Homicide Suspect in Custody After Days Long Manhunt, State Police Say
Investigators say the fire was set to hide the killing, and police warn the 32-year-old suspect is armed and dangerous.
- A statewide manhunt is underway for 32-year-old Thomas David Ryan following the death of his 70-year-old father, Robert Ryan, and a deliberately set house fire in Greenville, Orange County, on Thursday, August 6.
- Stephanie Coiro, the victim's daughter, said her father recently picked up his son after a plea for assistance, bringing him to the Greenville home hours before the fatal fire. She described her father as a 'pillar' who would 'never turn his back on his son.'
- Surveillance footage captured Thomas running from the burning residence, according to authorities. Investigators believe he is operating a 2016 gray Toyota Prius with New York license plate HNH-7671 and describe the 6-foot-2, 200-pound man as armed and dangerous.
- New York State Police have increased patrols across Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster counties to locate the suspect. Officials urge the public to call 911 or contact the Middletown Bureau of Criminal Investigation at 845-344-5300 with information.
- Coiro characterized her brother's story as one of 'systemic failure,' citing his severe mental illness. Ryan has seven prior arrests in New York City and remains on probation until April 2028.
