Just an All American Muslim Nicole Lynn Mansfield was

Just an All American Muslim. Wasn't that TV show removed off the air because of Muslim Lies about them being so true to all Americans? Not to all Americans but  true to Muslim Americans only.
This Mansfield Family are a bunch of liars. This Muslim woman Nicole Lynn Mansfield knew exactly what she was going into and thought she would be the carrier for Islam. She knew Syria was a war Zone and if she was in Turkey she could have left easily. If she really wanted to help the Syrians she could have gone to Israel and volunteered in Hospital Units that are set up close to the boarders where the Citizens of Syria are running to for medical treatment. But her main purpose of the trip was to fight and when the fighting got rough   she got shot.
In my late husband's office we had a lovely lady who married a Muslim and converted. Right after she converted to Islam for this Muslim who was from Palestine she came in to pick up her records. She said she was sorry but she now had to obey her husband or she was going to get a beating. She transferred to a Muslim doctor who had his Animal Hospital in a garage behind his house. Her animal was sick and the medication we were giving it was keeping it alive. The dog died after not receiving the medication for 4 months since this Muslim Vet told her nothing was wrong with the dog.

I saw her on the street and she told me I can not talk to you since you are Jews and sooner or later I will have to kill you since you are Jews and don't believe in Islam. This is your all American Muslim Terrorist, a home grown and this was before 9/11. What I learned she from her parents she was taken to Palestine and joined Hamas to kill Israelis. They had her strapped in with a suicide belt on and blow herself up. Shame she killed other people but look at it this way. She didn't blow up Israelis but other Palestinians and that means there are less Muslims there who are American Converts Terrorist to Islam.

The American woman who was shot dead in Syria accused of being an Al Qaeda supporter married a Muslim man in a sham wedding for which she was paid cash and a van, MailOnline can reveal.

Nicole Mansfield entered in a 'deal' with Ayman Mohammed Bafil under which they would stay together until he got a green card.

The pair met online, never lived together and did not even consummate their marriage - but after his papers came through he paid her what he owed.

A more recent picture taken of Nicole with her grandfather: Some years later she met and married an Arab man and converted to Islam

Nicole Lynn Mansfield was shot dead by Syrian government forces along with two other Westerners - reportedly both British - The 33-year-old is from Flint, Michigan and converted to Islam several years ago following marriage to an Arab man

Records show that the couple were married in July 2010 but divorced in August 2011 when she apparently learned that he had another family.

It was Nicole's second marriage having previously wed when she was 24 though it later fell apart.

Nicole's motives for helping out Mr Bafil are unclear but around the time they met she became interested in Islam and became a Muslim.

Speaking to MailOnline, Nicole's grandmother Carole said that she disapproved of her marriage to the Middle Eastern man, who she claimed was living in Toronto at the time.

This close up picture shows a British passport (left) and the passport of Nicole Lynn Mansfield (right) - who both died in a gunfight with Syrian government forces

Carol said: 'It was a deal. They didn't live together and they didn't consummate their relationship.
'She told us she got a van. I don't know know how new it was or if it was nearly new. She said that she got the van and some change.

'The van is at her friend's house, I believe.

'It was arranged, not arranged, it was a marriage of convenience. He got his green card and she got a van.'

 

One of Nicole's close friends, Tasha Williams, said Nicole called in mid-May to say she would be returning on a flight from Turkey to the U.S. in a few days after traveling to Syria to see a man.
She wanted to be picked up at the Cincinnati airport.

Williams said: 'She said she was in a hotel room. She needed to get away from everything. I never heard from her again'.

Daughter Triana Jones sobbed today as she defended her mother and condemned those responsible for the pictures: 'The first time I saw them I had to look again because I didn't even recognize her. I had to look again'

Daughter: Triana Lynn Mansfield, right, took to Facebook on Friday to blame the Syrian government for her mother's death while denying her accused ties to terrorism

Nicole Mansfield: With her wide-eyed innocence and angelic smile, it is difficult to imagine this little girl from Michigan would be gunned down on a Syrian street less than 30 years later

The allegations came as the daughter of the American woman who was gunned down in a street in Syria, accused of being part of an al-Qaeda influenced group, said her mother is not a terrorist and only went there to help the Syrians.

On Wednesday, Nicole Lynn Mansfield, from Michigan, became the only American known to have been killed fighting in Syria, where 70,000 people have died in a two-year civil war.

