Tim Bosma was a happy young father with a promising future when he
listed his pickup truck for sale online, went for a test drive with
two strangers, and never returned. The story of the Hamilton man’s
strange disappearance in May 2013 captured headlines across the
country and took over social media, resonating with everyone who
had ever taken a test drive or bought and sold goods
online.

When Dellen Millard and Mark Smich were eventually arrested and
charged with Bosma’s murder, the mystery only deepened. Millard was
the wealthy heir to an aviation business. Smich was his
ne’er-do-well best friend from a middle-class family. There was no
obvious reason why the pair had made it their deadly mission to
steal a truck, murder its owner, and incinerate the body. Tim Bosma
was their randomly chosen “thrill kill” target.

Veteran journalist and private investigator Ann Brocklehurst had a
front-row seat at Millard’s and Smich’s 2016 trial, where many of
the questions about their shocking crime were finally answered.
Others still linger, waiting to be further explained at two more
murder trials set for 2017. Both Millard and Smich have been
charged with the first-degree murder of Laura Babcock, who
disappeared in summer 2012. And Millard alone faces murder charges
in the death of his father, which previously has been ruled a
suicide.
