Oh that’s right. Because the mother left what, the day before? So this person may have known and possibly felt panicked about having to produce a baby quickly?

Last saw her on Tuesday.

If the person capable of doing something like this goes to the trouble of kidnap & murder then I think knowing the extensive attention on this case would make them suspicious of everything. I cant see police sending a CPS worker into a battle over a baby with a potential killer.

That’s true.

 

[FelicityLemon]

Wouldn't it be ironic if Crime Online, quoting this anonymous source, facilitated an attempted "look over there" attempt by a possible real perp.

Possibly, but I think it's more likely that Heidi's phone records were instrumental in providing a starting point.

 

[gitana1]

Wonder if the woman in that house is married. If so, could the husband have called CPS?

Smart thought.

 

[cedgison]

I hope I don't get a spanking and I really hope that the thread doesn't get shut down tonight with this breaking news!

Happy Birthday Tricia!

I hope not, as well.

And, yes, Happy Birthday, @Tricia!

 

[Steelslady]

It’s insane. So much happened so fast while I was away. Terrifying if it’s what it appears to be. So, so sick.

Actually, gitana, you came at the right time. I saw it elsewhere on social media breaking, and it finally trickled over here about 10 minutes after- just before you came into the thread.

 

[Jethro4WS]

It would be the first I've found after birth.

Yes, a rare situation but it does happen

Cops: Woman lured, killed Ind. mom to abduct infant

 

[gitana1]

Not necessarily. If police were on scene at the time they likely would have turned the baby over to CPS.

Yes. But I thought the baby was removed hours before the police came?

 

[Msskeptic]

Why would they just leave a body in the car? Not much of a plan if that's what they did.

Yep, probably couldn't wait for her mom to go home and I'm guessing but don't know, but Shane must have been home on the Wednesday since Thursday was her first day to go on her own with the kids.

 

[whitelilac]

I had a theory early on that Heidi befriended someone on a new moms forum or some such, and that person was plotting all along to take the baby.
Now we hear this....a FRIEND of Heidi's, someone she KNEW, .....so much worse. A betrayal of the worst kind. I can't process this sort of evil.

Sorry for the double quote. I found one other when we discussing this earlier. But the baby snatcher went to her home and killed her there, leaving the body to be found, and stole the infant. Hispanic victims IIRC.

The added kidnapping of the mom after she already gave birth is the new part.

 

[MemPat]

I suspect mentally ill is going to be the winner on this one. Just ugh. Imo.

If this is true, insanity might not fly since so much critical thinking and knowledge of wrong-doing is involved.

Maybe she just wanted a baby and figured out how to get one.

Drugs, mental illness, laziness; who knows. There’s no shortage of questions that need answers.

 

[susiQ]

So basically, this looks like one of the most bizarre baby snatching crimes we’ve ever seen.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a single case, where a mother was kidnapped with her newborn, taken to another location, and apparently killed.

Atleast not in a way this stunningly brazen, and by someone the mother knew. And I get the feeling we don’t know the half of it yet.

BBM
That's exactly how I am feeling right now. It's just bizarre.

 

[ReadyorNot]

Yes. But I thought the baby was removed hours before the police came?

No, that's conjecture based on the fact that reporters are saying, CPS transported the baby "this afternoon" but also know the police didn't enter the home until some time after 8 pm, (probably waiting on a warrant) and reports didnt start till after 10:30 pm CST.

Numerous law enforcement officials surrounded a home in Houston on Friday, in connection with missing Austin mom Heidi Broussard and her infant daughter, Margo.

ABC 13 reports that authorities conducted a “high profile investigation” at a home off of Bo Jack Drive in NW Harris County. Investigators secured the area with crime scene tape and were specifically concentrating on a Nissan parked in the driveway. The car reportedly belongs to someone that Heidi knows.

At around 8:15 p.m., authorities entered the residence.

Officials removed a body from the home on early Saturday morning. So far, the identity is unknown.

Earlier Friday, a female infant was taken from the home after a Child Protective Services call to the local fire department. According to authorities, the baby was alive with no visible signs of injury.

This article has the wrong day in it- they found the baby on Thursday. They also said they removed a body early Saturday morning- it's Friday. I think the reporter must be tired.

With everyone all over the boyfriend, I would think they thought they had time. IMO.. Of course, leaving a body in the car, especially for that amount of time is just STUPID. IMO

The added kidnapping of the mom after she already gave birth is the new part.

In this case, Heidi knew her though, I don't think she and/or any accomplice would have any other choice but to kill Heidi

This is truly evil. IMO

 

[RANCH]

Yes. But I thought the baby was removed hours before the police came?

I think that it was hours before LE executed a search warrant of the car and property. Not sure why it took so long. JMO
