00:05it wasn't just a missing woman it's a missing woman with a two-week-old baby they were able
00:13to confirm her whereabouts that morning but anything past that was a huge mystery my first
00:18thought was what did he do to her what has he done when people become obsessed they can escalate to
00:25murder every one of her friends are possible suspects police have a very small window of
00:32opportunity before something really bad could happen the smell of decomposing flesh is coming
00:39from the trunk of the car no one would have expected this kind of an outcome this is not a
00:45crime of passion there was something that was thought out deliberately to lie for nine months
00:51it's ruthless it's calculated it's evil to plan this it's disturbing it's insanity
01:15Austin is the capital of Texas it's a very safe city compared to other major metropolitan cities
01:21and really the crime problem there is more of lesser crimes petty crimes misdemeanors
01:31but on December 12 2019 a patrol officer takes a missing person report someone named Shane
01:39Currie calls the Austin Police Department and let him know that his fiancee and his baby who was two
01:45and a half weeks old they're missing that right away is going to send us to another level of concern
01:50so they immediately call for the on-duty detective in the missing persons unit
01:57when investigators arrived on scene they meet Shane who had called the police that night and he said
02:03his fiancee Heidi Broussard was a 33 year old beautiful mother of two they had a son Silas he's six
02:10years old
02:11and a precious little baby girl who was two and a half weeks old named Margo their son Silas was
02:17home
02:18with Shane only Heidi and newborn Margo they're missing what's really important in missing people
02:24cases is when's the last time the person was seen you always start to search there so Shane laid out
02:31the
02:34timeline
02:34he told investigators that day started out like most normal days Shane got up about 6 a.m. and he
02:42got ready for work and he left for work about 6 30
02:44Heidi ended up getting up with both kids and was getting Silas ready to go to school that morning
02:49Heidi called him at 8 30 that morning after leaving the school
02:53she said she had dropped off their son that's the last time that Shane spoke to Heidi
03:00Shane gets back to his apartment about 2 30 after he's done working for the day
03:06Shane finds the apartment completely empty no Heidi no baby
03:11he initially thought maybe she had just taken the baby and was visiting somebody in the apartment complex
03:19so he starts looking around and he notices her vehicle in the apartment complex ends up going to her
03:26vehicle and finding it unlocked inside is her purse her wallet and a few other items that Heidi would
03:32never leave behind one thing missing was her cell phone Shane told us he called Heidi gets nothing but
03:43then he realizes hey I better get to the elementary school to pick up my son Shane he said he
03:49goes to
03:50the elementary school he picks up his son goes back home Heidi does not show up
03:58he started to be concerned on why was she not showing up this is unlike her what happened
04:05so he's calling her repeatedly and her phone is just going to voicemail
04:10then he starts making phone calls to her friends her family he calls Rachel one of Heidi's co-workers
04:18and Megan one of Heidi's best friends nobody has had any contact with her so he tries her cell phone
04:27again nothing so Shane said at that point in time and about 7 30 it was really getting concerned so
04:35he
04:35called the Austin police department to report her as missing
04:41Heidi's case was different it wasn't just a missing woman it's a missing woman with a two-week-old baby
04:47police really stepped into action because of the age of the baby the urgency of finding this newborn
04:54as investigators search the apartment there's no forced entry in the apartment
04:59there's no signs of struggle in the apartment there was nothing out of place there was nothing
05:05you know thrown around the room everything was seemingly normal they didn't find any forensic
05:11evidence that a crime had been committed there
05:16but one of the things that concerned the investigators was that Shane said that the baby was having some
05:23issues with taking food and there had to be a formula mixture with breast milk the diaper bag special food
05:31were still in the apartment baby margot had health complications from birth she had jaundice so Heidi
05:38would have taken this special formula that margot needed she knows better than to leave all of that behind
05:45what woman takes a two-week-old baby without food without diapers without her purse
05:51police would certainly consider the possibility that since she had so recently given birth there could
05:56be a postpartum complication is she depressed is she suicidal a lot of moms do go through postpartum
06:04depression right after having a child but Shane told investigators that Heidi was in a really good
06:09place she didn't suffer from postpartum and she was doing really well after the birth of margot
06:14at this point we think this is a legitimate kidnapping of a woman and a baby so austin police
06:21and their detectives immediately do a neighborhood canvas of the apartment complex to see if anyone had
06:27seen anything noticed anything strange but people saw nothing and the apartment complex didn't have cameras
06:37at that point in time we did what's called a reverse 9-1-1 where the 9-1-1 system
06:43actually calls every
06:45telephone number in a specific geographic area to alert them that someone is missing a baby's missing
