According to CBS News Investigates, Mian is a U.S. citizen who grew up in Colorado and attended the University of Colorado in Boulder, where she graduated in 2004 with a degree in accounting.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Faisal Shahzad reported his marriage to Mian on Oct. 20, 2008. The couple bought a house together in Shelton, Conn. in 2004.

On Mian's page on the social networking site Orkut.com, she describes herself as "not political," and lists as her passions, "fashion, shoes, bags, shopping!! And of course, Faisal." She names "Friends" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" as her favorite shows, while also stating that she speaks English, Pashto, Urdu and French.

Pictures she posted on Orkut include one of her husband-turned-terror suspect Shahzad, smiling, with the caption, "what can I say ... he's my everything."

Sources tell CBS News Mian was in Qatar as of last month.
