Amman, Jordan (CNN)The
parents of Kayla Mueller are imploring ISIS to talk to them. They
believe -- or at least hope -- that their daughter may still be alive.
"We have sent you a private message and ask that you respond to us privately," Carl and Marsha Mueller said in a statement.
Until now, they said, they have not talked to the media as ISIS warned them not to.
The
terror group captured Mueller, an Arizona native, in 2013. It said
Friday that a Jordanian airstrike that pounded their de facto capital of
Raqqa in Syria also killed her.
CNN had previously not published her name at the request of her relatives, who have now publicly identified her.
