Did you grow up on Staten Island? I've been watching a retelling of the "Cropsey" story on YouTube. Got me wondering if you grew up with the story and whether you—or anyone else here—knew the story as a kid.
FYI. Here's a link to what I've been watching.

Oh that’s a VERY well known one. We had a Scout leader that used to re-tell it on every camping trip. I’ll definitely be watching that, thanks for posting it!!

I mean…none of you have ever seen me…
I also remember the Rand arrest and the search for Jennifer Schweitzer’s body. I was about 1 years old at the time and the concept of being kidnapped and winding up in a shallow grave was definitely something we thought about. There had been several cases of that not connected to Rand as well.
I was also good friends with the first cousin of Holly Ann Hughes, another Rand victim, but that was in 1981 and I was too young to remember that one. Didn’t learn she was related to my friend until after the Schweitzer case in 1987.

It sounds like a “you know you’re old when” situation, when you think someone who is 44 is young.
