Police launched a massive manhunt Tuesday for a violent sex offender and career criminal sought in the horrific Queens fire that killed the elderly parents of an FDNY paramedic.
Jamel McGriff, 42, an ex-con on parole with a string of career busts, has been identified as a suspect in the vicious deaths of 78-year-old Maureen Olton and her husband, Frank Thomas Olton, 76, who was found bound to a pole in the basement with multiple stab wounds after their Bellerose home was torched Monday, police and law enforcement sources said.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said McGriff is “armed and dangerous” and has a 30-year-long criminal record
“The suspect’s MO is to go door to door, asking for some kind of assistance until he can gain entry,” Tisch told reporters Tuesday. *** Tisch said the suspected killer entered the 254th Street home through a backdoor around 10:15 a.m. Monday – and was caught on surveillance footage leaving after terrorizing the elderly victims for nearly five hours.
Frank Olton had been doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire, while both victims were stabbed multiple times, sources said.
McGriff spent nearly 17 years of a 20-year sentence in state prison on a 2006 robbery, sex act and assault conviction — and was still on parole following his release in 2023, state correction records show.
McGriff had robbed a 34-year-old man at knifepoint on an F train on Nov. 12, 2005, snatching a $200 watch and $40 in cash, according to sources.

So we are now to be treated to every black murder of a white person? Maybe that is what it will take. Idk.
Hmm....pattern recognition anyone?
Is the NY Post the only newspaper that carries these stories?
Dilbert was right.
Gee Whiz, another Feral Negro Murderer of Whites, it's a daily rarity ...
Nothing any other paper has ever done could top Headless Body found in Topless Bar so the Post has that. They cover what’s important!
True.
RE: Is the NY Post the only newspaper that carries these stories?
Yes, and I remember a Dem spokesman a few years ago saying with contempt and disdain in his voice: “And that shows why it would have to be published in the——New York Post-—”(sounding like he’s holding his nose) (meaning tabloid trashy gossip such as Trump is innocent in the Russia hoax).
> Is the NY Post the only newspaper that carries these stories? <
It’s the NY Post and the British tabloids. They usually hit the ground running. Great credit to them.
Every other news source seems to be hesitant: Let’s see how we can spin this.
Dead eyes.
30-year criminal record that started when he was TWELVE.
NYC should be plastered with “Shoot on Sight/Do Not Attempt to Apprehend” posters for this bastard.
Are you joking? New Yorkers are about to elect a mayor who promises to empty the prisons. NYC gets what it deserves.
“after terrorizing the elderly victims for nearly five hours.”
Who did the psych interviews with this piece of human shit?
He’s a sociopath that should have never been released from prison.
And his parole officer?
Why wasn’t he registered as a sex offender?
Sounds like the legal, penal and parole system totally screwed up.
I always see the same thing in these black killers’ eyes. Its genetic - I know it is. And I don’t care if its racist to say so.
Another one..just HORRIBLE..and of course he was set free what else is knew
Just what I figured, one of Obozo’s sons.
“MAGA bashes black man using warming fire after kicked out of low income housing due to DOGE cuts.”
“Jamel”
Nuff said. You can take it from there.
You assume letting people like him loose to prey upon the law-abiding was not intentional.
