a test drive and never returns. >> i plead to whomever has my husband to please let him go. >> what the investigation uncovers only deepens the mystery. a wealthy heir to a family fortune, a missing girl, and a machine called the eliminator. just when. >> you think something stranger. >> couldn't happen. >> it does. >> thanks for joining us. we begin in new orleans, where police are investigating the suspicious death of a sports reporter who was in town covering the super bowl. a woman is under arrest, and she is no stranger to police. it was a dream assignment for 27 year old abadon manzano, the telemundo sports reporter sent to new orleans to cover the super bowl. >> o's. >> but the dream assignment in the city, known for hard partying and celebration, would take a deadly turn, leaving a recent victim furious that this could happen again.

>> i'm pretty angry. and i'm angry because the justice system failed. >> and police searching for answers. >> this is what every. >> major city. worries about. >> abadon manzano had been working for the kansas city spanish language station since 2021. it's a job. he landed right out of college. this was supposed to be his third super bowl. but just days before kickoff, manzano would be found dead in his hotel after his colleagues reported him missing. >> upon the detectives. >> processing the hotel. >> room, mr. manzano. >> hotel room, they. discovered that a credit card. >> was missing. it was the same credit card that was used to check into the hotel. >> at a news conference, kenner police chief keith conley says manzano's cell phone was also missing and his credit cards had been used in several stores in the new orleans area. these are the last images of manzano alive. surveillance photographs obtained exclusively by the daily mail show manzano walking

to his hotel. police say the woman in front of him is nannette colbert. police released this separate hotel surveillance image from a hallway camera to true crime news. it shows the pair a couple of minutes later getting off the elevator. police say they headed toward manzano's room. >> a short time later, the female left and came back. and then by 6 a.m, she left and never returned. >> chief conley says colbert is known to investigators in the new orleans area and has a sordid criminal history for fraud, leading some local officials to dub her the bourbon street hustler. >> miss colbert has quite a record and a rap sheet for confidence games, access device fraud and robbery schemes. so the investigation led to a search warrant and an arrest warrant, one being issued for the person of miss colbert and the other for her residence in slidell. >> so far, colbert has been

charged with bank and computer fraud and purse snatching. they were able to track her down using cell phone technology in the french quarter. >> she was carrying that phone everywhere she was going. we were up on her phone, so we knew her whereabouts and her comings and goings, so we knew where we could find her. >> chief conley says more charges could be added as they are awaiting toxicology reports and believe that manzano may have been drugged. the chief also says investigators are aware of similar circumstances in the past, like the one that included a fraud case in the french quarter where david butler says colbert drugged and robbed him of his life savings. true crime news was able to find butler. he didn't want his face identified, but agreed to read us his victim impact statement. >> i accepted a seemingly innocent invitation to share a drink, as i have done countless times in my life. miss colbert and her associate approached me friendly and inviting, and i joined them at a nearby bar. i

took a few sips of my drink and almost immediately i felt strange, overpowering sensation. i knew i needed to leave and tried to, but miss colbert followed me, guided me toward an suv, and offering to help me home when my friend finally found me. he thought i might be dead. and even after i regained consciousness, i felt lost, to y awaken. >> despite asking for a tougher sentence, a new orleans judge sentenced colbert to five years probation and police fear there are other cases they don't know about. >> every day we're learning more and more. so she is a career criminal. her criminal history consists of these confidence games where she lures men into her confidence. they ended end

up incapacitated through some means by the time they come to, and they're disoriented. she's already taken off with their property, their money, their credit cards. >> meanwhile, it had been a difficult year for abadon, whose wife ashley tragically died in a car accident last spring. their young daughter, already without her mother, will no longer have her father to raise her. >> as a father, it saddens me. but as the chief of police, it infuriates me. so. and i can say that these detectives that have been working around the clock on this case, they do so because of that very reason. >> we'll be monitoring this story closely and will bring you updates when we come back. a test drive takes a mysterious turn. >> he had said right before he went out with these men, he was feeling uneasy. >>nd the search for a missing father unmasked a monster.

if you've ever listed something for sale online, you're going to want to pay particularly close attention to our next story. tim bosma posted an ad to sell his truck, and when he agreed to meet potential buyers for a test drive, he had no idea that he was about to ride off with a pair of killers. i went to canada to investigate.

