Jose Carlos Jacome-Granizo, 29, is charged with murder in the death of Emily Elizabeth Montgomery, 26.

A Silver Alert was issued for Montgomery on Dec. 1 after a parent of Montgomery contacted Apex police after they were unable to contact her for an “extended period of time.”

Police said Montgomery was last seen at her home on Lanasa Lane in Apex around 10 p.m. on Nov. 25.

Apex police said US Marshals took the suspect into custody on Wednesday.

An arrest warrant for Jacome-Granizo showed police believe the murder happened on Nov. 26 or Nov. 27.

According to Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman, the investigation into Montgomery’s murder is ongoing and her body has not been located at this time.
