Warren Dalziel runs an automotive business in Oxbow, Sask., and says he has known Jackson for a number of years.
Dalziel told the courtroom that roughly two weeks before Jackson left town, he had the brakes worked on in his vehicle.
Throughout Jackson’s disappearance, Dalziel said he helped maintain Jackson’s property and paid taxes on it while he was away.
“I watched the place after he left,” he said. “I paid all the taxes… about $700 a month.”
Throughout the months Jackson was gone, the two men talked roughly 10 times, with each call or text coming from Jackson under an anonymous number according to Dalziel.
“I had no way of contacting Michael while he was gone,” Dalziel explained.
