AUSTIN, Texas - More than a week after a 33-year-old Texas mother and her infant daughter vanished, authorities said Friday they found the woman dead more than 100 miles (160.93 kilometres) away but the baby safe, and have charged a suspect with kidnapping and tampering with a corpse. Heidi Broussard and her 1-month-old daughter, Margo Carey, were last seen Dec. 12 in their hometown of Austin, Texas, after Broussard dropped off an older child at an elementary school. Their abrupt disappearance drew national attention, and authorities now say the search appears to have ended with the baby being found alive but her mother dead at a home near Houston. Authorities said the baby found at the house looked like Broussard’s child but were still awaiting DNA tests. The baby was described as being found “healthy” and placed in the custody of Texas Child Protective Services.
