LAKE CHARLES, Louisiana (KXAN) — Austin mother Heidi Broussard, who was found dead in the trunk of a car earlier this month, will be laid to rest today.
Family and friends of Broussard are gathering in her
hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana, for the funeral at 2 p.m. on Dec. 28.
It follows a public viewing, which happened yesterday
evening.
Broussard and her two-week-old baby Margo vanished on Dec.
12. She was found dead a week later in Houston, but Margo was found alive and
is with her family.
Austinites showed their support for the family with a prayer vigil at Garrison Park on Monday night.
Magen Fieramusca has been charged
with kidnapping and tampering with a human corpse in relation to the incident.
She is due to appear in the 460th District Court
for the first time on Jan. 2.
Her attorney Jackie Wood told KXAN, “As with every American accused of a crime, unless the State can prove
these allegations beyond any reasonable doubt, Ms. Fieramusca is innocent.”
No one has been charged with murdering Broussard at this stage
in the investigation.
