General Discussion and Theories #4

[swedie]

As a woman who holds a private investigator license and promotes herself as an investigative journalist, I'd say that her website holds more legitimate information on the cases that she chooses to report on than anywhere else, including most MSM. She gets out there, finds and interviews people, researches online (including being a member here) and attends all court hearings. Much more than any other journalist covering this case, perhaps with the exception of Molly Hayes who actually interviewed both suspects. When she can report the facts she uncovers she does. When they are covered by a publication ban, she does not.

Her name is on that site and she's accountable for everything she writes. Good enough for me to trust her information.

MOO

:goodpost: I agree Kamille. Ann's marvellous at what she does and she's had many years of experience. Keep up the fantastic work Ann. Looking forward to all the information you will be providing us during and after the trials, on this case and many more. Best wishes and :tyou:

[modsnip] Personally, I'm too cheap to pay for my news. I do wonder if any of her fans here have paid the subscription fee, and if it has garnered them any information that hasn't been discussed here already? I'm sure many here would be interested to know that, I imagine I'm not the only cheap one I guess I feel that if there was new information that was verifiable and newsworthy, I would hear about it through the mainstream media, for free. All just my opinion only, not trying to ruffle any feathers.

Onto another, less controversial topic; suicide. I realize that this is a sensitive issue for many, it touches many lives in many different ways. Sometimes we can see the signs ahead of time, and sometimes it comes as a complete shock to those who later say, 'But they had so much to live for!' Look at Robin Williams for an example. it's easy to ignore or make fun of invisible illnesses like depression, depressed people usually go out of their way to hide their depression or at least downplay it's severity. Not only do they not want to worry their loved ones, but depression lies and tells them that their loved ones don't care, they don't want to know and they probably don't really love them anyway, and they feel that the world would be better off without them. Depression, stress and anxiety change not only the thoughts, but the brain itself.

Not necessarily, but you said he was there and that DM was angry because he wasn't there. He can't be both there and not there.

When did WM acquire knowledge or experience in running an MRO? I know he had experience as a pilot and maybe of an FBO, but when/where did the MRO experience come in?

Personally, I don't believe that either drove MA into the ground. They simply didn't get the contracts.

JMO

BBM - As debated and discussed many times, whose fault was that? It wasn't WM's as he was very optimistic unlike his son. AS kept in close contact with WM and no doubt voiced his concerns about the condition of the hangar, that it was unfit for viewing by potential professionals who considered doing business with MA. DM had no obligations to AS and once WM was out of the picture DM could have let AS go and hire someone else if he felt he had the ambition to carry on the MA legacy. Obviously a established company is making a go of it.

DM wanted pay day to happen in one big chunk, in millions and sooner then later, instead of earning his pay and having to work for it...long drawn out process for someone wanting big bucks here and now so to speak. MOO.

the company belonging to aviation heir and accused killer Dellen Millard, is now being leased to Chartright Air Group, a private charter flight, jet rental and aircraft maintenance company.

Now the hangar will become the newest location for Toronto-based Chartright, which operates six locations across the country, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Regina and Timmins.

The hangar made headlines when police discovered a cache of stolen auto parts within its walls in May 2013,

In a news release, the Waterloo Region International Airport said it expects the new facility could generate up to 40 new jobs.

Something to consider is that Robin Williams' autopsy showed he had a form of dementia, a neurodegenerative disease known as Lewy Body Dementia. It is believed his declining brain function and its associated symptoms were either the trigger or factors in his suicide.

I wonder when WM's last physical was and what kind of physical health he was in. He certainly comes from a family known for their longevity. I hope the autopsy was thorough for him.

Just to bounce off your post swedie, didn't the operating license for the MillardAir MRO just get approved in November 2012? Do we know what actual day in November that license was granted? Why would WM think, in less than a month, there would be no customers? You'd think for that month at least, he'd be in a great mood that he received the MRO license.

On the other hand, maybe that was the last opportunity his son was counting on to be able to get out of actually working for a living? Perhaps that license approval was not good news to DM.

