Margo Careyis back home with her family as the investigation into the infant’s kidnapping — and her mother’s alleged murder — continues.
“I don’t know about the DNA test, but they’re just putting her back where she belongs — with her family,” Ty Carey, Margo’s grandfather, toldKPRC 2. “A child needs to be, especially at that age, needs [the] voices and smells of familiarity.”
Community members gathered for a candlelight vigil in Austin, Texas, on Monday to honor Broussard (who was also the parent of a 6-year-old son named Silas).
Two of Broussard’s coworkers spoke at the vigil. One of them said she “lit up everyone’s face” when she entered a room.
“The hardest thing for me was feeling all of the emotion of [Heidi’s] son. I was there when they told him,” said another coworker, per KVUE. “Everybody’s been asking me how I am, and I just tell them not okay. I just get up and go every single day.”
Tammy Broussard, Heidi’s mother,recently told PEOPLEthat her daughter “was always full of life,” and a bit of a daredevil.
“She always liked to go skydiving,” the grieving mother said. “She tried everything new. We took her to water parks. Me and her went on the highest rides and her daddy was like, ‘I don’t know.’ She loved water. She loved to swim. She loved to go anywhere where they had these rafting places.”
