In this episode of Verona Investigates, I uncover the chilling crimes of Dellen Millard and Mark Smich, two men responsible for a series of brutal murders that shocked Canada.

I begin by exploring Millard’s privileged upbringing as the heir to an aviation empire and his descent into crime, alongside his troubled associate, Mark Smich. Their reign of terror started with the disappearance of 23-year-old Laura Babcock in 2012, followed by the murder of Millard’s own father, Wayne Millard, later that year. However, it wasn’t until the tragic killing of Tim Bosma in 2013—after he innocently listed his truck for sale online—that their deadly pattern was exposed.

Through in-depth analysis of police investigations, trial proceedings, and chilling quotes from the perpetrators, we examine how Millard and Smich covered their tracks and the disturbing lengths they went to in order to eliminate evidence—including the use of a specialized incinerator. I also discuss the trials, sentencing, and the lasting impact on the victims’ families.

Finally, I compare their crimes to other notorious Canadian killers, such as Paul Bernardo and Luka Magnotta, shedding light on the psychology of individuals who kill for power and control.

Tune in for a deep dive into one of the most infamous crime cases in modern Canadian history.
