Fascinating D.C. Murder Mystery Stranger By The Day

‘C’mon, it’s not complex. It’s just bizarre’

WASHINGTON — As a former New York Police Department officer, Eric Sanders knows exactly how investigations work.

That’s why the attorney for the family of Miriam Carey is so puzzled.

On June 3, it will be eight months since the 34-year-old mother from Stamford, Connecticut, apparently made a wrong turn into a White House checkpoint, tried to make a U-turn, then was chased, shot in the back and killed by uniformed Secret Service officers and U.S. Capitol Police in the shadow of the Capitol.

But, after all this time, the official investigation still has not been released.

In fact, since the initial news conference on Oct. 3, no one in authority has even attempted to explain why Carey was killed or what happened that day to cause the Capitol to go into lockdown.

“It’s just bizarre. What’s so complex about this incident? It’s a police shooting. You know who the parties are. You know who discharged their weapons. I mean, c’mon, it’s not complex. We should have known within in a week or two. I don’t understand what’s taking so long,” Sanders told WND.

No one has given a reason for the immense delay, not the Capitol Police, not the Secret Service, not the D.C. Metropolitan Police and not Attorney General Eric Holder. The 87 members of Congress WND contacted do not appear interested in launching an inquiry.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, which is reviewing the investigation concluded months ago by the D.C. Metro Police, told WND, “The matter remains under review, and we have no further comment at this time.”

It is the same response WND has regularly received from that office since it began reviewing the report, months ago.

Are authorities just hoping people will forget about the story and it will go away from lack of publicity?

Sanders vowed it won’t go away “until there is some kind of resolution. You just can’t leave it open.”

The attorney confirmed authorities are not actually obligated to release the report, although he did say it is standard practice.

“They do have to have a finding, after all, this is very political. It doesn’t make any sense not to have a finding that’s public.”

He expressed disappointment his clients still had not heard from Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice, noting, “We made an inquiry. We should get something.”
