TX TX - Heidi Broussard, 33, Fnd Deceased, & Margo Carey, 2 weeks, Fnd Alive, Austin, 12 Dec 2019 #9

[Trudie]

it said the call to the home originated from a request to do a 'welfare check' at the home. It says a 'volunteer fire department' responded to the call - somehow from there, police became involved. ???

imo everything depends on which article we read. (This article says baby found around 11pm)

Autopsy confirms missing Texas mom Heidi Broussard was strangled

According to NBC News, Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department public information officer Lt. Daniel Arizpe confirmed a 1-month-old infant was found safe at the home just before 11 p.m., but the child’s identity has not been released.
Arizpe said a call from Child Protective Services for a welfare check at the address prompted the investigative activity. The child, who was transported to a local hospital, had no obvious injuries, the network reported.

I don’t think the drawstring was used, personally. I’ve actually had to use one to repair a head stall on a bridle before, it didn’t last as long as it took to rig it. Jmo

I agree and if the draw string came from the red hoodie she wouldn't still be wearing it in the mug shot. It would be evidence. jmo

Not that it's a big deal, but that's a covered porch, not the garage.

Thanks! Your are right, and I am wrong. Sorry for that folks, my error.

Gardenista has it correct.

She was being interviewed by the car in the backyard, not the garage. I missed that totally and thanks for the heads up/correction!!!

EGADS, with a body in it with perhaps the baby by her feet. *shivers* that they did the interview there. That, is some type of chit for an interview scenario! All the while claiming that the baby is hers while her body is in the car less than 10 feet away? WTF!

Again, thanks Gardenista. You say not a big deal, but yet HUGE imho. That's unbelievable they were right next to the car. Not even in the front garage on the other side of the damn fence. *shivers*



ETA: Really with @grayhuze was on this

ETA: Did she have any idea of all the commotion during that backyard interview that the folks in the front yard existed. I think not! (expect for a helicopter!)

In the last press conference Detectve Herries gave a timeline of events:

*"This current week a lead was generated" that created an interest in the Houston area - *12/19 Federal, State, and local rsources deployed to that area and began to investigate a residence there.
*An individual was encountered outside of that residence who was detained - attached (via Dixiegirl) appears to be MF on her covered patio speaking to LE
View attachment 222841
*As the evening progressed a search warrant was signed and issued for both vehicle(s) and the residence. Sort of confusing the way he states "both vehicles".
*"During that search we located a baby"
*As search continued they located a female they believed to be Heidi
*One person was arrested and charged with 2 counts of kidnapping and 1 count tampering

Edited to add a photo of the back of the house where MF was sitting (via Gardenista)

You guys are right! That is the back of the house under a verandah/covered deck area, and not the garage... so the silver/grey vehicle shown right in front of them therefore must be MF's vehicle, in which LE later found HB's body???? Can you imagine sitting there with the cops, with the vehicle right THERE, KNOWING what is inside???? o.m.g.

ETA: Sorry Dixiegirl, I was writing this as you were posting above, and I share your shock. Unbelievable!

 

[kittythehare]

I was looking a bit earlier for where it said that MF had claimed the baby in her home was her own baby... and I ran across an article where, for the first time I had read it, but perhaps others already knew this(?) - it said the call to the home originated from a request to do a 'welfare check' at the home. It says a 'volunteer fire department' responded to the call - somehow from there, police became involved. ???

So depending on what the circumstances of the 'welfare check' were (ie was it because someone heard an infant crying incessantly? Because MF was not responding to peoples' phonecalls/texts? Because neighbors heard yelling? Because a neighbor heard a baby crying over a long period of time and knew that MF did not have a baby??, etc.) Personally I cannot imagine that police would not have entered the home if they had any knowledge of a baby being in any kind of distress, or any suspicion of HB's baby being there, even without a warrant. (I know that here they are allowed to enter without a warrant if police believe a life is in imminent danger, surely it is the same in the USA?)

If they had MF in the garage for hours, and meanwhile that poor infant was alone in the home, surely she would have cried at some point during those hours, which also would have undoubtedly prompted police to go in to check?

