Suspect #1: Dellen Millard *Charged* 1st Deg Murder 15 May 2013 #3

[Snoofo]

At WS, it's customary to allow blogs by professional journalists.

I am not sure of the professional part.

WS takes great pains to protect all victims including family of accused. What professional journalist worth her salt would make a baseless comment like calling MB "aloof" in this blog post? She has made no suggestion in the past or offered examples of why aloof but throws it in. A regular poster here would have such a comment deleted but it is allowed by a blogger? I just find it unfortunate. And all this fuss over a blog that gave us a whole lot of nothing. No professional journalism today, ladies and gents, just traffic.

If you don't care for what she writes, the solution is very simple. Don't read it. Those who do are welcome to critique the articles. Nothing wrong with that. What we are not going to do is bash the individual. The saying on WS is to criticize the post, but not the poster. Same goes in this situation.

And no, a post would not be snipped for the use of the word "aloof".

Tim Bosma murder: Two other cases with links to Dellen Millard added to joint probe

The murder of Tim Bosma, the disappearance of Laura Babcock and the death of Wayne Millard are now officially part of a single, multi-jurisdictional police investigation.
Toronto’s Dellen Millard, 28, and Oakville’s Mark Smich, 26, were charged in May with first-degree murder in connection to Bosma’s death. Now, after establishing an “investigative link” between the three cases, Ontario Provincial Police are directing the streamlined case under the province’s Major Case Management (MCM) system.

The MCM system was created after the 1995 Paul Bernardo trial and, according to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services website, it is “especially useful in helping police identify common links in crimes committed in different locations — crimes that might have been committed by the same person.”
While Toronto and Hamilton police are still “leading” their respective investigations, the MCM allows them to share their findings through a centralized software system. Ontario is the only place in the world to have this type of computerized network.
While Chamberland would not say what the investigative link is between these three cases, it seems clear: Millard.

There are 12 Major Case Managers in Ontario. The Babcock-Bosma-Millard investigation is being led by OPP Det.-Insp. Dave Hillman.

Hamilton police say they will no longer be able to respond to media inquiries relating to the Bosma case; Toronto police did not return calls Wednesday.

OPP D-I Dave Hillman handled the brief investigation into the blood on the yacht incident.

IMHO, considering the track record of TPS, this is the best thing that could have ever happened. Remembering back to the Bernardo case, it was the the total lack of communication between TPS and Niagara that sent alarm bells off. Now, on another note, to see this case escalate to that level really makes my ears perk up.

"The OPP is confirming they have found a link in three cases involving Dellen Millard.

An OPP spokesperson won’t say what that link is."

Found a link? A bullet type? DNA? Pictures or video's? A man in Etobicoke-suicide with a shotgun to the eye area of the head- a man abducted from Ancaster and found burned beyond recognition in the Waterloo area and a young lady from Toronto who's simply gone missing. There is a link in the fact that DM either knew these people or was the last person to see or talk to a couple of these people. Curious to see what other sleuthers think about this latest report that identifies "a link". MOO

Yes, curious .. another linked article upthread referred to it as an "investigative link" (however that might be interpreted .. I interpret that as "we investigated, thus we found").

To say they have "found a link" would indicate something other than just DM's existence ... his having a relationship to 2 deceased and 1 missing person in less than a year has been a common denominator right out the starting gate, so IMO that's not something that has just been discovered at this stage of the game.

 

[robynhood]

SB I know what ya mean common so called " link"....could be Dellen Millard! ( which we have known )

...JMO..it falls very close to after they searched DM barn because they said they had ....new info....( term I think they used)....IMO they have linked together as THIS" MAY 'be a LOT LARGER than we could IMAGINE.....again PB is keeping the news OUT..now it looks like absolutely NOTHING will be told to the PRESS....I FEEL THE A SENSE OF TENSION MOUNTING ....I AM CURIUS TOO....WHAT ARE other websleuthers' think....?????...robynhood.

 

[Eldee]

I was relying on you guys to help me out here. As our robynhood so aptly put it... I too feel a sense of tension mounting.... however, I have felt that tension mounting since the 3rd barn search. Please don't tell me they have been reading our posts and have finally put two and two together. I feel like we ( well, not me ) are always two steps ahead of the LE on this. So,,,, now they are getting serious. Didn't websleuthers 4 months ago link all of these cases up. Maybe I'm wrong. I can't remember anymore.

 

[matou]

Sounds like the link is more than having Dellen Millard as a common denominator:

When it comes to what links that cases together, OPP Spokesman Pierre Chamberland tells 570 News that, “We can’t discuss any link because it forms part of the evidence that we have to preserve for court purposes.”

However, no one can deny 28-year-old Dellen Millard appears in each investigation.

Right ... so not so much a coinkydink of him being 1 very unfortunate person with 3 separate cases somehow linked to him, but "evidence" that links them together. Hmm?

"... what that link is, uh, uh what those links are, what that link is ..." LOL (C'mon Pierre, is it those or that?)

 

[robynhood]

..IMO it is obvious this is sealed shut ..that exact link with all their evidence UNTIL court...late 2014...Huge SIGH!..if we are lucky..IMO and Toronto star posted( I shared link in previous post)

>>POSters have shown POLice do have evidence ( READ or listen to reports if in DOUBT.).(neighbors video do not lie, forensic evidence IMO they must have found lots on computers DM & MS as they were most definitely plugged in..IMO ......)..Police can not risk sharing...reminds me of Tori 's Case...
I do hope wesleuther's here can dig into this ...and it was said by LE this case made the hair on the back of his neck stand up...sooooooooooo hold on my friends..IMO this is going to be SCARY....robynhood...my own opinions posted here....:facepalm:

 

[Archangel7]

Sounds like they finally have a hard investigative link and if they do have a definite evidence link between all three cases, it's only a matter of time.

 

[SideKick]

In Canada a lot of the evidence isn't publicized like the U.S. does, for instance the Casey Anthony case. I agree with this latest news release it is coming from a confirmed fact that they have a link tying all 3 people. It has to be more than the physical DM. The mystery is killing me as we wait for trial. I just cannot believe DM is innocent in anyway. He is a smooth talker not a well behaved young man who is apparently not full of himself.
Shocking as one never knows who anyone is really? I swear I saw him near Eglinton and Laird Toronto) driving once.... I think it was the hair and a pickup, tho.... It's probably my imagination. LOL

 

[LadyL]

So who else thinks the 'links' are drugs, chopshopping, and money laundering (with international/across the border ties) and the three unfortunate victims are only dead/missing because they were witnesses to some portion of the illegal scheme.

Doesn't the fact that there are three victims put DM in the category of serial killer?

 

[hopingforjustice]

That's been my gut feeling from day 1.

Tho it does seem logical HFJ... I just don't get how Tim Bosma ties in with that. He places an ad to sell his truck. DM and crew go and do the unthinkable to him. If he had witnessed a crime of sorts, why not just go to his house or deal with him? The ad then throws me off. LB, yes, I can see where she could have witnessed something. WM... Yes. The whole father son connection is just ODD.

 

[matou]

I wonder if DM placed want ads for the truck engine he was looking for? It would have been easier that way IMO to find what he wanted. I wonder if his other phone (used for the kijiji shopping) or another of his phones was called by Laura B when she was so desperately trying to reach him? I wonder if he impersonated his father at some point and signed off on something or ordered something that was traceable to him and he charged his dad or the business for it? I think LE may have info on other phones he used and have linked them in these cases. JMO
