people she was selfless where is my child I told you where your child in this car what car she's in this PO right here
behind us I didn't know if I wanted to believe that she was in that car I didn't want
her to be CU if she wasn't she was then it was real and she was gone how yall doing who was the one that
actually drove by you saw it first so I pull over and I seen throughout my passenger seat and I was like she must
be just slumped over maybe she just drunking him the door was already open I I was like Hey like I shook her and
that's when I called 911 911 dead so what it looking like to Y it was Ghost Out 6:00 in the morning I'm at home when
my telephone rings Sheriff wanted me to come in sit with Matthew at the hospital all right
Matthew Matthew Edgar right yeah and while I was there I interviewed him I had no clue why I'm here no clue no you
have a girlfriend T I have an exgirlfriend named Ley he was found in the fetal position behind the vehicle that Levy
was found in when was the last time you saw Livy to he remembers drinking on his
porch and the next thing he remembered he was waking up in the back of an ambulance you don't know how you ended
up on the ground behind the car so with the dead girl in I have a clue there was a rifle some
shoes and a hat also on the ground that's his Boot and he was laying there beside how'd you get all the blood all
over your face don't know cuz the hospital said you don't have any injuries what are you thinking I'm thinking that
he's not telling me the truth he's just basically telling you a Texas fairy tale
right correct I won't be flat out honest with you but unfortunately there is a deceased female in that vehicle that's
in front of yours and my job is to find out why she's dead who is the dead girl did they tell you and they liby I
informed him that Miss Lewis had passed he started with this what I would describe as forced crying did you see
any tears not a single one the world seems to think that Matthew Edgar is a murderer do you believe that I do not do
you believe that someone else pulled that trigger I do I believe it was someone that was close to Matthew someone that
was involved in events of that evening we got all the DNA results back and there were some holes in the case
there were no fingerprints taken or DNA lifted off the gun there were DNA samples from liby that showed there was
another man I have no doubt and I'm going to make this perfectly clear Matthew Edgar
killed Miss Lewis and you put your reputation on that absolutely [Music] [Music]
in the early morning hours of Halloween 2020 a day when the boundaries between the living and the dead become blurred
Libby Lewis was discovered draped over the steering wheel of her car dead from a rifle shot to the neck here's her ID
Livy had just turned 19 I don't know if dispatch has notified her next to K or not it
happened in hemp Hill a Tiny Town in Texas with a popular just over 1,000 the kind of place where
no one is a stranger and news spreads like wildfire isn't that Darcy bass's daughter yeah that's what I that is how
liby's mother Darcy bass heard the news when a friend called to say that Livy had been shot you didn't know if she was
dead or alive no I going to be my child and the next time I yeah I saw her she was in in a
cast K I don't believe it I don't believe it oh my [Music] God by all accounts Libby Lewis was a
remarkable young woman a straight A student and recent High School grad with a scholarship to a local college so I'm
liby Heather Lewis just imagining my future and the goals that I will accomplish makes me excited her dream
was to go on to college become a nurse and then become a physician's assistant Livy was already a certified nursing
assistant at a local nursing home she was loved by all the residents there that's a tough job too yes and she loved
it that was her passion that's also where she met one of her best friends fellow nursing assistant Taylor Barnett
we worked together and then she just started staying with me all the time Taylor was nearly 6 years older and had
a young daughter but she says Livy fit right in have you seen Livy you seen me we just clicked like automatically
Bailey Williams met Livy in kindergarten she was a person that wanted stability and didn't want to play like the kid
games she was ready to be grown up that's probably why Livy fell for an older man Matthew Edgar who was 23 when
they met but I was dating a guy who was actually friends with Matthew so we all just kind of started hanging
out Livy was still a senior in high school when she and Matthew began a secret relationship Matthew was married
to Montana bokel the mother of his two young Sons phone records indicate that liby
and Matthew began texting each other in November 2019 when Matthew wrote you do realize you cannot say a word to anybody
that we are even texting lol Libby responded well obviously I'm not going to brag about texting a married man but
thanks for the clarification it appears that after a very brief affair Livy quickly and
firmly ended things but Matthew wasn't done about 4 months later he texted to complain about
how unhappy he was in his marriage I cheated again he said but Livy held her ground I'm not really down for being a