While pictures of the 33-year-old, who converted to Islam several years ago after marrying an Arab man, were broadcast from TV stations and images of her bloodied body circulated the internet, FBI agents delivered the news to her family.

Her daughter Triana Jones sobbed today as she defended her mother and condemned those responsible for the pictures.

'The first time I saw those pictures I had to look again because I didn't even recognize her. I had to look again,' Jones told CNN. 

'I looked at her body and her feet and her hands and her nose and her mouth and I knew it was her.

'It makes me mad that they are over the Internet...I shouldn't have to see my mother's body like that.

'There are people calling her a CIA agent and a terrorist. She was an American woman misguided by people who had good intentions but were extreme about it and didn't need to be. 

'It really makes me sick to my stomach that people post such horrible things. I know that she was talking to people online and that they told her about the project in Syria. And that she was interested in going over there to help. 

'She didn't think it would be fighting, she told me there wouldn't be no guns or anything. She would never be involved in that.

'And they lied to her. They misled her and took her over there and probably paid for her ticket and everything and they kept her there.'

She qualified to CNN that the 'project' was 'to help free the Syrians from the Syrian government and all the problems that they're having over there'.

Jones said her mother told her last week that she wouldn't be home for a few weeks because someone stole her ID - the same ID that was flashed on TV screens last night with the picture of Mansfield wearing a hijab and headscarf.

Family: Nicole as a baby with her father, left, and grandparents

Innocent: Smiling at the camera, flanked by her parents and holding her doll with her loving family surrounding her

Beliefs: Nicole, pictured with her granddad, would tell people 'that the best way of life was to be a Muslim. And that women should wear scarves...women should always cover their head'

Mansfiled was gunned down with two others - believed to be British Muslims - during a confrontation in the northwestern city of Idlib. 

All three have been accused of being fighters for a group opposed to Syria's government.

Television footage showed a black car riddled with bullets and three bodies laid out also with multiple gunshot wounds.

The MailOnline has seen these images but is not publishing them.

Other images shown on Syrian state television include an alleged cache of weapons the three were carrying, a hand drawn map of a government military facility and a flag belonging to the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front.

Nicole's father Gregory also revealed today that he told the FBI about his daughter several years ago when she left the U.S. and told them to take away her passport.

When asked why he thought his daughter going abroad was disturbing enough to warrant notifying the FBI, Gregory refused to explain and would only say his worries concerned 'Israel'.

'I just knew in my heart that something wasn't right. They need not let her go on that way. But my feelings and intuition was right,' he said.

'I know [the FBI] did follow up because they were following her for a while. But they needed to revoke her passport and this would not be going on.'

Concerns: Nicole's father Gregory also revealed today that he told the FBI about his daughter several years ago when she left the U.S. and told them to take away her passport

With her father: Yesterday two FBI agents traveled to see Mansfield's family members and confirmed to them their relative was dead after Syrian state television broadcast images of her passport on Wednesday

Reflect: Her grandmother said Nicole attended Mott Community College and worked as a home health care worker for 10 years. She dropped out of high school when she fell pregnant

Mansfield's aunt Monica Speelman confirmed that her niece had met an Arab man several years ago and become a Muslim and soon started wearing a hijab and headscarf. 

Even after the couple divorced, she was adamant that Islam was the right choice for her.

'I am sick over it,' said the deceased woman's aunt 'I didn’t think she was (a terrorist), but God only knows.' She did not know why Mansfield would have been in Syria.

She told people 'that the best way of life was to be a Muslim. And that women should wear scarves...women should always cover their head,' Nicole’s grandmother, Carole Mansfield, 72, told the Free Press.

She said she last saw her granddaughter in December and believed she went to Syria to help 'settle the problems of the world', adding that the Mansfield family 'are true blooded Americans'.

Her daughter took to Facebook today to defend her mother, claiming she was a 'regular American woman who was misguided by the people'.

Triana blamed the Syrian government for her mother's death while denying her accused ties to terrorism.

'She was just a regular American woman who was misguided by the people who just wanted to use her because she’s American,' she wrote. 'How did her ID end up on national television? They forced her to stay and die for media publicity.' 

Defense: Nicole's daughter Triana Lynn Mansfield took to Facebook today to defend her mother, pictured, claiming she was a 'regular American woman who was misguided by the people'

Nicole Lynn Mansfield grew up in Flint, Michigan, to Baptist parents. Her father used to be a production worker for GM.

