Exclusive | Wigmaker in Brooklyn horror crash got screwed up from teen affair with married NYPD cop, nerdy religious upbringing: childhood friend

She was wigged out from the start.The unhinged Brooklyn wigmaker charged in a horrific fatal crash was an overweight and insecure girl from a “nerdy religious” Jewish family — and got “screwed up” after a teen affair with a married NYPD cop, a childhood friend told The Post.Miriam Yarimi, 32, attended Beit Yaakov Orot Sarah, a religious school for girls just a block from her Midwood home, but frequently strayed from her faith during spates of bizarre and often unstable behavior, former classmate Ahuva Katzin said Thursday.“When I think back, she was sick from very, very young,” Katzin said.
