The Windsor Hills crash that killed five people, including a pregnant woman, shocked L.A. and left many trying to understand how the woman they knew as a kindhearted nurse could be involved in such a horrific chain of events.
The crash shocked Los Angeles and left many trying to understand how the woman they knew as a kindhearted nurse with aLinton’s family said she has struggled with bipolar disorder since 2018. Few but her closest confidants knew about her diagnosis. Her illness did not stop her from a nursing career that spanned at least five states and eventually brought her to Los Angeles.
But the legal case against her will probably call into question whether more should have been done to monitor her mental health. “She saw me, her brother, her mother, and she kept trying to get in the room,” said Glena, who was visiting Houston from Jamaica at the time. “And they barred her, and that’s when they called the police.”
While there, she slammed her head against a glass partition while ranting about her arrest, claiming she would sue the police and take the case to the Supreme Court, her lawyers said in a bail motion in the Los Angeles case. “If an individual is in an acute state of a psychiatric illness ... manifesting signs of illness that interfere with ‘the ability to maintain minimum standards of professional nursing,’ the individual is ‘practicing while impaired,’” said Madeline Naegle, a professor emerita at New York University’s Meyers College of Nursing.
“She could not log into the system, her monitor would turn off, and she felt like everyone was watching her,” prosecutors wrote in the court filing. “I had visited him earlier that year, and I remember he got up in the middle of the night and woke me up and told me how stressed he was at work,” Linton’s aunt said of her brother. “I remember he said to me sometimes he wished he would just die.”“It’s almost like déjà vu when I talk to Nicole and she says she just needed rest,” Linton’s aunt said.
“Witnesses at the location described defendant as angry, talking nonsense, screaming, chasing the maintenance crew and hitting vehicles driving through the parking lot,” L.A. prosecutors wrote in their motionAfter that episode, Linton’s sister Camille persuaded her to move in with her in Charlotte, N.C. Soon after, Linton decided to begin work as a travel nurse, moving from hospital to hospital around the country as needed.
Numerous family members said these were indicators Linton was possibly headed toward another manic episode.
