Howell, 37, of Newfield, who was charged with first- and second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and three counts of intimidating a witness; Colleen E. Dillon, 31, of Newfield, who was charged with first- and second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping; and Kysha S. Radcliff, 39, of Lansing, who was charged with first-degree kidnapping. All three were indicted by a Tioga County grand jury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Police also noted that Jonathan Glennon, 31, of Ithaca, who was previously charged with first-degree murder, is now facing additional charges of second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Police previously explained that after a months long investigation with hundreds of interviews, investigators were able to determine that Rath was forcibly kidnapped from the natural area behind Lowes in the city of Ithaca, known as the \u201cJungle\u201d, and then murdered. The investigation spanned Tompkins County, Tioga County, and into the state of Maine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The other arrests include: Angelo Baez, age 48 of Ithaca for murder in the second degree, class \u201cA\u201d felony, kidnapping in the first degree, class \u201cA\u201d felony; Colleen E. Dillon, age 31 of Newfield, for kidnapping in the first degree, class \u201cA\u201d felony; Zayne G.

On that day, the Ithaca City Police Department received a call to \u201ccheck the welfare.\u201d At that point, an investigation was initiated with very limited information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On May 26, investigators received more information that determined Rath\u2019s disappearance was a result of suspicious circumstances. On that date, Ithaca City Police requested and received assistance from the New York State Police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On May 31, information was developed that on May 20, Rath had been at a residence located at 70 Benjamin Hill Rd. in the town of Newfield. On that date, a search warrant was authored and executed for that residence, said police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On June 2, there was a large-scale foot search conducted in the surrounding area of 70 Benjamin Hill Road in the town of Newfield. Over 80 law enforcement members and volunteers from Tompkins and Tioga Rescue Teams assisted in that search, police stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the days after that over 40 search warrants were authored and executed at various locations, police said. On Aug. 3, Rath\u2019s remains were located buried in a shallow grave on state lands off Ekroos Road in the town of Candor, Tioga County.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Police added that more indictments are pending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York State Police recently announced that three more people are being charged in the kidnapping and murder of an Ithaca man, whose body was&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":82786,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-police-courts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
