'She Saw Goodness in Everything' : The Death of Kayla

Kayla Mueller's guardians had been holding out trust. 

At the same time on Tuesday, the American ISIS prisoner's family uncovered obliterating news. 

They got it, authorities said, in a message from her captors. 


"We are shattered to impart that we've gotten affirmation that Kayla Jean Mueller has lost her life," the family said in an announcement. "Kayla was a caring and committed humane. She committed the entire of her young life to helping those in need of opportunity, equity and peace." 

ISIS sent the family a private message through the weekend, National Security Council representative Bernadette Meehan said. 

"When this data was confirmed by the knowledge group, they reasoned that Kayla was perished," Meehan said. 

The message sent to the family included photographs. One picture demonstrated her wrapped in an entombment cover, yet there was sufficient indicating for the family and crime scene investigation analysts to recognize her, as per a U.S. authority informed on the matter. 

The new data does not elucidate how 26-year-old Mueller passed on, a law requirement source acquainted with the case said on state of secrecy. 

On Friday, ISIS guaranteed that Mueller - a help laborer caught in northern Syria in 2013 - had been killed in a building hit amid a Jordanian airstrike on Raqqa, the aggressors' true capital in Syria. At the time, ISIS offered no evidence to go down its claim, other than a picture of a building in rubble. 





Be that as it may a White House representative on Tuesday set fault for her passing soundly on ISIS. 

"This was, all things considered, the association that was holding her without wanting to. That implies they were in charge of her security and prosperity, and they are along these lines in charge of her demise," representative Josh Earnest said. 

Affirmation of Mueller's demise drew sympathies and tributes from the nation over and around the globe. In Jordan - where fuming pioneers have pledged requital after ISIS blazed a hostage Jordanian pilot to death - government representative Mohammed Al-Momani communicated "sorrow and annoyance" over Mueller's demise. 

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said he had requested banners at state government structures to fly at half-staff until twilight Wednesday in her respect. 

Talking in Mueller's main residence of Prescott, Arizona, family and companions said they are as yet discovering quality in her apparently endless yearning to help those in need and impart their stories. 

Kathleen Day, a companion of Mueller, read from a blog entry the help laborer wrote in Syria before her catch: "Each person ought to act. They ought to stop this savagery. Individuals are escaping. We can't manage this. It's excessively. I trust you can tell the whole world what I have said here, and what I've seen." 

That, Day said, is the thing that loved ones will do now. 

"They attempted to quiet her. They bolted her up. They kept us quiet out of dread. Be that as it may now she's free, and she says that she discovered flexibility even in imprisonment, and that she is thankful, so her light sparkles," Day told columnists. "Furthermore we thank you for sparkling your light not on Kayla, however sparkle your light on the torment that Kayla saw. What's more how about we tell Syria, we hear you, and we're going to do something."

Salvage endeavors fizzled 

Mueller made it her all consuming purpose to help other people. She moved on from Northern Arizona University in 2009, and worked with philanthropic gatherings in northern India, Israel and Palestinian regions, a family representative said. 

"She had a peaceful, quieting vicinity. She was a free soul, continually remaining up for the individuals who were enduring and needing to be their voice. ... Kayla's calling was to help the individuals who were enduring, whether in her home in Prescott, or on the opposite side of the world," her aunties, Lori Lyon and Terri Crippes, said Tuesday. 

In August 2013, Mueller fell under the control of prisoner takers in Aleppo, Syria, her family said, in the wake of leaving a Doctors Without Borders clinic. 

Her family said ISIS reached them in May with evidence that she was alive. The aggressors in the long run said they would slaughter her if the family didn't pay almost $7 million by August 13, as per a source near to the crew. What happened after that due date is hazy. 

Various salvage and arrangement endeavors to free Mueller fizzled, authorities said. 

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, told CNN's Jake Tapper that he and his staff members attempted to encourage Mueller's discharge on a few events. Arrangements between the family and ISIS at a certain point, he said, included exchange about whether Mueller could be swapped for a detainee being held in Texas who was indicted for contriving with the foe. 

U.S. President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the administration had attempted to free Mueller and different prisoners. 

"We committed colossal assets, dependably commit gigantic assets to liberating prisoners or prisoners anyplace on the planet. What's more I sent a whole operation - at huge danger - to protect her as well as alternate people who had been held, and presumably missed them by a day or two, accurately on the grounds that we had that dedication," Obama said in a meeting with BuzzFeed News. 

Obama has requested a survey of the U.S. prisoner approach, which has been to never arrange with terrorists. Be that as it may the President noted Tuesday that the United States has adhered to its arrangement of not paying payoffs to terrorists. 

"The reason is that once we begin doing that, not just are we financing their butcher of guiltless individuals and reinforcing their association, however we're really making Americans significantly more prominent focuses for future kidnappings," he said. "So its as extreme as anything that I do - having discussions with folks who naturally need, by any methods vital, for their youngsters to be protected. We will do all that we can shy of giving an impetus to future Americans to be gotten." 

Obama called the Mueller family Monday night, a U.S. official said. 

"He submitted that we will perseveringly seek after the terrorists in charge of Kayla's bondage and passing," Meehan said, "and underscored that his group stands prepared to help the family in the troublesome weeks and months ahead." 

Letter gives look into time in bondage 

In a letter discharged Tuesday that Mueller's family said she composed while in bondage the previous spring, the prisoner importuned her family not to wind up devoured by endeavors to free her. 

"I DO NOT need the transactions for my discharge to be your obligation, if there is whatever other choice take it, regardless of the possibility that it takes additional time," the letter said. "This ought to never have turned into your load." 

Parts of the letter sound miserable, depicting the amount she misses her crew. 

Mueller said she could just compose the letter a passage at once. "Simply the prospect of you sends me into attacks of tears," the letter says, and "all things considered at last the one and only you truly have is God." 

Yet she additionally composed that she was battling to survive. 

"I am not separating + I won't give in regardless of to what extent it takes," the letter says. 

"If you don't mind realize that I am in a safe area, totally unharmed + sound (put on weight actually); I have been dealt with w/the most extreme admiration + graciousness." 

The message, Day said, demonstrated that even in jail, Mueller kept on being free. 

Others held hostage with her advised her family and companions Mueller remained on her head as detainees attempted to practice in a little space. What's more she attempted to show the gatekeepers to make specialties, demonstrating to them industry standards to make origami peace cranes. 

"We simply have a great time that," Day said, "realizing that Kayla remained Kayla."
