Growing up in Staten Island

Barbara and I heard some times about the legend of Cropsey.

To the neighborhood children, Cropsey was a fugitive mentally ill.

Who lived in the old tunnels and abandoned Willowbrook Mental Hospital.

He quit late at night and took the kids on the streets.

[Missing 7 year old is gone]

Although not known each other as children in,

Barbara and I shared versions of the legend of Cropsey, increasing our fear.

Sometimes Cropsey had a hook for a hand,

In others, a bloody ax.

But no matter, Cropsey was out there, lurking in the darkness.

Waiting to pick us up.

We'll have you back.

Later, in adolescence, we come to believe that Cropsey was just an urban legend.

A legend created to keep us away from those buildings, or to prevent us from doing things that teenagers do.

But everything changed when small Jennifer disappeared.

That was the summer where all the children of Staten Island found that this urban legend

It was real ...

Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of New York.

In the last century, it was basically formed by farms and woods.

Until built the Verrazano Bridge in 1964.

It is now home to nearly half a million people.

Before Varrazano bridge be built, it was just this, this island forgotten.

All children in Brooklyn wanted his own home, and everyone wanted to land.

If you have a dog, you let it run in the yard, like, "Dad knows best".

It can be pretty quiet around here, even with Manhattan over there,

after water, but is defitinivamente a different kind of life here.

If you take a few laps, people will say:

" Oh, yes, here it was one of the larger dumps "

and rumors that it was possible see you there space, so ...

A huge dump.

It was the least populated district and full of woods.

For all I know, like, here it is a great dumping ground for gentalhas that people used to dismiss

type: " We'll bring them to Staten Island ".

It seems that there are many places to go and be isolated, alone and do what you want.

So if you have a bad idea in mind, you can come here and commit it.

Near the middle of the island there is an old forest, known as " Greenbelt " (green belt).

At the edge of the forest, there is a camp Scouts for boys and an old ward for tuberculosis.

As children, we used run around these sites,

trying to scare each other with stories about Cropsey.

On the left there is the camp?

No, it's the camp J. C. C.

And right here, we have the sea view. The wings of the Sea View.

The directors of the camps guided in this way,

and out of these buildings and frightened.

You know, this is where we thought we lived Cropsey, in the basement down here and these other buildings.

And, well, we used to walk around and find beds and roles of people who died here, so ...

It kind of makes sense to us.

"Cropsey" for some reason, It has become a generic term

for a maniac in camps for scouts.

Outside the region Hudson River in upstate New York.

So, it makes sense to a story about a maniac

who hid in the forest,

abducted and killed little children have the name of Cropsey.

The first time I heard about Cropsey was at summer camp.

He was a doctor.

He wore a hook.

With a huge knife this size.

And he was an angry man who wielded an ax.

The wife was murdered.

He was persecuted or mocked ...

He wanted children, and find, so ...

It stung you all ...

... Boned you.

Do not go to the sides of Sherwood, Cropsey is there.

Make sure that goes down at a store, do not continue going forward.

Do not go to the lake at night, Cropsey's downstairs.

No, do not go near the park Willowbrook. There is very dangerous.

There are many cities with an underground history something which inexplicavalmente things happened.

An institution where people They were separated from the rest of society.

Here are photos of the hospital SeaView From a higher angle Seaview hospital.

Dorothy D'elleto Archivist and Researcher Here are photos of the hospital SeaView From a higher angle Seaview hospital.

Here are photos of the hospital SeaView From a higher angle Seaview hospital.

This includes the infirmary wards for tuberculosis.

And also this property, there was a hospital for contagious diseases and so has the morgue and the cemetery.

This is across the street from the agricultural colony, it was a different part of the hospital.

They called her "poor farm".

In this we are Halloran Hospital in Willowbrook.

It is here that became the state school?

Exactly.

Willowbrook was specific for the mentally ill?

Yes.

In 1972, the state school Willowbrook hosted

a major exhibition by a young reporter looking for his big hole.

Directly speak of this renowned place

after receiving the connection a team member of Willowbrook

Dr. Michael Wilkens.

The doctor asked me to see the conditions on which he spoke,

so sudden and discreetly, We visited the building number 6.

The doctor realized myself that the thing could be ugly.

It was horrible ...

There was only one employee to about fifty children

with profound and severe mental retardation.

Dropped on the floor naked and wrapped in their own feces,

they made a noise pitiful ...

More like a poorly howl that it is impossible to forget.

This is how it looks, so that you can hear,

but how can I describe to you the smell that ravaged the place?

Smelled of dirt, disease, smelled of death.

Despite the terms of Geraldo

It took over ten years to

the authorities started close the Willwobrook

Many patients were groups transferred to homes

but others were left at the mercy.

There are those who believe that some patients

with mixed behavior,

headed about 1.5 kms Willowbrook, wandering in their abandoned buildings.

And they lived in the tunnel system which was in the underground of these buildings.

From this, our own Cropsey version of the legend was born.

When did you start to realize that "Hey, maybe Cropsey is real"?

When children began to fade in Staten Island.

You are watching Channel 7, Eyewitness News.

Hey guys, listen up. We need a all help to find Jennifer.

The relentless search for a girl of 12 years, Down syndrome,

continues, as has been going the last three weeks.

hoping that today will be the day find Jennifer Schweiger.

She is very friendly, very happy. She is a doll.

Kind, you know ... like every child who has Down's syndrome.

Rather than lie at home, I thought I could come and help.

It could be any of our children who had been kidnapped or abused.

Maybe Jennifer has brought to fore the vulnerability as well by

submit Down Syndrome, or was possibly compassion

the residents to have a their missing children.

But every day, more and more volunteers arrive,

looking in the woods and the streets, hoping

to put an end to suffering Schwieiger the family.

Many people helped in this quest.

Everyone felt it could have been one of his, who disappeared.

They arrived at the Department of Fire with candles,

ready to enter in Willowbrook,

willing to enter forest and tunnels.

There was a particular family, Donna Cutugno,

and some your friends and neighbors

who volunteered to organize searches.

Today we will focus on Willowbrook Park.

The police went there yesterday and We continue from where they stopped.

This is what Willowbrook It looks like when we were not here.

I will never forget the first time I got in one of those buildings.

It was really scary, it was the first time

Donna Cutugno Founder of "Friends of Jennifer" It was really scary, it was the first time

I was in those buildings where I heard these terrible stories. Donna Cutugno Founder of "Friends of Jennifer"

I was in those buildings where I heard these terrible stories.

