Authorities in upstate New York are actively searching for a 53-year-old man suspected of homicide. Anthony Bechand has been missing since his girlfriend, 41-year-old Amanda Rodriguez, was discovered dead in her Cohoes home on Sunday morning.

The Cohoes Police Department initiated the investigation and subsequently requested assistance from the New York State Police. Investigators have determined that Bechand fled the scene in an unknown direction and was wearing an unspecified outfit at the time of his departure.

Rodriguez lived in a single-family home with Bechand. As of Wednesday, he remains at large and is considered "armed and dangerous," according to Cohoes Police Chief Todd Waldin.

Bechand was believed to have been driving a white 2024 Chevrolet Suburban. However, authorities located the vehicle on Sunday at the intersection of County Route 60 and County Route 86 in the Town of Brighton, Franklin County.

Bechand is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing approximately 180 pounds, with hazel eyes and brown hair. Police have emphasized the importance of public assistance in this ongoing investigation.

Anyone who may have seen Bechand or has information regarding his whereabouts is urged to contact the New York State Police at 518-897-2000.
