You may have heard of the movie called “Driving Miss Daisy” from 1989 starring Morgan Freeman, but did you know that it actually first appeared as a play? Written by American playwright Alfred Uhry, it debuted on the off-broadway stage in 1987.

At 8:05 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 6, Cindy Hogan Edgar, 51, walked into the Sabine County Sheriff’s office and turned herself in. When our office was first tipped off about this happening, I shook my head and went back to work. It was nearly 9:30 a.m. and our internet had been down, so my Monday was already behind. When my reporter, Kenny Wick brought in the arrest report for the week, the first thing I asked was, “Is Cindy Hogan on that record?” His reply, “Nope, I don’t see her.” By now it’s after 10:30 a.m. and I assumed since we had heard nothing officially otherwise, that my source must have been mistaken. After all, it had been ten months since Matthew Edgar had been taken into custody, and although the public was told there was an investigation into anyone helping Edgar and hiding him, no one could get any information other than the Texas Rangers were in charge and all inquiries were forwarded to that agency.
