Andre Rand is an American convicted kidnapper of two children and suspected serial killer from Staten Island, New York, currently serving 50 years to life in prison.
In 1988, Andre Rand was charged with the kidnapping and first-degree murder of Jennifer Schweiger. The Staten Island jury could not reach a verdict on the murder charge, but convicted Rand of the first-degree kidnapping charge. He was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. He would have been eligible for parole in 2008 if not convicted of a second kidnapping.
In 2004, Rand was again brought to trial, this time charged with the kidnapping of Holly Ann Hughes 23 years earlier. There is no statute of limitations in New York for first-degree kidnapping, which made this charge possible. A jury convicted Rand of the kidnapping in October 2004, and he was sentenced to another consecutive 25 years to life in prison. He will become eligible for parole in 2037, when he is 93 years old.
Rand was the subject of a 2009 documentary titled 'CROPSEY'
Cropsey is a 2009 American documentary film written and directed by Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio. The film initially begins as an examination of "Cropsey", a boogeyman-like figure from New York urban legend, before segueing into the story of Andre Rand, a convicted child kidnapper from Staten Island.
This package consists of PHOTOCOPIED newsletters and information that Rand mails out to supporters. The newsletters and info all revolve around his claims of innocence as well as various religious doomsday scripture and bible quotes. These are all photocopied and are NOT originals. The only original in this package is the envelope which is hand written.
While we usually never offer photocopied items we feel that this item should in fact be listed as we have never seen anything from Rand on the market except the few Rand items that we have sold over the years.