And when you walk, completely empty, you still hear you ... ... feel.

You almost feel the presence of children there,

or the presence of adults and ...

It is not something that you never will get used to.

When they are looking for,

have sure to check out below ground

and on top of the trees.

Anything they find, the police can remove a lot of information.

While searching,

we see the number of people who lived here,

when Willowbrook worked and grew and They tended to come back here.

So there were a lot of people They are living in underground

even with closed buildings and Andre Rand was one.

Andre Rand worked as in charge Willowbrook State School, 1966-1968.

For years he lived in camps improvised in the woods around Willowbrook.

It was also the prime suspect in case of Jennifer Schweiger.

Suspect considered "Weird" It was also the prime suspect in case of Jennifer Schweiger.

Suspect considered "Weird"

There were two witnesses who claimed to have seen her walking down the street with a middle-aged man.

Retired detectives There were two witnesses who claimed to have seen her walking down the street with a middle-aged man.

There were two witnesses who claimed to have seen her walking down the street with a middle-aged man.

And he had a female, green bicycle, with a basket on the front.

Last week I was in a store and saw Rand. I recognized another case.

He bought baby food and was on a bicycle female, green with a basket on the front.

At that point I said, "It's him, I saw him last week."

Rand was immediately arrested and questioned about the disappearance of the girl,

but was released for lack of evidence.

Young still missing

After four weeks of surveillance, hoping to find Jennifer alive, Young still missing

After four weeks of surveillance, hoping to find Jennifer alive,

he was arrested.

Rand was familiar to the poor by police sexual behavior with a 9-year-old girl in 1969.

Crime he denied.

Good afternoon, let what happened. A homeless 43, Andre Ran was arrested.

Accused of abducting a girl 12, Jennifer Schweiger.

The suspect was spotted yesterday night here, in a church.

The police questioned him on the second day investigations and

After four weeks the case against man

finally they decided they had enough to reaching the verdict.

I've never seen a criminal walk that way.

To see him walking as if he had lost his mind, let all the outraged community.

That image has forced many people to say "that man is the murderer, he is not normal, looks at him, drooling ... "

And it certainly makes me question a lot, who was Andre Rand?

They got a crazy man and They said he was the guy

Or really possessed solid evidence against him that would be valid in the jury?

I used to teach about the history of Andre Rand for my journalism class.

Former editor I used to teach about the history of Andre Rand for my journalism class.

Former editor

Down the stairs to the forum ad "Homelessness is arrested."

Well, what did that mean? Means guilty, right?

If he really was or not, I do not, you know,

I do not know the whole story, but it was much easier to imagine everything

what to think, "Perai, and is a neighbor of yours?

It may be someone with whom you work "...

Did you ever think that there was someone else involved?

Well, we always had to think there was someone else to rule out the idea.

You always have to keep what in your mind.

And yet ... following the story of the witness, be considered a valid witness,

were only Andre and Jennifer. There was no one.

Of course, when we took the first 26 hours, where was she?

He left with someone else?

With the Rand in prison, the search By Jennifer was desperate.

Rumors spread that someone, perhaps one of the friends of Rand,

Jennifer hid and moved with her late at night by Willowbrook tunnels.

I want my daughter. I want that man talk.

I want him to say where Jennifer is.

Despite constant warnings to stay out of Willowbrook,

Donna and Jennifer's friends They continued going there.

Commitment: search until she is found Donna and Jennifer's friends They continued going there.

Commitment: search until she is found

This area has been checked several times by volunteers, policemen and even dogs. Commitment: search until she is found

This area has been checked several times by volunteers, policemen and even dogs.

But at that time, a young man passed an area where reported seeing balls of clay,

as if someone buried and were drawn back to the trees.

It was a very small point, where he noticed the balls.

And this made us come back, or have we insisted that we return.

Then George showed us place he thought ... have to take a look.

The smell, so we started to dig ...

Hence saw their feet.

And everyone stopped.

Father Henry gave the last words.

They took in the forest.

Ernie, a difficult discovery made last night in the town of Staten Island.

An arm and a leg leaving a shallow grave.

Police and people were on the scene

where the body of 12 years Jennifer Lynn Schweiger was found.

Police warned for everyone to distance themselves from the site, even the father of Jennifer.

He was taken.

Yes, the father of Jennifer's here. He is allowed to pass?

Unless they walk on water, they will be on the outside.

Two other girls were given as missing in recent years in Staten Island.

They will be sought in areas nearby the next day to see what they find.

As a police officer told us tonight. God knows what they can find here.

The discovery of the body Jennifer was about

140 meters of the camp improvised Rand,

confirming the nightmare of all.

People were angry and wanted justice.

The district attorney, however,

did not have physical evidence Rand linking the disappearance of Jennifer.

The case had virtually only with eyewitnesses,

something the more experienced They knew it was not very reliable.

After the largest trial criminal in the history of Staten Island,

Rand was convicted of kidnapping.

But the murder sentence was overturned, after the jury could not reach a verdict.

Rand was judged to 25 years

and could be elected for parole in 2008.

The residents of Staten Island They like to find scapegoats.

But not true.

And we do not want to think too much about what that might mean for our society.

"Island of Plunder: As the smallest NY village has become a lost paradise "

When you look for a place like Staten Island "Island of Plunder: As the smallest NY village has become a lost paradise "

When you look for a place like Staten Island

It was regarded as a deposit garbage of all sorts of things.

The landfill took over, I received all the garbage of the city,

Garbage eight million players played in Staten Island.

The Agricultural Colony was a place that housed people who had tuberculosis.

Willowbrook stored thousands of people and left them there.

It really was like a dump.

Why play in Staten Island?

Because that's where it discard things.

You discards children, which difference? You discard waste, discards children.

For Staten Island not It makes any difference, right?

See.

Trays of the institution.

They are everywhere.

It's like a current that can not be tamed by the construction or urbanization.

You put a lot of people with mental illness together

a lot of people with physical illness

and you bury people here and there

and you discard trash and poisons the site

and then sit down and scratch your head and wonder,

"God, why're everything going wrong? "

Or "Why has an atmosphere so sinister about Staten Island, such a beautiful place"

It is because is due to rumors and about these things that have become evident.

As children, we were deluded by the beliefs of our fathers

that was Staten Island a safe place to grow up.

But actually all community has a seedy side.

Every suburb has its secrets.

We only found out our for what happened to Jennifer.

Then with all the other children.

After Donna Cutugno and his group found the body of Jennifer Schweiger,

the police began to connect the dots.

