On Staten Island, children grew up fearing the boogeyman, Cropsey. The legend of Cropsey is that of an escaped patient of a mental institution that would take children, he allegedly had a hook for a hand and any possibility of coming into contact with him would invoke fear in children growing up in Staten Island. But in the early 1970s through the late 1980's, it seemed to the community that Cropsey had come to life and children were starting to disappear never to be seen again. It is only after a victim's remains are found that this real life Cropsey is given a face, and a name... Andre Rand. Multiple missing persons cases have been attributed to Andre Rand including the disappearance of Alice Pereira, Holly Ann Hughes, Tiahease Jackson, Hank Gafforio and ultimately the murder of Jennifer Schweiger, whose body is the only one that has been found and finally ends the Cropsey nightmare.
