Community organizes search for missing Austin mother, baby
Just one week ago at Waterloo Ice House in Southpark Meadows, Broussard and her then two-week-old baby Margo sat at a table. The very next day, they vanished.
Now fliers with their pictures line the windows at Waterloo. Soon those same fliers will be posted around South Austin. A group of community members will conduct a search of the area around Heidi’s apartment, the last location police believe she visited.
Sarra, who is organizing the search, knows the complex well.
“The first apartment complex I was in after I moved out of my house,” Sarra said.
When she found out there was no official search party set up, Sarra decided to create one.
“I thought I can make a little contribution and the response has just been overwhelming and I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, we live in a wonderful community,” said Sarra.
She called the pastor at Gateway Church South to ask if he was comfortable with the church serving as a sort of home base for volunteers.
“He immediately was like, ‘yes.’ He didn't even think, so that was really amazing,” Sarra said.
