Only one of Rands multiple suspected victims has ever been found. She was Jennifer Schweiger a 12 year old with downs syndrome that he buried at his campsite in the woods near the mental hospital he was janitor at. He got 25 years to life for her kidnapping and murder. Here is a list of other possible victims who's bodies have yet to be found: Alice Pereia, Holly Ann Hughes, Tiahease Tiawanna Jackson & Henry Gafforio. Audrey Lyn Nergenberg, an eighteen-year-old who disappeared in 1977 is also believed to be linked to Rand. Let's help Staten Island police solve these cases and brings these kids home for their families to bury. He spree of terror lasted from at least 1977 to 1987 when he killed Jennifer. At right is a picture of Jennifer, an innocent young life needlessly lost. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5625256/the_legend_of_cropsey.html?cat=37
My father was the one who found her body in the river with my dog Shadow. My sister and I went to school with her. I was 8 or 9 and my sister was about her age as they were in the same grade. My father never got over seeing this little girl who he thought was a doll. I remember this vividly even now. I still pray her family finds piece.

DeleteTY for you comment. I am so sorry you dad has had to deal with such a terrible thing.
DeleteWow, I was coming in to say my next door neighbor found this little girl’s body. I also remember A’s father telling my mum about it & it was clear how shaken he was. I didn’t go to the same school, but this happened right before my birthday. It was such a sad case. I periodically look in hopes of seeing that an arrest was made. I continue to hope her parents will one day have answers. It won’t bring Rosie back, but at least I hope they’re able to see her killer brought to justice.
