Friend of man accused of killing 13-year-old girl says he was ‘always on the run’
WINNIPEG — A former friend of a Winnipeg man accused of killing a 13-year-old girl told court the accused sometimes disappeared for days at a time.
Mark Grant is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Candace Derksen.
She went missing in 1984 and her body was found tied up in a shed weeks later in January 1985.
William Crockford says Grant was among his friends back in 1984, and they would hang out at his house, which was not far from where Derksen was last seen.
