New York State Police have launched an extensive manhunt for Thomas Ryan, a 32-year-old suspect believed to be responsible for the homicide of his father and the subsequent arson of their family home. The incident occurred on Thursday in Greenville, located in Orange County, New York. Investigators responded to a fire at a residence on Greenville Turnpike, where they discovered the body of 70-year-old Robert Ryan inside the structure after extinguishing the flames. A preliminary investigation determined that the fire was deliberately set to conceal the crime, leading authorities to classify the death as a homicide. Video footage obtained by ABC News appears to capture Ryan fleeing the burning residence, corroborating the timeline of events. Ryan is described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. At the time of the incident, he was last seen in the vicinity of Greenville Turnpike wearing black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. Law enforcement sources indicate that Ryan is considered armed and dangerous and is believed to be operating a 2016 gray Toyota Prius with New York license plate HNH-7671. Investigators are also examining Ryan’s mental health history as part of the ongoing inquiry. Stephanie Coiro, Robert Ryan’s daughter, expressed profound grief, describing her father as a pillar of the community who was deeply respected and did not deserve such a violent end. The New York State Police are urging residents in the Greenville area to review any home surveillance footage recorded from approximately 6:00 p.m. on Thursday through the overnight hours. Authorities emphasize that the public should not approach Ryan under any circumstances. Instead, anyone with information regarding his whereabouts or suspicious activity is instructed to contact New York State Police Troop F Communications immediately at (845) 344-5300 or dial 911. Tips may also be submitted via email to the protected address provided by the agency. The suspect remains at large as the investigation continues.
