Miriam Iris Carey was 34 and a dental hygienist from Stamford, Connecticut. On October 3, 2013, while driving a black Infiniti with her one-year-old daughter in the back, she entered a restricted area near the White House, made a U-turn, and drove away. That maneuver sparked a high-speed pursuit through Washington, D.C., ending near the U.S. Capitol where officers attempted to block her vehicle. Gunfire was reported as she tried to steer away; the car crashed and Carey was found with gunshot wounds. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead; an autopsy later showed she had been shot five times from behind. Her daughter was physically unharmed and placed in protective custody.

A U.S. Attorney’s Office review of the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police actions concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge any officers. Investigators noted Carey had been experiencing mental health problems, including postpartum depression, before the incident. Does anyone have information about Miriam’s last movements that could shed light on what happened that afternoon?
