In our previous episode, we shared that Toronto Police had reopened their investigations into the suspicious suicide of Dellen's father and the profoundly concerning absence of Dellen's ex-girlfriend, Laura Babcock, which occurred a year before the tragic murder of Tim. As we continue our series on the skid-mark of a human being that is Dellen Millard, we now turn our spotlight to the emotionally charged case of Laura Babcock's "disappearance."

Episode 61: Canada - The Crimes of Dellen Millard (Part 1)

This story starts with the 2013 disappearance of Tim Bosma. Tim’s case immediately gripped the nation because the circumstances leading up to his disappearance were so innocent and normal. Tim was an ordinary, everyday, working-class family man. A man everyone could relate to because we all know someone like him.
So, when he disappeared on a warm evening in May 2013, never to be heard from or seen again, everyone was captivated and confused as they wondered what happened, who took him, and most importantly, WHY?
The investigation to find him led to a sad and gruesome conclusion. Ultimately, the disappearance and murder of Tim Bosma unearthed 2 monsters and a disturbing pattern of theft, deception, and more murder.

MMM Case #2 - Saniyya Dennis

After Saniyya Dennis traveled to Niagara Falls, New York late on April 24, 2021, no one saw or heard from her again. After a centralized and brief search on the officials' end, the District Attorney's office said she took her own life in the early hours of April 25 by jumping off a bridge into the falls, saying there's "no evidence of criminality in her case." Saniyya's family was shocked - they know in their hearts she didn't take her own life. If something happened to their daughter, it was a result of foul play. The "evidence" presented by the DA's office that allowed them to come to this conclusion has left Saniyya's family with more questions than answers...
 
If you have any information about the disappearance and/or whereabouts of Saniyya Dennis, who has been missing from Western New York since April 25, 2021, please call the family’s confidential tip line at 716-336-3147.
