A woman is accused of stealing her friend’s newborn baby to pass off as her own, while the real mum’s body found in the boot of her car.
Heidi Broussard was found strangled and stuffed into a bag in the boot of close friend Magen Fieramusca’s car after going missing with baby daughter Margot.

The two friends, who had met at a Bible camp 10 years before, supposedly became pregnant together and giving birth weeks apart in late 2019.
However, it is now alleged that Fieramusca, 33, from near Housten, Texas, was never expecting at all, despite taking a baby to meet her ex-partner Christopher Green, who believed he was the father, reports 9News.
The defendant was in the delivery room when Ms Broussard gave birth on November 25, according to an arrest affidavit.
Ms Broussard’s fiancé Shane Carey said she told him Fieramusca had claimed to have given birth herself on December 8 or 9, but the defendant herself later told police it was December 12.
However, she apparently could not remember the name of the birthing centre but brought her ‘daughter’ home that same day.

Her defence team described the information in the affidavit as “cursory” and “mere allegations”.
The nine-page affidavit document details how police used tip-offs and forensic evidence to link the accused to the crime.
Her Facebook page, active for 11 years, was deleted on December 17 and her search history included a search for “bodies found in Austin, Texas”, say police.
Fieramusca is due in court on February 3.
