TJ Greene Death – Elvis Tribute Artist and Star Trek Tour Guide TJ Greene Ticonderoga, New York has sadly passed away. He was found dead on Tuesday 9th April 2024 after days of going missing. According to information released, TJ was murdered and a suspect have been taken into custody. He was confirmed dead through a publication that says “I have some unfortunate news to share. Our friend TJ Greene had been found deceased & a suspect is in custody. I want to thank everyone who has been helping us find him and sharing the flyer. Please keep his family & wife Heidi Mae Greene in your prayers”.
The Saratoga County Sheriff's Office reported on Tuesday that Krider had been found dead in Milton, New York, after he was reported missing by his wife on Saturday morning, according to the Times Union.
On Tuesday, the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office said they had arrested 69-year-old Ronald Rayher, of Milton, on charges of second-degree manslaughter and tampering with physical evidence.
The sheriff's office said Rayher allegedly killed Krider at his home in Milton on April 5. They said Rayher also allegedly tampered with and suppressed evidence after the incident.
Krider's wife, Heidi Greene, told the Times Union that her husband had left their home on Friday to pick up a free box spring from someone in exchange for helping them move some furniture.
Greene said Krider was supposed to return home to work a shift as a tour guide at his job at Star Trek Tour that weekend, as well as to work for a special event during the solar eclipse, but wasn't heard from again.
He loved his job too much to ever miss a shift, Greene told the Times Union.
Greene told the Times Union that she and Krider were both Poultney residents who had met nearly 20 years ago while working at the Rutland, Vermont, Walmart. They moved to the Glens Falls area soon after, where Krider worked as a costumed character at Six Flags Great Escape.
James Cawley, of the Ticonderoga Star Trek Tour, released the following statement about Krider's death, saying in part:
"TJ Greene was an employee and tour guide at the Star Trek Set Tour and a great friend to everyone here. He was a talented Elvis tribute artist. He will be remembered for his kind and trusting soul and his warm, friendly demeanor. We are devastated by his loss and will keep him close to our hearts."
Rayher was arraigned in Milton Town Court and remanded to the Saratoga County.
This was brought to my attention yesterday that a very talented ETA was found after going missing for days. I needed to do some research before posting.
A senseless loss of life at another’s hand. Never trust anyone
I didn’t know him but I am sure many here did.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
If there are any updates please share with us.