home wrecker she wrote nearly 2 months later Matthew ended his marriage in this tax exchange with his wife where he said
ain't you it's me me always cheating on you 4 days later Montana hired a divorce
attorney Matthew moved out and circled back to Livy at just 18 Livy was now navigating
a relationship with the man who had two young sons and assumed to be ex-wife at first they didn't get along Livy and
Montana didn't uh I think that was out of Jealousy on Montana's behalf and then it was kind of just like the flip of a
switch all of a sudden Montana wanted to be Livy's best friend and they talked all the time I think in Livy's eyes she
was definitely thinking she had a friend and in Montana's eyes what do you think
I think that she was jealous I think that some people get close to people and they
have another reasoning behind it and so do you think in some ways a a dangerous love triangle had formed yes definitely
a dangerous love triangle yes you can call it that absolutely Sabine County Sheriff's investigator JP McDon
questioned Matthew about his relationship with Montana and Livy what's your relationship like with both
of them it's awesome okay so it's not a typical your hell no okay was awesome okay my exwife
and her they big buddies I just told liby to just be cautious you can get along with her for their children but
don't be too close with her I mean because that's his ex-wife but Taylor says that as time went by it was
Matthew's behavior that became the most menacing he was pretty much abusive in more ways than one for a little while he
was staying at my house with her and he would just get drunk and crazy and either holler at her and like it got so
bad that like I didn't want him there at my house anymore phone records show that
the relationship was a roller coaster ride while at times Matthew sent texts to Livy like good night baby I love you
Livy's texts alleged physical abuse I don't know why you keep putting your hands on me like that my body hurt
today I think that she was in love with who Matthew could be cuz she knew who he
was and knew that what he was doing to her wasn't right but she still stayed Livy had been planning on moving
to her new college campus but in the summer of 2020 she stayed on that roller coaster ride agreeing to move in with
Matthew and helped take care of him and his sons she even redecorated the boy room baseball one a football one a
soccer ball whatever but things seem to have quickly turned ugly in August of 2020 Livy writes to Matthew I want to be
in our home with you but I can't do the way you act when you drink I'm scared of
you you've laid your hands on me multiple times I deserve better than that had she told you at that time that
no she been violent no she didn't tell me that probably figured that I would go do something crazy and she didn't want
me probably get in trouble Livy did tell her cousin Sydney ebar what was going on
she sent you a disturbing photograph yes evidence of physical abuse correct yes sir and do you have that photo I do can
you show it to me yes sir he busted her nose it's not clear what caused the ation but texts would
later show that Matthew was cheating on liby with of all people Montana on October 4th 2020 Livy's birthday Matthew
texted Montana I didn't cheat on Livy with multiple women just you LOL he was continuing relationship on with his
ex-wife and had my daughter in the middle of it not knowing that she was being manipulated by all of them I was
in abusive relationship so I just said Livy you know it gets worse and she said I know and I said okay I love you Livy
broke up with Matthew but in a small town like hemp Hill you can run but you can't really
hide in the early morning hours of Halloween 2020 Matthew and Livy would end up together
again on the side of this road [Music] the morning Livy Lewis was killed on the side of the road her ex-boyfriend
Matthew Edgar found himself in a hospital bed claiming he had no idea how he got there I had no
clue despite the blood on his face Matthew wasn't injured but he did admit to Sheriff's investigator JP McDonna
that he'd been drinking how much bottle Jim Bean Jim Bean anything else few beers earlier in the day he
said he'd been at a party the night before at his friend Bobby ozan's house that's when he claims he last Saw living
she heard my was okay oh so you left Bobby's went to your house went home was at my house
and that's where Matthew claims he blacked out and simply can't explain how he ended up in a fetal position between
a black truck that wasn't his and Livy's car you don't know how you ended up on the ground behind the
car with the dead girl at got it McDonna took swabs of the blood on Matthew's face for DNA testing
all right Matthew I'm going to do this one on the chin and Matthew 's clothing was taken into evidence I'm going to go
through some of your clothes okay yes sir then McDonna placed Matthew under arrest charge is going to be
homicide all right now pay attention to me I want you to understand why okay yes sir
okay you were found behind the vehicle where the decedent was there was some kind of relationship between you and her
there is a weapon laying on the ground behind the vehicle close to where you were found
okay based on that and a few other things I'm going to place you in custody right now for homicide okay what's his
