Kayla Meuller [confirmed death?] (1 Viewer)

[Aunt Spiker]

I can't find an article to verify - but a radio host mentioned that Kayla Mueller's death has been confirmed.

You know what I feel about that?

1) If she was actually killed by Jordanian shelling - then it was the most merciful end she ever would have met. I won't hold it against Jordan. Almost a mercy killing, really. Being killed any other way - beheading / crucifixion / burning alive - after being tortured and abused every day - would be by far more horrific.

2) I fear that being killed from Jordanian efforts is not how she died - which is disturbing to say the least.

[edit: it is confirmed - statement released by the White House. http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/02/10/statement-president-death-kayla-jean-mueller

"It is with profound sadness that we have learned of the death of Kayla Jean Mueller. On behalf of the American people, Michelle and I convey our deepest condolences to Kayla’s family – her parents, Marsha and Carl, and her brother Eric and his family – and all of those who loved Kayla dearly. At this time of unimaginable suffering, the country shares in their grief." ]

Just doing a normal search of the usual news suspects there does not appear to be confirmation just yet.

That's how it goes - it's just that fresh - no news sources had it in their queue when I first looked at the start of this post. I had to go straight to the White House for the statement. Which explains why a radio DJ had it before media could address it - he has nothing between him, press releases, and his audience.

Mornin Auntie Mmmmm.

Yep, even their parents confirmed it with BO.

Who is Kayla Jean Meuller?

My first guess is some sort of humanitarian worker.

EDIT

NVM, she's an aid worker.

Tragic, but you have to realize that when someone decides to work there they understand all the risks, and unfortunately for her, the risks caught up to and pretty much killed her.
