The Missouri Highway Patrol has released new photos of a person of interest wanted in connection with the deaths of two people in rural Carroll County, Missouri.

Authorities are searching for 48-year-old Ryan A. Munson of Carrollton, Missouri, in connection with the case.

Troopers said in a news release Tuesday that Munson should be considered armed and dangerous. Authorities said do not approach him. Instead, call 911 immediately.

Authorities believe Munson may be in northeastern Missouri, southeastern Iowa or in the tri-state area of western Illinois.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office contacted the MSHP Rural Major Case Squad late Sunday morning to request help investigating a double homicide there.

The highway patrol said the killings happened at a home near Route MM and County Road 250.

Munson was last seen driving a 2017 Ram quad cab with Missouri license plate 3YHG01. It was last seen Sunday afternoon heading north on US-61 near Hannibal, Missouri.

Troopers said, to protect the integrity of the investigation, specific details about the case are not being released at this time.

If you have any information about this case, you should give the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop A headquarters a call at 816-622-0800 or the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 660-542-2828.