They began to look for other missing children on Staten Island.

They focused on four cases different, covering about 15 years.

Tiahease Jackson, a girl 10 years with learning difficulties,

who disappeared Four years before Jennifer.

Hank Gafforio, 21 but with IQ of a boy of 15 years,

He disappeared three years before Jennifer.

Holly Ann Hughes, 7, who disappeared six years before Jennifer.

Finally, Alice Pereira, seen by Last time in 1972, 15 years before Jennifer.

Until this day, the Body none have been found.

They are cases of missing persons occurred in Staten Island and have not been solved.

As children we never imagined that we would know the true story behind Cropsey.

While Rand was sent to prison, the stories were slipping away.

But now, twenty years later,

perhaps we will have the chance to uncover the truth behind our urban legend.

Because Andre Rand is back.

Andre Rand scared one generation of parents and children on Staten Island.

Condemned by the disappearance of a girl in the 80s, is back on trial for kidnapping.

After spending 17 years in prison, Andre Rand returned to Staten Island

to face trial a girl of seven years,

Holly Ann Hughes, that He disappeared two decades earlier.

His body was never found.

Can you tell us how He met Holly Ann Hughes?

Any comments, please?

I love my sister very much. It's been twenty, something I had to carry

For a while incredibly long and I miss her too.

You know, it's nice to know that finally it is being treated as a person

and not as a lost wallet.

This is very important, something that has kind twenty years.

The story of another missing child, Holly Ann Hughes, seven years old, disappeared on Wednesday.

So far, no one has any idea of what may have happened to her.

She is outgoing, friendly, very lovely, I think.

We just want to bring Holly back home, please.

Today.

And we are looking for for her ... and we will have it back.

These are Eddie, Holly Ann and Shwan.

She was a very sweet, typical girl seven year old, kind, beautiful and fun.

It's probably one of the last things you think can happen,

Holly Ann's father It's probably one of the last things you think can happen,

someone to take his daughter.

His mother and I were talking about this, as we were going through the separation period.

I remember looking all night.

I mean, throughout beside the train tracks,

Park Avenue, anywhere I imagined she might be.

I was getting very strange links anonymous people who knew where Holly Ann had been.

Crazy things You know, unbelievable things.

But nobody mentioned Andre Rand?

Do Not.

Rand was interviewed and released back in 1981

after being caught in the street Holly Ann the day of his disappearance.

Now, twenty years later,

finally believed to have enough evidence to reach a conclusion.

However, there was another question that concerned residents.

Rand would be parole in less than four years.

What do you mean probably it would walk the streets again.

We are here today supporting family of Holly Ann Hughes.

The question we share with the family is Andre Rand, accused ...

Mother of Jennifer The question we share with the family is Andre Rand, accused ...

The question we share with the family is Andre Rand, accused ...

... Bad man.

It leaves enraged the fact that he been released since the disappearance of Holly Ann?

I believe that, in fact, Jennifer was that brought it all back to life.

Jennifer's dad I believe that, in fact, Jennifer was that brought it all back to life.

Jennifer's dad

There's a reason it has been found first,

and have opened the case Holly Ann Hughes.

Such cases never go away.

It is as if the whole community It had been thrown into chaos with it.

Here's the guy supposedly walking around picking up these children.

I mean, you have all these rumors that run throughout the island on this guy.

And the media, you know, the cast in a terrible monster and maybe he can be the same.

There are no physical evidence or scientific I know this case.

There bodies.

They did not find it.

It's all circumstantial.

They were, and dug all they could. They went to his old neighborhood.

[Defense] They were, and dug all they could. They went to his old neighborhood.

They were, and dug all they could. They went to his old neighborhood.

They searched his car, there was nothing to find,

then I am sure he did not do any of this.

Defense lawyer then I am sure he did not do any of this.

So why do you think the prosecutor insists in this case?

Mr. Murphy recently retired.

Defense lawyer Mr. Murphy recently retired.

This was certainly one of his last and further investigations. Defense lawyer

This was certainly one of his last and further investigations.

Err, the Rand case, and maybe he wanted end to this before leaving the office.

[The prosecution]

I remember the inedaquações witness accounts of 1981 and 1982.

Lawyer District I remember the inedaquações witness accounts of 1981 and 1982.

Lawyer District

Some of them were involved in alcoholism,

They had no clear awareness of what It happened from that day.

But improved to recover their memories.

The story of Andre Rand being told is simply an example of what can be done

if people remain vigilant,

remain concerned what happens around you.

Fifteen years after finding the body of Jennifer Schweiger,

Donna Cutugno continues digging the soil

old school State of Willowbrook,

hoping to find evidence from other children.

Who do you think we looking for?

We are looking for Holly and Alice and the other children.

Do you think all They were buried here?

Well, I do not know about Alice. Me Me I do not really feel she's here.

I do not know where she might be but I think the rest of them,

including Hank They should be here.

I can imagine how the other parents,

even if your child has gone an hour ago

I can imagine how they should feel.

Without knowing anything.

Back to that primary sense, that could be my son.

They are the most precious things in my life and no one will take my children from me.

- Hello! - Hi!

This is the fourth of Devin. He loves Star Wars and loves George Lucas.

One of my reasons children are involved in these things

It is because I have too afraid to leave them.

This whole thing about Rand, assuming he comes out of this ...

He would come after me?

You know, that day ever It was on my mind.

For years, Rand was undergoing several state prisons in New York,

where he shared cell with people like David Berkowitz

Known as "Son of Sam" and the child killer, Joel Steinberg,

Weeks before he was transferred to Riker Island for the trial,

We sent letters to him, trying to arrange an interview,

but there was no answer.

So on the day that Barbara and I decided visit him without informing you, we received this letter.

What do you think you're talking about?

He really does not talk to anyone but his lawyer

and for years no He spoke to the press.

No one really You know nothing about it.

He put our number phone at the top and wrote:

"The person who will meet the phone must be Joshua. "

"If you wish to receive Mr. Rand matches in the coming months "

this must be done by sending the Rand a legal address post ".

"This is not like with matching,

but with a more form of documentation. "

"Note: Rand was informed by his lawyer to accept only legal visits. "

"Rand did not personally speak with you because of a subpoena. "

What he means is "I will communicate with you as long as you follow our rules. "

[Holly Trial Ann Hughes - Day 1]

Differently other states,

NY does not allow cameras in the courts.

So we were forced to interview several witnesses in the streets

to try some second-hand information.

Seventeen, and never We stop talking about it.

