it's pretty clear now that the ex was still in DM's life in one capacity or another. Another "non conventional" relationship?Wow..lots to think about. Another murder charge for Mark Smich? Why was the ex-fiancee there? I thought they were done by Nov. 2012. Why was his mother there? For support?

IMHO, this is getting more bizarre by the day! MOO
Thanks for refreshing those dates Matou. The property was purchased in April/10 and went on the market in May/11DM and CN were together since the summer of 2011 based on the skydiving photos and also when he came back from Baja because she is holding the puppy he brought back from Mexico. When was the ex's house sold? The ex was still friends with DM on his fb until just after his arrest.
IMO, the information pertaining to Maple Gate in this news article is not accurate. Originally held by WM and his mother- DM replaced the elder Millard in 2008. When it was transferred to MB on May 17/13 for $1.00, it was WM and DM on title, even though it's highly likely that DM had inherited WM's interest in the property as "Right of Survivorship" upon WM's death. MOOThanks MsSherlock! I just reread this: DM bought Maple Gate off of his dad. Therefore he likely felt that he could have his friends move in. MsSherlock, can you check the info on this? TIA

Perhaps with MS living in the basement, DM's actually set him up nicely? IMO, having the "ex" there in the short time after WM's murder may indicate that DM was using the "ex" as an alibi, having just arrived back to his house with her or something- then discovering WM etc etc. The shock-horror-grief scene unfolding nicely with a reputable witness. Guess it wouldn't hurt MS to start singing before he gets slammed with another 1st degree murder charge. JMHO.

Sorry if I have missed it, but do we know who the attorney on record is for MS previous trouble prior to the death of TB?
Just thinking out loud here and I can't find the link, but I believe DP stated at one point that he was familiar with or had met DM prior to his arrest thru another case. (Please correct me if I am wrong) Could MS be the link to their "acquaintance".
Just curious where you have heard that there were wild parties at Maple Gate, was it in the MSM or is it something someone told you, as you seem to imply?

I'm not really sure, but wouldn't that now be a conflict of interest?
There is an ongoing case in Sarnia where the prosecutors are requesting that a defense lawyer be removed for a conflict of interest simply because he previously represented someone who acted as a go-between for letters delivered between his current client and the current client's co-accused.
Just curious.
IMO Barton St Jail would not be a place a young, attractive, upwardly mobile gal from Etobicoke would like to call home for any length of time. Doesn't sound like a bail hearing is on the near horizon for CM, considering the "voluminous" nature of the disclosure.Carly Conway ‏@carlyconwayCHCH 2h
Christina Noudga to appear by video again May 22 at 2 pm. She appeared by video today, said her name, "yes" and "thank you."

Seeing that her charges are specific to one particular day, it sure looks like Leitch doesn't want her getting sprung anytime soon. MOO
