NW Harris Co. home swarmed by FBI and Austin police
About a dozen officers from the Texas Rangers, Department of Public Safety, FBI and the Austin Police Department have been at a home in northwest Harris County for hours Thursday.

It appears to be part of a high profile investigation on Bo Jack Drive near Jersey Village.

An Eyewitness News crew waited for what was believed to be a warrant service. Then, around 8:15 p.m., there was movement, with law enforcement going into the house.

[…]

SkyEye 13 was overhead earlier in the day, and a Nissan was seen parked up close to the house.

[…]
The presence of Austin police has prompted our questions on whether this is connected to the disappearance of Austin mother Heidi Broussard and her infant daughter. They haven't been seen since Dec. 12.

A neighbor told ABC13 police asked her Thursday night whether she remembers any movement here on that day.

Expert calls circumstances in missing Austin mother, baby case "profoundly rare"
[…]

Assistant Professor at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Michelle Jeanis has a research focus on missing persons cases.

[…]

Jeanis says statistically speaking, it's extremely uncommon for people to just get up and walk away, especially with a small child.

The possibility of an abduction, she claims, is even more unlikely. "It's profoundly rare that strangers abduct an adult or strangers abduct a child and the two of them together would not typically make an easy victim," says Jeanis.

[…]

In missing persons cases, Jeanis claims the more media attention the better. However, that does not mean investigators reveal everything. "I'm thinking that law enforcement has evidence that they're not for safety reasons sharing with us," says Jeanis.

Numerous law enforcement officials surrounded a home in Houston on Thursday, in connection with missing Austin mom Heidi Broussard and her infant daughter, Margo.

ABC 13 reports that authorities conducted a “high profile investigation” at a home off of Bo Jack Drive in NW Harris County. Investigators secured the area with crime scene tape and were specifically concentrating on a Nissan parked in the driveway. The car reportedly belongs to someone that Heidi knows.

At around 8:15 p.m., authorities entered the residence.

Officials removed a body from the home after a medical examiner’s van arrived on Thursday night. So far, the identity is unknown.

A female infant was taken from the home after a Child Protective Services call to the local fire department. According to authorities, the baby was alive with no visible signs of injury.
