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

[Sarahmarie]

New here and hopefully not breaking the rules or missing something mentioned before but I am wondering if it is possible she was still home when the BF arrived and her going 'missing' occurred afterward. Is there any independent verification that he 100% came home to her already gone- or is that just his version of the timeline?

Feel free to delete if I am not ok to ask!!

I believe she has a Doberman - (based on my search of her online stuff) I’ve owned Dobermans - I can not believe anything happened to her inside that house, if it’s HER dog. Dobermans bond STRONGLY to one person.

Is SC and Heidi the same age?

It’s entirely possible law enforcement is working with a reporter or two - it’s always good to get possible suspects talking freely & repeatedly & on camera and locked into a time line.....without fear of them lawyering up

In the KVUE video, the reporter says “and his fiancé”

Also says “and now three-week old”

Eta: birthdate is posted upstream, Nov 26 iirc?

Yes, and the reporter also says she dropped her “fiancee’s son” off at school. From all other accounts he is her son too. These days I’m afraid we have to take what reporters say w/a grain of salt.

LE hasn't publicly requested security footage, or asked for anything for that matter. Not to say that LE hasn't privately done so, but who is to know whether a particular business or home has video of Heidi walking or a vehicle or anything suspicious.
I find that a bit telling...
Seems when there is a possibility of abduction, especially involving an infant, LE speaks out. Also, there have been no warnings about a possible perp in the area.

Thanks, I thought they had.
But maybe they're keeping this under wraps.
Which is odd when a 2 week old infant is involved. A new baby does not handle change and stress very well. Imo.

Thanks! One thing of note, she spells Margo's name without the "t" as we've seen in the media.

Got it. Yes he does. Okay. And I looked back at the other videos I could find and indeed found NO account of him saying that he called her at noon. So I was mistaken about that.

So he says he called her at 1:40 pm. Phone was off. Assumed she was at a friend’s in the complex. Could not have gone there between that time and 6 or he surely would’ve called the cops sooner. Right?

Did he try to call or text at other times after he got home? If there is a clear record of him calling her at 1:40 pm and his work alibi shows he left with just enough time to arrive home by 1:40 pm, that would support his account that he came home and found her gone.

Because if he came home and she was there, why would he have to call her?

Not sure on the exact timing of his saying he called her and then arrived home but it's possible he called on his way home. I always ask my husband to do that in case I want him to pick anything up.

 

[Linda7NJ]

I found only one picture of him online so far. He’s consistent with his uncomfortableness from what I can tell. If I ever go missing, there are NO RECENT, (by recent - I mean in the last 15 years! lol) photographs of me...I hate to be photographed.

His dad is the one who set it up

The funding is for a minimal amount. Not a money maker.

It does state on the website that there are W/D in the apartment.

A lot of times there are just washer/dryer hookups in apartments so if tenant doesn’t own a washer and dryer they still have to use communal laundry facilities.

If you take DV out of the equation I like the laundry hypothesis, because it would explain leaving the apt w/just the baby and cell phone...

French spelling.

That's a good suggestion for why LE has been so silent and inactive.
Unless they're doing a lot behind the scenes.
But it looks bad.

Think about it-- if someone kidnapped them both like BF claims, who wants a crying baby to have to conceal ?
(I'm playing the devils' advocate.)

If a perp took her from the apt., he'd leave the baby. How do you quietly abduct a woman and her wailing newborn without attracting any attention ?

 

[2anthro]

G (F.) M's are public pages to ask for handouts.
They're not on FB, iirc.

I am curious about the amount being requested and who started it ?
If she was kidnapped like the boyfriend has hinted at but not confirmed -- has there been a ransom demand ?
Would the ransom demand (if there is one) be publicized on the G.-F--M ?

Minimal, modest amount.

Heidi left her phone behind., correct ?
Doesn't Shane have it ?
Sorry if I missed this-- posts are uploading faster than I can keep up.

 

[Colorado303]

He may have meant that but it’s clear as day to me that he said “she won’t be in any trouble”.

Me too. No question in my mind that’s what he said. Wondered a little bit if he thinks they were taken by a female and that’s why he said she, but that would mean he changed from talking directly to whomever took them to talking about the taker in the same sentence. Which would also be odd.

I thought the phone was missing, and turned off.

I’ve known many people in a situation like this. None were laughing. Ever.

Fair point but, as a lawyer, you also know that isn't proof that nobody does.

Praise God that I've been NOT been in such a situation but I did have a laughing attack while on the witness stand. I'm so embarrassed to even admit it! I was 18, it was car accident case, I was a nervous wreck with a stone faced jury staring at me. Totally humiliating AND my friend lost her case. I realize that's not comparable, though, and don't mean to minimize your observations. I noticed it, too, and I'm not sure what to think. Gut reaction was very suspicious while my nature is always to give the benefit of the doubt (which hasn't always worked in my favor, I might add).

 

[Linda7NJ]

I had a close friend give me invaluable advice in the middle of a family “crisis” - she told me to keep a running journal of what happened, when, who I spoke to, and write down every detail. When awful things happen, you don’t eat or sleep right and days blend together. There’s so much activity it’s impossible to remember- even though you think to yourself “how could I ever forget” -
I found my journal when I moved, I sat down and read some random passages- I can’t believe I forgot about a lot the things I read....and I actually remembered one particular thing completely wrong.

The mind does weird things during traumatic events and with them later.

But would he not have noticed the laundry basket missing? The detergent missing? He says her wallet was there, nothing missing, no credit cards missing. Wouldn't she need that for the W/D? Would an abductor take the laundry with them??