She attended Mott Community College and worked as a home health care worker for 10 years, according to her grandmother.

She dropped out of high school when she fell pregnant with Triana, who is now 18-years-old. 

'She had a heart of gold, but she was weak minded,' Mansfield said. 'I think she could have been brain washed.'

Records showed that Mansfield lived in an apartment complex at a different address from her home on Longway Boulevard, according to MLive. An eviction notice was posted on the door dated May 21, 2013. 

She is reported to have paid $475 per month, for the three-bedroom apartment  since October 8, 2012 but was believed to be secretly subletting it not long after.

Mansfield was reported to be traveling with two other unidentified Westerners, both British citizens, when forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad opened fire.

Syrian state television claimed that the three were fighting with al-Qaeda affiliated rebels and were carrying weapons when they opened fire.

'As we do in all such cases, we are working through our Czech protecting power in Syria to obtain more information, and we appreciate the efforts of the Czech mission on behalf of our citizens,' a U.S. official said.

He added that U.S. authorities could not comment further 'because of privacy considerations.'

Proud: One of the pictures on Mansfield's Pinterest page which is filed in an album called 'Hometown Love Naver Die'

A Pinterest account belonging to a Nicole Mansfield from Flint, Michigan, is believed to belong to the 33-year-old.

She was active on the site until ten weeks ago. Of her 13 followers, several are people from Michigan who have converted to Islam.

Her interests on the site almost illustrate the story of a normal American woman, proud of where she came from, who also had an interest in Islam.

Many of the pictures she has put up are of puppies, birds, food and places she would like to go. There is a folder called 'Islam' which are mainly stock images of mosques, people worshiping and the holy city of Mecca.

Another album called Hometown Love Never Die shows several pictures of Flint, including Vernor's ginger ale company,  a 'Coney dog' - a Michigan variation of the chili dog - and in recognition of Michigan's doomed economy, one image shows a large stone that reads: 'God help save us Flint.'

A woman who claimed to be Nicole's best friend hinted that all was not right in a post on her MySpace page four years ago, pleading with her to come to Indiana.  

It said: 'Yeah and as your best friend I sometimes get disappointed cause I see you need to make changes in your life and I see in your heart that you really want to but things are holding you back, things that can live without you for a minute while you prosper in life, if everything is true to you when you leave it behind they and it will be there when you come back, so YOU NEED TO MOVE YOUR ASS TO INDIANA AND START FRESH!'

The Nuts and Bolts of Katherine O Russell Tsarnaev

It seems as though Katherine's friends or attorney's are trying to block any news about her through my IP address, But there are other channels I can find this Katherine O Russell Tsarnaev report. Now lets go over the facts.
1. Yesterday I was very confused on where the bombs were made, Because of the back pack of supplies it lead me to believe it was the brother's Dzhokhar apartment. But now it comes out it was Katherine's apartment. And she claims she knew nothing about this.
2. She called Tamerlan and told him the FBI was looking for him for the bombing But she knew nothing about him making the bombs while she lived in the apartment then packed up her kid and ran to her parents to make up a story.
I am wondering what kind of parent would allow fireworks in the house with a toddler yet alone bombs. 
3 She claims Tamerlan brain washed her. Did Tamerlan mother brain wash Katherine when she went shoplifting also? This brain wash thing does not hold water with me.
Katherine tell the real story. You bought the pressure cookers You were the only one working. You bought the fireworks, you bought the petroleum gel for the sealing of the pressure cooker, you bought nuts and bolts as well as beebees, Your not sorry. Your sorry you were caught. What difference if your child grows up without a father  There are parents who lost their children and a wife who lost her husband. People who lost their legs.
Your husband was killed by the hands of his own brother so go blame him for the death, I blame you for your hand and act in this. Your child regardless of where she grows up will be known as a child of the terrorist who bombed Boston.


This furneral I wont mind WestBoro Nut and Bolts Church Demonstrating stating he is going to hell!  Bring it on Westboro.

Boston bomber's widow stops cooperating with authorities as it emerges the female DNA found on bomb is NOT hers

• Katherine Russell spoke to Tamerlan Tsarnaev in the hours after the FBI released images of him, but she will not reveal what they discussed
• Fingerprints and DNA found on at least one bomb does not belong to her
• Authorities 'skeptical about her insistence she had nothing to do with it'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Katherine Russell, the widow of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, has stopped co-operating with authorities as it emerged female DNA found on one of the detonated bombs does not belong to her.

