When Wealth Boredom and Arrogance Collide: The Dellen Millard Murders

When Wealth Boredom and Arrogance Collide: The Dellen Millard Murders

In May 2013, Tim Bosma left his rural Ontario home for a late night test drive with two men interested in buying his truck. He never returned. What followed was a complex investigation that uncovered a case driven not by need, but by entitlement.

Authorities soon focused on Dellen Millard, a wealthy aviation heir known for risk taking and a pattern of reckless behavior. Investigators pieced together evidence including burner phones, GPS data, and messages referencing so called “missions.” Their findings led to a custom built industrial device owned by Millard, where evidence later confirmed Tim Bosma’s death.

As the investigation widened, police also connected Millard to the disappearance of his former girlfriend, Laura Babcock, and the death of his father, Wayne Millard, which had initially been ruled a suicide. Millard and accomplice Mark Smich were ultimately convicted, and Millard is now serving multiple life sentences.

This case raises an unsettling question about power, privilege, and accountability. When consequences feel distant, how far will someone go?
