Update State Police investigate a missing person in the town of Peru

On January 7, 2025, the New York State Police with the assistance of the Plattsburgh Police Department arrested Timothy Timmons, 61, of Plattsburgh, NY, for Murder 2nd degree.

Jahfari J. Joseph, 40, of Plattsburgh, NY, was reported missing to the Plattsburgh Police Department. The New York State Police executed multiple search warrants, processed the scene, and conducted multiple interviews to gather evidence resulting in an arrest of Timmons.

Timmons was processed at SP Plattsburgh and arraigned in the Town of Peru.  He was remanded to Clinton County jail without bail.

The New York State Police is assisted in this investigation by the Clinton County District Attorney’s Office, Plattsburgh Police Department, Clinton County Sheriff’s Department, and Homeland Security Investigations, and the New York State Police’s Forensics Identification Unit continues to process multiple scenes.

This does not appear to be a random act of violence and there is no ongoing threat to the community.