reaction to that he had none but he didn't say you're going to do what I didn't do anything nothing at all
nothing at all with Matthew jailed McDonna was on a legal deadline according to Texas law
the District Attorney's office now had 90 days to present enough evidence to a grand jury to indict Matthew or they
would have to release him on bond so McDon Enlisted the help of the Texas Rangers and began piecing together what
happened to Livy Matthew was just an easy arrest sha Dunn is an old friend of Matthews he
told me hey look you know I didn't do this yes I was there at the scene but I you know I didn't I did not do this I
loved her sea a former Texas oil and gasman once employed a then 20-year-old Matthew as a supervisor on his pipeline
I know Matthew uh I spent a lot of time with him he was a hard worker you know he loved his family he valued his
friendship uh with people Shawn was also once a deputy sheriff and says in his personal and professional opinion
Matthew is innocent when you're in law enforcement and and you set across the table from somebody that has taken
someone's life as a coldblooded killer there's a certain feel that you get from that person I never seen him reach that
point Sean believes Matthew when he says he has no memory of what happened the cause of death for that girl is not
natural and thinks this moment did they tell you a name liby was very real I believe that was that was genuine that
that was the first time that he knew that she was deceased which raises the obvious
question if Matthew Edgar did not kill Livy who did all that's kind of still up in the air in my opinion there's plenty
of other people that could be involved in this sea won't name names but Matthew and his mother Cindy have insinuated
that someone else killed Livy Montana listen to this recorded jail house house call but I'm saying Matthew if it turns
out that Montana did this I don't want to talk about it please I mean it's not going to make you want to hurt her
because she killed the woman you loveed are you I don't know Sheriff's investigator JP McDon says Montana's
unusual friendship with Libby did get his attention my husband left me for this woman but she's my best friend you
know I I I have to question that as an investigator this is one of the last photos ever taken of liby she is with
Montana and they are at that party Matthew told investigators about at Bobby ozan's place I'm going to say
there's probably about 20 people there including Matthew and Montana's Sons Bobby told investigators Matthew spent
the night watching Livy and Montana party with everyone but him he would try to come over there and talk to him and
they just really wouldn't say much to him they just ignoring investigators learned that liby
had broken up with Matthew just weeks earlier and he had taken up with another young woman in town I am trying to find
out her relationship with Matthew Edgar they were having sex just I met him that
Monday and we saw each other every day so you just KN yeah but it was clear to Bobby that Matthew wasn't over Livy he
was just hurt and then now she don't want nothing to do with him no more she's going on with her life just like
you don't exist anymore Bobby says Matthew was stewing at the party he just wasn't he's on edge just dranking beer
and drinking heavily yes sir yeah and the more he drank the angrier he got exactly what do you think of Matthew
Edgar's story chat now with the 48 Hours team on Facebook and X [Music] as the Party At Bobby ozan's was winding
down Matthew Edgar says he called it a night oh so you left Bobby's went to your house went home my house that's
where Matthew's memory goes blank but his ex-wife Montana bokel remembers much more the day is hot October the 31st in
this audio recording Montana told investigators Matthew suddenly came back to the party and learned that Livy had
decided to stay overnight at Bobby's you think he heard Livy say she going to stay the night oh I know he heard her
cuz that's what made him so mad during the course of the investigation and during my interviews
with family and friends and Matthew had intended to ask Miss Lewis to marry him that's how significant he felt about
Miss Miss Lewis to hear her back at the house say that I'm going to stay with Bobby was just meaning sleep with Bobby
correct that was too much it was just too much according to Montana Matthew was so angry he even took it out on her
he tried to choke me and then that's when I went and got Bobby so I went outside and he had kicked all the doors
in on a car and was punching on the window at one point Bobby had to pin Matthew again against the car in order
for the girls to be able to leave the whole time I'm holding him he's screaming top of his lungs I'm going to
kill y'all I'm going to kill y'all Montana says she and Libby left in separate cars in search of safety
Montana says she headed toward the home where Matthew's mother and grandparents lived and that's where Matthew caught up
with her he pulled in behind me I went to get out and he turned toing me again their children were in the back seat of
Matthew's van and I was hking the horn so somebody would come outside in all the racket Montana says Matthew left and
