The woman's attire set her apart from the rest of the rioters and led many on social media to compare her to a character out of a Wes Anderson film.
"I stopped dead in my tracks," said the man, who asked NBC News not to be named to avoid harassment and threats."I'm like, 'That's Jenny.'"
A law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News that the FBI had identified the woman as the man's ex, Jennifer Inzuza Vargas of Los Angeles. At some point"Pink Beret" and Neely met and entered the building together through the Senate Wing doors, the lawyers said, citing images and video taken that day.
The two wander around the building to the Capitol Visitors' Center where"things start to get strange," the filing said."Pink Beret immediately turns around when Neely isn't looking and runs to the escalator shaft. She ducks down and removes her beret and continues up the escalator in a crouched position."
