• Tim Bosma trial: blood spatter expert to testify Thursday
• Blood, DNA evidence links Bosma, Millard
• Arrest of accused Mark Smich detailed for jury

Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, of Oakville, are accused of killing Bosma, 32, who lived in the suburban Ancaster area of Hamilton. Both accused have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Ontario Superior Court.

Bosma disappeared in May 2013 after leaving his home to take two men on a test drive of a pickup truck he was trying to sell. More than a week later, police announced he was dead.

Prosecutors believe that Bosma was shot and killed inside the Dodge truck he had been trying to sell online, after which his body was burned in a livestock incinerator.

Gun photos found on multiple computers

Among the photos shown to thejury wasoneof a man holding a gun, an image found on aniPadbackup on Millard's computer.Although the photo was found on a computer seized from Millard's home, it was in abackup file that corresponded with an iPad previously seized from Smich's home, court heard.

The device's name was "Mark's iPad," Falconer's presentation showed. Many photos on the iPad appear to show Smich and his girlfriend, Marlena Meneses.

In the photo with the gun, the weapon partially obscures the face of the man holding it. Falconer testified that a mole on the finger of the man holding the gun was similar to a mole on the finger of a man holding a drink in a photo found on the iPad registered to Smich.

More photos of a gun were recovered from other computers inside Millard's home. One of them was recovered from an iPhone backup in an iMessage conversation that Falconer said appeared to be between Millard and his girlfriend, Christina Noudga.

Noudgais expected to testify at the trial at a later dateand has been charged as an accessory after the fact.

The metadata from another photo of a gunshowedit was taken onFeb. 14, 2012, near the Millard residence, the report said.

In cross-examination,Smich'slawyer ThomasDungeyquestioned whether or not Falconer had the expertise to identify whether or not the gun seen in the photos is real, as he isn't a ballistics expert.

"You can't say it's a gun, can you?"Dungeyasked."It would be difficult for me to say with 100 per cent certainty it's a gun," Falconer responded.

Bosma'struck ad viewed on computers seized from Millard home

Falconer also showed the jury data recovered from multiplecomputers found in Millard's Etobicoke home. The data showsthat a user lookedat the Autotrader ad for Tim Bosma's truck just days before he vanished.

The URL for Bosma'sAutotrader adwas accessed on May 3 and May 4 from the "Dellen" Windows user account on two differentcomputers inside the home, Falconer'sreport showed.

The internetbrowsing history from May 4 also showedsearches on Autotraderfor Dodge Ram trucks in Ancaster, North York, Kitchener and Etobicoke, Falconer testified.

The jury also heard more about The Eliminator the animal incinerator containing human remainsthat was found on Millard's Waterloo, Ont.-area farm.

A folder on one of thecomputerscontained a video of the incinerator. The video was shot with an iPhone 4 on Sept. 5, 2012. "It depictedwhat appeared to be the interior of the air hangar it panned towards a picture of what appeared to be The Eliminator device," Falconer said.

GPS co-ordinates in the metadata show the videowas shot at the MillardAir hangar, he said.

Court also heard about a Word documentlocated on a hard drive found at Millard's home titled "My old profile."

Data on the file shows it was a profile for the dating website Passion.com, court heard. In it, the profile says, "Hi there, my name is Evan."

Witnesses who were trying to sell trucks similar to Bosma's have testified to hearing from an Evan, both on the phone and in person.
