Manhunt Underway for Suspect Who Allegedly Killed Father, Set Fire as Cover
Police warned the suspect, Thomas David Ryan, should be considered armed and dangerous, urging the public not to approach him.
New York State Police have announced the capture of 32-year-old Thomas David Ryan in connection with the death of his 70-year-old father and the arson of their home in the Hudson Valley. The suspect, whose background is marked by a transient lifestyle and seven prior arrests in New York City, was arrested in connection with the incident in the Gilboa area of Schoharie County.
The 70-year-old Robert Ryan was found dead in their Greenville home following a house fire that authorities believe was intentionally set to cover up the crime. State police had been actively searching for Ryan in the area and appealed to residents for help in locating him, emphasizing that any small detail could assist in locating him safely.
Ryan's sister, Stephanie Coiro, revealed that her brother has been struggling with severe mental illness and that their father had recently picked him up after receiving a call for assistance. Coiro also mentioned that their father had dementia.
