Man Arrested After Father’s Fatal Fire | Albany News

A deadly house fire in Orange County claimed the life of 70-year-old Robert Ryan, whose son, 32-year-old Thomas Ryan, is now in custody after a tense, multi-day manhunt. Authorities say the blaze was intentionally set, classifying it as homicide. Thomas was spotted fleeing the scene in his father’s gray Prius and was considered armed and dangerous. With a transient past and no ties to the Greenville community, he evaded capture for days until his arrest in Schoharie County’s Gilboa area late Sunday night. His sister revealed a troubling history of untreated mental illness, while a neighbor described witnessing the home engulfed in flames — a chilling end to a family tragedy still under investigation.
