Son Arrested for Killing Father in Fire | Durham News

A chilling case unfolds in New York as 32-year-old Thomas Ryan is arrested for allegedly murdering his father, Robert Ryan, and setting their home ablaze. The fire, intentionally lit, claimed the life of the 70-year-old retiree—described by family as a beloved community pillar—who had moved to Orange County from Long Island. With Ryan believed armed and dangerous, authorities launched a manhunt across regions he frequented, including Plattsburgh, using surveillance and rail partners to track him down. His transient lifestyle and lack of local ties complicated the search. As investigators dig deeper into the motive behind the arson and murder, they’re urging residents to share any footage from the night of the tragedy.
