A jury convicted Thayne Ormsby of three counts of murder and arson in the stabbing deaths of Jeffrey Ryan, Jesse Ryan and Jason Dehahn at the Ryan home in Amity, Maine, and he was sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus 15 years.

Ormsby, then 20 and from Ellsworth, Maine, had been living in Orient, Maine, with the family of Robert Strout. Jeffrey Ryan, 55, lived on U.S. Route 1 with his son Jesse, 10. Dehahn, 30, was a family friend.

The three were found stabbed to death on June 22, 2010. Police said they had been killed about 27 hours earlier, placing the killings on June 21, 2010, although some reporting gives June 22 as the date. All three were stabbed with a combat style knife. Ryan's truck was stolen and burned on a field road in Weston.

Police linked Ormsby to the house through DNA and fingerprint evidence from a beer can and a cigarette butt found inside. Strout drove him to New Hampshire and was later charged with hindering apprehension and arson. State police divers recovered the knife from a beaver bog.

Maine State Police detectives Dale Keegan and Adam Stoutamyer questioned Ormsby in Dover, New Hampshire, first on June 29, 2010, without Miranda warnings, and again on July 2, 2010. The detectives testified that during the second session, Ormsby was read his Miranda rights several times and told he could stop or ask for a lawyer. According to their testimony, he kept to his original story until confronted with evidence from the scene, then admitted the killings and wrote out a confession. He said he believed Ryan was a drug dealer, but Ryan's family denied it and a background check found no drug offenses.

Ormsby pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and arson. The jury convicted him on all counts on April 13, 2012. In June 2012, Justice E. Allen Hunter imposed the three consecutive life terms and a consecutive 15-year sentence for arson.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court unanimously upheld the convictions and sentences on October 29, 2013, rejecting claims that Ormsby's rights to counsel and to remain silent were violated and that he should have received a change of venue. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case in March 2014. Justice Hunter denied his petition for post-conviction review on January 3, 2019. In September 2020, Ormsby filed a federal habeas corpus petition arguing that detectives continued questioning him after he asked for a lawyer. No ruling on it has been publicly reported. He is held at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham.