06:53and there was a press conference and Heidi just having a baby it really grabbed our attention
07:00heidi and margot were last seen on thursday december 12th here in austin texas heidi is a 33 year old
07:06white female she stands five foot three 150 pounds if you see heidi or margot please contact the austin
07:12police department or your local law enforcement agency young mother suddenly goes missing very young baby
07:21missing with her the police are concerned about foul play the reality is that heidi broussard was an
07:31attractive young woman with a small child she would be a very vulnerable victim if somebody were looking
07:37for one an eyewitness saw heidi and baby margot getting inside of a vehicle the address was given out
07:46when the raid was announced and oh my god that was when all hell broke loose
08:01heidi broussard and her little baby girl who was two and a half weeks old named margot they're missing
08:06and the reverse 9-1-1 search called out about 4 000 of the neighbors but no leads were found
08:16the next day on the 13th the austin police detective started talking to immediate family and heidi's
08:22friends my friend rachel she called me and told me that heidi was missing i was just like what do
08:30you
08:30mean she's missing i don't think your brain processes what's really going on but when i was told that she
08:37never picked silas up from school i knew that something was wrong your mind goes with the unanswered
08:44questions is she being taken care of is the baby being taken care of is she being fed are they
08:51cold you know are they alone you just you don't know investigators want to know all the details
09:02about heidi who was she did she have any mental illness is there trouble at home that led them to
09:08leave i told the police heidi rocked being a mom she truly rocked it her kids were everything to her
09:18she would absolutely never leave silas and me knowing the turmoil that her and shane had been in
09:29previously my first thought was what did he do to her what has he done in my experience the largest
09:38majority of the time when things like this happen it's going to be the spouse the fiance the boyfriend
09:45someone who is close to the victim so of course the police are going to look at shane first
09:53we grew up in lake charles louisiana when heidi was in her mid-20s she worked at the casino for
09:59a
10:00while living her best life she was a cocktail waitress and had met shane there and fell in love
10:10they had one of those relationships it was a little tumultuous it was back and forth
10:14but pretty early on she found out she was pregnant of course the way we were raised her getting pregnant
10:22out of quote-unquote wedlock was definitely not the way you want to tell your family but she always
10:29wanted to be a mom they moved to austin right before silas was born and they had silas and nothing
10:37else
10:37mattered they were together eight years but unfortunately her and shane had broke up a lot
10:45she told me about abuse whether it's financial emotional mental but we all thought she knows
10:52when enough is enough and the last breakup that was it that was going to be it
10:59but then early that year she found out she was pregnant with margo
11:05and she told me she wanted to give it another shot because she wanted her family she wanted the unit
11:11and she wanted her kids to have that come hell or high water she was going to make her family
11:16work
11:18it's not unreasonable to wonder if something had re-emerged from the previous conflicts that
11:25they had had that was now creating strife in their relationship again
11:32next shane was brought into austin police department to do a real formal in-depth interview
11:38through the course of the interviews with shane it was obvious there were some troubles in the
11:43relationship but it's natural to have troubles in relationships shane told the police that him and
11:49heidi were in a good place and tells them there was never any physical abuse and the last time he
11:55spoke with her was the day she went missing she was just leaving silas at school she told him what
12:01she did at the school and that she ended up getting three books for silas and she was really excited
12:05to
12:06be able to read to him that night so while they continue speaking with shane investigators need to
12:12verify when heidi had last been seen austin police go through the surveillance from her son's school
12:19and they find footage of her dropping off her son for school she ends up getting caught on the camera
12:25at about 8 12 that morning heidi broussard was last seen in this image released by austin police
12:32smiling and wearing a purple sweatshirt her assumption is that they're alive and the sooner
12:38that we can find them the better so they were able to confirm her whereabouts that morning but
12:43anything past that was a huge mystery now investigators need to find out from shane
12:51where he was does he have an alibi in this case shane said he was at work his boss confirmed
12:57that he
12:58was at work all day as he was supposed to be so there was nothing atypical about his day
13:05shane was very helpful he gave the police his cell phone we could see when she called him
13:10that he had fact had talked to her on december 12th he had already let them search in the apartment
13:16he let them look at the car so there was nothing he was holding back his alibis checking out also
13:22looking into shane there was nothing that popped up that said there was any domestic violence that
13:29there were any police calls for service at the address as far as law enforcement was concerned
13:34he was not part of piety being missing so at this point the police have very little to go on
