Montgomery County police search for missing man after parole officer found dead – NBC4 Washington

A Chevrolet Chase man is wanted in connection with the death of his parole officer, Montgomery County police said in a news release.

Montgomery County officers went to an apartment in the 2800 block of Terrace Drive in Chevy Chase on Friday for a welfare check.

A parole officer had gone to check on Emanuel Edward Sewell, a registered sex offender, and did not return to work after the check, police said.

When police arrived at the apartment Friday evening, they found the body of the missing parole officer. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Sewell was not in the apartment and police have not yet found him, police said.

Police are searching for Sewell, with a warrant out for his arrest for second-degree murder, and are asking for the public's help in their search.

Sewell, 54, may be driving a gray 2017 Hyundai Elantra, police said, with Maryland tags 93661HT. He may be armed and the police consider him dangerous.

Anyone with information about Sewell or his whereabouts is asked to call Montgomery County police at 301-279-8000. Anyone who thinks they see Sewell should not approach him but should call police, they said.

Police have not yet released the name of the parole officer, but plan to do so after his family is notified. He was an officer with the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
