Miriam Carey was dating someone while she was working at a clinic in Connecticut, it was during that time she got pregnant; Francis is believed to be the father of her two-year-old baby girl Erica.

According to ABC News reports Eric has said Miriam was so delusional he called the cops on her twice last year and said she was off her meds and endangering their infant daughter. Eric who is a 54-year-old man, told police he believed his daughter was in danger and that Carey was emotionally disturbed. Eric’s worst nightmare came true on Thursday.

He has been described by neighbors as “a heavy-set guy in his 40’s”

On Dec. 21, Francis again called police to report his girlfriend was “off her medication” and acting erratically. In January, a state social worker met with the couple and Francis told the social worker that Carey was “100 percent back to normal.”

But she clearly wasn’t, according to sources Carey believed she was the “prophet of Stamford” and was capable of communicating with Obama. Her family is headed to Washington to claim her body and take custody of her daughter.