Broussard and her three-week-old baby disappeared on Dec. 12, last seen in South Austin. More than a week later, a volunteer fire department responded to a Houston-area home for a welfare check.

In the garage photo posted upthread from inside edition, I'm pretty sure it shows MF smoking a cigarette. I believe the thing in front of her, are her own legs. Also note the garage has Christmas lights. All set for baby's first Christmas!

Well , they were searching for a baby, they would have busted right in. I reckon they had doorbell cctv footage before they got there and probably quite a bit more knowledge of the perp and the circumstances too. They would have known she lied to them. Most likely they knew Heidi and baby traveled in her car to somewhere. It's quite possible they had been watching her house for some time before they made the raid.
I wonder what led them to the vehicle and whether it was the first or last thing they searched?
They stated earlier on that they believed mother and baby to be alive.
Is it possible they considered that H had possibly some post natal depression and decided to go to be with her alleged best friend to spend some time? Something as innocent as that?
That she may have gone more than willingly, trustingly..
It's possible that was the reason that Shane heard the grim news of her discovery on TV rather than in person from a member of LE?
Every question that arises involves a trawl of heavy mud, feels like.

LE could do nothing but bide their time (and MF’s) until they had SW evidently.
Is it possible MF explained to the TX Ranger watching over her that her newborn was inside & shortly after photo was snapped they went in? Moo

At the time when officials first received the 'welfare check' request, they may have had no idea that it involved HB or her baby, or a kidnapping, or a murder, or any risk at all.. otherwise, they would've sent police and not 'volunteer firefighters', imho. It seems like this whole thing must have unfolded right while this 'welfare check' was being done, and it just kept going from there?

 

[dixiegirl1035]

So she strangled her with the drawstring, then put the drawstring back into her hoodie? I don't know about you, but whenever I've tried to reinsert a drawstring, it's been a time-consuming and swearing-inducing job. I'm going to guess she used something else.

She has two hoodies layered in her booking photo and on the back porch. The red one doesn't have a string in it. MOO

 

[deugirtni]

So....... seems police are interviewing the suspect mere feet away from where she is harboring a dead body that presumably she also murdered.. at some point hoards of police are all over her property and street, on her driveway, etc.. so... while police were interviewing MF, was the smell of decomp obvious??? Is that how things got rolling??

 

[Trudie]

yea and she also had it on in court for her vehicular violations. Idk why the jail didn’t supply a uniform/jumpsuit. Moo. Perhaps they made her change before court so she could transfer.

[Trudie]

Shane’s friend MQ said LE questioned SC about MF during second interview with SC. So I assume they knew HB had left with her, maybe they could not find MF. We don’t know that she went straight to her Houston home. Maybe she had a hotel room for a day or two. Who knows. Also, some video had choppers flying over MFs residence.

What struck me is your screen shot showing 175,000 views! Whoa, this is a case where all of the media outlets and movie makers are on it due to numbers of interest.

They wouldn't have risked MF harming herself and/or the baby, imo. I was under the impression CPS had removed the baby earlier, but if it was after dark maybe CPS people were with her?

Do you think the ligature was still around HB's neck when she was found?

Early on, there was a reporter doing a FB live who said he had a source that said there was a smell. Can't remember who the reporter was--young guy, close cropped hair. I'm going to go back and try to find it.

 

[deugirtni]

From the 'back deck' photos posted above, it sure looks like MF was calm and relaxed, with her legs casually stretched out in front of her. How on earth would one maintain their composure, sitting there, so CLOSE to the vehicle that she had to have known contained a dead/murdered body?? People never cease to amaze me!

 

[dixiegirl1035]

How wonderful it would be if MSM didn't use those hyperbolic defenses as headlines and click bait on social media.

It's always interesting in a high profile case which media outlets are kids gloves as to info and/or interviews. Those perhaps are ones which want their parent company to do a movie/2 hour special so don't throw hardballs anymore? Will be interesting as I always try to find in each high profile case which media outlet is continuing to be unbiased.

Even the media outlets that have these photos of her on the back porch don't point it out, why? It's major information that has taken a while to get even here.

MOO
