When Vickie Shreves arrived at the hospital delivery room of close friendHeidi Broussardon Nov. 26 to help with the imminent birth of Broussard’s daughter, she saw another of Broussard’s good friends,Magen Fieramusca, there too.
The two women, along with Broussard’s fiancé, Shane Carey, surrounded the 33-year-old Broussard as she began pushing in labor. Fieramusca stood at Broussard’s right, silently holding the hand of the friend she met years earlier at a Bible institute, recalls Shreves, who was holding up Broussard’s knees.
“Magen was quiet. Somber,” says Shreves. “She wasn’t saying a word to her.”
At 10:12 p.m., Margo Elizabeth Carey was born. Minutes later, Fieramusca “just left quickly,” Shreves tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, on newsstands Friday.

On Dec. 12, a little more than two weeks after Margo’s birth, she and Broussard were reported missing. Last Thursday night, Broussard’sbody was found— allegedly in the trunk of a car at Fieramusca’s Houston-area home.
PEOPLE has been unable to determine if Fieramusca has retained an attorney who could speak on her behalf. She is being held on $600,000 bond.

“It’s so hard,'” says Shreves. “It’s just like, ‘It’s surreal.’ It’s like, ‘This is not happening.'”
Broussard’s mother, Tammy,tells PEOPLEthat what happened to her daughter is “just unfathomable.”
“[Fieramusca} was supposed to be my daughter’s friend,” Tammy Broussard says. “We’re trying to make sense of it. Heidi has so many friends and she was supposed to be Heidi’s friend. Who does that to her friend?”
“But the thing is, I was uneasy with her,” Tammy says of Fieramusca. “And I had [been] from the beginning of her friendship with Heidi.”
Shreves’ daughter, Caressa, and son, Chris Fine, 41, were also close to Broussard. Fieramusca told multiple friends that she had given birth and was settling in as a new mom.
