Summary
The episode explores the notorious homicide of Tim Bosma, a Canadian man killed after accompanying two strangers on a truck test drive. Dellen Millard and Mark Smich were eventually convicted of the crime, but the text highlights a troubling pattern of overlooked criminal activity involving Millard. Investigations by The Fifth Estate suggest that authorities may have failed to properly scrutinize Millard during the prior disappearance of Laura Babcock and the suspicious death of his father, Wayne Millard. By examining witness testimony and police records, the episode questions if earlier law enforcement intervention could have prevented Bosma’s murder. Ultimately, the report profiles the killers while critiquing the systemic investigative lapses that allowed Millard to remain free for years.
