Ambition: The Crimes of Dellen Millard

Marcus Aurelius once wrote, “A man’s worth is no greater than the
worth of his ambitions.” Most of us want to aim high in our lives,
chase our sparkliest dreams. Today’s story focuses on a man who had
big ambitions—and unlike most of us, he was born into the kind of
wealth that could have opened just about any door in the world for
him. From the time he could talk, his parents made sure he knew he
was their little golden princeling, a chosen one entitled to take
the world by storm—shoot through life like a comet. He could have
become anything he wanted. But what he wanted to be was a killer.
Join us for the story of one of Canada’s most notorious serial
killers, Dellen Millard, and his partner in crime Mark Smich.
