It's been more than two years since a new mother was found murdered, in the trunk of a car, with her friend claiming her infant girl as her own child.
abc13.comI don’t have real-time access to the latest updates right now, but I can summarize what’s widely reported about the Heidi Broussard case up to recently and point you to where you can find current developments.
Overview
- Heidi Broussard, a mother from Austin, Texas, disappeared in December 2019 along with her newborn daughter Margot. The case drew intense media attention and a nationwide search before Margot was found alive in the home of Heidi’s friend, Magen Fieramusca, who had allegedly orchestrated the disappearance to obtain a baby. Heidi Broussard was later found dead; Fieramusca faced multiple charges and eventually pled guilty to murder with related counts. This remains one of the more notorious “stolen baby” cases in recent memory.[1][3][4][7][8]
Recent media angles
- In 2026, outlets have continued to revisit the case, including dramatizations and retrospectives. A Netflix-related piece and Lifetime/true-crime coverage have highlighted the timeline, motives, and courtroom outcomes for the involved parties. If you’re interested in a dramatized retelling, there are productions and articles that summarize what happened and how the case concluded.[3][4][7][9]
- Official court proceedings and sentencing details solidify the facts: Fieramusca faced charges related to kidnapping and murder, and public records indicate a conviction and a sentence associated with those charges. For precise court dates, charges, and sentencing outcomes, court records or credible news outlets’ legal follow-ups are the best sources.[7][1]
Where to check for the latest
- Reputable national outlets’ crime sections (e.g., CNN, NBC News) often maintain updated timelines and outcomes for ongoing or resolved cases. Look for “Heidi Broussard” or “Magen Fieramusca” in their search tool.[10][1]

- For official facts, court records or local Texas court portals can confirm sentencing details and current status. If you want, I can guide you to the appropriate state court websites and help interpret any documents you find.
