A 19-year-old suburban Denver woman met an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria fighter online, fell in love, vowed to go to Syria to fight and was arrested by the FBI for as she tried to go overseas, U.S. authorities said.
Shannon Maureen Conley, of Arvada, Colorado, was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, ISIS, after agents arrested her at Denver International Airport on April 8 as she tried to board a flight to Frankfurt, Germany, according to a U.S. criminal complaint and a supporting affidavit. She allegedly had booked connecting flights to Istanbul, Turkey, and then to Adana, Turkey, just a few hours' drive from the Syrian border.
Conley, licensed as a certified nurse's aide in Colorado, according to the affidavit, told investigators that she hoped to meet her online suitor in Syria and reside with him near the Turkish border as his wife and a camp nurse. Her parents told investigators her suitor was a 32-year-old Tunisian man, whose name is redacted in the documents.
"When Conley told the suitor she wants to provide his camp with medical services and training, he told her that was good because they needed more nurses," the affidavit read. "Conley stated that she was aware that her plans were potentially illegal and she could possibly get arrested, and therefore she has no intention to return to the U.S....

There’s another thread on this that has her born in 1996 which would make her 17 or 18. Not 19 as this articles states.
Also there is a photo of her where she looks considerably older tha 17, 18 or 19.
This is a weird story.
Really it seems to be a case of a person with some mental health issues and not some kind of national security issue.
Couldn’t she just be a Democrat and fight America from here like the rest of them do? Has that become too ordinary?
From her picture, I could see why she’d be having a problem finding a boyfriend and decided to settle for a muzzie.
No, they grow them like that there. Boulder especially. No matter who attacked the US, they would work for the other side.
Ahhh, so sweet. I am going to write up a spec script and send it to Lifetime.
Her excuse was that pot is legal now.
She could have helped the Sunni cause better by getting elected as the second Sunni woman American president...
AND she wouldn’t have gotten arrested...
The youth of old was rebellious, the youth of today are just freakin crazy.

This idiot has no idea how she would be treated as a woman in a fundamentalist Muslim society. Or that once in it, she would never be allowed to leave if she changed her mind.
Lol!
Sounds like those stupid women who fall in love with serial murders, and marry them in prison. They have to have some sort of mental illness, or a serious lack of self-esteem.
She’s like those crazy women who fall in love with imprisoned killers. The difference with this one is that she’s going to pay a higher price. If she succeeds in marrying her Muzzie, she’ll spend the rest of her life seeing life through a veil, and as a beaten and abused woman who has given up her citizenship in the greatest country in the world to live with demon-filled people who will hate her and will have absolutely no respect for her. Personally, I feel that if she wants the guy that much, let her go, but with the stipulation she can’t ever come back.
guess she got too much of that Colorado pot and her brain just flipped to stupid mode
What picture?
And frankly, lots of ugly women have relations. I never see anyone judging men for whether they are “guilty” or not. Like to see the terrorist. Probably guilty as hell.
Yeah, they’ll give her free contraception for sure.....
