The manhunt for a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide investigation in Orange County has ended, New York State Police announced Sunday morning.
Thomas David Ryan was taken into custody in the Gilboa area of Schoharie County.
Ryan was wanted in connection with the death of his father, 70-year-old Robert Ryan, whose body was found inside his Greenville home after a fire broke out Thursday evening.
State police previously said surveillance footage from a neighboring home showed the 32-year-old carrying a garbage can filled with chopped wood toward the house and running from the area shortly before the fire started.
As the search intensified, state police assigned additional patrol units to Greenville and surrounding communities, canvassed neighborhoods and asked residents and businesses to review surveillance footage from Thursday night.
State police also said Ryan left the area in his father's 2016 Toyota Prius and said he was known to travel by train.
Robert Ryan's cause of death remains unknown as of Sunday morning.