It's something that affected everyone I know there Staten Island.

Everyone knew about Andre Rand.

But not all, they only in their minds, they did not believe they could get it.

There is no reason it exists elsewhere than the chain.

There is one huge fear, you know, the bogeyman come and pick up their children.

This building was where Holly Ann Hughes used to live.

The Andre Rand's aunt lived in second floor of this building also.

Holly was there were playing one afternoon and Andre Rand was here on a visit.

And then he got into his Volkswagen Holly and apparently went down the street to ...

That bakery over there.

Holly was seen for the last time in this bakery

down the street where she lives.

A clerk said she came at about 9:30 Wednesday night

27 cents and bought a bar of soap.

She was very quiet, you know.

She did not say anything to anyone.

She just took it and left.

Really do not know What happened after that.

I worked there.

The girl entered.

- Holly Ann? - Yes.

She came in, and when was it? It was in 1981?

Yes, in 1981.

She came to buy a bar soap and it cost 31 cents.

Why I remember? Why she was missing 4 cents,

and the old man behind the counter do not let anyone give her.

That's why I remember.

When I saw your photo I I said "Oh yeah, I've seen this guy before."

He is very quiet, introverted, It did not seem normal.

I think he had a strange way of speaking, but not sure.

And no one He disappeared in that neighborhood?

Yes, Hank Gafforio.

He looked like Mick Jagger.

He disappeared in that neighborhood.

- At what time? - At the same time.

Hank was a little slow.

His brother swears Andre Rand killed him.

They came to me all these years.

This was 18 years ago.

And then they said "We need help"?

Supposedly he was around three, four o'clock in the morning with Rand.

A lot of people came, many people even.

And again, it was more old. And it had a lot to do with it.

He was 21.

We watched this reporter standing in front of the Holly Ann home

and over his shoulder Hank was Gafforio.

It was funny to see him come from behind like that.

There. It's him!

- Right here? - Yes.

It's quite a coincidence, do not you think?

And it was as I said, before he died, like this guy talk to me.

Just once.

And all he has to do is just give a note to someone and say,

"This is where they are buried." Just this.

He sent us, I think ... I think it's the view from your window.

- This is the decision and the judge's order ... - About the case of Jennifer Schweiger?

No no no. This is on the case of Holly Ann.

So he's basically responding to each of the witnesses in the last ...

- Testimonies, this. - Preliminary Hearings.

It says "Detective Lotito asked the defense if they saw something unusual about Holly Ann at that time "

And the defendant said "She was very, very dirty. Her legs were dirty, his hands were dirty. "

He gave her money and sent it to the market to buy a bar of soap.

The court continually points to speak with Detective up charges.

The defendant never met or saw Hughes some time and neither the defendant confirmed such things.

The only witness Today is Elsie Castro.

She lived on the street where Holly Ann lived.

She said on her side of the street, but a house up, there was a green Volkswagen.

She saw no one inside the car.

She went to the house to take a bath and found that there was no soap.

Larry interviewed Elsie Castro. She saw nothing.

But she says she bought a bar soap in the store and lacked 5 cents.

It's quite a coincidence that she lacked money when Holly Ann also lacked money

All during the interval time of about one hour.

So you think the other witnesses were mistaken?

I do not know.

And if what they said I did not even know the jury know, it is subject to doubt.

This is the car Elsie.

- Elsie Castro? - This.

Here, children always They passed here.

- In this corner? And where was the exact point they They believe she was kidnapped?

Well, that's something else. I'm not sure, I see.

A Volkswagen.

He turned to see what was happening. All crimes that we saw, which we turn to him, happened in July except for Tiahease.

This was Tiahease. Aunt.

She lived with her mother and I believe had four brothers.

And they were all in one room in the Conca D'Oro.

Community was a hotel at that time.

It was a day of August and the older brother left Tiahease talking to a man.

The man was described as someone who looked like Andre.

She was never seen again.

The evidence is the bodies.

I'm sure, buried somewhere, he has the evidence.

Just do not find in the woods yet.

Come on, sniff. What do you think kid?

Donna is looking for a temporary camps Rand Louis Rivera.

A retired police officer who helped in the search for Jennifer on the day she disappeared.

Find the body.

Find the body, sniff.

A body that met my dog ​​was buried 22 years ago.

Then chances are, it's just a matter of searching,

focus on small areas at a time.

Let's boy, sniff.

Find the body, boy.

Where do you think most children are?

It's hard to say.

They are buried ... Somewhere in Staten Island.

Detective Frank Saez was one of leading professional

in case the type of missing children in New York.

Well, he could come and say "Listen"

someday, "I will give the bodies"

And take you to the place and you could impinge upon where they are.

If you look around, you can see the perimeter of this area and here was one of their camps.

Here you do not have a toilet or anything mounted like the Willowbrook.

But children said I could see him sitting here.

So it was here that he lived Durantes the warmer months.

Come on, sniff boy.

They say the death of a child is the worst kind of crime that anyone can imagine.

Certainly.

But the disappearance a child is even worse.

Because if your child dies and you bury, at least you have a place where you can go.

When your child disappears, and you do not know where he is,

for parents, the child is never dead until a police bring them what's left of it.

Someone used this area here.

See? When you find things like objects or clothing

As this child shoe, shampoo, Tape ...

Louis. Come back here.

So we have shoes, tape and notice the how cute the soil is ...

're Cute even. This, smell.

Cave, boy.

Are areas like this that we can dig, just to see, since they seem mum little suspicious.

You never know.

Hughes trial Week 2

This officer keeps saying all morning, on the bus, which is said Rand innocent,

And they did not do any of that.

And the official says "Consider a martyr for the safety of children, this is what you are. "

The brother of Holly Ann, Ed Armstrong, testified today.

He was 14 when he saw his sister for the last time on the day she disappeared.

Since then, he became lieutenant the NY Police Department.

He was also instrumental in bringing this case to trial.

If he still has humanity in their souls,

maybe he realizes that there is an error on your way

And I could forgive him if he in give back what was left of my sister.

And this is all I ever wanted.

I do not care if he had one more day in his ruling ...

All I want It is what's left of my sister.

And if he has any thing of it, he will do it for us.

This is Holly Ann ...

Were you involved in all these searches?

Ah yes!

For how long you believe that sought?

3 years.

"The unlucky seven will surface"?

Rushan was his name. U-S-R-H-A-N.

He moved to Rand so Jennifer disappeared.

Do you believe that there some credit the idea that

Jennifer may be buried in the camping area?

