Police are searching for a gray 2016 Toyota Prius with New York license plate HNH-7671, believed to be driven by murder suspect Thomas Ryan. <\/p>\n

Police say Thomas Ryan didn’t live with his father in the home, and “has no other known current ties to the Greenville community.” They did say, however, that Thomas Ryan frequents the Plattsburgh area, but that he also has been living at multiple shelters throughout New York State.<\/p>\n

According to officials, Robert Ryan was killed before the house was set on fire.<\/p>\n

What you can do:<\/p>\n

Half a dozen law enforcement agencies are searching for Thomas Ryan, including the FBI and New York State Police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
