In May 2013, Tim Bosma left his rural Ontario home for a late-night test drive with two strangers interested in buying his truck. He never returned. Within days, police began unraveling a case that pointed not to desperation or profit, but to entitlement. The prime suspect was Dellen Millard, a wealthy aviation heir with unlimited resources, a history of thrill-seeking, and a disturbing habit of treating crime as entertainment.

Investigators uncovered a chilling trail of evidence: burner phones, GPS data, text messages about “missions,” and a custom-built industrial incinerator Millard called The Eliminator. Human remains recovered from the device confirmed Tim Bosma had been murdered. As the case expanded, detectives linked Millard to the disappearance of his former girlfriend Laura Babcock and the death of his father, Wayne Millard—initially ruled a suicide, but later reclassified as murder.

Millard and his accomplice, Mark Smich, were ultimately convicted for Bosma’s murder, with further convictions tied to Laura Babcock and Wayne Millard. Prosecutors argued that Millard killed not out of necessity, but boredom. Driven by power, control, and the belief that consequences didn’t apply to him, he did the unthinkable. Today, Dellen Millard is serving multiple life sentences, a stark end to a life that began with limitless privilege and ended in calculated violence.
