Shane Carey, the fiancé of murdered Austin mom Heidi Broussard, spoke out after her death in a plot to steal their newborn baby. In a 2020 interview, he expressed his disbelief that her best friend Magen Fieramusca was allegedly involved in her murder.
Carey told ABC News that he still cannot accept what happened, saying 'I'm waiting for that text message, like, 'Hey sweetie, how we doing?' … Just waiting to hear her voice. I still don’t believe it. I just don’t believe it. It’s really not real.'
He added that Broussard deserves more than what happened to her, saying 'She deserves more. She deserves way more.'
Carey also questioned whether Fieramusca acted alone, saying 'Heidi is way stronger than Magen. There has to be a second person. There is no way Magen was by herself.'
The case involved Heidi Broussard being strangled to death in December 2019, with her body found in the trunk of Fieramusca’s car in Houston. Her newborn daughter Margot was found alive at the same house and was later reunited with Carey. Fieramusca was arrested and charged with kidnapping and tampering with evidence, and was sentenced to 55 years in prison.
