Thank you again ABro for this writing. :tyou: :takeabow: You have given us some more interesting insight about DM and I found this tidbit quite intriguing. IMO I find it telling how he resented his father from a fairly early age and also mentioned being angry with his father in his jail house interview. With the wee bit of information available to date, we already have two known issues of resentment/anger toward WM. I've always assumed WM held the purse strings tightly when it came to DM and I believe DM very much resented that. That just may go to show why he would want to murder his father. When DM wrote his father's obituary and mentioned his father being frugal with himself but generous with others, and after reading your article, seems WM was generous with others...excluding DM and himself. Examples: DM dressing like a hillybilly in his younger years, eating pasta which is a cheap food staple and that's a possibly why WM bought it. Then looking at an adult DM who would be more in control of his life, we have DM who turned fashion conscientious, who went to chef school, works out trying to maintain an image. Resentment is a huge thing and especially toward a parent who is raising you. Did so many factors add up in the end causing DM to murder his father? Resentment, anger and maybe embarrassment? All MOO.
A chubby adolescent who
resented his father for allowing him to eat pasta non-stop after his parents marriage ended, Millard is clearly image conscious, expressing embarrassment in a letter that newspapers frequently run a photograph of him from his pudgy days. He is working out to stay in shape and not gain weight, he writes.

Left to manage that legacy, Millard says he turned his attention to the business but not without
resentment. I took it all pretty hard. It was a responsibility I didnt want at that time. I was angry at (Wayne) for the things I had to do because he wasnt there to do them.
He was frugal with himself and generous to others. The only people he feared were racists
He was patient and stubborn. He admired Christ, Gandhi and Lindbergh. He believed animal welfare was a humanitarian effort. He was a good man in a careless world. He was my father.

LOL we were both drawn to that same quote. Can I riff on resentment?

wearing a down-market Champion tee shirt, as carried by retailers such as Zellers, a pair of equally low-end track pants, and incongruously, instead of a pair of sneakers, a pair of well worn, unpolished black boots that might meet the dress code at school if only they were better taken care of. Oh well, maybe they are his only shoes?
Imagine while CM was (by reports on the aviation forums) a hard driving and dominant man, WM was quite passive, and unable to make a judgment and assert himself (e.g., the pasta, the drinking). The only things WM fought for (long hair) were IMO meaningless and inconsequential. (There is no trace of his environmental protection activities, no films, no one lauding him for his effort, nothing. Was he ever able to create some finished output, or was it all on hold while his lifestyle played out? DM suggested as much in WMs obituary. He was a man of vision. Yet To Be Realized... His last, still unlaunched, animal welfare mission is accepting donations. Did MB leave because of this stagnation? She was in it to begin it, what happened?) Likewise, IMO the only thing DM seems to have inherited from WM is the ability to make a hobby into a full time money pit.
Its all beginning to remind me of the Bathtub Murderers, who were local (Brampton? Mississauga?) girls who killed their alcoholic mother because they felt her drinking was keeping them away from the finer things in life. They got out after three years each. Perhaps that story helped DM feel justified in murdering WM. No more discount retailers and Kraft Dinner and cheap $12k fiberglass kit cars and being jerked around into managing some moneypit MRO project.
So look what the guy turned into:
The letters obtained by the National Post reveal a man with a flair for purple prose and expensive taste in clothes should he wear an Armani or McQueen suit at trial
Its quite apparent that he wasnt interested in WMs values. Its interesting, though, that he intended to buy his mother a luxury Tesla car. Perhaps in MB, DM saw a kindred spirit who loved the good life. Did you know MB was there the night WM died? Shes an Interior Designer shes made a career out of shopping for pretty things with other peoples money. How amazingly different these parents were in their lifestyle.
Throughout his letters, Millard makes multiple references to how he has convinced many of the guards and prisoners that he did not kill Bosma, the young Hamilton father who put his Dodge Ram truck up for sale online, went for a test drive with two strangers, and never returned.
Hes unable to distinguish between convinced and been put on ignore by. Yep. Sure. Whatever. Dont you know everyone here is innocent? How is he able to convince these people without getting into the facts of the case? He just feels that he has been successful in cultivating the image he wants to have, I guess. Hes playing DM. Oh sorry, Big D, in his mind hes trained them all to call him Big D.
I am glad that LE have been relentless in their persecution of DM, anyway.
