Andre Rand (born Frank Rostum Rushan; March 11, 1944), also known as Frank Bruchette and dubbed the Pied Piper of Staten Island, is an American convicted child kidnapper, sex offender and suspected serial killer who is currently serving two sentences of twenty-five years to life in prison for the abductions of two girls, age 7 and 12, on Staten Island, New York. He is eligible for parole in 2037. Rand is the subject of the 2009 documentary Cropsey, which speculates that he may have been the source of an urban legend known by that name.
