I haven't been around here for AGES! My better half got ticked at how consumed I was by the Madeline McCann so I just shut myself down.
I have been lurking and reading on the forum here as I am positively stymied by this case and nothing seems to add up. I've spent a great deal of time trying to uncover something, anything, that would explain DM's involvement.
And then... I read a statement by his lawyer (I'd been wondering; what's a well heeled kid doing with a mall lawyer with an inflated sense of self?). He stated that he and DM met through "mutual friends" several months ago. Who are these "mutual friends"?
Looking back for cases the lawyer was involved in brings us to many unsavoury peeps. But of course, he's a defence attorney, they attract unsavoury peeps. He's represented a sex trade guy. Major heroine smugglers, other drug types and a couple of characters who were arrested for having prohibited weapons (semi-automatic handguns). He is also a parent of a kid or kids in a swim club having difficulty because a man coaching at the club was banished from coaching for his involvement in smuggling and dealing in steroids and ecstasy as well as helping dispose of the corpse of a murdered drug dealer/distributor by... burning the body! Yeah, I know. Purely coincidence.
The guys with the guns, though, has got me to thinking.... A 911 caller, who remains unidentified, was at a donut shop across the street from a strip club in Mississauga when he saw them flashing their weapons. The case was tried and two men were convicted. The case was appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada where their convictions were upheld... as of March this year. DM's lawyer represented one of them. It would appear that the guy he represented had a fair bit to lose if he had to go to jail. Not the least of which was his reputation.
Visiting seedy forums regarding the strip club I learned that one could obtain pretty much anything their hearts desired inside the doors of that club. From full on sex services to drugs of pretty much any kind. What kind of guys roam around with prohibited firearms in Canada? Guys involved in drugs or gangs or sex trafficking or all of the above.
Maybe I need a Carrie board (aka Homeland) to make sense of it all but something has me coming back to the same thing time and again....
Maybe, just maybe, TB was the 911 caller. Maybe the guys who were stopped and arrested in the parking lot across the street from the donut shop never found out exactly who it was that called the cops on them but DID notice someone driving away in a certain type of truck. Maybe, after losing their ultimate bid at appeal, they decided to seek out an exact vengeance on the 911 caller. Or maybe I'm crazy.
Heroine has been mentioned in reference to DM. Attributed as a quote by his friend AM (who has since shut down all of his social media as has his gf). Heroine has been associated with clients of the lawyer in more than one instance. Again... who are these 'mutual friends'?
Anyone think anything I've said makes ANY sense whatsoever?
Another thing that has me baffled is that not a single person has come forward who knows DM to say anything about him. Not a peep. The guy has to have friends, acquaintances, girlfriends - former and current. There is almost always people who come forward to say how shocked they are or how they aren't surprised. I find it astonishing that we haven't heard anything except from people who knew his father or him as a much younger kid.
