Affidavit: Kidnap suspect pretended dead mom’s baby was hers
AUSTIN, Texas — A woman accused of kidnapping a Texas mother who was later found dead hatched an elaborate scheme to present the victim’s baby girl as her own, according to court records.
Last month, investigators found the infant, Margot Carey, along with the body of her mother, Heidi Broussard, at a home in the Houston area. They had been reported missing a week earlier in their hometown of Austin.
An arrest affidavit unsealed Monday says Magen Fieramusca, 33, abducted Broussard on Dec. 12 and packed her into a black duffel. Broussard’s body was later found in the trunk of Fieramusca’s car, according to the affidavit.
No one has been charged in Broussard’s killing. Police say they are still investigating.