13:43because this child is so young just a few weeks old has some medical complications and just needs
13:49basic needs taken care of investigators have a very small window of opportunity before something
13:55really bad could happen so i called the chief of the austin police department and said hey the fbi
14:01has a lot of resources we can bring we have the card team a group of investigators intelligence analysts
14:10technicians that focus on child abductions one of the things we brought to bear in this particular case
14:17is something called the fbi's child abduction rapid deployment team that we deploy at the request of
14:23our state and local partners whenever a child is abducted our investigators move out very quickly
14:30to start looking very aggressively where could she be where could this baby be we need to find
14:37heidi and her new baby as soon as possible
14:47heidi and her new baby have been missing for a number of days the fbi card team start looking hard
14:54for heidi after they speak with him on december 13th investigators moved on from shane
15:02the next step once you rule out a spouse or a partner is you start to look at every one
15:07of her
15:07acquaintances her family neighbors everyone she worked with and you really have to start digging
15:14in on all of those people as possible suspects investigators learned that heidi was very bubbly
15:23very social and very outgoing she was someone who had a lot of friends and she was like the go
15:31-to of the
15:31group i told the police heidi loves everybody she takes everybody in she didn't see the red flags in
15:39people they said she was very loyal i mean her friends date back from when she was a teen
15:46me rachel and heidi we were just best friends then we go to church camp every year we met megan
15:52and
15:53caressa at church camp in columbus texas heidi and them became good friends and they've always kept in touch
16:03it's kind of funny when heidi got pregnant with silas we were pregnant at the same time i was pregnant
16:09with my second one and she was pregnant with her first and you know she was so excited we were
16:13both
16:14having boys and when heidi had gotten pregnant with margo her best friend megan was having a baby too
16:23and they were excited to be pregnant together and just to have the same due date heidi was always the
16:31cheerleader when she loved you she loved you and she never let you go no matter where anybody lived
16:39you know she was always the lifeline that kept everybody together so when heidi went missing i thought
16:48it was either shane or definitely a stranger because none of heidi's friends would hurt heidi
16:55i know it's shane i know he did it i know it's him it's got to be like who else
17:01would it be
17:06even though investigators were able to confirm shane's alibi heidi's friends still were kind of
17:13side-eyeing shane just because they knew heidi and shane had a toxic relationship there was a lot of
17:19speculation around him so i wanted to put together a search team i was like we need to go find
17:25her
17:32i became involved in this case when heidi's loved ones called equi search because of her
17:40disappearance that search is involved in volunteer search efforts we don't charge a nickel we'll be
17:48part of a search and helping families we're not part of an investigation but many times we've
17:55given them information that's led to some pretty good results i remember talking to heidi's friends
18:04and other family members i talked to a very close friend her name was megan she was telling me the
18:13stories about heidi and shane they were having some problems and she says knowing what i know about that
18:21relationship it wouldn't surprise me if shane did something to her and i said he really feels oh he's
18:29capable and megan said he's more than capable she pointed 100 to shane
18:40when we started that search in austin area i met with shane met with shane's dad there was many many
18:47volunteers that wanted to get involved so we put together some atvs and some foot searchers here in
18:56austin there's a lot of different terrain that you go looking through you have zilker park you have
19:01all the green belts you have natural waterways i actually mark spots on maps that she possibly could
19:09have walked to or she possibly could have taken a cab too shane and i spent a lot of time
19:16together
19:17driving around kind of looking at different areas everybody reacts different you know but i never heard
19:24his voice sound like he was going to break down and cry his demeanor just wasn't at all what i
19:32thought
19:32that it should have been it seemed strange to say the least wow we were looking for her we were
19:44all
19:44talking trying to keep up to date with everything but there was no trace i was just like well will
19:50this
19:51ever be solved because it didn't feel like they were getting anywhere
19:56there were some calls that came in with possible sightings
19:59but none of them ended up being really credible after some of the search efforts that we did
20:05we haven't found anything we don't have anywhere else to go
20:15so next an emergency order was filed with heidi's cell phone company to see was the phone hitting we call
20:21it pinging was the cell phone active and hitting somewhere that request went through and it came back
20:27that her phone was either off or at a battery and it had not pinged anywhere since pinging at the
20:33house
20:33on december 12th the day that heidi disappears so he started canvassing through the neighborhood again
20:40because a lot of times what you find is people see things that they don't know are important until
