A man charged with child luring and abduction should find out today if he will be released on bail.

Seventy-Two-year-old Will Crockwell, who lives in New Brunswick, is accused of coaching the girl to meet up and return to that province with him.

It’s believed Crockwell took the ferry to Newfoundland for that purpose. He was arrested in Badger last week before the rendezvous with the girl could occur.

Meanwhile, two others—63-year-old Erin Bast and 69-year-old Fred Boone of Milltown—were found with the girl at a cabin along the Bay d’Espoir Highway hours after police issued an Amber Alert.

They were released Thursday on bail and strict conditions, and are due back in court July 21.

Crockwell’s bail hearing began Friday and will continue this morning when his lawyer, Bob Buckingham, will make the case for release while the matter makes its way through the courts.
