Another mother of a new born murdered

Looks like her so called best friend really planned this out down to the date of her baby shower. The three week old baby was found with the 'best friend'. I'll never understand women who murder women and steal their babies.

One person has been charged in connection with the disappearance of Austin mother Heidi Broussard and her newborn after a body believed to be the woman's was found Thursday at a home, according to police and her family.

A healthy baby was also found at the Houston residence, Austin police said Friday. The infant is in the care of Texas' Child Protective Services, and DNA testing is underway to confirm the baby was Broussard's 3-week-old, Margot.

Detective Brad Herries told reporters Friday afternoon the infant's looks are "consistent" with those of Margot. "The baby seems to be in very good health," FBI Agent Christopher Combs added.

The missing woman's mother, Tammy Broussard, said early Friday that police told her the body found in Harris County is likely that of her daughter, who has been missing since Dec. 12. Tammy Broussard said the body was found in a car trunk.

Megan Fieramusca, also known as Maygen Humphrey, is a friend of Heidi Broussard who's been charged with two counts of kidnapping and one count of tampering with a corpse, according to court records.

She's only been charged with tampering with a corpse. I find that strange.

He was being interviewed, avoiding eye contact, while pleading for her return

Never saw this twist coming...

They could both be involved - next we'll hear they were having an affair

they never figure out the HOW they intend to get away with it

but I confess I watch too much IDTV as it is..

How was she planning to pass the baby off as her child?

of their actions. I think people watch way too many movies - it's either that or they are completely stupid.

She could have died from complications while giving birth, or soon thereafter. The baby is only 3 weeks old.

but you're right, abducting a woman that close to giving birth could lead to all kinds of complications.

There are some sick people in the world.

She gave birth in the hospital. The police released this picture of the baby while she was still missing.
