American held by ISIS moved by suffering of Syrian people

“Syrians are dying by the thousands and they’re fighting just to talk about the rights we have,” the humanitarian worker told The Daily Courier, her hometown paper in Prescott, Arizona, in 2013. “For as long as I live, I will not let this suffering be normal.”

The question now: Is Mueller alive?

Mueller’s parents, Marsha and Carl Mueller, asked for privacy.

“The family of Kayla Mueller request that media cautiously report on her background, work and current situation and limit speculation on her situation and consider the implications for her security before publishing. We ask that you rely upon the details and information provided here.”
