Alamance County seeks help finding wanted sex offender Christopher Edwall

Alamance County deputies are asking residents to help locate Christopher Wayne Edwall, a convicted sex offender who has remained at large since 2025 while facing some of the county’s most serious felony allegations. The Alamance County Sheriff’s Office says Edwall is wanted on one count of felony first-degree statutory sex offense and four counts of felony indecent liberties with a child.

The case has become a fugitive search, not a routine warrant check. That distinction matters for a county where public-safety alerts often hinge on whether law enforcement is treating a person as actively evading arrest. In Edwall’s case, investigators are still trying to generate fresh leads from the public while he remains out of custody.

The sheriff’s office is directing anyone with information to contact local law enforcement right away. Tips can also be sent through Alamance County Crime Stoppers, through the P3 app, or by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline. Those channels are the main public entry points now being used to help investigators narrow down Edwall’s location.

For Alamance County residents, the practical concern is straightforward: this is an unresolved search for a man accused of sexual offenses involving a child. Anyone who recognizes Christopher Wayne Edwall, sees suspicious behavior tied to someone matching his description, or knows of places he may be staying should report it immediately rather than trying to confront him.

The sheriff’s office has not described this as a closed case or a stale warrant. By continuing to push the alert through Crime Stoppers, deputies are signaling that Edwall is still considered a live threat to public safety and that the search remains active across Alamance County and beyond.