>> i ask and i beg, and i plead to whomever has my husband to please let him go. it was just a truck. >> a dodge ram pickup that 32 year old tim bosma was selling because, well, money was tight. he put it up for sale online and weeks went by without any bites. and then he gets a call. from these guys. >> who seem like serious. prospective buyers. >> then the strangest thing. on a sunday night, two men show up for a test drive. not only are they late, they are on foot. tim and his family live in the canadian countryside. >> he had said right before he went out with these men, he was feeling uneasy because they were late. it was an odd time to be coming to look for a truck. it was later in the evening. >> a little after 9:00, tim kissed his wife, charlene, goodbye and said he'd be right

back. an hour later, he still wasn't home. she started. >> phoning him and. texting him and got no answers. >> but cops have a different feeling. >> when someone is reported missing. you wait 24 hours. but the police knew. i think instinctively this was a different kind of case because it involved online ads, two guys coming to look for a truck and that he was supposed to be back and he wasn't. >> as the investigation begins, the first lea comes from an unexpected source. tim bosma cell phone. it's a call to his wife, charlene. they must have thought he was alive. yeah. sadly, the call is from someone who found tim's phone in a nearby industrial area. meanwhile, when police subpoenaed the phone records, they find those car shoppers called him on a burner phone. and that phone's history reveals calls. setting up two other test drives in the days before tim's disappearance. one to a man selling a dodge ram pickup, an

ex israeli soldier named igor. >> igor tomasino. unlike tim bosma, was built like a truck. he was a big, big, big guy. he's the kind of guy that when you meet him in your head, you're saying, i'm not messing with that guy. >> igor tells police one of the men had a distinctive tattoo on his wrist. the word ambition. >> and it was just by by coincidence, he mentioned this tattoo. and they were able to go through the records of profile and see that tattoo in the police records. and that's what led them to dellen millard. >> dellen millard, a onetime boy wonder at 27, owner of several multimillion dollar properties and heir to an aviation fortune. he made headlines at the age of 14 when he became the first teenager to fly solo in a helicopter and an airplane on the same day. >> it's like holding a plate on your finger, trying to keep that

thing straight. >> millard's father, wayne, shown here with a young dylan, died by suicide in 2012, right after investing more than $3 million in this new airport hangar. dylan's reaction was odd. >> within a. >> matter of. >> days after his father died, he canceled all the licenses, all the permits, all the certification required to work on aircrafts. >> as it turned out, instead of building up his father's business, capitalizing on his fortune, young dylan squandered it. >> so here's dylan millard, who's got all the money in the world thanks to daddy. and instead of, you know, using what he had to make something for himself and continue this aviation dynasty that the millard family had, he's out there partying like a rock star, doing a lot of drugs and hanging around nefarious people and stealing stuff. >> millard always surrounded himself with people who were younger than him 4 or 5 years,

and he was the leader. he paid for everything, so he gained a certain amount of control and status by bankrolling these younger friends. >> one of those groupies was this man, mark smich, a wannabe rapper. >> it's like a freestyle session with no lesson, no question. i'm killing you in possession. >> smich was going to be a rap star, and i guess millard saw himself as maybe the producer, the manager. >> who's who. blue's clues tell the cops anything. then you die. on the news. >> this is a guy who met his dream of old dreams, a rich guy he could do drugs with, steal cars with, hang around and play video games with. but it escalated for mark smich. >> mallard and smich and a group of friends went on what they called missions, and the mission was to steal things. >> these guys were out stealing anything they could get their hands on. they were stealing a

lot of construction equipment, bringing it in, stripping it down, selling it for parts. >> five days after tim bosma went missing, cops tracked mallard to a bank where he spotted withdrawing three grand. minutes later, police arrested him. and right there in his pocket, the keys to tim's truck. police have a lot of questions for mallard. where is the truck? and more importantly, where is tim bosma? coming up. cops follow a trail of clues that lead them to a disturbing find. >> just when you think something stranger couldn't h n, it does. >> that's next. health care. it's so outdated. >> time for a change. >> at oak street health, we're. >> changing what it means to get older by changing healthcare. >> for the better. >> i just. >> made this appointment

