Family: Miriam Carey, woman killed, suffered post-partum depression
WASHINGTON (ABC) — A woman killed by police Thursday after a high-speed chase through Washington, D.C., that led to a lockdown of Capitol Hill suffered post-partum depression following the recent birth of her daughter, the suspect’s mother told ABC News.
The woman was believed to be Miriam Carey, 34, a dental hygienist from Stamford, Conn. Carey had a 1-year-old daughter named Erica, her mother said. Police confirmed that a 1-year-old girl was taken from the car and put in “protective custody.”
Idella Carey said her daughter had “no history of violence” and she did not know why she was in Washington, D.C. She said she believed Carey was taking the little girl to a doctor’s appointment today in Connecticut.
Dr. Steven Oken, her boss of eight years, described Carey as a “non-political person” who was “always happy.”