They found his head down.

I think, and the blood was on his feet, as if she had been repositioned.

So who do you think ...

This is why I thought maybe they would have others involved.

Rumors about children missing were overwhelming.

Some believe Rand did not act alone

He had help other homeless.

Or any Willowbrook patient.

Others think he was framed, and the real killer was still out there.

The only person who I knew the truth was the Rand itself.

For weeks, we exchanged letters on hope we get an interview.

But Rand refused to give us any information.

He felt that all the unwanted attention would expose the nature of their crimes suspects

to his teammates and put his life in danger.

A video interview while incarcerated It would be like instigating violence

and acts of jealousy over the my life caused by the press.

Since Rand I would not talk with us,

We had to follow any track,

finding anyone who could learn more about his past.

Hello, I'm looking for Freer by Richard. He lives here?

He does not live? I thought we lived, he does not live here then?

He lived?

Who are these?

All the people who knew Rand.

- How did they know? - Through Donna notes.

They said, you know, "Rand friend, Known Rand"

Does not recognize none of these names?

- And Willy died. - Ah yes.

Some Thomas live here?

I was about six, seven years. And we were all out there playing on the court,

The guy came type "Cs want to go on a trip?"

It is right here, the YMCA. He had a bus right here.

It was well parked here, I will never forget.

All we climbed on the bus. Not seen evil, were all children, you know?

He said he would only take us to the park. We ended up at Newark Airport.

Then after that, he took us to a park, it was very dark.

I think it was in Willowbrook park at that time.

Total darkness, all running around playing hide and seek and everything.

When we realized we were being kidnapped and had no idea what was going on.

I think he wanted to do something that does not would end and I think the penny dropped from

"I can not do it this way, Let me pull myself together. "

And I think that's what he did, type "let me work with my fangs"

And this is what he did.

While some residents were convinced that Rand was guilty,

Others were not so sure.

Excuse? You They know some Thomas Mickle?

- I'm me. - Oh, hi!

I worked with Andre Rand.

- Can we talk to you for a minute? - Clear!

They say he was fully framed in it.

Who combed that area with a fine tooth comb.

Once arrested Andre Rand,

They tried again and then the body I was there, easy to find.

So, you know ... Maybe he really did not do it.

- Maybe. - Someone who has moved the body there to frame it.

I think they were just trying to frame someone and they will blame him.

Because he was lonely and had this looks kind of scary.

Looking at old files crossed named Bob Graham.

The notes indicated that he met Rand just before being suspected the disappearance of Jennifer.

He worked briefly in a franchise of hamburgers on Forrest Avenue, called Westie's.

And then we used to race in the 60, early '70s, we used to hide there.

He wore that hat paper and was sweeping the parking lot.

Or behind the counter placing the cheese sandwiches.

And he had this Volkswagen that I realized I was in the woods right behind Willowbrook.

He was living in the car, there was a way there ...

And I heard things about the tunnel network under the state school of Willowbrook.

It was armed with multiple segments.

You could leave the cafeteria gardens.

He could survive down there He had worked there since.

- Then there were other people living in the forest? - There were several, was not just him.

I had many people living there.

There's something here.

See, I find it it he was talking about.

It has a tunnel, down all the way

It is a city under the city.

Among the rats and sewage system that was passing by, and dirty clothes ...

- Shelves of clothing, cribs ... - Shelves!

- It's an old wheelchair. - This is very strange.

Certainly men, women and children They lived there, including Andre Rand.

Yes, he had his little circle of friends there.

Look, there's a lot of these holes and all They are well cleaned for living here.

Note the ground. It was totally clean.

Andre Rand had this thing about the lower classes, a white version of Jim Jones * (* See Youtube: Jonestown).

Somehow, he could do that people follow him.

- Who were these people? - Well, he had other homeless.

Someone was living here.

Soup cream mushrooms, dirty dishes ...

Flowers ...

I remember that one day we find a mattress with Prestobarba and toothpaste ...

And men's clothing with a pair of children's underwear.

I think he spent his children to their friends ...

That were so sick as he is.

- Do you think that Rand was the one responsible? - The murder of Jennifer?

No, I do not think he has done everything alone.

They told us lot of strange stories.

They told us strange things about Andre that we could not prove or disprove.

The kind he had sex with people dead, was a story, have you heard or not.

What Andre was used to take bodies the dead in the cemetery and have sex with them.

You thought it strange that sort of thing in Staten Island?

I would never have guessed that there was a lot of weird living in my Staten Island.

Why people do not They were warned by the things that happened here?

For those remotely knew Andre Rand

He was a complete mystery.

The more we tried to know about it,

More bizarre the story was.

It was getting hard to tell the difference between fact and legend.

Trial Week 3

In what looked like a replay of the first judgment of Rand,

The charge again was based on eyewitnesses to prove the case.

Some who witnessed were alcoholics or addicts,

They say now able to recall the details that night more than twenty years ago.

Burns changed his story a few times, basically he was drinking when he saw Holly Ann

He sees Rand talking to Holly Ann

He was the first witness He made the connection between Rand and Holly Ann.

- So these 17 years he never spoke? -. This is not an important part of the problem.

It is a key. He never ruled.

Other witnesses may have provided only the vaguest details on their reports.

- What was he like? - You would not want to meet him.

Martha Hinton Witness - What was he like? - You would not want to meet him.

Martha Hinton Witness

- He was a stranger. - Why? Martha Hinton Witness

- He was a stranger. - Why?

Because it seemed as his killer.

I said what I had to say and it was just that.

Did you see anything in night that Holly Ann disappeared?

Yes, I heard her scream and I heard her say, "Let me go!".

There have been omitted persons information that we find nowadays ...

- As drug addicts, drug dealers.

Fact that you needed?

Needed him have it placed within the car.

Put it in the car?

And you had no witness who saw him put it in the car?

Not at the time.

He came out of that little car Green and asked us if we wanted bullet.

She went to pick up, put his arm in the car when he opened the door and was the last time I saw her.

Tanya Goodson Witness She went to pick up, put his arm in the car when he opened the door and was the last time I saw her.

Tanya Goodson Witness

In a surprising turn of events, Tanya Goodsen was called to his testimony.

Friend Holly Ann says: Masked man took

Holly Ann-worker I was 6 years old at the time, Friend Holly Ann says: Masked man took

Holly Ann-worker I was 6 years old at the time,

Tanya testified that he saw Rand wearing a mask

And holding some candy, Holly Ann putting inside your car.