one of them in custody. millionaire bad boy dellen millard. i went to canada to learn more. >> due to the unusual nature of this disappearance. the homicide unit will now take the lead. >> millard isn't talking, but surveillance video tells the story for him. the night of tim's disappearance, cameras captured two trucks pulling up to millard's airplane hangar, one belonging to tim, the other to millard. one of the trucks is towing a large piece of equipment. later that night, a bright flame can be seen erupting from outside the hangar. it would burn all night. then, two days after tim went missing, millard is seen towing a large trailer from the hangar. in it, tim's truck, which millard hid at his mother's house. they seemed like they were very dumb about how they covered up their tracks. >> dumb does not begin to explain mark smich and dellen

millard. or maybe it was that millard was so drunk on his own narcissism that he felt he would never be caught. >> but he was caught, and the evidence is mounting. in tim's truck, police find a 30 caliber shell casing in the back seat. dellen millard's fingerprints, bloodstains from tim bosma, and a 38 found in a toolbox owned by millard. then an even more grisly discovery hidden in the woods. police find this contraption. the eliminator, an industrial incinerator that burns up to a scorching 1400 degrees fahrenheit riding atop a trailer. millard had specially built to make it mobile. >> this huge, hulking piece of equipment used to incinerate cows, horses, huge livestock. that's what it's meant for. >> did he have any livestock? >> no. >> police believe this was the

heavy equipment being towed that night to the hangar. and also the source of the flames, seen burning white hot for several hours. when a forensic pathologist combed the inside of the eliminator, she finds bone fragments, a tooth, and a blood stain on the outside, all matching tim bosma. >> this woman got into the incinerator. she had the police buy her a little handheld vacuum cleaner so she could get every last bit of tim's remains and give them to the family. >> police quickly arrest millard's partner in crime, mark smich, and charged both men with first degree murder. what was their defense? >> he did. >> it. >> though it was never determined which man actually pulled the trigger. the jury finds millard and smich guilty, both sentenced to life behind bars.

>> just when you think something stranger couldn't happen, it does. >> laura babcock was a young woman struggling with drug and mental health issues. she had been missing for more than five years. >> laura babcock simply vanished into thin air. >> police say her last known contact was with none other than her ex-boyfriend, dellen millard, who had bought the eliminator shortly before laura vanished. do the police have any idea what happened to her? >> police sources told the hamilton spectator that they believed that laura was incinerated. >> police build a new case, and once again, millard and smich are found guilty for first degree murder in the presumed death of laura babcock. but shockingly, there's more. remember millard's father, wayne, who supposedly died by suicide by shooting himself in the eye? originally classified

as a suicide. now police reclassify it as a murder. and again, dellen millard is found guilty. prosecutors eventually proving he shot his father and made it look like a suicide. >> when it's all said and done and the story is all told, dell and millard, i think, will go down as one of the most prolific serial killers in canadian history. dellen millard could afford 50 trucks. he could have gone out and bought any truck that he wanted. i think the headline really is about tim bosma, not dellen millard. tim bosma was everything right in life. he was what everyone aspired their child to be, and he got wiped out for a truck. >> even behind bars, dellen millard continues to find trouble. during a prison fight, he held a man down while another inmate stabbed him. millard was

convicted on an assault charge related to that incident. he also appealed his conviction for the murder of his father, and both he and mark smich have appealed their convictions for the murder of tim bosma and laura babcock, but a judge rejected those appeals andas held the convictions. we'll be right back. >> at visiting angels. we are honored to serve our veterans who have made sacrifices to keep us safe. caring for those in need is our calling. so if you love helping others, then veterans need you more than you may know. come join our award winning team of caregivers and help those in need across america. to learn more, scan the code or visit us online at visiting angels.com. >> visiting angels. >> america's choice in. >> home care. >> at walden university. >> we get the w. >> we create.
