Rand, who is mentally incompetent, is also a suspect in the New York disappearances of Tiahease Jackson, Audrey Lynn Nerenberg and Alice Pereia. All of the girls vanished from the Staten Island area, with the exception of Nerenberg. Authorities determined that Rand's aunt lived in the same Port Richmond apartment building where Hughes' family resided in 1981.

The investigation into Rand's involvement in these cases has continued into the year 2002.
Rand is serving a 25-years-to-life sentence in the 1987 kidnapping of Jennifer Schweiger, a 12-year-old with Down's syndrome. He was also convicted in 1970 of raping a 9-year-old.
On October 19, 2004, a Staten Island jury convicted Andre Rand of first-degree kidnapping in connection with the abduction of Hughes. Rand now faces up to 25 years to life in prison. Sentencing is set for November 10, 2004.
