Alexanda Kotey was an ISIS terrorist from the U.K, who participated in the horrific murders of American hostages in Syria. Kotey was captured by Kurdish militia in Syria in January 2018. Kotey was handed over to American forces in Iraq in 2020 to face trial in the U.S in relation to the killings of: journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller. The ISIS murders were horrific including burning in cages, beheading and worse.

Kotey (pictured left) pled guilty and was sent to Canaan Penitentiary in Pennsylvania to serve a life sentence on eight counts: four of hostage-taking resulting in death; conspiracy to commit hostage-taking resulting in death; conspiracy to murder US citizens outside of the US; conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, hostage-taking and murder, resulting in death; and conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization resulting in death.

Alexanda Kotey is no longer listed in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons.

(Daily Mail) – One of the so-called ‘ISIS Beatles’ serving a life sentence for the torture and murder of western hostages has disappeared from the US prison system.

Alexanda Kotey, 39, is no longer in custody at Pennsylvania’s high-security Canaan prison, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) records revealed.

The Londoner was jailed in America last year after having pleaded guilty in 2021 to eight criminal charges relating to the abduction, torture and beheading of Islamic State hostages in Syria between 2012 and 2015.

[…] Some of the reasons that a prisoner might be listed as being ‘not in BOP custody’ include them being in transit, that they are yet to be processed, that they have been transferred to a halfway house, or that they have been released on parole (unlikely in the case of Kotey as he is serving a life sentence).

It is also possible that Kotey has been taken abroad to assist with investigations into another case. (read more)

Remember the comments that former Acting CIA Director Mike Morell gave about two-weeks ago?

My spidey sense tells me these two datapoints may be connected.
