Lewis says police received numerous calls throughout the day, even from family members, identifying the victim.

"So with all of that information we were able to facilitate -- her turning herself in safely, without incident, and that allows us to bring closure to the family in this case," said Lewis.

Edwards will be arraigned Friday morning in 36th district court.
