The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) added fugitives to the Texas 10 Most Wanted lists.

Matthew Hoy Edgar, 26, of Hemphill, has been wanted since January 2022, when the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for his arrest after the accused absconded from a 2020 murder trial a couple days into the proceeding. Edgar was convicted of the murder in absentia and is added to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Fugitives List. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to Edgar’s arrest.

Edgar is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds, and has known ties to Sabine County.

Sergio Corona, 56, of Coldspring, has been wanted since July 2021, when the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for his arrest for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements. In December 2021, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida issued a warrant for his arrest for a probation violation.

In 1989, Corona was convicted of indecent exposure and sentenced to six months of probation in Texas. In 2002, he was convicted in Florida of sexual battery of a victim under 12. After serving time in prison, he was also sentenced to 10 years of probation. In 2016, he relocated back to Texas.

Corona is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds. In addition to Coldspring, he has ties to Florida and Tennessee. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $3,000 for information leading to Corona’s arrest.
