Authorities described Carey has having a "mental illness."
"She had post-partum depression after having the baby" last August, said the woman's mother, Idella Carey.
She added, "A few months later, she got sick. She was depressed. ... She was hospitalized."
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."
She fit right in at work! No outwardly signs some thing was wrong!
Dr. Steven Oken, her boss of eight years, described Carey as a "non-political person" who was "always happy."
