September 19, 2024Dellen Millard, Canadian Serial Killer?
Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee for the story of Dellen Millard and Mark Smich. Dellen was cold and calculated, thinking he was going to get away with a triple murder. Laura Babcock was listed as a missing person, Tim Bosma was missing, and Wayne Millard was a suicide. Dellen was innocent right? Just someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, because he wasn’t sloppy enough to make these kind of mistakes… or so he said.
