Andre Rand was an American serial killer, sex offender and child abductor. The period of his crimes was between 1969 and 1987.

Of the crimes attributed to him very few of them have been ascertained to have been committed by him.

He was born in 1944 in New York. His father died when he was 14 years old. Then his mother was forced to remain in a psychiatric clinic.

A year later he was arrested for attempting to kidnap a 9-year-old girl and attempting to rape her. For this he served 16 months in prison.

In 1972 he was suspected of kidnapping a 5-year-old girl.

In 1977 he may have kidnapped an 18-year-old girl.

In 1979 he was accused of raping a young woman and a 15-year-old boy.

A year later the police suspected him of kidnapping a 42-year-old woman. In the same year, the traces of a 44-year-old woman who he may have kidnapped were lost.

In 1981 he was accused of kidnapping a 7-year-old girl.

2 years later the same thing happened to an 11 girl. This year he still managed to kidnap 11 children while driving a school bus. Luckily nothing bad happened to any of them.

In 1984, a 22-year-old girl disappeared.

And perhaps his last crime was in 1987 when a 12-year-old girl went missing.

In 1988 he was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Perhaps he was a member of a satanic cult and sacrificed his victims. During his stay in the penitentiary he stated that he was a pedophile.

There is the documentary Cropsey about his life.