Well, when you say he took Holly Ann

He was wearing a mask. Tell me more about this.

I do not remember the mask,

All I know is that his face was covered, I could not see his face.

So it may be that It was not a mask,

Maybe he downloaded the head or ...

No, your face whole was covered.

But when you I said "You want candy?"

he looked scary, the way you spoke?

He looked very scary.

You knew Jennifer and Also Holly Ann.

Yes, I knew several of which he kidnapped.

- Did you know Hank Gafforio? - This does not, but he knew Latisha.

Tiahease. Tiahease Jackson. - Yes.

All these people you met, growing up in Staten Island, disappeared.

- What do you think of this? - I do not think anything because I was too young.

And now that I'm older, I came here to do what I should do

And I feel much better now.

- Mr Rand, what you have to say for the people of Staten Island?

They perpetuated a fraud.

- 675 Street Tyson. - Yes, this is it.

30 years ago.

- Alice lived here with ...? - With her mother.

Rita Dimartino Aunt Alice Pereira - Alice lived here with ...? - With her mother.

Who had multiple sclerosis, Rita Dimartino Aunt Alice Pereira

was about 26 years at the time. Rita Dimartino Aunt Alice Pereira

was about 26 years at the time.

And of course, Andre Rand He was right there all the time.

Right there where is that door, and he was the caretaker here.

And at that time, where the father was?

They were separated. There were about 3 years who were separated.

And that's why the detectives thought that the father could have picked up the child,

Alice alive in Puerto Rico? And that's why the detectives thought that the father could have picked up the child,

Another zero in the search for missing girl And that's why the detectives thought that the father could have picked up the child,

Another zero in the search for missing girl

then not focused on the fact that the child has been abducted by some depraved. Another zero in the search for missing girl

Another zero in the search for missing girl

We just want the closing it, just that.

Of course.

It's been so long.

It seems that every world has already forgotten.

He sent us a photo their identity in Riker Island.

"Dear Barbara, you know I can not answer some of your questions now.

The documentary you put such faith

It never works as evidence in my defense in my book.

His intention is good, but more later other filmmakers

depart from where you stopped.

While in prison, I will give to these producers

reasons for me treat it as a bad person.

You know, wickedness sell.

This is how they play. "

Rand was right.

Wickedness, not the facts, it was forcing this trial.

But then the coincidences They could not be ignored.

We knew we would have to get an interview.

But now, in turn, the Rand asked to prove his innocence.

"Barbara, write me exact list of issues

or discussions will you do to me during the documentary. "

This is the road I I think he took Holly Ann.

All evidence leads us here, very close to the Baron Hirsch.

Jack Whitford - Patrol Civil observation Stapleton All evidence leads us here, very close to the Baron Hirsch.

He had a tent here.

We believed that was his.

It can be some of these graves here.

If he had one foot goat or something,

he could have the cover removed

the body placed along the other dead,

and closed it again, no one would ever find out.

- You have a lot of it loose. - Yes.

It has a body here, Right below.

I do not know how background buried them.

They are all children.

At the beginning, we thinking that maybe

he had them to be sold used in rituals or things like that.

Seriously?

- Do you think definitivamente- - I would not doubt it.

I mean, what makes you think this could have happened?

Well, Sam's son was there and this leads us to the story of rituals.

I do not think that just because someone thought about it twenty years ago today do not know, but ...

They still think about it.

Andre was involved satanic ritual

and being native of Staten Island

I really could not believe how much this ...

how big was it in State Island.

We were in an establishment, where the basement was organized, like,

kind of like something They might call church.

And they used celebrate their ceremonies.

In fact, it was the Land of Willowbrook School.

So you do not think you may have been some kids, like ...

Definitely not. Not even. I think they were adults.

Where they could do their ceremonies.

I believe Andre Rand and the gang were part of it.

If began with the thing, or not, were part of it.

It's hard for us to believe but, if you have to convince someone,

that was real, Indeed, what would you say?

I would say ... take some of their friends, sit down and talk to them.

And then the conversation, you would realize how serious the situation is.

Once I was invited to room to talk to them,

when reminded of me, and started tell me about devil worship in Staten Island.

Perhaps he was part of worship and I do not believe it.

What these people believed What was happening?

That maybe some of these devil worshipers had links with the missing children.

You can not paint parallels with things and say "Oh yeah".

You know, I can take a picture of anyone, right? And I can tell

"This guy is a mass murderer"

hence they say "Yes, it is, for sure."

Or I can say, "This guy rescued six people from a burning building "

"I am sure that he's a good man. "

In addition to the police investigation,

other evidence of cult activities They were sent to Jennifer's family.

A mysterious letter claimed that Rand provided children for the "Church of the Process"

The same cult that David Berkowitz says helping him to commit crimes (Son of Sam - Son of Sam Murders)

This anonymous letter was traced Veronica Lueken,

A local woman followed their own religion.

Basically, this right back here group

They wrote these letters of 10.04.87

which are then months the disappearance of Jennifer.

"I thought of writing this letter to try to clarify to you

and simultaneously remind them

about the crimes They are being allowed on the island.

I checked the recent disappearances and the murders of these children

and it seems that some of them were victims of what he calls Satanic Black Mass.

Andre Rand did not kill Jennifer.

All that did was bring it to the brotherhood.

It's a shame that they have covered this,

but who wants to admit that Staten Island You are literally going to hell?

It is a plot of picnic for them.

There are buried bodies you will never find. "

We can talk to you for a minute?

Can you tell me a summary of what you said?

Veronica had visions about human sacrifices in a table

and these priests Satanic sticking knives into it.

- Do you believe this is really happening? - Yes for sure.

You know, they go to the forest ...

- It would be great if you speak on behalf of your organization- - For my safety, not I want to be filmed.

- What if we only record audio? - It's all right.

Since you are worried about them ...

I'm worried about the satânicos- priests Veronica was on a hit list.

She came up with all this knowledge they do not want her to have.

They do not want to be recognized or exposed.

- So you believe they are around, around us? - Yes!

This is the transcription an interview

that detectives did with Andre Rand in 1998 when he was at Sing Sing.

In the first half hour they argue about devil worship.

"So you were in a tent when he told you could

It is occurring activities Satanic in Willowbrook.

Now, in 1987, did you hear about this service working near the neighborhood,

with human sacrifices ...

you did not get to say 'maybe they are the ones who took the little girl '?

It crossed your mind? "

When you were in Sing Sing for 98

You talked to him on numerous things about devil worship.

Well ...

