January 3, 2023 Happy New Year! Sabine County closed out 2022 on a positive note with the arrest of Matthew Edgar after a months long manhunt. It’s time for this sad episode to be wrapped up, not only with the convicted being incarcerated, but with the prosecution of those who have been assisting Edgar as he ran and hid.

Miss Zwolle Tamale Fiesta Kaydee Meshell of Zwolle was chosen along with 21 other queens of Louisiana to grace the Louisiana Travel Riverboat themed float at the New Year’s 2023 Rose Parade, held in Pasadena, California. This year’s theme was “Turning the Corner,” chosen to celebrate the unlimited potential that each new year brings.

Happy New Year to all of you! We certainly hope that you had a fun, safe, holiday season, filled with family and friends. Now it’s time to calm down, get back to work, back to school, back to whatever passes for normal in your world. Let’s get 2023 off to a quick start with some interesting days in January.

On Thursday, December 29, 2022 at or about 8:30pm, the United States Marshal’s Service, the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Parks Wildlife Game Wardens and representatives from the District Attorney’s Office for the First Judicial District of Texas arrested Matthew Hoy Edgar on his outstanding warrant for the murder of Livye Heathyr Lewis. Edgar, during his trail, for Lewis’ murder, in January of 2022 had voluntarily not returned for the remainder of the proceedings. The court issued an arrest warrant for Edgar which launched an investigation by the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Marshal’s Office. Both the Sheriff’s Office and Marshal Service have tirelessly followed up on leads provided by citizens and other law enforcement agencies. These leads encompassed Texas, Louisiana, Florida and several other states.
