Kayla Mueller Honored By Hometown With Candlelight Vigil

Friends, family and the townsfolk of Prescott in Arizona trooped to the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza on Wednesday evening for a candlelight vigil in memory of Kayla Mueller, the 26-year-old international humanitarian worker who was captured by the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) and killed in the Jordanian air strikes against the terrorist group.

The doe-eyed Kayla, described as a saint by everyone who knew her, was working with the Danish Refugee Council and Support to Life agency as an aid worker assisting Syrian refugees crossing the Turkish border. In August 2013, she traveled to Aleppo in northern Syria, where she was abducted by ISIS terrorists as she was leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital.
