I am confused about the whole timing thing:
-paramedic William Smith arrived at 5 Maple Gate Crt. at 7 p.m., he said the man’s son told him he’d tried to get hold of his father for a few days before finding him dead in bed. The elder Millard was cold to the touch and skin was dark. “He was beyond assistance,” he said"
i)body was cold (so EMS knew body was long gone and no intervention required);
ii)skin was 'black' (so again, EMS knew body was long gone and no intervention required);
911 was apparently contacted around 7pm on Nov 29th; JC was chatting on the phone to WM in the early hours of Nov 29th, up until around 3am; so what does all of that indicate about time of death?? From 3am phonecall ending, to 7pm 911 call made, is around 16 hours; how many hours does it take for a body to become 'cold' and 'black'?
What does that imply as far as DM's whereabouts during which hours? Did he arrive home during the wee hours of November 29th, kill his dad, and then go out for the day/evening (to Smich's?), to return later in the evening on the same day (29th)? It will be interesting to hear MM's apparent testimony regarding this!
For the body to already be 'dark' and 'cold', wouldn't that kind of lend credence to JC's claim that she heard DM arrive home during her phonecall with WM which ended around 3am? Too bad it was disallowed. It will be interesting to hear the ME's autopsy findings in regard to TOD.
I had always thought that Mark Smich had also been living at the home with his gilfriend MM, at the time of WM's death?
