A large-scale manhunt stretching from Orange County into Upstate New York came to an end over the weekend after New York State Police announced that Thomas David Ryan had been taken into custody in the Gilboa area of Schoharie County. State Police said the active search had concluded and thanked the public and assisting law enforcement agencies for their help.

Ryan was being sought in connection with a deadly fire Thursday evening at a home in Greenville, Orange County. After firefighters extinguished the blaze, a man was found dead inside the home. The victim was identified as Ryan’s father, and authorities began investigating the case as a homicide and arson.

By Saturday, the search had moved roughly 100 miles north to the rural Gilboa area of Schoharie County, where a major police operation unfolded as officers worked to track Ryan down, with a heavy law enforcement presence across the area as the manhunt intensified.

According to reports from the scene, Route 990V was shut down in both directions for much of the day, and residents living along the roadway were initially not allowed to return to their homes while police searched for Ryan. The closure left parts of the area effectively locked down as the operation continued.

A command center was reportedly established at the Gilboa dam offices, while a helicopter circled overhead and multiple SWAT armored vehicles arrived in the area. Photos and reports from the scene showed a massive police presence as officers spread throughout the surrounding roads and fields.

The search also centered around a vehicle believed to be connected to Ryan. Local residents reportedly spotted the car near a church in the area, with one report indicating it had been seen there Friday evening and again on Saturday before police located it. Witnesses later reported seeing State Troopers pursuing Ryan in a foot-chase through local fields and forests as officers closed in.

State Police later officially confirmed that Ryan had been taken into custody and that the active search in Gilboa was over. Additional details surrounding his arrest, the death of his father and any charges against him are expected to be released as the investigation continues.
