'She thought she was Prophet of Stamford and Obama was stalking her': Dental hygienist shot dead after ramming her car into the White House 'had been taking medication for schizophrenia'

 

The mother gunned down yesterday after ramming a White House barrier because she thought President Obama was stalking her was prescribed schizophrenia medication after telling police she was the 'Prophet of Stamford', it emerged today.

Miriam Carey, 34, was taken for a mental health evaluation after an encounter with Connecticut police almost a year ago, in which she claimed to be a prophet and said the President was going to place the city of Stamford under lockdown, according to CBS.

She also believed he had been electronically monitoring her Connecticut home in order to broadcast her life on television like in the movie The Truman Show.

Authorities did not alert the Secret Service about the mother-of-one as they had no evidence she had ever made any kind of threat against Obama.

ABC News reports that cops had twice in 2012 been called by Miriam Carey's boyfriend, who reported the woman was delusional, acting irrationally and putting her infant daughter in danger.

Last night her mother revealed the 34-year-old has suffered from postpartum depression since giving birth to her daughter Erica last year.

These revelations are the first clues as to what led a seemingly happy dental hygienist to snap and drive her Infiniti luxury sedan 270 miles from her home in suburban Stamford to Washington, DC - where her rampage put the nation's capital on lock-down Thursday.

 

Carey's 18-month-old daughter Erica - who was in the back seat - was not injured, despite the Secret Service and U.S. Capitol police firing up to 15 shots into her car.

Little Erica was rescued from the bullet-riddled car after her mother was shot dead. She is currently in the custody of child services workers.

It also emerged today that Carey's friends said she was upbeat and 'normal' until she fell down some stairs and hit her head in April 2012.

When Carey was receiving treatment for the injury in the hospital, she learned that she was pregnant. 

She received a handicapped parking permit because of the injury, but doctors from the medical suite where she worked complained that she was tying up parking in front of the building, according to CBS.

The resulting dispute from this ended with her losing her job.

It emerged today that Carey had been sued by her condominium association for failure to pay fees.

The complaint filed in November by the association for the Stamford building said Miriam Carey had failed to pay her fees in full since August 2010 and owed the association $1,759 in addition to collection costs. 

The lawsuit was settled in February.

The lawsuit by the Woodside Green Association indicates Carey took out a mortgage on her Stamford condo in the amount of $237,616 in September 2009.

Idella Carey told ABC News that her daughter Miriam 'had postpartum depression after having the baby' in August 2012.

'A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed.... She was hospitalized,' Mrs Carey added.

She thought Carey was taking Erica to a doctor's appointment in Connecticut. 

The 34-year-old has five sisters, one of whom is an NYPD officer.

Another, Amy Carey - who is a nurse in Brooklyn - expressed disbelief when told about what happened to her sister by a Washington Post reporter. 

'That's impossible. She works, she holds a job. She wouldn't be in D.C. She was just in Connecticut two days ago,' she said. 'I spoke to her...I don't know what's happening. I can't answer anymore.'

Dentist Barry Weiss told NBC Connecticut that Carey was working for him in January 2012 when she suffered a fall and missed two-to-three weeks of work. 

When she returned she was pregnant but he later fired her in August 2012 after patients complained that she was too rough.

She was not married to the father but 'seemed happy' about the pregnancy, the former boss said.

Authorities said the single-mother had a 'history of mental illness' but did not elaborate. 

Neighbor Erin Jackson told ABC she believed Carey lived in the Stamford home with the baby and the girl's father. 

Asked if she believed Carey suffered from a mental illness, Jackson said 'absolutely' and revealed she had her tires slashed in an incident last year in Connecticut.

Police, including FBI and bomb disposal units, surrounded a home in Stamford on Thursday evening that authorities say is linked to the investigation, but won't give specifics. 

Police there said they were awaiting a search warrant from Washington, though 50 people from the apartment building already were being evacuated for the night.

ISAIAH 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