headed for his own home a short distance away on the same property a shaken Montana says she asked to stay the night
with Matthew's mother and grandparents and then began texting with Matthew I have message what does he say you took
part in it and you are guilty as she is wrote Matthew as he angrily accused Montana of playing a part in Livy's
decision to spend the night with Bobby ozan those texts would become damning evidence in the case against Matthew
Edgar he said you knew what was going on a decision that appears to have enraged
him he said I will take your life her life and his life mark my words at 3:22 a.m. Matthew texts I'm leaving better
get here and get your kids McDonna says evidence shows that a drunk and angry Matthew then got behind the wheel of his
truck where he kept his rifle and went hunting for Livy I think she pulled over to talk to him and I'll tell you why she
was just sitting there with her legs crossed indicates to me she was not afraid it was not a fight or flight
thing where she was prepared to just bolt out the car she was actually to some degree comfortable with who she was
speaking with 12 minutes after texting I'm leaving Matthew texted I'm home I got Livy's
keys and her phone Montana asked where is she Matthew's response dead Montana told investigators she didn't call 911
because she didn't believe he was serious instead Montana texted Matthew can I come down there his reply yeah but
Montana claims that Matthew's mother wouldn't let her leave so she just fell asleep I never left I
didn't even know anything had happened until I woke up at around 6:00 this morning but Matthew didn't go to bed
McDonna says evidence shows that not long after sending that text that liby was dead Matthew did something no one
can explain he went back to the crime scene this time in his cousin Zach's truck it's that truck that was found
parked be behind Livy's car why would he go back then why would he return to the
scene of the crime that would be a question you'd have to ask Matthew I I can't explain that also hard to explain
Montana's failure to call 911 it made no sense to Livy's friend Bailey she knew who he was and what type
of person he was and then she was receiving all those texts I don't think that you can just take that with a grain
of salt after you received those text messages yeah it's time to to call police right
McDon says he and his team of investigators wondered if Montana had been to the crime scene that morning to
try and help Matthew cover up liby's murder I know you don't believe me but I can't tell you stuff that I don't know
happened two months after the crime Montana was given a polygraph exam are you covering for the person responsible
for Li's death after monitoring her physiological responses Montana was told she failed the polygraph there's no
doubt that you left something out there something you're not telling me but after an indepth multi- agency
investigation investigators concluded that Montana was never at the crime scene and had nothing to do with Livy
shooting or any cover up and so to all those who think somehow she's involved you say not true not true at all all the
evidence says McDon points to one person Matthew Edgar is there a motive in your
mind jealousy jealousy plain and simple in February 2021 the covid pandemic shut
down the courts and this case with no grand juries being convened a judge was forced by law to release a still
unindicted Matthew Edgar on a reasonable Bond $50,000 for them to set it so low was
insane to me months after Matthew's release Darcy was at her local convenience store when
Matthew just strolled in when he came in the door I just went started throwing whatever at him and went for him and I
just remember saying You Killed My Daughter you killed my daughter and that's Matthew pressed charges against
Darcy and she was arrested the charges would eventually be dropped but Darcy says she just wanted some answers she
loved you and she was good to you and your kids and to your family what made you think that this was the answer to
anything that was going on on March 16th 2021 4 and A2 months after his arrest charge is going to be homicide a grand
jury finally heard the evidence against Matthew Edgar and indicted him for the murder of Livy Lewis but Matthew who was
still out on bail wasn't done breaking the law and tormenting Livy's family I just was like are you are you
serious as January 2022 and the trial of Matthew Edgar approached Darcy bass was
confident that the evidence in the murder of her daughter liby would finally proved that Matthew had killed
her what in this case struck you as the most powerful evidence against Matthew Edgar from him saying that he was going
to kill them her till him being at the scene to it being his gun then there were all those venomous texts between
Matthew and Montana that Taylor and Bailey say ended with a clear confession when he text and said she's dead cuz Who
would know that except accept the person who did it and remember that text that read I got Livy's keys and her phone
well Livy's phone was found in the truck Matthew had driven to the crime scene her keys were found on the driveway at
his grandparents house and reluctantly handed over to investigators by Matthew's mother Cindy Hogan is it true