Tsarnaev, who was later killed in a gunfight with authorities, called his wife in the hours after the FBI released surveillance images of him and his younger brother, Dzhokhar.

But only Russell knows what was said in the conversation, as she has stopped cooperating with authorities over recent days, the New York Times reported.

Authorities are skeptical of her insistence that she played no role in the attack or in helping the brothers escape the authorities following the release of the photographs, the Times reported.

Staying silent: Katherine Russell, the wife of Boston bomber suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, leaves her lawyer's office with attorney Amato DeLuca on Monday. She has reportedly stopped cooperating with authorities

A source told CNN that the bombs were built in the apartment that Tsarnaev shared with Russell and their three-year-old daughter.

Her silence comes as sources told the newspaper that the fingerprints and female DNA found on at least one of the bombs did not belong to her. Authorities had taken a sample from her this week.

• Teachers tell of their terror when masked gunmen storm meeting and begin shooting blanks in school emergency test they were NOT told about

Spokesman Jason Pack confirmed that agents investigating the Boston bombings visited the North Kingstown home of Russell's parents, where Tsarnaev's widow has been staying since the attacks.

An official had revealed that female DNA was found on at least one of the bombs, although investigators haven't determined whose it is or whether it means a woman helped the two suspects.

Her lawyer says Russell denies any involvement in the bombings, but authorities are still working to establish what exactly she knew - if anything - before or after the April 15 attacks.

On Wednesday, attorney Amato DeLuca insisted Russell 'will continue to meet with law enforcement, as she has done for many hours over the past week, and provide as much assistance to the investigation as she can'.

Russell met Tamerlan while she was a student at Suffolk University, according to her lawyer. She converted to Islam and they married in 2010 before having a daughter, now three.

Her husband was killed on April 18 following a shoot out with police in Watertown. Investigators say his younger brother hit him with a car as he fled the scene.

Body: A vehicle believed to be carrying Tsarnaev's body backs into an underground garage at the Dyer-Lake Funeral Home in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. His family claimed his body on Thursday

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was caught the following day as he was found hiding in a boat in a backyard.

Tsarnaev's cause of death could be released on Friday. The state medical examiner's office will go public with that information once the funeral home files a death certificate.

Russell, who has been living with her parents in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, learned this week that the medical examiner was ready to release his body and wanted it released to his family.

Department of Public Safety spokesman Terrel Harris said a funeral home retained by Tsarnaev's family picked up the remains. He said he had no more information about plans for the body.

Tsarnaev's uncle Ruslan Tsarni, of Maryland, said Tuesday night the family would take the body.

Changed: Russell, pictured left in high school and right following the bombings, met Tamerlan while she was a college student but dropped out when she fell pregnant. She converted to Islam for him

'Of course, family members will take possession of the body,' Tsarni said. 'We'll do it. We will do it. A family is a family.'

The April 15 bombing, using pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails, ball bearings and metal shards near the marathon's finish line, killed three people and injured more than 180 others.

Russell's attorneys have previously said she and her family were in shock when they learned of the allegations against her husband and brother-in-law, Dzhokhar.

Aint that a kick in the A$$ America these Muslim Bombers on WELFARE! This seems to be the MO of these Muslims to drain the system dry with their many families. This is not only happening here in America but all over. Here it is in Australia Muslim Leeches draining the welfare system.

Boston bombing suspects' family 'has received more than $100,000 in U.S. welfare benefits'

• Bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, received welfare up until 2012
• Benefits include cash, food stamps and housing assistance
• Details of the benefits are contained within more than 500 documents handed over to state officials on Monday 

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 21:51 EST, 29 April 2013 | UPDATED: 21:51 EST, 29 April 2013

 The family of the Boston bombing suspects has received more than $100,000 in welfare benefits over the last decade, according to the Boston Herald. 

Details of the benefits - which included cash, food stamps and housing assistance - are contained within more than 500 documents that were handed over from Massachusetts welfare officials to a committee of state lawmakers on Monday.

The documents have not been released publicly, but a person who has reviewed them told the Herald that the 'breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning.'

In need: Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, left on April 20 in Cambridge, and her husband, right in 2009, began receiving welfare shortly after the birth of their daughter 

Example: The suspects' parents Zubeidat, left, and Anzor, right both at a news conference on Thursday in Dagestan, Russia, also received federal and state welfare benefits when they lived in the U.S. 

