Things are starting to really hit close to home for DM. I'm sure he'll give Uncle Robert his signature wave, followed by some serious stares. They're probably arguing that RB can't mention how whacked his nephew is. I somehow don't think it's TD with the legal arguments. MOO

Alma says he could see the MillardAir hangar from the meeting room at GA Masonry, where he was on May 9, 2013.

May 9 is the day the Crown alleges a truck consistent with one Dellen Millard owned moved a large trailer out of the hangar. A trailer with Bosma's truck in it was found at Millard's mother's house.

"I seen a truck coming from the hangar with the trailer, going down Jetliner. Made a left on Fountain Street. They made a U-Turn ... came back, turned down jetliner to the hangar, they went just passed the main door. The passenger jumped out of the truck. The door was going up automatically anyway. He went into the hangar." Alma said. The driver also got out and went into the hangar he said.

Nice, not only is there video surveillance evidence but an eyewitness as well. Surprise! I do have to wonder if he's not the only one?

Shown a photo of a large black fifth wheel trailer, Alma says that looks like the one, yes. #Bosma

 

[Ontario Mom]

Also, we haven't heard of an orange tarp have we?

 

[SnooperDuper]

Between them. As in.... ? I know what I'm thinking, but I'm not sure what that actually means.

Both of them were carrying it together? Mr. Alma seems to have a bit of a dialect - I seen them carrying it between them.

 

[ArianeEmory]

Also, we haven't heard of an orange tarp have we?

I was thinking the same thing.

Can it be what burned the square into the ground at the farm? I'd think burning a tarp would leave behind some kind of weird residue, no matter what it was constructed of--and orange sounds like plastic.

Alma now looking at the statement he made to police.
by Adam Carter 10:53 AM

"At that time I thought I seen two headlights [inside the trailer]," Alma says after reading his statement from May 14, 2013. "That's all."