It was something that seemed to have to do.

But as I said, we found nothing linking Andre that kind of people.

There was something called "The Church of the Process" years ago

that was heavily linked to satanic cults

and the founder of that Church lived in Staten Island.

And he lived here for a long time.

Yeah, I mean, he was no longer on active duty? What do you know about it?

No he is not. Supposedly it is no longer active.

- He came to deny or element - I never interviewed ...

There were satanic rituals? People who practiced it?

Of course yes.

But it's something that was in the dead ...

something that very few departments investigated.

Devil worship It is devil worship.

It's like being a Catholic. Do you believe in God and Jesus.

They believe in the devil.

Have you been to houses or in the woods?

They could be in homes, or They could be in the forest.

Have you been in mental hospitals abandoned?

They can be used for such a ...

And they used children?

I prefer not to answer it.

Basically, this is the area known as the Agricultural Colony,

and it is here that said that worship the devil and those things that were going on.

I'm not saying there's nothing here.

Maybe it's just the imagination of people.

Well, it's scary because you do not know who could be here ...

but no devil worshipers.

There are some crosses on the walls the building, all the way.

- We should go there. - Let's take a look.

Building "A".

BarbaraM you want to go? Lets go in.

- No, I will not go there. - But we can not see anything if we do not enter.

I do not .. we ... I will not go ...

We were in there during the day, I will not go.

Are you afraid?

We do not even know if ... I will not go.

I'll.

What the fuck I'm doing here?

My God!

Sorry, I left the lantern fall.

It was the flashlight, I sorry. It was an accident.

You know what, not'm order to stay here.

What?

- You heard? - Yes.

They're coming?

God of heaven !!

- Why you are here tonight? - We hear stories.

Just wanted know what it was, and such.

What do you think You will find here?

People who died here ... Supposedly, it was to have ghosts.

Scouring the Agricultural Colony,

all we found were scaring each other young forest,

just like we did twenty years ago ...

- Do you believe that there are Devil worshipers here? - Ah yes.

There were people who said that they were making bizarre experiments and stuff.

What makes us come here?

What makes us believe in these stories?

Is there some truth in all this?

You've heard about children missing here in Staten Island?

Why? You They are here for this?

They found a girl, Jennifer Schweiger,

buried in the ground the Willowbrook asylum.

I remember my mother saying something about it.

She had some delay?

Perhaps, someone's killing a reality child is too much for people cope.

So, we built our own monsters.

He is not going to testify, I am very disappointed to say.

Rand, kidnapper, not will position He is not going to testify, I am very disappointed to say.

Rand, kidnapper, not will position

He seemed to be wanting disseminate information.

Of course, not necessarily confess something,

but certainly he was very impatient.

And this seemed a good sign to the people who want to get information from them.

He is angry that he did not giving testimony?

It would have been interesting because We never even heard him speak.

So it's very difficult to have some feeling about a person

you do not know.

You do not even know as is their voice.

- How do you not put Andre to testify?

Andre does not have much to add.

And he has a criminal record.

And a criminal record could distract this case.

The jury will deliver case on Monday

and, if convicted, could face an addition Ran 25 years to the time when it is already sentenced.

Staten Island, Amanda Ferinacci, New York One.

Rand was upset for not having given the testimony and wanted a chance to defend himself.

After months writing letters, he finally he agreed to give us an interview.

It was time to confront Rand face to face.

For answers once and for all.

He did the same with me.

After that interview Initial we had with him

we write to he came back and he said

"Sure, no problem, go back and we'll talk again,

But you should come to my house. "

"I can not move.

I will not speak with you unless I come to see me at my house. "

And we went there ...

He said the jailer "I changed your mind, do not want to talk to them. "

He will not talk to us.

We're coming home.

It's a game to him.

For me, it is a very smart guy.

He knew how to commit crime and not get caught.

And as he told me,

"Why do not you They found the real killer? "

"It was their sins that made him hide his face so he will not hear you.

His hands are divorced covered in blood, his fingers full of guilt,

his lips express falsehood and his tongue speaketh lies. "

Josh and I decided to postpone the answer the Rand after his most recent letters.

They were each increasingly bizarre.

His handwriting had changed.

And now he quoted Bible verses.

"No one pleads their cause with justice, nobody does defense with integrity

They are supported by arguments empty and speak lies

They conceive mischief and generate lawlessness.

Hatch snake eggs and weave spider webs.

Anyone who eats their eggs dies, and a crushed egg comes out a viper. "

"My position on beliefs of sexual deviations.

Children are emo- finally worn,

And the place is littered with all these broken lives. "

Why he continues focusing on women?

Does he see any thing as a kid?

I mean, no one really knows nothing about his childhood.

We ship the cards for you, we have all.

Talk about, well, your father died in 1958 ...

- When he was 14 ... - When he was 14 years old.

His mother was in the Pilgrim I was told by the State.

Pilgrim State was built exactly following the model of Willowbrook.

They even ... the same purpose?

Same purpose, same type of building

Same system of tunnels, Even kitchens system.

Rand wrote in her letters that her mother was committed asylum Pilgrim State in Long Island.

In his teens, he visited frequently.

With a population that It surpassed the 13,000 residents

Pilgrim State is the most mental institution in the world,

much like in Willowbrook.

This new connection Family Rand

something that was not We could ignore.

We tried several times to enter in contact with a woman

we think be sister Rand.

Excuse? We Are making a documentary,

and we would talk to you about ...

I think it is your brother, Andre Rand?

The only contact I ever had with him It was when he needed me.

I know nothing about his life.

If he did or did not some thing, I could not tell you.

Something happened in your life that you He believes that led him down the wrong path?

I've been asked this: You were abused when they were children?

They were molested? And no, we were not.

My mother always had emotional problems.

It was not a bad mother. She had problems.

But thus we were not abused. Not apanhávamos.

We're not trying to do that no one should confess something.

- No, it's just for "Why?" It's like giving us alguma-

Try to understand why.

I tried it for years, and never I could understand.

No replies to this, and I do not believe there is any.

I can tell you something, my opinion? I think you two are being manipulated by him.

Received Friday, June 20.

Hello? Joshua Zeman? Here is Andre Rand.

I wonder if you I received my letter.

It's been two weeks now.

And you have not answered me yet.

You still feel that they did not enough at that time?

I do not ... I do not, I think it all worked but did not think it was properly coordinated.

I mean, there's so much surfacing I did not know.

And here they are, and if they do not follow,

I would not be here today.

It would have been established 23 years ago.

