Family of slain ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller says they secretly met with her captors in Iraq.
The family of Kayla Mueller, a humanitarian worker from Arizona who was held captive, tortured and killed by ISIS, said it brought them great solace to know that the U.S military operation that ended with the death of the terrorist group's leader had been dedicated to her.
Mueller, 26, was on a humanitarian mission in Turkey on Aug. 3, 2013, when ISIS kidnaped her after crossing the Syrian border to visit a hospital. In February 2015, U.S. officials confirmed that she had died while in ISIS custody, but her body was never recovered. "When we talked to Umm Sayyaf, we found we got more information out of her, not just us, the people backing us - they got information from her that neither the Kurds or the US government had got in the two days that we were there," Carl Mueller said."It makes a big difference when you are talking to these people with a humanitarian attitude. We don't care what you did, what you've done - we just want to know what you know about our daughter to bring her home.
The couple said they had filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act to gather more information about how she may have died. The requests were denied, and they're considering taking legal action to receive documents related to her death. Realizing that there was no way out, he detonated a suicide bomb inside of a dead-end tunnel, killing himself and the three children.
