TX TX - Heidi Broussard, 33, & Margo Carey, 2 weeks, Austin, 12 Dec 2019 #5

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

Trying to lay low for awhile maybe

I cannot believe what I’m reading right now.

I mean, this is the stuff nightmares are made of. So outlandish no one wanted to give the general theory an absorbent amount of credit! We will be referencing this one for a long time to come....IMO.

For sure. Baby snatching was on my list at first but after awhile you all know it was pretty low on my list. And the way it was apparently done is even more unusual. She was already born. Mother was killed and not even on site. She may have been actually taken.

I wonder how that person or persons did it. And I will certainly add SC’s bizarre interviews to my internal true crime library for reference in future cases. No doubt.

I wonder how soon LE figured it out.

I'd just like to ask though, what would have been "normal" behavior?

Let it go.

This article has the wrong day in it- the 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.

Agreed. Looks like the article has since been corrected. I've updated the post with the update.

I expect there will be a PC tomorrow. It will be very difficult to listen to it.

We don't know if a body was recovered from the car. Media only said that LE seemed to be concentrating on it. Probably because that's all they could see from the helicopter view.

The body could have been found anywhere on the property as far as we know. JMO

I was thinking maybe CPS were called because Margo was crying so inconsolably that some neighbor called in a complaint. I like your ideas better though.

Good luck getting them to respond that quickly unless it's life or death. They had to have been tipped off somehow, IMO

 

[Poedelini]

It really hits me hard. So so so sad for Heidi, but so happy that baby margo is still alive.

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

Our source was not Maygen Humphry.

They had to drive 2 hours, maybe more with Austin traffic - I am trying to imagine how that would look - where would she be?

 

[gitana1]

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.

I never would’ve imagined. Never. You always think of a semi-stranger being the one to do something like this.
It’s weird. So looking to see who in the missing mom’s life was pregnant and due near the time the missing mom gave birth should be part of any future investigation.

Think how evil that had to be. I mean she had to be planning this for a while. “Oh! She pregnant! Now I can plan.”
“Oh guess what! I’m pregnant too!”

Shudder.

 

[Silentob52]

Yeah, that’s the game changer.

If this lady did give birth herself as well, then I don’t even know what I’d call that.

But either way, I never seriously considered this, and won’t seriously consider it in the future. I certainly won’t forget about it though.

Thank you. MOO

Im not going to quote y'all and make more work for mods...but crap, take your personal issues somewhere else.

 

[Msskeptic]

It just seems like if you've gone to the trouble to construct an elaborate ruse to steel your best friends baby, you're not going to get caught with a body at your house.

I am wondering if the suspect acted alone, and maybe there was no partner involved at all. Maybe this was a case of someone trying to trap a boyfriend into staying in a relationship? So he wouldn't have had knowledge of this crime. I imagine it would be difficult for a lone woman to dispose of a body, while caring for a baby, in a big city like Houston.

 

[Steelslady]

Well listen. Even her friends were looking at him. So...

But as much as the possibility for me that the disappearances were related to “someone” close to home was highest in the end, on my list, if the baby was indeed found at someone else’s house as it appears and that person also had Heid’s body and had been pretending to be pregnant or something, SC as possibly involved would leave my list all together.

It would make no sense for him to be involved. If it’s a crazy baby snatching case there would be no reason for the intense snatcher to communicate their desire with someone close and to Heidi, IMO.

Also, super good instinct @steeltowngirl.
Or was that @Steelslady?

Raises hand, but sadly. I thought SC was innocent all along. I can't say that I blame you all for thinking I was crazy, not suspecting him. I still can't explain it. My heart is breaking for both families.

However there is plenty of open space between Austin and Houston, so I don't know?

This was the case I mentioned. The father had to wait months to bring the baby home. I so hope Texas is different.

That was really upsetting to me. It made no sense that that reunion was so slow. Poor baby.