in your opinion that she tried to keep Livy's keys from investigators that was the indication since Hogan also tried to
help her son by suggesting that Livy had been killed by a drug cartel because Matthew owed them money and that the
cartel hadn't killed Levy and staged it to make it look like Matthew did it because they were out $330,000 what do
you think of that theory uh I think it's a far-fetched fairy tale it was so far-fetched it was
just a crazy story to try to distract people from the truth on Monday January 24th 2022 the trial of Matthew Edgar
began with jury selection Matthew who was still out on bond walked in and out of court every day like a free man due
to the nature of the of the crime and the emotion throughout the county we had security Arrangements in place for trial
we even had Matthew wearing a bulletproof vest on the first day of testimony the state began presenting its
case which included DNA lab results that detected a tiny Speck of Livy's Blood on
the pants Matthew was wearing when he was found at the crime scene how important is that piece of evidence it's
critical it puts him there at the time that that injury caused her death but Matthew's courta appointed defense
attorney Rob Hughes argued that a tiny drop of blood doesn't prove a thing how else could that Speck have gotten on his
pant leg if not not coming from blood spatter from the shooting you can get DNA transferred from just touching
someone Hugh says there's no telling how long that blood had been there and all that blood on Matthew's face that
McDonna swabbed and had tested it wasn't Livy or Matthews and once they were excluded investigators didn't pursue
other matches Hugh says there were additional DNA tests that also raised questions about who else may have been
at the crime scene there were other people's DNA on Matthew and Livy was excluded as a contributor to those DNA
samples Hughes tried his best to argue that the DNA should be considered Reasonable Doubt but admits that his
biggest obstacle in defending Matthew were those texts and Matthew's insistence that he has no memory of
sending them in your entire career as a defense attorney have you ever had a client who was functioning during the
course of a crime texting conversing with people driving an automobile who then said they had no memory whatsoever
of the events I have not and you understand why that would be hard for people to believe yes Hughes also
asserted that the murder weapon had not been tested for fingerprints or DNA but conceded the rifle belonged to
Matthew after a second day of testimony the prosecutor notified Hughes that he would be resting his case the next
morning and it would then be hughes's turn to call witnesses sha Dunn says that he had been Snapchatting with
Matthew who was feeling optimistic about his chances he was so confident that he
was going to need a job and asked me would I find him a spot to go to work but the next morning as Rob Hughes
arrived at the courthouse he got a panicked call from mat 's mother who told him her son was now a fugitive she
just started frantically telling me that Matthew was gone Matthew had run and he
had taken a gun with him she was afraid he was going to kill himself are you serious like he's he's gone he shouldn't
even been out on bond then he had an ankle monitor on what happened with that authorities say Matthew had simply
waited for the battery on his ankle monitor to die and then left home most likely on foot we started getting assets
from all over lkin PD SWAT DPS Texas Rangers we even had tracking dog from from the prison unit they followed a
trail through the woods roughly two miles meanwhile Matthew's trial went on without him that very same day defense
attorney Rob Hughes began presenting his case the jury was not told that Matthew
had fled but they must have wondered so a case that's already very difficult for
you has now become I'll use the word impossible it it made it much it didn't help that's for sure no one was
surprised when after deliberating for about an hour and a half the jury found Matthew Edgar guilty of murder but he
was still on the loose out there somewhere an armed threat to himself and the community I mean I think that it was
like a scary time because it's him he knows where everybody lives at that was terrible crazy time for me knowing that
he's out there supposedly loved my daughter but murdered her and me the one that's actively trying to make sure that
he goes to jail what would he have done to me Darcy says it felt like no one was
searching for Matthew so she became a mother on a mission and hung this homemade wanted poster all over town but
she wasn't alone JP McDon had been joined by Jeff Coulter a special Deputy with the Eastern District US Marshall
service and they were on the hunt for Matthew do you consider him right off the bat to be a dangerous fugitive oh
absolutely from what I was told from the murder the crime scene yes no doubt see a timeline of the night of the
murder at 48 [Music] hours.com they her car was right here before the sign this is the very spot
where 19-year-old Livy Lewis was murdered now a memorial lovingly tended to by her mother
Darcy I just want everyone to remember what happened here what Livy had to go through it's also a place that Darcy is
