Michael Gordon Jackson will appear in Regina Provincial Court today.

The search for a missing Saskatchewan father and daughter came to a peaceful end last Thursday when seven year-old Sarah Jackson and her 52 year-old father were found, parked in a vehicle located in a Vernon, B.C. parking lot by RCMP.

Sarah Jackson was safe and reunited with her mother that same day. Last week after they were found, RCMP said in a statement that Mariecar has been waiting for that day and a phone call from our investigators since last year. She thanked everyone who played a role in helping locate her daughter.

It’s alleged Jackson didn’t want his daughter vaccinated against COVID-19 while Sarah’s mother, Mariecar Jackson did. Sarah and her father had been missing since November.

Mariecar and the RCMP released a video two weeks calling for her daughter’s safe return. The initial video released last week of Mariecar calling for her daughter’s safe return reached over 440 thousand people and was shared over 13 thousand times.

Police say the second video released last Thursday was shared 177 times and reached over 4,500 people in the first hour it was posted. At this time, no additional people have been arrested or charged in connection to the incident.
