Police Search For One of FBI’s Most Wanted in Hudson Valley
Police searched the area for a Hudson Valley man who's considered "armed and dangerous" and is one of the most wanted people by the FBI.
In 2019, Eugene Palmer was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Palmer is wanted on a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution in the alleged murder of his daughter-in-law in September 2012.
Palmer allegedly shot and killed daughter-in-law Tammy Palmer outside her home near Willow Grove Road in Stony Point. Palmer left the scene in a pick-up truck, which was later found near Harriman State Park in Rockland County.
Tammy's dead body was found in Haverstraw. Palmer was last seen entering Harriman State Park. Police searched Harriman State Park looking for Eugene Palmer but he's never been found. Family members said he was very familiar with the wooded area in the state park that's located in Rockland and Orange counties.

Last week the FBI raided the Warick home of Palmer's granddaughter. Jamie Lynn Rose claims about 40 FBI agents showed up at her Orange County home and pointed guns at her and her children.
"Thanks for wasting my time, traumatizing my children and wasting tax payers money. I literally still feel like I can't breathe. LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE," Rose wrote on Facebook. "My children, my babies were handcuffed like felons and slammed against cars... when does it end? When is enough, enough when will they leave my family alone."
The FBI was investigating a tip that said Palmer was inside the Warwick home, NBC reports. Palmer was not found in the home. His whereabouts remain unknown.
According to the FBI, Palmer "should be considered armed and dangerous." Palmer is known to be interested in auto racing and is a car enthusiast and is also an experienced hunter and outdoorsman, the FBI says.
Palmer is described as being a 5'10" 220-pound white man with gray balding hair and brown eyes. His left thumb is deformed.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Palmer. Anyone with information should take no action themselves, but should immediately contact the nearest FBI office or local law enforcement agency. Tips can also be submitted online at tips.fbi.gov.