The Herald also spoke to Massachusetts Rep. David Linsky about the documents, who promised a thorough review of the assistance that the family received. 

'I can assure members of the public that this committee will actively review every single piece of information we can find because clearly the public has a substantial right to know what benefits, if any, this family or individuals accused of some horrific crimes were receiving,' said Linsky, the committee’s chairman.

• FBI agents search Rhode Island home of Boston bomber's widow and 'take sample of her DNA after that of a woman is found on one of the devices'

It has been previously reported that deceased Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his wife Katherine relied on food stamps and public assistance from 2011 to 2012, soon after they became parents.

Last Friday, the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance detailed how the couple received food stamps from September 2011 to November 2012. 

The couple, who married in June 2010, are believed to have become parents to their daughter, Zahara, in 2011, in the months before they began receiving the aid.

First born: Tamerlan and Katherine's daughter Zahara, pictured this week with her grandmother Judith Russell in Rhode Island, is believed to have been born in 2011

In addition to food stamps, the young family also benefited from TAFDC (Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children), a program for low income parents with dependent children.

• FBI agents search Rhode Island home of Boston bomber's widow and 'take sample of her DNA after that of a woman is found on one of the devices'

TAFDC is paid out twice a month and can be directly deposited into a recipient's bank account. 

The assistance was paid to Katherine, since a person must be a U.S. citizen, or eligible non-citizen, to receive the aid. 

Welfare benefits paid to the Tsarnaevs

Food Stamps:

Oct. 2002 to Nov. 2004: Tsarnaev parents (Anzor and Zubeidat) received food stamps

Aug. 2009 to Dec. 2011: Tsarnaev parents (Anzor and Zubeidat) received food stamps

Sep. 2011 to Nov. 2012: Katherine Russell Tsarnaev received food stamps

Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (TAFDC): 

Jan. 2003 to March 2003: Tsarnaev parents (Anzor and Zubeidat) collected TAFDC money

Aug. 2009 to June 2010: Tsarnaev parents (Anzor and Zubeidat) collected TAFDC money

Sept. 2011 to Nov. 2012: Katherine Russell Tsarnaevcollected TAFDC money

While the couple took the government aid, the 24-year-old Rhode Island native would sometimes clock as many as 80 hours a week while her unemployed husband stayed at home.

Ultimately his wife's income made the couple ineligible for welfare and they stopped receiving state money in November 2012.

Welfare officials have been forced to divulge details of the aid that was paid out to the family of the bombing suspects.

Mass. Gov. Patrick Deval told state agencies last week that they should not discuss the details of what government assistance Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had received, citing privacy concerns.

Welfare information is not available for public release unless the person in question provides their consent, but it is available to lawmakers. 

Massachusetts State Rep. David Linsky called on the state's Department of Transitional Assistance to provide him with the information. 

Linksy issued an ultimatum on Thursday to welfare officials, giving them 24 hours to provide the information.

The letter from Rep. Linsky was provided to the Boston Herald.

'My office is working to fully comply with your request,' DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan wrote in his report to Rep. Linsky, saying they were only providing a summary 'given the great interest in this matter.'

In addition to the aid paid out to Tamerlan and his wife, both alleged bombers had benefited from welfare since their parents Anzor and Zubeidat Tsarnaev collected foodstamps and TAFDC - from 2002 to 2004 and again in 2009 to 2011.

Breadwinner: Lawyers for Katherine Russell (pictured in high school yearbook photos) said the 24-year-old mother worked tirelessly as a home healthcare aid to support her young family. Her husband was unemployed

Since the Tsarnaevs are Chechen immigrants, some wondered why they received aid. But the state agency explained that they were considered eligible for the public assistance. 

'The Tsarnaev parents were eligible to receive benefits as legal, non-citizen residents who were granted asylum status and met the basic eligibility criteria for DTA, including household income levels, presence of dependent children and other factors,' the DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan said in a letter addressed to David Linsky, Chairman of the House Post Audit and Oversight Committee.

The Herald had reported that sources who knew Tamerlan said that though he sported a flashy appearance, he failed to earn very much money for his family and was essentially a stay-at-home dad.

His younger brother, on the other hand, has been described as more entrepreneurial.