20:47you really jog their brain this time one witness described a four-door sedan of a light color that
20:56she saw go around towards the back where heidi's apartment was then another neighbor actually
21:03remembered seeing somebody with the description of heidi and margot getting inside of a similar vehicle
21:10so we're starting to get a little bit more of a picture of the last time anyone had seen heidi
21:15but when people are missing you're going down different investigative avenues at the same time
21:21as we interviewed more of heidi's friends a couple of people told us that one of heidi's friends
21:26acted odd during the delivery of heidi's baby so investigators go to the hospital and interview delivery staff
21:37the nurse remembered right after heidi gave birth to margot most of the family got to hold the baby
21:42well shane's dad was ready to hold the baby and heidi's friend stepped in and said hold on and
21:48aggressively took the baby from him she acts very possessive with the baby acts very strange in general
21:54and literally takes the baby from the grandfather because she wants to hold the baby
22:02once we got that story of what happened in the maternity room our behavioral analysis people
22:09right away said hey we really got to look at this this could possibly be a maternal desire type situation
22:17maternal desire is a mental state where a woman has an insatiable drive to acquire a child that's why
22:26maternity rooms are so locked down because unfortunately there's been a number of instances
22:31where people have gotten in there and stolen a baby when we heard how heidi's friend acted with
22:39the baby it made us very suspicious about her mental state now we have a suspicious person
22:49our investigators from the card team said we got to go hard on this we need to figure out who
22:55is this
22:56woman and where could she be the police had talked to the hospital staff where heidi gave birth to baby
23:13margot the nurses remember one of heidi's good friends was acting super possessive over margot right
23:21after she was born police were concerned about the possibility of maternal desire which can turn into
23:30something that is not altogether different from what i would call delusional this baby's mind i need this
23:36baby i must have it when people get into that sort of delusional or semi-delusional world reality
23:45doesn't matter anymore and when people become that obsessed and that divorced from reality that can
23:53escalate to extreme violence it can escalate to murder so investigators decided to take this very
24:01seriously right from the beginning so investigators asked shane who in fact was in the hospital room when
24:08heidi was delivering margot and he mentioned megan megan humphrey which was one of her closest friends
24:17once we identify megan as the woman in the maternity ward with the strange behavior we start going back
24:23and re-interviewing people to say what can you tell us about her what's her timeline and any of these
24:30other pieces we have could it fit back to her so heidi's friends told investigators that megan lived in
24:42houston but they still kept in touch megan was one of heidi's best friends since their early teens but
24:47while heidi and megan were really close friends most of heidi's friends didn't really love megan when
24:54heidi introduced us unfortunately i got a bad vibe from megan i didn't like her right away but heidi's
25:03heart was so pure she loved everybody so i mean she's been friends with her for many many years
25:11according to her friends they just thought megan was a little weird didn't really click with her
25:15could give or take her but heidi was you know the embracer
25:22through the course of re-interviews asking about megan we find out megan announced she's pregnant
25:29not long after heidi announced she was pregnant when she was told about the pregnancy megan was like
25:35we're going to be pregnant together november 26 the day that margo was born megan came down to austin
25:45megan was about 37 weeks pregnant at this time heidi's friends told police it was remarkable that
25:53she had driven about three hours from houston to austin to be present for the birth of baby margo
26:01and just a few weeks later on december the 8th or the 9th she tells everyone she gave birth to
26:07her
26:07own baby named luna investigators ask her friends did you see a picture of the baby
26:15have you seen this baby and all of them said i haven't seen a picture of her wow you're a
26:23new
26:23mom you're proud of this baby and you haven't shown a picture so that was very quickly looked at
26:31but there's no evidence that she had a baby at all and she really starts rising on the list of
26:38of
26:39suspects you start doing research and now things start to click she actually has a four-door light
26:46colored sedan like the car that somebody saw heidi and the baby get into in the parking lot when they
26:53went missing investigators start looking into all the red light cameras in the area as well as license
26:59plate readers and their license plate readers showing her in the area the day that heidi
27:05disappears also after her cell phone records were retrieved her phone had been pinged that date on
27:11different cell phone towers that were located near heidi's apartment so now at this point investigators
27:17put together a lineup of multiple people and megan humphrey and take this lineup back to the neighbor
27:23for an eyewitness account when they showed her megan humphrey the neighbor actually said
27:29this person is the person that she saw heidi and margot getting in the vehicle with on the morning of
27:35their disappearance obviously she is now suspect number one in this case is she going to harm the
