“We want to know: Why? What happened?”
So many questions, so much we still don’t know about the case of the woman shot to death by the Secret Service and the U.S. Capitol Police on Oct. 3, 2013, after a car chase from the White House to Capitol Hill. Her 13-month-old daughter survived in a car seat.
“Did we miss something?”
Barbara Nicholson is asking. The office manager of a dental practice in Ardsley, N.Y., is standing in the hygiene room, remembering the woman who used to clean teeth at this chair. Miriam Iris Carey — that was her name. She was one of the best dental hygienists and “one of the nicest people” Nicholson ever hired.
“We’re left with a void and no answers,” Nicholson says. “It’s like she was wiped off the face of the earth.
Nicholson’s voice catches. She pauses and looks away. “She’s missed. She’s very missed.”
Do you remember Miriam Carey? Her remarkably public death at 34 mesmerized us for a couple of news cycles. Then we moved on pretty quickly. I had to look up her name when I first started puzzling over this case. The main thing I remembered was that incredible video — the one showing the two-door black Infiniti surrounded by Secret Service officers with guns drawn near the Capitol Reflecting Pool. The car looks trapped. Suddenly the driver backs into a squad car and accelerates away. There’s the sound of gunfire while tourists take cover on the West Lawn. The Infiniti reappears, making a loop around a traffic circle, and proceeds up Constitution Avenue to what would be the fatal encounter outside the Hart Building.

I forgot all about that one
Cry me a river!
in the hygiene room
who writes this crap ?
Her name was Ashli Babbitt.
Her name was Ashley Babbitt, and she was murdered by a Capitol police officer.
She was mentally deranged.
Yes, Ashley was even more innocent than Miriam.
This took place in 2013, it has no connection to J6
I’ll wait until a trustable news source reports on her.
I remember it well. A terrible thing.
I was thinking about this yesterday . Didn’t last long in the news cycle .
Neither does the recent ICE incident in Minneapolis, but they all highlight what the mainstream media promotes.
“This took place in 2013.”
Thanks for highlighting this. Old news.
I had to read that three times before I realize this wasn’t Mariah Carey.
Short Version: WP dredges up an ancient case with ambiguous details to shift focus away from a case (MN ICE justified shooting) where deadly force was allowed.
Rogue law enforcement officers can’t stop killing innocent (mentally stable LOL) women.
Thank you for saying her name.
No one blames the gun when a LEO shoots someone.
