Rest in peace Sandra.  You will not be forgotten.

Thanks JB for posting this.

The lifting of the publication ban hasn't provided any surprise info. 

Saint John Police Chief Bill Reid recently indicated that the investigation is nearing an end.

I am shaking my head--but I have my fingers crossed. :-)

With different media outlets using different "police sources", there is going to be misinformation and leaks, especially in such a huge investigation as this one involving multiple jurisdictions.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be for the lead investigator (Det. Sgt. Matt Kavanagh) to control the media reports.  Although I appreciate his plight, I sure hope he wasn't being serious when he said. "I don't even know what thrill kill means".  Yikes.

"When it was reported that he owned an incinerator (??)  OMG!  Wonder if he fits into the category of "thrill-killer".. "  End Quote.


Meg isn't the only person questioning a thrill kill motive, and the possibility that there are more victims.  Take note in the following article that the suspect's father died of a gunshot wound, thought to be a suicide, which is now being questioned.

eport: Police Consider 'Thrill Kill' as Possible Motive in Tim Bosma Murder
AM980 News

5/16/2013

A disturbing possible motive for the murder of Tim Bosma has surfaced - Hamilton Police are reportedly considering the possibility the 32-year-old's murder was a "thrill kill."

A report in the Toronto Sun on Thursday quotes police sources suggesting investigators are seriously considering the possibility, and are looking into a small group of friends that spent time together and used social media as part of their activities.

27-year-old Dellen Millard, charged with first-degree murder, was part of that group. They do not believe Bosma was involved with this group in any way before his disappearance and death.

The paper reports one clue uncovered by investigators where the 32-year-old Bosma's remains were found was a portable farm incinerator, used to cremate dead farm animals.

Police are also taking another look into previous deaths. For example, Dellan Millard's father died last December from a gunshot wound to the eye.

Police originally believed it was a suicide, but the coroner may be asked to take another look into his death.

In other developments, Kijiji has made its first statement on the story.

Officials with the popular classifieds website are downplaying any potential role the site may have had in Bosma's disapperance. In a statement, Kijiji argues that the murder suspects would not have been able to contact Tim Bosma through its site, because he did not reveal any personal information on the site.

Kijiji says as part of the information that's been handed over to Hamilton Police, the website claims Bosma's ad did not receive any replies.

According to the public statement, "the incident did not occur as a result of his ad posting on Kijiji."

A user can choose after posting an ad on Kijiji whether or not they would like to display personal information. People interested in your ad can contact you by replying through Kijiji itself, but the website says nobody responded to Bosma's ad in that way.

Some reports have suggested that two suspects who showed up at Bosma's house on May 6 were directly responding to the ad. Bosma took two men for a test drive in the truck he had for sale and never came back.

The ad was also posted in AutoTrader.  End

This is so heart breaking and senseless.  My prayers and thoughts go out to Tim's family.  Rest in peace Tim Bosma.  There is a good chance for justice.  Bravo to the police for their efforts so far.

This is a case that seems to present a horrific story of the psychopaths/sociopaths who can show up at your doorstep.  Pure evil.

It makes me sick.

All I can say is THANK GOD they have found her guilty of first-degree murder.  I have been too drained to even talk about this case.

I had read somewhere that Mr. Oland was killed with a drywall axe.  Is it certain that the murder weapon is missing, or have LE not divulged this info?

"Okay somehow this thread is all about Jodi and not the subject matter."

You're right Logical--maybe somebody should start a Jodie thread and relevant posts could be transferred to it from this thread.

At this late date I am torn, whether the community should finally have media intervention, or whether LE should be allowed more time to arrest their suspect.

As I have said, I suspect something has gone terribly wrong in this case.  Take your pick--police incompetence or lack of experience, lack of hard evidence, pressure from a powerful family, political or social connections pressure, or they fingered the wrong person.

I am torn, because the media could find answers in investigating, and exposing anyone who is either sabotaging this case, or screwing it up.  I usually tend to go with LE and hope they are competent, and wait for them to finish their job.  But this case is more complex as we all know.

I agree jobo, it is frustrating to see how much so-called "prejudicial" evidence is not allowed to be heard by the jury.  This seems to be most frustrating in first-degree murder cases, where judges bend over backwards to preclude any grounds for the defense when they appeal the verdict.  First-degree murder verdicts are always appealed--they have nothing to lose. (especially death penalty cases)

It reminds me of the Tori Stafford case, whereby the judge wouldn't allow the killer's computer porn evidence--calling it "prejudicial".  This decision was very controversial, and IMO, set a ridiculous standard of how far judges will now go to avert any problems in appeal.  It also speaks for the grim reality of how far defense lawyers will go to further their careers.

Jurors shouldn't have to work with partial evidence, and perhaps make wrong judgements, because of defense lawyers.

This is the first trial that I have followed in great depth.  It has been riveting to say the least, but I'm glad it is almost over--I need my spare time back.  lol

Hi Lost,

The Bowmanville training centre was for boys, but was also involved in the abuse allegations.

London / Re: Jacqueline Dunleavy, 16, - London, ON - Murdered - 1968
« on: March 17, 2013, 09:14:23 PM »
The Police have stated that there were two serial killers in London during 1968 to 1972 .  I personally don't think that Jackie D's case  is related to Jackie E.  There are not similar in any way to connect to the same killer.

The biker gang who lived on Elmwood is interesting.  Jackie moved from that area a month before she was killed.  What was up with the biker gang?  Were they bad ass or did they fit in with the community?

My belief is that Jackie was killed by one of London's serial killers--the same one who killed Frankie Jensen.  The LFP reported that Jackie and Frankie Jensen were linked to the same killer, and they even reported that the killer's arrest was imminent. 

Obviously, something went wrong.  They couldn't get the hard evidence on him.  As far as I am concerned, LE know exactly who killed Jackie and Frankie, and a few others connected to them.  If they have the crime scene evidence (they do)--and re-tested it with the new DNA technology--they would solve multiple murders.  Why aren't they doing it?
