ExiledRed So the theory remains intact only with the following conditions.
OK, let me give it a try. Note to self: WHY are you defending this theory when there are so many better ones that serve to poke holes in the story as it's been revealed so far?
1) after the sale, and before TB exits the vehicle, DM leaves the scene.
Yes. Gets in what had been the following vehicle and drives home.
2) DM does not register the vehicle at the DVLA and get the plates changed ( it was reported missing, DVLA should know)
Yes. He presumes his delegates are doing that or have done that. According to http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/vehicle/used.shtml they have 6 days to do that. If the intention was to break down the vehicle for parts somebody would have to eventually return the plates for a refund, but I see no time frame for that.
3) Nobody else who is aware of the missing truck sees the vehicle wherever it was kept.
Correct. It's inside that big black trailer inside the hangar, then in Mom's driveway.
4) DM remains blissfully unaware of the TB case.
Apparently. He sounds rather chronically and habitually blissfully unaware of many things.
5) suspects #2 & #3 don't inform him of what happened.
Of course not. They're murderers who just pocketed up to 25 grand of the boss's cash. After delivering the trailer to Mom's driveway they've probably hopped the next direct flight to someplace tropical where there's no extradition.
definitely not working for me. The only way I see DM being uninvolved in the crime, is if it wasnt him on the test drive(s).
Also a good point. LE has not provided any information, nor do I expect they will do so, that confirms DM ever met TB. If DM has a verifiable alibi for the time period then the prosecution will face a steep uphill climb. If SB recognizes his face, physique and esp those tattoos, then the defense will face a steep downhill slope.
