Fieramusca andHeidi Broussard, both 33, had been best friends for years since meeting at a Bible Institute when they were young. When Broussard gave birth to Margo on Nov. 26, Fieramusca was in the delivery room holding her hand.

At the time, Fieramusca had told friends she was 37 weeks pregnant and due around the same date as Broussard. However, authorities believe Fieramusca planned on kidnapping Margo to pass her off as her own.
In early December, Fieramusca told the couple she had given birth days later, but she never sent them pictures or videos of her newborn girl.
“She was a friend, you know? Like, you would not suspect this at all,” Carey said of Fieramusca, who allegedly told her ex-boyfriend “don’t be mad, don’t be mad,” when she came back to the home they shared with a newborn girl.
Broussard’s body would be found in the trunk of Fieramusca’s car with Margo safe and alive inside. Fieramusca was arrested and charged with two counts of kidnapping and one count of tampering.
Her attorney could not be reached for comment Thursday.