You believe it You are damned?

Not with this evidence, it is not believable.

You have 12 people and some of them get stuck on some things

and believe he is guilty or not.

The issue of innocence or culprit is far more fundamental.

This guy already has a criminal record

And that jury, in their hearts

if they allow this guy is free

only summer another tragedy.

The jury took a week to deliberate on the Rand destination

which gave us the opportunity to look for one last person.

Reverend Muskett, a preacher who Rand welcomed into your home in the last days

before his arrest in 1987.

For months we seek about his whereabouts.

Until a detective finally He revealed in his address.

Hello, I'm looking for the Lord Muskett. I do not know if he will want get more involved with this story.

Perhaps you feel that your family has negative attention

as a result all this, I know that.

- Yes, really we feel it. - Yes.

This is one of the reasons we came to Pennsylvania.

So Rand was living in your home

as was suspected by disappearance of Jennifer?

Yes, it was the very insistence police ...

we welcome Rand in our house.

Bold bait in the case sequestration

Reverend endangered his own family

They bugged the house and They had a surveillance car Reverend endangered his own family

They bugged the house and They had a surveillance car

which was in the corner day and night.

Church of "God Within"

Room where Rand was

We could not tell people what we were doing,

therefore, obviously, if we said

he would know and would go away.

Then, while community did not know

were friends Andre Rand.

Confronted Reverend by rioters

- They threatened you physically? - Some people do. Confronted Reverend by rioters

- They threatened you physically? - Some people do.

They do not saw as a friend.

But I was friend of Jennifer.

Why you believe he took Jennifer?

He told me.

He told me who took it.

He took it by believe she was ...

That her family not wanted,

and that she was alone,

and he felt that people who possessed a mental disability

They should not live.

Some clues of searches for missing children

Not thinking that people would enjoy, or cared or liked

someone who had a mental handicap.

Andre believed that these little girls came from families

which could not give them anything.

Then the best would be that they were not around.

It seemed that he thought it was part of its mission

to clean the world

Imperfect children,

in his view.

Because her mother have had some type of mental instability

and for him to see these other people as "not perfect"

I personally believe that in place to see them may grow up and have children,

it would be the saving and taking off.

One of my sons It has mental retardation.

I walked with him, his name is Chippy.

What probably attracted to ...

for ...

Well, for us ...

Due to the way Chippy was that.

I think he It is possessed.

I really believe that he is possessed and possessed

We did the same questions that you are doing for me.

"Why did he do it?" "What led to this?"

Believe me, we were open to all possibilities.

We consider a lot of things. Of any kind, or reason.

When I finally interviewed, it would be the last interview

when he would be taken back to his alibi

we had to rent a hotel room.

We said "Andre, you see, we have this tape Willowbrook.

Remember you I used to work there? "

"Oh yes, it was terrible." "Remember how Geraldo Rivera exposed the place"?

And he said "Yes, but I never saw "

"But we saw, I would go up and see? We have a VCR here. "

And he said "You know, I would rather."

And we say that it worked in Willowbrook for two years, he was a physical therapist,

Maybe you have something on that tape that will shake you.

"It may be that the government defend and explain the cost cuts

for mental hygiene department,

and that Dr. Miller can explain

and defend the poor and degrading conditions

we find in this and other buildings,

but they did not will this program.

What we find and We document here

It is a disgrace for all of us.

This place does not It is a school,

It is a dark place where We throw our children

we do not consider beautiful to be looking.

It is more like a leper colony.

We sat in their side, and he began to cry.

He said "They saw how there was? See how was it? We were victims too."

Referring to the assistants or to people who worked there.

He just sat and his eyes, like, rolled up,

and he started drooling in the hotel room.

We could see the What happened to it

and it's like you could kneel facing him and

"Tell me! Tell us the truth now, "you know?

"God will forgive you"

We were so close that we think we could, but give it began to sway.

He was that way all night,

the next day too, and he only returned to talk to people in 2 or 3 days later.

As it is initiated,

in the end, it all ended back to Willowbrook.

The answers to these missing children

They found Geraldo on tape?

If so, would the sins of Willowbrook finally returned to haunt residents

Staten Island?

All the news, all the time.

This is a win 10/10.

You give us 22 minutes and we we'll give you the world.

The guilty verdict, 23 years after the challenge pearance of Holly Ann Hughes 7 years

outside of your home in Staten Island.

- Here are the heroes. Heroes, heroes, heroes.

- He's a killer. A murderer and kidnapper.

Tell us where she is. Tell us where the other children.

I searched for them. I the meet.

Is there anything else? Of course, yes, it is speculated.

But we certeficaremos that these cases, someday, come to trial

and thus all the other families,

have the same kind of fairness Schweiger and which had Hughes.

A weight too large left ...

Taken away from me right now. I feel much better.

Feel the certainty of closure ment with this verdict?

Well, you know what ...

Will not bring Holly Ann back, you know that,

But ... she's watching.

And that's enough.

The killer received a lot of nicknames,

Pied Piper (Piper) Hannibal Lecter,

The bogeyman Staten Island.

His victims were all vulnerable were children.

And tonight the Prosecutors are making sure

this predator remain behind bars.

23 years ago, the city entire froze

with the image of an innocent girl 7 years old,

who disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, Holly Ann Hughes He never returned home.

What was accomplished today assures us that Andre Rand will die in prison.

Andre Rand was sentenced to 25 years for kidnapping Holly Ann Hughes.

You can answer in parole in 2037.

He will be with 93-year-old.

The monster He deserves to die

No matter how horrible were the allegations, The monster He deserves to die

No matter how horrible were the allegations,

this case was a very difficult case

Rand sentence: "From prison to hell" this case was a very difficult case

which proved conclusively that this guy did it. Rand sentence: "From prison to hell"

Rand sentence: "From prison to hell"

This goes to show that, when a child is injured, Rand sentence: "From prison to hell"

This goes to show that, when a child is injured,

a child innocent disappears,

you know, people basically want to lynch you.

What if they had to opportunity to lynch someone,

they lynch Rand.

Did you think this day would come?

Do Not.

No, I never thought I would come this far.

I do not feel like It was all completed.

You know, it's ... I mean, you never ends something

and this word Also worth nothing.

Well, it happened. This is it.

You have to live with it. You have no option.

Just want to find what's left and put it to rest.

Part of the testimony in this case um ... he claimed that we were looking in the wrong place.

And you know what? I will sure to look for the right place.

- And where would it be? - This is Willowbrook.