Family: Zubeidat Tsarnaev, center with Tamerlan, and the child's father, Anzor, left, received state aid multiple times from 2002 to 2011 (pictured with an uncle Muhamad Suleimanov (right) in an undated photo)

Dzhokhar, who was a sophomore at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, attended the school on a scholarship and earned petty cash selling marijuana, sources told the Boston Globe. 

Investigators are scrutinizing the brothers' source of income, as they probe whether the pair received outside assistance for their attack, either from a radical group or foreign government.

Security experts have noted though that the modus operandi was relatively cheap, estimating that the materials for each of the pressure cooker bombs used at the Boston Marathon attack could have cost a total of $100 each. 

Tamerlan, 26, died early on April 19 after a shoot-out with police in Watertown, Mass. His 19-year-old brother was captured late on April 19 after an extensive manhunt.

FBI agents have today visited the Rhode Island home of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's wife Katherine Russell reportedly to take a sample of her DNA after traces of a woman were found on one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks.

Spokesman Jason Pack confirmed that agents investigating the Boston bombings visited the North Kingstown home of Russell's parents, where Tsarnaev's widow has been staying since the attacks.

According to The Wall Street Journal, agents went to the house today to collect a DNA sample from Russell in a bid to rule out her involvement in the bombings.

An official close to the case told the newspaper that female DNA has been found on at least one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks. Though investigators haven't determined whose DNA it is or whether the DNA means a woman helped the two suspects carry out the bombings.

Evidence: Agents emerged from the house with several bags of evidence, pictured

Pack said the FBI visited the house as part of its investigation into the April 15 blasts, which killed three people and injured hundreds more. 

'The FBI is there as part of our ongoing investigation, but we aren't permitted to discuss specific aspects of our case,' the agency said in a statement.

Her attorneys have previously said she and her family were in shock when they learned of the allegations against her husband and brother-in-law, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a gun battle with police while surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction.

No one has yet come to claim Tsarnaev's body, which is in the custody of the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, said Department of Public Safety spokesman Terrel Harris. 

The medical officer has determined a cause of death, but won't release the information until the body has been claimed, Harris told The Boston Globe.

DNA: An official close to the case told the newspaper that female DNA has been found on at least one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks

Russell, 24, converted to Islam before marrying Tsarnaev and having his child. 

MailOnline revealed last week that she was arrested in 2007 for stealing $67 worth of clothing from an Old Navy store in Warwick, Rhode Island.

And in an intriguing twist, Russell, who was 18 at the time, told officers she was married though she was living at her parent’s North Kingstown home and did not meet Tsranaev until some two years later.

The revelation raised fresh questions over the past and character of the 'all-American girl' 'brainwashed' according to some, by her fanatic husband.

Russell was arrested along with an unnamed female minor on 26 June 2007. Then, according to a police report, she was 'skinny' with hazel eyes and red or auburn hair – now firmly concealed by the Hijab. She is described as unemployed and married.

Search: FBI agents, pictured today, have searched the Rhode Island home of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's wife Katherine Russell, carting away several bags

Investigation: Spokesman Jason Pack confirmed that agents investigating the Boston Marathon bombings went to the North Kingstown home of Russell's parents, where Tsarnaev's widow has been staying since the attacks

Old Navy store security guard Linda Lewis stopped the girls having watched Russell and her companion enter the store, select several items and put them in their handbags.

In 2011 Tamerlan’s mother, Zubeidat was charged with stealing several designer dresses worth $1600 from a store in suburban Natick.

Russell took just five items valuing $67; her friend took three with a total item of $125.

She was placed in handcuffs and taken to Warwick Police Department.

According to the store Loss Prevention Agent Lewis: 'They admitted to shoplifting the items and handed the over without further incident.'

Russell was summonsed to appear at Kent County Courthouse where her charge was dismissed on paying a $200 fine and doing community service.

Family: Russell was 18 when she was arrested - before her future mother-in-law, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, right, was arrested for allegedly stealing $1,600 worth of goods from a different clothing store

That fall Russell enrolled in a Communications course at Suffolk University, Boston, an act that led to her meeting Tsranaev in a nightclub and the relationship that would ultimately derail her college dreams completely.

The revelation comes after it emerged that Tsarnaev displayed a disturbing pattern of verbal abuse and violence toward women, including his wife, according to those who knew him.