convinced Matthew Edgar visited after becoming a fugitive I just felt it as a mother I was like he's coming here he's
not far Darcy says she also heard rumors that Matthew's mother had been spotted buying her son's favorite cigarettes and
liquor in large quantities where is she taking them to one week after Matthew ran from the law Jeff Colter a special
Deputy with the US Marshals was asked to take over the manh hunt when you first begin your investigation do you start
with his family to see if they've heard anything no no I don't like being led to
I've already heard their stories claiming she was killed by the cartel so no I didn't even waste my time couter
says he quietly spent nearly a year working with the Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies around
the country to chase down every lead that came their way we had put in a lot of hours a lot of weekends a lot of late
nights then a tip that Matthew might actually be hiding in plain sight just yards from his grandparents property in
this house it looked great it sounded great but we physically have to put eyes on him
before we make a move on his residence the house which belonged to a family friend was surrounded by woodlands so
Coulter Enlisted the aid of two wardens with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department the plan to get as close as
possible under the cloak of Darkness using night vision to ID their man we were going to enter into the woods make
our way up to the back of the property get as close as we could and sit there and see if we could get a visual of him
while couter l a team of three men into the woods JP McDon and his deputies were
on the opposite side of the house near the driveway but out of sight in their vehicles my job was to sit right there
at the front door of that house if Coulter and his men made a positive ID on Matthew they would finally have him
cornered we went in about 4:30 in the afternoon we knew it was going to get dark about 5:30 we got to probably about
100 yards of the house and we heard barking um coming to find out they had a pretty good sized right Waller in the
backyard then we're out there for an hour or so we could hear voices we could hear female voice we could hear male
voice but it's so thick we can't see then we catch a violent thunderstorm lightning and thunder and
torrential rain it was miserable but it was a blessing in disguise and the noise
covered our movement they were 30 yard from the house when when a second storm hit but there was no giving up that's 11
months and 2 days this needed to end tonight drenched and exhausted Coulter and his team could hear voices on the
back porch of the house but couldn't see faces until about 8:00 p.m. when a man stepped off the porch walks around the
side of the house and he stands there one of coulter's men immediately recognized that man as Matthew Edgar he
goes he's here I got eyes on him we got word that they had made a confirmation drove down pulled in the driveway back
of back back watch the front I got I got movement they're in the house once we saw the lights it was a 30 yard Sprint
all four of us we break the corner and we started screaming law enforcement police sh office anybody inside come out
your hands up he jumps up and he throws himself against the wall like oh crap you got me yeah it was over with did you
guys make eye contact absolutely he said hey JP I said hey Matthew and then he asked me you hadn't proven
my innocence yet and I said no Matthew I have not Coulter says that's not all Matthew
had to say that night he said please don't shoot my mother mother please come out of the house his mother is in the
house his mother's at the house was she crying was she upset no I think she acted amazed that he was there like she
didn't know what was going on really yes surprised he was there I'm going to jail for something I don't even
know nothing about was she arrested as well not at the time she was not can somebody get my pish with my seizure
medicine Cindy Hogan was eventually charged with hindering apprehension we reached out to her attorney for comment
but did not hear back on January 3rd 2023 Matthew Edgar was formally sentenced for the murder of Livy Lewis
99 years in prison with the possibility of parole after serving 30 years does it give you I don't know what
the word is not any peace but in prison he will likely suffer for decades can only hope but he doesn't suffer
[Music] like like her brother he doesn't suffer like her little sister Darcy hopes to be there when
Matthew comes up for parole and tailor and Bailey say she won't be alone and I don't care however he says that he
changes while he's in there I don't think that that's something you can ever come back from because she's definitely
not coming back meanwhile Darcy is trying to save up enough money to buy a headstone for liby's grave how do you
carry on and honor your daughter's memory I just got to get up every morning and just just remember the good
things and I want to make her proud I don't want her her to be remembered as the girl that got killed
in the small town I want her to be remembered for the way that she carried herself and the happy person that she
was to be [Music] around CBS next Saturday what is your emergency I accidentally shot my wife a
