It says you have to pay your own way. I wonder who paid Kayla’s way when she joined the ISM.
Also, DailyMail story mentions she went with a boyfriend to Syria. I wonder where the boyfriend is.
Catherine Herridge from Fox, reported that she was traveling with her Syrian boyfriend when the car was forced off the road. Evidently there is evidence that the car was specifically targeted because she was in it. Both she and her boyfriend were taken hostage, but the boyfriend was released by ISIS. It was initially thought he was a part of the kidnapping but later proven not to be the case. At some point he went to ISIS and asked for her release but was refused.
I heard somewhere that her boyfriend was Syrian.
I find this entire story confusing. She was there to support muslims and muslims held her as hostage and she was killed by Jordanians, presumably muslims as well?
Perhaps the boyfriend is like the fellow described in the link below. This link is about a young man who went to Syria because he wanted to live with ISIL and Sharia law. Then he decided to leave. Many comments, few complementary.

My understanding is that her boyfriend is Syrian or Syrian-American, who was also captured. Later released. And underwent much scrutiny by U.S. intelligence/national security officials for obvious reasons. Cleared of anything nefarious. Went to mideast to plead for his girlfriend's life.
