Jackson had made an appearance on Live With Laura-Lynn on Rumble, telling the host that he does not want his daughter to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and “kept her” after his visitation during the Nov. 11. 2021 long weekend.

The girl’s mother, Mariecar Jackson, was granted full custody of her daughter by the court during the search.

RCMP arrested Jackson in February 2022 in Vernon, B.C. after three months.

Mariecar’s daughter was found with him and reunited with her mother.
