Family of US aid worker, ISIS captive Kayla Mueller confirms her death

DEVELOPING: The parents of Kayla Mueller, the Arizona woman who was taken hostage by ISIS in August 2013, confirmed Tuesday their daughter died while in the hands of the terror group.

"We are heartbroken to share that we've received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller has lost her life," Carl and Marsha Mueller, of Prescott, Ariz., said in a statement. "Kayla was a compassionate and devoted humanitarian. She dedicated the whole of her young life to helping those in need of freedom, justice, and peace."

The family received information from their daughter's ISIS captors over the weekend that was authenticated, according to U.S. officials.

"The family received a private message from Kayla’s ISIL captors containing additional information," National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said Tuesday. "Once this information was authenticated by the intelligence community, they concluded that Kayla was deceased."

It is not yet known how or when 26-year-old Mueller died. ISIS claimed last week she was killed by a Jordanian airstrike, but offered no immediate evidence.

President Obama issued a statement Tuesday, also acknowledging her death.

Was her kidnapping ever reported on the media?

She went over and knew what was there, but alas because she is a big liberal then the media will make a massive thing out of this and take away from how bozo ignores the threats to America like not calling them Islamic or mentioning the crusades and the threat is not global warming either.

Funny how the media ignored most of this , but now mention it, just like the deserter who ran away, then the media made a big meal over this when he was given to us and now have gone quiet again since we know he is a traitor and we talked to terrorists and let 5 of them go for him.

Once ISIS announced it, air strike or not, it was clearly a done deal.

We don’t need the Wimp-In-Chief telling us he acknowledges her death. Next up is a strongly written letter to whomever and some speeches, then golf.

Muslims have no use for any compassionate and devoted humanitarian.

Yes......and likely a long time ago. She had been in ISIS hands for a year and a half.

I’m sure her captivity was harrowing.

No American should travel over there, unless they are in uniform, heavily armed, in the company of many others like them, and under orders to take out the trash.

She was kidnapped in September 2013, to the best of our knowledge. She was listed as being among American hostages held by ISIS but her name was withheld at the request of her parents which is why the media did not report her specific situation. After ISIS reported her death (convenient and “coincidental” with a Jordanian bombing), it was acknowledged she had been a captive. Likely she had been dead for many months after terrible torture.

Regardless if she was killed by a Jordanian airstrike or directly at the hands of the Islamic State, it is a result of being held captive by the Islamic State. The Islamic State’s evil has been on display for everyone to see. We should draw our conclusions from their actions, not their words. However, we should not ignore their words, even though they are often lies. Example: The Islamic State was holding the Jordanian pilot hostage for ransom. Their words lead us to believe the pilot was alive. As it turns out, the pilot was killed some time ago. The lesson to be learned is that the Islamic State is not an honorable enemy and cannot be trusted. Hence, there should be no negotiating with the Islamic State.

She was performing missionary work and caring for those who were victims of the war in Syria. She appears to have proclaimed a strong faith in God and was a Christian. What evidence do you have that she was politically liberal (i.e. socialist, communist in ideology)

According to Fox news, she was captured along with her Syrian boyfriend. The boyfriend was released, but he could not persuade the captors to release her.
