In a disturbing twist in the murder of Texas mom Heidi Broussard, the 33-year-old’s close friend Magen Fieramusca was charged with two counts of kidnapping. Broussard and her three-week-old daughter Margot disappeared on December 12. The baby was found alive. Investigators say more charges could be coming as they work to determine who killed Broussard and left her in the trunk of the Fieramuscas’ car. Authorities reportedly say Fieramusca had acted like she was expecting a child at the same time as Broussard, as part of a plot to kidnap baby Margot. Mireya Villarreal reports. Source
