your guest her safety and well-being remains your responsibility." this is an agonizing, a confuse confusing situation and brian ross is here with more this morning. good morning. >> good morning, paula and dan. u.s. officials are still searching for proof of the claim that this 26-year-old american idealist is dead and that she was killed the way isis said she was. her parents say kayla mueller wanted to make the world a better place which is what led her to syria where she was taken hostage more than a year and a half ago. shortly after she posted this. >> i'm in solidarity with the syrian people. i reject the brutality and killing of that are doing this. >> reporter: isis claims she was killed in an air strike carried out by jordanian pilots they claim. jordan did carry out a series of air strikes against isis this

week and u.s. officials told abc news the building cited by isis was one of the targets but that that still does not prove kayla mueller was killed there. >> she could have been dead for months. you can't believe any words out of their mouth at this point. >> reporter: kayla's parents had worked desperately behind the scenes to find a way to gain their daughter's freedom after isis first threatened to kill her on her birthday last august demanding a $6 million ransom be paid. in that statement the parents revealed they have been privately communicating with isis and asked the terror group to contact them again saying we are still hopeful that kayla is alive. >> a lot of agonizing moments but those jordanian air strikes were in retaliation for the brutal execution of one of their pilots. how careful has the american military been to avoid hitting tangos where american hostages might be.

sympathizers right here in america and what they're capable of. >> dan, in the past year alone at least 20 americans including women and teenagers have been charged with going or trying to go to syria to support isis. a group known for beheading victims. in this last case one of the suspects was allegedly in contact with a radical in syria who bragged on facebook about slaughtering prisoners so yes, there's deep concern the fbi is being very aggressive. everyone remembers that isis sympathizer in paris who killed those people at the supermarket. the key question for the fbi, when does support for the isis cause turn into something far more sinister and perhaps violent. >> that's the key question and the most scary question. pierre thomas, we appreciate your insight. thank you, paula, over to you. >> thanks, dan. now to the west coast deluge. a powerful packing heavy rain and whipping wind causing massive damage aditi roy reporting for us. good morning aditi. >> reporter: here in san francisco that major storm

moisture flow. this is the atmospheric river dumping a fair amount of rain through seattle where most of the flooding is. as far as how this will time out probably a bit of a break i think tonight through early tomorrow. here's the one system that came through today and tomorrow in through sunday, this one will be the stronger one that will bring the heavy amounts of rain and ramp up the wind machine again. wind gusts over 80 90 miles an hour potentially again across the higher elevations. some of this energy is making its way towards the northeast and spawn wintry weather. winter storm watches poseted could see a foot of snow. paula, back to you. >> no rest for either coast. and back home now to that tragedy just outside of new york city which killed six. as funerals are held for some of the victims investigators continue piecing together exactly what caused that fiery crash and we're now hearing about the life-saving heroics on that doomed train and linsey

him to get off the train himself. he said he stayed on the train until he was assured that all the passengers through all the cars that he had walked through 8 all the way down through number 3 had been evacuated. >> the ntsb also revealing that a total of 12 sections of the high voltage third rail each of them 39 feet long penetrated the first passenger railcar. yesterday new york lawmakers paying condolences at the site. >> it's a gut-wrenching experience to be here. it's like looking into a coffin. >> the ntsb revealing that brody took a different way home than usual because a car accident diverted traffic and the possibility she was unfamiliar with the controls of her recently purchased mercedes suv. >> we certainly want to understand what the factors were that prevented her from moving forward. in other words, from being on the track itself. >> reporter: and new york politicians who visited the crash site here want to stress to the public often crossing

gates are made out of something like fiberglass a material designed to be easily broken away to yield to a car, something that perhaps ellen brody simply didn't know. dan and paula. >> good to know linsey davis and so many pieces that don't make a lot of sense. >> a lot of heroes emerging as well. a lot of news overnight. over to ron. >> good morning. good morning, everyone. turbotax resumed filings after the company temporarily shut down the service after several suspicious filings. the country's most popular tax preparation software company discovered that scam artists were using stolen personal information to file fraudulent state returns. several taxpayers in minnesota were scammed out of their refund checks, however, this was not a breach of its system which is used by 30 million americans. and day-care centers across the country are on high alert for measles as the virus spreads.