MESSAGE FROM SUSPECT'S WIDOW

Katherine Russell's lawyers released this statement last Tuesday morning at her request:

'As you know from news reports, Katie married her husband in June of 2010. Since then, she has been living in Cambridge, raising her child and working long hours, caring for people in their homes who are unable to care for themselves. 

'Katie grew up in Rhode Island and has always remained close to her parents and sisters here, as well as her extended family. 

'She is fortunate to have the support of her loving family now, as they, too, struggle to come to terms with these events and the deep sorrow we all feel following the events of last week. 

'Meanwhile, she is doing everything she can to assist with the investigation.

'The injuries and loss of life - to people who came to celebrate a race and a holiday - has caused profound distress and sorrow to Katie and her family. 

'The reports of involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all. 

'As a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife, Katie deeply mourns the pain and loss to innocent victims - students, law enforcement, families and our community. In the aftermath of this tragedy, she, her daughter and her family are trying to come to terms with these events.'

Close friends of his wife claimed that Tsarnaev, 26, was combative, angry and controlling.

Russell spoke to federal authorities for the first time last Tuesday, after she was spotted leaving her Rhode Island family home with her lawyer and three federal investigators. She returned home nearly four hours later with her mother.

Afterwards, her lawyers released a statement at her request that claimed she has been 'doing everything she can to assist with the investigation.'

'The injuries and loss of life - to people who came to celebrate a race and a holiday - has caused profound distress and sorrow to Katie and her family,' the statement read. 'The reports of involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all.'

Three of Russell's friends told National Public Radio's Laura Sullivan that Tsarnaev would often insult Russell and call her names, such as 'slut' and 'prostitute.'

He was known to fly into into fits of rage where he would throw objects, including furniture, friends said.

Russell's lawyer, Amato DeLuca, said she was a student at Suffolk University when she was introduced to Tsarnaev at a nightclub. He didn't specify the exact date that they met, though it's believed to be sometime during 2009.

Tsarnaev was seeing another woman at the time, he said.

'They went out for a while, and then they stopped and then they went out again,' DeLuca said.

It's possible the other woman that Tsarnaev was apparently dating was 25-year-old Nadine Ascencao of Brookline, Mass.

Tsarnaev was arrested in July 2009 for allegedly slapping Ascencao, according to court records.

Ascencao was 'crying hysterically' and called 911 to report that she was 'beat up by her boyfriend,' Cambridge Police Officer Angela Pereira wrote in the arrest report.

Tsarnaev told Pereira and another officer that his girlfriend 'was yelling at him because of another girl.'

Asked whether he had hit Ascencao, Tsarnaev stated, 'Yes, I slapped her.' He specifically stated that he struck the left side of her face.

Eleven months later, Tsarnaev was apparently no longer dating Aschencao. He had persuaded Russell to convert from Christianity to Islam and the couple married on June 21, 2010.

Around the same time, Russell became pregnant with Tsarnaev's baby. She dropped out of school in her senior year and reportedly began pulling away from her friends and family.

Mary Silberman, whose apartment backs up to Tsarnaev's Cambridge home, said she often heard loud arguments late at night that mostly consisted of a woman's voice yelling at a man.

'It wasn't enough to call the police,' Silberman told Reuters. 'It didn't sound like anyone was in physical danger.'

But the shouting was often loud enough to keep her awake at night. She could also hear the couple's daughter, Zahara, now three years old, wailing at night and she often wondered why the mother wasn't responding, she said.

As the girl grew into a toddler, Silberman said she would see Zahara staring out the window.

Since Tsarnaev's death, Russell has been staying with her family in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Her lawyer, Amato DeLuca, told CNN last Monday that the woman is 'very distraught' and 'cries a lot.'

Regarding the bomb plot, DeLuca said, 'She knew nothing about it at any time.'

'The whole family is a mess, to put it bluntly,' he said. 'They're very distraught. They're upset. Their lives have been unalterably changed. They're upset because of what happened, the people that were injured, that were killed. It's an awful, terrible thing.'

Russell works 70 to 80 hours a week as a home health aide, according to family members. Tsarnaev was unemployed. 

Judith Russell, the 24-year-old's mother, read an emotional statement to the media outside the timber-framed detached family home.

'Our daughter has lost her husband today, the father of her child,' she said. 'We cannot begin to comprehend how this horrible tragedy occurred. Our hearts are sickened by the knowledge of the horror he has inflicted.'

She added: 'In the aftermath of the Patriots' Day horror, we now know that we never really knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev.'