MOO

Exactly Kamille, WM would have been on cloud nine knowing his dream was finally being realized. His plan was to secure a future for DM. IMO DM was a thorn in his father's side when it came to MA's new hangar. Doesn't sound like DM cooperated with anyone who had anything to do with the hangar project. DM only saw one way out and that was to murder WM. MOO.

The giant hangar, built in 2011, never housed a single jetliner for repair. It never provided 20 aircraft maintenance jobs that regional council anticipated it would create.

Today, secrecy surrounds the negotiations that led to the hangar. Regional government would not release documents. While Dellen Millard waits in jail for trial, his family firm has blocked the release of government-held documents.

Victor Aveiro attended the meeting. He said in a statement: "You are correct that Aveiro would have led the discussions regarding the hangar as we were the general contractor that built the facility, however, anything that you would like to know about Dellen would not come from Aveiro as we dealt primarily with his father at the time."

By the fall of 2010 the airport was preparing its expansion, amid some uncertainty. Minutes of a design meeting state: "There was an indication that the Millard development may not immediately proceed."

By 2011 the ambitious hangar project was back on track. Council voted to lease the hangar site for 50 years at $19,000 a year.

http://www.therecord.com/news-story...aster-inside-the-secret-millard-negotiations/

Airport supporters do not see the failed jetliner plan as unrealistic. &#8220;From our perspective it was solid,&#8221; airport manager Chris Wood said.

&#8220;It was a legitimate investment when it came to the airport,&#8221; Regional Chair Ken Seiling said.

Wayne Millard, father of Dellen Millard, negotiated the hangar lease. The building permit was approved July 18, 2011. The hangar was declared fit for occupancy Feb. 23, 2012.

On Nov. 1, 2012, Transport Canada approved Millardair to maintain jetliner components such as engines. Wayne Millard died a few weeks later in an apparent suicide that homicide detectives are now investigating.

[Kamille]

It can't be easy to get an MRO license and I'd think the fact that WM was able to obtain one for a new and improved MillardAir would have made him feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Once that was obtained, the push would have been on to secure some contracts. I find it very hard to believe that WM gave this process less than 30 days before taking his life, leaving everything to his son to deal with. And letting down the people/friends that he had brought on board to be a part of the new company. Just doesn't add up to me. At all.

As for LB, was she not living apart from her parents when she disappeared? If she had committed suicide, what did she do with her purse full of identification, personal items and clothing that she was likely carting around in a suitcase of some sort, cell phone, iPad etc. Again, I find it very hard to believe that not one item has turned up. Unless they were all incinerated? Which kind of makes suicide for her unlikely as well.

MOO

 

[swedie]

LE have the evidence to prove DM murdered LB and his father. They are not just grasping at straws or speculating. LE don't lay murder charges just because. And for LE to charge just DM with his father's murder, tells us LE were able to find evidence to prove DM was the sole murderer of his father. Had they not found evidence WM was murdered, WM's death would have left their investigative findings ruled suicide.

I suspect LE had assistance from at least one person the eve of WM's death, in helping LE come to the conclusion of suicide. There would have been a lot of talk from DM to investigators about how WM was doing a lot of drinking and negative talk, re: failed business, failed relationship(s), etc. to aid them in their investigation, leading them to rule WM's death a suicide.

Perhaps the meeting between AS and DM was a setup by DM to have as evidence as to WM's state of mind (according to DM). I wonder if LE called AS after WM's death and asked him about WM's state of mind? It will no doubt be interesting to hear what further information AS has to share on the witness stand. ALL MOO.

However, something about that gruesome discovery compelled investigators to shine a new light on two other cases to which Millard was already tied.

The death was initially deemed &#8220;not criminal,&#8221; according to police.

Dellen Millard was questioned, according to his lawyer, Deepak Paradkar, but police ruled the death an apparent suicide.

His father&#8217;s body was cremated at the Riverside Cemetery & Cremation Centre in Toronto and interred at an unknown location.

However, after charges were laid in Bosma&#8217;s murder, the office of the Ontario chief coroner said the investigation into Wayne Millard&#8217;s death was &#8220;still ongoing.&#8221;

&#8220;(It&#8217;s) open and has not yet concluded,&#8221; Cheryl Mahyr, the coroner&#8217;s issues manager, said in May.

