As first tonight new developments in an
Austin murder case that gripped the nation,
the Cavu defenders have
learned that Megan Fieramosca,
who's accused of killing Heidi
Broussard and kidnapping her baby,
has reached a plea deal with prosecutors.
Confirmation of that agreement coming
from the Travis County District
Attorney's Office and her attorney today.
Is here with more
Tony, Brian and Ashley. Now.
Under the terms of this plea deal,
Farrah Mooska will be sentenced
to 55 years in prison.
Heidi Broussard and her baby Margot
Carey vanished December 12th, 2019,
sparking a frantic search that
drew national attention days later.
That search came to an end near
Houston when police found baby Margo,
and after a search of the property,
they found Broussard's body in Farrah
Mooska's car, authorities say.
Aramusha had staged an elaborate hose,
faking a pregnancy and planning to
tell people that the child was hers.
Police have said that Broussard and
Farrah Mooska were dear friends and
witnesses told police that they had been
together the day that Broussard disappeared.
In a statement,
the DA's office says, quote,
we hope this outcome brings some closure
and allows the Broussard and Kerry families
to continue their healing process.
Our hearts continue to break for them and
they're immeasurable loss and in a separate.
Statement,
Ferramosca's attorney said.
Quote, I imagine many have questions
that will never be adequately answered.
Nonetheless,
I hope that this plea brings some
closure to this family's great loss.
A court date has been set from one
week from today at 1:00 PM for
the plea to officially be entered.
And at that time,
Heidi Broussard's family will
have the chance to address Farrah
Mooska and what officials call a
victim impact statement.
We did reach out to her family today,
but we did not hear back back.
To you. All right.
That's Tony Pluhowsky in
the studio for us tonight.
Tony, thank you.
