Kayla Mueller's family and US officials have been confirmed the death of 26-year-old Prescott woman held by Islamic State militants. Four days ago on Friday, the Islamic State had claimed that Mueller died in a Jordanian airstrike.
The letter released by Carl and Marsha Mueller, parents of the late Kayla, consists “I am in a safe location, completely unharmed + healthy”, and “I have been treated w/ the utmost respect + kindness”, the lines telling us that she was probably safe in ISIS hostage, but Jordanian air strike killed her.
The White House said that Mueller's family received a private message from her captors over the weekend and the information contained in that communication was authenticated by the US intelligence community.
In the reportedly said images sent by the captors, Ms. Mueller, who was 26, in a black hijab, or Muslim head covering, that partly obscured her face. Another showed her in a white burial shroud, which is used in traditional Muslim funerals.
"We are heartbroken to share that we've received confirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller, has lost her life," Kayla parents said. "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."
President Barack Obama said that Mueller, who was an aid worker who assisted humanitarian organizations working with Syrian refugees, "epitomised all that is good in our world."
Mueller was taken into captivity in August 2013 while leaving a hospital in Syria.
