McLellan walks us through fingerprint testing and gunshot residue testing which they did in various spots in the truck. #Bosma

Forensics also searched for hairs and fibres in truck. #Bosma

The GSR testing was done first, and then the investigators searched for fibres. #HamOnt #timBosma #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 1m1 minute ago
Did GSR testing first because those particles are so fine. Also GSR samples from seat cushions.

Crown has to supply a disclosure that lawyers can decipher. They may have concluded already that they can. No point handing over disclosure that may well have been written in Mandarin IMHO.

We're back to blood. Looking at the passenger side of the rear wheel well. A number of photos showing areas tested for blood #Bosma

Now seeing the rear wheel well on the passenger side, and red dots are shown that investigators believed were blood.

Seem to be a lot of red dots.

Absolutely. Posted before I saw your post, thank you!! I didnt know about the law change.

Now being shown photos of the step under the truck's door. There was a little soil found on the step that also tested positive for blood.

Maybe MS was driving the Yukon and had nothing to do with the shots being fired?

From the Crown's opening address:

The Crown intends to prove that on this date in the late evening hours, Tim Bosma was killed in his truck, shot by the two accused at close range, while on a test drive with his truck; his body then incinerated hours later by the two accused.

I know that we have been down this road for close to 3 years but I still can't help but feel that if they wanted to steal a truck that badly and had access to trailers and winches, they could have just stolen it from the driveway in the middle of the night or even covered their faces and done a home invasion. DM had $$ to buy a truck, the tools that would have made it easy to steal the truck and yet this was the outcome. This is really stinking of a thrill kill to me.

Yeah. I keep wondering why they were dumb enough to shoot out the window of the truck that they obviously also wanted. I assume it was just some murder/gangster fantasy being lived out, and it was worth it to DM to blow out the window in the process.

Sort of like the killing of two birds with one stone. Kill someone for kicks, plus get a truck out of it. :sick:

If it is the outside...They had to take him out of the truck at some point.... I'm thinking that could be how the blood got there. MOO

Areas of interest for blood on driver's side running board. #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 44s45 seconds ago Hamilton, Ontario
Dried blood picked up from seat bolts #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 35s36 seconds ago
Swabs from areas where seats would bolt into floor. Swab down into the hole for blood.


***This is very impressive work IMO

Little dots of blood were found on the chrome step of the passenger side as well.

Swabs were also taken from the area where the front seats bolt in to the floor of the truck. Blood was found in the hole down in the floor pan, she says.

Photo titled "Swab from Area where Seat Bolts In - Bloodstain" Expert spotted it with her naked eye and flashlight #Bosma

Who needs tracking devices when we have "smart phones". They should have read a few mobster books- that's why they prefer land lines. lol MOO

Sure can tell that the people involved in this case were NOT Websleuth members!!!!

I think that some of this flying blood may also be attributed to the tearing out of the blood soaked interior of the vehicle? Can we assume that any carpeting was also removed and burned? Don't think we've heard about that. I guess a good power wash before taking it to the auto body shop would have been the next step?

MOO

So "undercarriage" might mean the floor of the truck not the underside of the truck maybe?

The passenger doors were swabbed too - not because blood was seen, but because it's an area people usually touch in a car.

Now being shown photos of the front passenger door."When we opened it up, along the very bottom edge of the weather stripping ... there were a lot of various blood stains along the bottom," Mclellen says.
