Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after unconfirmed reports announced the death of a Prescott, Arizona resident, Kayla Mueller, that had been kidnapped by ISIS in Syria:

“I am deeply concerned about the recent allegations of Prescott's own Kayla Mueller, kidnapped by ISIS terrorists in August of 2013. However, in the interest of the family and of the investigation, it is important to wait for the intelligence community to gather more information before making any conclusions. My staff and I have been in close communication with the State Department, and I will continue to monitor the ongoing situation.”
