The car was not a home for Carter, however.

“This is my prison,” she told a reporter last month.

That last line really got to me. Poor woman. May she rest in peace. :rose:

Her father was an inventor, and she was assistant to the Dean of Women at Kent State U. She was probably a brilliant woman. It's so sad that she tragically descended into her prison, even with the best mental health support that the community could provide.

The mysteries of mental health continue to allude us.
