IN ATTEMPT TO DITCH WHITE PICKUP TRUCK
On the 8th of March 2005, the RCMP obtained a warrant
from Justice of the Peace Andrew Holko to search the cellular telephone
records of James Roszko.
These records reveal the incoming and outgoing
cellular phone calls placed to and from Roszko's phone on March 2 to March
3, 2005. This covered the period of time after the bailiffs attended with
police to sieze his vehicle to the time Roszko was confirmed to
be dead.
ROSZKO CALLED HIS MOTHER ON MARCH 2
On
the night of March 2nd she and her husband were away
for most of the day and did not return home until approximately 7:30
PM. After she got home she received a call from James Roszko explaining
that police were trying to repossess his truck and he needed a place
to park it. He asked that she try to see if her sister would
let him park it at her place. During the conversation he mentioned that
he 'had made a will and they should pray or him'.
There were other calls
back and forth with James Roszko wherein he was eventually told that he
could not park the vehicle at his aunt's.
She believed that James Roszko and a friend were involved in
the drug trade and that Roszko grew the marijuana while the friend sold
it.
Once James Roszko asked her if she wanted a job. The job would entail
cleaning marijuana heads. She refused.
