Hi all. Sorry if I sound like a broken record but I can’t get away from the organized crime theme. Once again, I think this case goes deeper than Dellen Millard. And I think it’s much bigger than a truck…probably about the size of an airplane hangar.
I originally thought that it stemmed because of WM applying for a new MRO licence with Transport Canada at YKF. I now think it’s because DM withdrew that application and wanted nothing to do with an MRO licence.(Mechanical, Repair and Overhaul of airplanes) .
Things we know: 1. CM and WM spent two generations at YYZ, first as a charter airline Millardair Ltd from 1963 to 1990 when it went bankrupt and more recently as a MRO from the 1990’s to 2012 operating as Millard Air Inc.
2. In a corporate bankruptcy the company takes the hit, the personal fortunes of the executives and directors stay intact. The people with claims on paper against the company lose. The Millard family is not winning any popularity contests here. “ People” who “invested” without a paper trail lose nothing as the “debt” is still outstanding.
3. Organized crime at Canadian Airports is a serious problem. Read the Globe and Mail take on it here.
http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/gangs-infiltrating-canadian-airports/article4188327/?service=mobile It would stand to reason that someone with a company involved with MRO and easy access to aeroplanes flying in and out of YYZ stands a good chance of getting approached to either get involved in criminal activities or to turn a blind eye to such.
5. In 2012 just before making a fresh start at Waterloo International Airport clearly there was some stress in WM’s life that caused him to commit suicide or bigger problems that caused him to be murdered. Considering the circumstances of his death and the area in which he worked I’m sure the case is still under investigation (but at a much higher level).
6. Somewhere in these two generations (CM & WM) made a ton of money .…enough that the third generation (DM) never had to work a day in his life except at things he enjoyed and was given to excesses, luxuries and indulgences. Call it La Buena Vida (the good life). I don’t think he cared where the money came from as long as he had access to it. From everything we’ve gleaned from social media I think we can all agree he was pretty self centred. He certainly wasn’t going to take on the headache of running a corporation with 100 employees without his father at the helm when it opened at the new location.
And because of that, a horrible chain of events got set off when he cancelled the MRO application. To organized crime, no MRO meant no access to planes. Did he wittingly or unwittingly stop a huge cash supply flow to organized crime at that point? Maybe he even refused to rent the hangar to them because he knows who they are. Is he avenging his father? And did the master criminals say if we’re not getting our millions you’re not getting yours either? I think this feud goes back one or two generations.
Were his “new friends” just currying his favour to get access to the hangar Who knows. All speculation. Money can buy friends but not brains.
So let’s just say for a moment that he got set up. The criminals get two punk kids who owe them through drug deals or loan sharks to make a hit. Tell them they will erase debts or give them some cash for a job. They try on Sunday in an industrial area. Nobody should be around then. Until the Hulk walks out of the door and they change their mind. Unfortunately TB happens to be the random murder victim the next day that fits the m.o., selling a truck, and willing to meet them at night. He’s brutally murdered and all clues lead back to DM. The two suspects become as expendable as chewing gum while DM’s “friends” keep him busy all week because they know it’s going down. They don’t want him around Waterloo. His orders are cancelled. Somebody doesn’t want any deliveries there either.
Why wouldn’t they just park the truck in the barn on the Ayr property and leave it? Why were clues spread all over? It was parked at his mother’s as a warning , as a sign to let him know who did it and a threat to keep his mouth shut. And there is no way out for him unless he talks. And if he would rather face incarceration and public disdain than give up a name , then it’s serious. Because even with just circumstantial evidence LE has him.
One last question. Why would an 8 million dollar hangar at an international airport filled with expensive toys not have CCTV? And if it had CCTV…where’s the tape?
