TX TX - Heidi Broussard, 33, & Margot Carey, 2 weeks, Austin, 12 Dec 2019 #3

[jellybean96]

This is frustrating. In a prior interview SC said he picked his son up from daycare, the son didn't eat his lunch and told SC to grill it for him, then SC called his dad who said not to worry too much, then SC called HB's friends and then he called police.

In that interview he made no mention of the school calling him. Wouldn't that have made SC very worried - learning HB never picked up the son? I don't get it.

Im just saying, if I didn't answer my cell phone, had just had a baby, car and wallet at home and I forgot about my kid at school - my DH is calling the police. Then he'd call family.

I don’t know how, in that short of time, from when he supposedly got home and she supposedly got home he could have hurt her, cleaned the mess and moved their bodies. Someone had to see something. I usually go right to the partner in these cases BUT because of the newborn baby an abduction is also a real possibility. There again, someone must have seen something in the apartment complex. It’s interesting how he brought up the 25.00 she spent. He immediately said he told her it was okay. Why even bring that up? If he didn’t no one would have even known about it. Very interesting case.

A poster on Thread #2 speculated that maybe Heidi never made it home that day. The scene could have been staged as if she did. Possibility.

I speak to my mother every single day. Every day. If I don't call her, she calls me to find out why I haven't called. Why is him calling his dad unusual? He may have just been calling him to talk and casually mentioned her being gone and not knowing where she is. I can say without a doubt that I have done the same. I've said to my mom that my husband isn't home yet or something before. She didn't automatically assume he was in a ditch somewhere. There is nothing unusual about anything this man has done... yet. He is obviously distraught. He seems anxious and awkward. He, very responsibly, sent the son to someone else. I would have too. Imagine trying to take care of a child while this is happening. I probably wouldn't even leave my bed. People on here critique everything he is doing and every movement he makes - none of it is that unusual. He is losing sleep, is exhausted, probably sick with worry and seems like he really loved her and his little family. I've seen people on here mentioning him giving the son a sandwich. Good grief, the simple fact he even gave the boy a sandwich during such a stressful event amazes me. I don't know- I have a hard time believing he is guilty of something here. Nothing he has done really seems that strange. Almost always someone will slip up if they are guilty. I'm positive the police have eyes on him just in case- but this is so heart wrenching to watch this man in pain like this and even more so to read comments accusing him of certain guilt because he gave the son a sandwich, or spoke to the victim about 25$ or because he called his father....

Did he call her mom, or any of her family members?

He seems to want to help. Or he’s eager to know what others might know.

But he said he "sat" ....
So was he asking people these questions as they walked by?
If so, why?

It's not that he called his father, that's not a big deal in and of itself.

It's that he FIRST called his father. She was "missing" so his first instinct should be to find her. It's not likely she was hanging out with the father.

He called the father FIRST, instead of
1) trying to call her again
2) calling the police

Maybe he wanted to know if his father had heard from her or had been by the house? Still not unusual to me.

I wouldn't call that suspicious

The fact he brought up a 25 dollar purchase is very concerning.

As anyone that has ever been in a serious relationship knows, money is often the topic that causes lots of heated arguments. This has been confirmed with numerous surveys as the #1 reason that couples get into arguments.

"According to nearly every survey on the topic, arguments about money have the dubious honor of being the number one source of conflict between married people."

In the video from Twitter I linked above, it looks like each second story apartment has stairs that lead directly to the front door?

As posted in previous thread ( from dailymail uk article)

Did he call her mom, or any of her family members?

"Hours later Tammy got a frightening call from Heidi’s boyfriend.

“Shane called me and told me what was going on,” said Tammy.

That's when Tammy said she found out both her daughter and 2-week old granddaughter were not where they were supposed to be and the details of their disappearance were even more concerning. "

If school was released at 3, unless the kid was in an after school program, there is no way they waited 3 hours before calling someone else to pick the son up from school. Waiting 1 hour even would be unusual unless the school is just super busy after hours and no one noticed that he was still waiting. They would have tried to call her first and when the phone went to voicemail they would have called the next person on the contact list and so on until they got an answer. If the kid was in pre-k and was supposed to be released at 2:15, it makes more sense if he got home at 2, maybe grabbed a snack, watched tv for a minute then around 2:30 was getting called by the school that the son hadn't been picked up yet.

 

[Medstudies]

very good points.
I’d like to know why he wanted her cell records, what did he hope to find/prove from them? Did he want to see if a call or text from his phone to hers or hers to his showed up? That is very bizarre behavior imo.
I fully expect a poi or an arrest announced at PC.

Kinda like P Frazee’s trip to the Verizon store...

I wonder if she and the baby made it home at all? I think something happened to them both before that 1:40 pm call he made to her phone. It would be interesting to know where he phone ping from.

Also, many trucking companies these days have RFID technology in the truck which displays at the office exactly where the truck is and if it's moving or not. I don't know if it records that you can go back and look at a certain day or time though. Hopefully, it does and maybe that could help solidify he was at work.

I don't think LE even if they suspect him with come out and call him a POI. They are going to want "Chatty Cathy" to keep talking and giving interviews. The last thing they are going to want is for him to get a lawyer if they suspect him.

Good points. She might never have walked in her door - hopefully LE has scoured that apartment to know if she ever did that afternoon, at any point.

I wonder if they had a fight over the book purchase and he thought she left in a huff and that was why he waited before alerting her family.

Jeez, I walked away for 20 minutes and new thread with 6 pages.

OK... I'm catching up... but here are a few comments without catching up. I've seen in sooooooooooooooo many cases stuff getting legs that gets outta control... so I'll put up my 2 cents on such

There is much disinformation perhaps leaking into WS. It's not being deleted because mods are busy and cannot keep up, and folks are following and misinformation is getting legs MOO

1)Someone said that Heidi's mom was there and left before she went missing. NO! She was in route there afterwards according to MSM. The OP even stated that was the reference, and not sure how the reference of her coming to help with investigation turned into she was there the day before she went missing.

2) Someone said in my questioning as to " interview that the school called him at 2 pm. That has never been documented on this thread that I have seen. It may be a comment that was done by a poster that got legs? "

They answered with "Start at about 1:00 here - Austin dad pleads for safe return of his two-week-old daughter, her mother", Austin dad pleads for safe return of his two-week-old daughter, her mother

Yet that link does NOT state such AT ALL MOO

3) Youtube guy... not even gonna go there ............... it's been allowed on threads... and moderator approved... so I'll gloss over but... I'll just gloss over

4) Dog on balcony .. Many have asked for, no links to date?

5) Front door open.. Many have asked for, no links to date?

6) Aunt comment - no links... OP said was from FB comment, which is not allowed here..

etc etc etc.

There are periods in cases where misinformation gets legs, and thanks to @PommyMommy for being on top of it all to get links to stop misinformation and get clarification.

I wish I could like this 10000 times. It's frustrating. Especially when links have been politely asked for several times by different members and members who first posted the possibly incorrect info continue actively posting in the thread but don't post kindly requested link or post to correct the misinformation or non-msn source. The thread was closed for over 12 hours for cleanup the other day, we don't want a repeat right before a live update from LE. (Scheduled to start in appx 49 mins I believe)
All said with humble kindness btw

Yep! A few others and I mentioned that we were curious about this on the last thread . I don’t see the residence as being a scene of a major altercation. At least basing my opinion on the hours given of 2ish to the young son arriving home.

And I could be wrong. And edit, horrible grammar. Tired and hangry
