Baby Margo reunited with father days after being found with mother's body

Shane Carey is the father of Margo Carey, who was found after being missing for a week. Her mother Heidi Broussard was found dead near a Houston-area home.

3-month-old Margot Carey has been reunited with her father Shane Carey Tuesday after she was found near a Houston-area home on Dec. 19.

Baby Margo and her mother Heidi Broussard disappeared from Austin on Dec. 12. A welfare check on a home in the Houston area resulted in Margo's recovery and the discovery of Broussard's body in the trunk of a vehicle. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences reports the cause of death for Broussard is 'ligature strangulation'.

Broussard's "friend", Magen Fieramusca, has been charged with two counts of kidnapping and one count of tampering with a human corpse. Fieramusca was transferred to Travis County over the weekend. There is no murder charge at this time.
