Manhunt Continues For Alleged Killer

A manhunt for a homicide suspect in the Brighton-Paul Smiths area has lasted for more than a week, with the Cohoes man suspected in the death of his girlfriend still on the run. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports multiple local, state and federal agencies are still “actively searching” daily in the woods around where 53-year-old Anthony G. Bechand’s truck was found at the intersection of county Route 60 and state Route 86 in Brighton. The victim, his girlfriend Amanda Margaret “Mandee” Rodriguez, 41, has family ties to Franklin County.
