According to Austin police, Fieramusca visited Broussard and her three-week-old daughter in their South Austin apartment and strangled her with a dog leash. She put Broussard's body in her trunk and drove to her ex-boyfriend's Houston-area home and tried to pass off Margo as their daughter. Fieramusca appeared to be pregnant at the same time, though authorities never confirmed if she was. Investigators listed her motive as "maternal desire.
"We appreciate all the love that everyone is showing, I mean we really, really do, it's wonderful to see people come together like this. I know Heidi would love it also," said Ty Carey, the father of Broussard's boyfriend, at a December 2019 vigil not long after Heidi was found.