27:46baby is she going to run is she going to do something you don't always want to do an interview
27:51right away because obviously the minute you do an interview they know that they're a suspect and we
27:57are very concerned for the safety of the child so the decision was let's put a surveillance team all
28:03around the house in houston to see is there any sign of heidi a baby anything strange the texas rangers
28:13were called in to assist them with the surveillance on megan's house in houston texas
28:19we see her car in the backyard it fits the four-door light color of sedan that one witness
28:27described to us at a point during the surveillance a man leaves the house let's follow him see who he
28:33is where's he going he goes to target where he is observed buying baby supplies
28:40the texas rangers make the decision hey this is a life safety issue we're concerned about the health
28:46of the baby we're going to intervene right now so the texas rangers grab him in the parking lot
28:52they start asking him questions he identified himself as christopher green they find out this
28:59is megan's ex-boyfriend whom she lives with they asked him if he had a newborn child and he said
29:04he did
29:05and they told him we're looking into why heidi as well as her child are missing and they show him
29:10a picture of baby marco and he said that's my baby that's my baby at home
29:24investigators stopped christopher green megan's ex-boyfriend whom she lives with after he leaves
29:30target he had a bunch of baby items he says why i'm buying this stuff because my girlfriend had a
29:36baby but the texas rangers show him a picture of the missing baby and he says that's the baby that's
29:43at
29:44my house and then they ask him if he was present at the birth christopher green told investigators that
29:53he's an oil field worker when he arrived home from a work trip on december 13th his ex-girlfriend
30:00megan had given birth a few days before that while he was gone he said well why didn't you call
30:06me
30:06she's like please don't be angry but i ended up having the baby at a birthing center obviously if
30:13you're the father of a baby it's very surprising that you were not present when the baby was born
30:17the whole story doesn't hold water it doesn't make sense doesn't add up at all
30:23so based on all the information that christopher green gave authorities at that point
30:27they had enough probable cause to go back and enter the property where megan was with the baby
30:37i had been doing podcasting for roughly a year before the heidi case came about
30:43it was december 19th i interviewed her friend caressa to raise awareness about heidi and the baby's
30:50disappearance after a week of heidi being missing i think her friends and family were getting really
30:56desperate so we are talking to heidi's best friend caressa we were live on youtube so everybody is
31:03participating in real time everything of hers was there besides her phone and her keys which is very
31:10very odd yeah as the interview went on someone in the chat had said breaking news they're raiding
31:16a home in houston and that changed everything wait a second you guys we have breaking news northwest
31:21harris county home swarmed by fbi and austin police the address was given out when the raid was
31:29announced and someone in the chat started searching the address to that house and someone found a baby
31:36registry megan humphrey and christopher green oh my god oh my god what what that's megan her best friend
31:47what what oh my god that's megan's house
31:53and that was when all hell broke loose i'm over here freaking out guys sorry
31:59oh
32:04i'm so sorry caressa i'm so sorry
32:11authorities enter the property where megan was with the baby and rescue the baby some of the agents
32:18take this baby to a hospital to make sure that the baby is okay then they begin to interview megan
32:25at
32:25the house megan tells the investigators the baby was her baby girl named luna okay when did you have
32:32the baby where did you have the baby she couldn't tell them where she had the baby how could you
32:37not
32:37remember since we were pretty sure this is heidi's baby now where is heidi investigators expanded their
32:47search and they start looking for heidi they are searching everywhere to see if there's any evidence of
32:54her being alive walking through the backyard immediately one of the texas rangers is struck
33:03with this smell that's coming out of the car as investigators you know that smell they pop the
33:10trunk and inside of the trunk they find a black duffel bag and upon opening the black duffel bag they
33:18find a female deceased pretty quickly they realized based on photos they had this is in fact heidi
33:27although we were very happy to retrieve the baby alive and healthy it's hard to celebrate that when
33:34you know that heidi died
33:38we have a fox news alert for you a dead body and a baby found alive in that search connected
33:45to the
33:45missing mother down in texas heidi broussard and her newborn daughter margot
33:51i'm watching news coverage and then
34:01you see the stretcher with the body pack
34:07and you know that your friends in them
34:11your friends are there
34:15i just remember screaming
34:20um and i'm just screaming like she she's gone she's dead
34:28i got a call from a detective says hey i just want to make you aware
34:33ever i want to hide his friend's house i can't get a lot of information right now but
34:38i'm just thinking man if i could just see shane right now and just hug him and say i'm sorry
34:55i'm sorry i'm sorry man i'm sorry once the baby was released from the hospital and dna testing
