Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
Stolen Baby: The Murder of Heidi Broussard is based on a true story of best friends Magen (Emily Osment, Young Sheldon, The Kominsky Method, Hannah Montana) and Heidi (Anna Hopkins, The Expanse) who have known each other for a decade. Pretending to be pregnant at the same time as her friend, Magen makes the journey from Houston to Austin to be by Heidi’s side once she learns she is ready to give birth. However, when Heidi goes missing with her newborn daughter just a few weeks after giving birth, suspicions about Magen’s loyalty and her true intentions are questioned. Authorities begin to suspect that she is hiding a huge secret as they begin to uncover her twisted and elaborate plan. Ian Lake (Locke & Key, Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story) and Briar Nolet also star.
My Thoughts
Best friend betrayal is one of the hallmarks of the Lifetime Movie. Add to that this movie is based on a true crime and you have a bonafide potential Lifetime classic. Emily Osment seems like a better fit for Lifetime rather than Hallmark. I’m hoping she nails this role and we get some iconic scenes/dialogue. Pour it up!