Nov. 30, 2006 WM spoke to writer BT about his father CM. The bold part below...did CM and WM state this sort of phrase many times to DM, thus the ambition tattoo? I speculate WM was at the hangar most days by the way it's worded, underlined and bold. Otherwise he would have said CM was going, not coming in kwim. Most certainly much of CM's and WM's talks where to do with MA, business and flying. Seems WM was taking his father's advice by building the Waterloo hangar and when he inherited his father's estate, he did just that. He was hoping to secure a future for DM. Unfortunately DM did not appreciate what his father did for him, nor was he interested in even giving the business an honest try. IMO I bet there were many heated arguments to do with MA and money shortly before WM was murdered. MOO.

It wasn't that Carl Millard was a curmudgeon "but he realized you
couldn't be a wimp and run an airline,"

"We own the hangars and Dad decided there was more money in being in
the hangarage business. Up to a few months ago, he was coming in every
day for a couple of hours, just to make sure everything was running right.

"And there's a chance we'll be flying again. Dellen is 21 and he's
thinking of getting things going with helicopters this time. Dad would
like that."

Does anyone know if CM was cremated or not and where his final resting place is?

 

[Sillybilly]

Thinking back to WM's email to a friend in August 2011, the following phrases stand out to me:

from:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ner-operations.html+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca

However through a series of good coincident for me (it seemed like an angel was causing some things to happen) ...

Well, more good fortune came my way ...

lease &#8211; which we are signing onto this month &#8211; i&#8217;ve got it here on my desk looking it over, it&#8217;s really good ...

Another piece of good luck came my way ...

Not one negative expression or woe is me, but the thought processes of a still ambitious, positive thinking, forward thinking, upbeat type of personality .. not a negative thinking individual, someone prone to drinking themselves into oblivion, and one day suddenly deciding to end their life.

If you read the comments, AB also mentions that WM sent another email to the same friend that was so "angsty" the friend deleted it.

Both CM and his wife Della were interred at the Meadowvale Cemetary. There was nothing in the obit to suggest cremation.

Maybe it was about his concerns about his son not wanting to get up before noon to come to work or clear his "junk" out of the hangar so they could start showing it to potential clients.

The emails in question were from 2011 - the optimistic one in August and the "angsty" one around the time of WM's birthday. The building permits for the hangar weren't acquired until July 2011 and construction began some time after. WM mentioned in his email that they hoped to have the hangar finished by the winter, but as of August the construction had not yet begun. The occupancy permit wasn't acquired until February 2012. The hangar may not have even existed at the time the angry email was written.

That sounds quite likely and logical Kamille.

The friend did not know Dellen Millard, but there are some references to him in the emails that were kept and passed on to me. My interpretation of the rather scanty information is that both his parents were concerned about him, but I could be reading too much into things.

 

[swedie]

So DP is no longer on DM's case. Perhaps it had something to do with the transferring of properties? And of course DP is going to say that, he's the one who was handling the case and the transfers I agree with Andrew...it's beyond smelly. And he signed them on a Saturday none the less. It couldn't have waited until Monday? That's a dedicated lawyer for you. Obviously DM knew he wouldn't be leaving jail any time soon. MOO.

"The timing is beyond smelly. It doesn't make sense to me," said Andrew Fortis, real estate lawyer with Hummingbird Lawyers. "It raises a lot of red flags."

Millard's lawyer, Deepak Paradkar, dismissed the allegations.

"I don't think there's anything unusual about a family member taking over assets while you're in jail," he said in an interview. "I don't believe there's anything untoward."

On the day after his May 10 arrest, Millard, 27, hastily signed over power of attorney to his mother, Madeleine Burns, from the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre, public records obtained by the Star show.

Millard signed the May 11 document alongside Paradkar.

On the same day, police announced the discovery of Tim Bosma's 2007 Dodge Ram pickup truck parked inside a trailer belonging to Millard on the driveway of Burns's Kleinburg home.

A judge would ultimately rule on whether the transfers are null after hearing arguments on why they were made.
