The Murder of Livye Lewis & the Manhunt for Matthew Edgar | 11 Months on the Run

In October 2020, 19-year-old Livye Lewis was found shot to death in her car on the side of a quiet Texas road. Her ex, Matthew Edgar, was arrested and charged with her murder. But when his trial began nearly two years later… he disappeared.
This video covers Livye’s story — who she was, the red flags in her relationship, what happened the night she died, and the 11-month manhunt that followed after Matthew Edgar fled mid-trial.
We’ll also walk through the investigation, the forensic evidence, the trial that continued without him, and the strength of Livye’s family as they pursued justice.
💛 Livye’s family hopes her story can help others recognize the signs of abuse and get out before it’s too late. If you or someone you know is in a dangerous relationship, help is available.
