BUFFALO, NY.- According to U.S.Attorney Michael DiGiacomo, on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, Matthew Rudy, 43, of Jamestown, New York, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York and was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Court Judge William M. Skretny to 60 months in federal prison, for his conviction on the charge of Accessory After the Fact, for his role in the kidnapping and murder of a man.

According To Evidence Presented During Rudy’s Trial

     According to evidence and testimony presented at trial, on May 27, 2014, Anthony Neubauer kidnapped Joseph Anthony and traveled from Jamestown, New York, to a property in Pennsylvania owned by Rudy.

     Neubauer tricked Anthony into traveling by offering him cocaine. After arriving in Pennsylvania, Nuebauer and Rudy told Anthony they did not have any cocaine before shooting and killing him and then burying him on Rudy’s property. Neubauer and Rudy took Anthony to Pennsylvania because they believed him to be a confidential informant during a narcotics investigation.

     Neubauer previously pleaded guilty to his role in the murder of Mr. Anthony and is currently awaiting sentencing.
