The Connecticut mom shot dead
Thursday after leading cops on a high-
speed car chase through Washington,
DC, was fixated on President Obama and
convinced he was stalking her, sources
told The Post.
“She definitely had an obsession with
him,” one law-enforcement official said
of Miriam Carey, 34.
The dental hygienist had called herself
the “prophet of Stamford” and claimed
Obama had put the Connecticut city on
lockdown and arranged for her to be
electronically monitored so her life
could be broadcast on TV.
Stamford cops were twice called to
Carey’s home in December by her
boyfriend, Eric Francis, who said she
was delusion and irrational and putting
their baby daughter, Erica, in danger.
The Brooklyn-bred Carey had been
unraveling since at least April 2012,
when she hit her head in a fall, friends
said.
This summer, Carey was clearly
disturbed during visits to her sister
Valarie’s home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a
neighbor told The Post.
“About three months ago, Miriam was
taken away in an ambulance, crying
and rambling that the world is going to
end,” said Jamal Hinez, 25, who has
lived on Valarie Carey’s block for 14
years.
“They wrapped her in something with
straps on the gurney. EMS asked what
was happening, and [Valarie] whispered
in the [EMS] worker’s ear. Miriam was
on the gurney kicking and screaming,
‘The world is going to end. We are all
going to die. It is going to happen.’ ”
“They gave her the needle in her
buttock, and she quieted down. She was
crying,” Hinez recalled. “Valarie was on
the phone complaining about not being
able to cope anymore, [saying], ‘I can’t
keep dealing with this hearing voices
and stuff, this spacing out.’ ”
Miriam Carey’s mother, Idella, said her
daughter suffered from post-partum
depression after giving birth to Erica
last August.
Carey was fatally shot multiple times
near the Capitol by police after running
her black Infiniti sedan over barricades
outside the White House and leading
federal agents and cops on a chase
down Pennsylvania Avenue.
In a search of her Connecticut home
afterward, authorities found
medications used to treat schizophrenia
and depression, CNN reported.
Carey also left a letter addressed to
Francis at her apartment that appeared
to contain white powder, CNN said.
Francis called cops on Carey Dec. 10,
and she told officers the president had
ordered Stamford locked down and
Carey monitored for a television show.
She was taken away in handcuffs and
remanded for a mental health
evaluation, ABC reported.
On Dec. 21, Francis called police again
and said Carey was “off her
medication.” Sources said a state social
worker declared her “100 percent back
to normal” in January.
Stamford Police yesterday would not
immediately release the official reports
of those incidents. A source said the FBI
has asked they not be made public.
Francis — who ran a heating and
cooling company and recently lost his
Hartford-area home to foreclosure —
did not return calls.
He recently opened a restaurant in
Hartford, but was not there yesterday.
Carey’s family went to Washington
Friday to claim her body, friends said.
She had recently been spending much
time with her sister in Brooklyn,
neighbors said.
“This past winter, Miriam was outside
without a coat, and her sister had to
coax her to go inside and put one on,”
Hinez said.
“Valarie was talking to her like she was
a 3-year-old. Miriam’s hair was wild,
and she looked timid. She seemed like
she didn’t understand, like she couldn’t
make the connection with putting a
coat on.”
“Miriam sometimes would speak in
half-sentences as if her mind would be
wandering all over. She would start on
one topic and end with another.”
Carey’s mom said she didn’t know why
her daughter traveled to DC and said she
thought she had been taking Erica to a
doctor’s appointment in Stamford.