35:02proved that it was heidi's baby she was returned to the family
35:13based on evidence license plate readers showing her in the area the day that heidi disappears
35:19there's cell phone records heidi's baby at her house in houston her car with heidi in the trunk
35:27when you add all that together we know megan is responsible for this crime
35:34i'm angry we're all angry
35:38why hide it your best friend is supposed to be the person you trust more than anybody
35:46the houston coroner did an autopsy and declared that heidi was killed by strangulation
35:54authorities charged megan with capital murder and two counts of kidnapping an account of
35:59tampering with evidence a human corpse for putting heidi in the trunk of the vehicle but
36:04megan would never speak with investigators about the details i'm not sure we're ever going to know
36:09the full story behind what happened between heidi and megan but it was pretty obvious there was a plan
36:15that was thought out deliberately over the course of months the timing of megan's announcement that she
36:23was pregnant doesn't seem accidental or coincidental she was probably planning right from the outset
36:31to take heidi's baby from her and the only way that that timeline would work
36:37is if she too became pregnant right around the same time the idea that somebody could lie for nine
36:44months to everybody they love is ruthless it's calculated it's evil
36:52so now at this point investigators must ask how in the world did megan's ex-boyfriend not know this whole
37:00time it sounds very suspicious so we really start to think about
37:06was this person part of this was christopher green planning this with megan
37:21when megan was arrested once they had found heidi and the baby a lot of people questioned how megan's
37:29boyfriend could not know but when the investigators talked to megan's ex-boyfriend the story that he
37:37told them was plausible he had broken up with megan months earlier right before megan announced she was
37:45pregnant within days of the now ex-boyfriend kicking her out of the house she comes back
37:52and says hey i'm pregnant and he allows her to move back in they were sleeping in separate rooms they
38:01weren't being intimate with one another so he was clueless he had not seen her naked and could not
38:08confirm that she was pregnant so he took it on her word obviously megan's boyfriend was investigated
38:15thoroughly and although it looks very strange it was determined that he was truthful and he was
38:23proven to have nothing to do with this crime
38:28this is a textbook case of maternal desire where megan was envious of her friend for having a
38:35baby getting pregnant everything that went with it she consciously made the decision i'm going to kill
38:42my best friend to take her baby because that's what i want looking back this is where i think the
38:51story started
38:56megan's boyfriend chris he was breaking up with her she's got to figure out how to make him stay
39:03what's the easiest way to keep somebody is to tell him you're pregnant when heidi first announced
39:09her pregnancy with the baby megan told everybody that she was pregnant too then over the course of
39:16the subsequent months she faked a pregnancy she gained a lot of weight she stuffed her belly to show
39:25that she was getting bigger and bigger every single month she created a baby registry and then later
39:31had a baby shower on november 26th heidi gives birth and megan is there with her
39:39and then a little over a week later megan tells all of her friends that she gave birth to a
39:43baby
39:44girl named luna on december 12th early in the afternoon megan comes to visit heidi at her department
39:52complex we don't know exactly how megan got heidi down to the car but somehow using that friendship
40:00megan got heidi to bring the baby down and see her investigators think that after megan got heidi in the
40:06car she strangled her and drove back to houston with heidi's body and the baby the next day when megan's
40:15ex-boyfriend came back home she introduced baby margot to him as his child
40:25to think that this was planned out over a nine-month period that she was going to do away with
40:30her friend
40:31just to get her baby and never have one thought that this might not be a good idea is crazy
40:38to me
40:40we did lay heidi to rest right before christmas and she had the absolute most beautiful funeral
40:47i saw shane at the funeral and i said i want to let you know that i blamed you
40:53i had to admit this to him and it sucked he was just like it's okay it's okay he was
41:00like everybody
41:01thought it you know you're not the only one you aren't alone megan never went to trial for this case
41:07she actually accepted a plea deal megan was sentenced to 55 years in prison no chance of parole and no
41:13chance to appeal her case what is justice justice is only a word families never get over it it's just
41:26a
41:27word to hopefully comfort us there's a lot of evil in this world and it just makes you take a
41:36step back
41:36and look around i mean she thought that this person was her best friend for 20 years
41:43i can't even imagine she took the mother of two children those children will never have a
41:49mother now she destroyed an entire family and it really breaks my heart to think about that
42:00heidi was
42:03a light in everybody's life she was a good person a good friend she had a laugh that was unmistakable
42:12and she wanted to make everybody's day a little brighter
42:18her we all want to keep her memory alive because heidi never missed the opportunity
42:23to take somebody in and make them feel special and that's just but that's who she was
