Major ISIS prisoner no longer listed in federal custody
[JustTheNews] Bureau of Prisons won't reveal reason for absence.

A notable former ISIS leader serving a life sentence in the U.S. is no longer listed as being in Bureau of Prisons custody, with the bureau itself refusing to reveal where the man is located.

Alexanda Kotey
...more fully Alexanda Amon Kotey, half-Ghanaian, half-Greek Cypriot, all former British citizen, Alex was known in the press as ‘Ringo’. He recruited at least 25 of his peers in the area west of London, and gleefully beheaded captives for ISIS in Syria. His confession makes his little group sound like a bunch of Big Turbans...
was sentenced to life in prison in April of last year in connection with the killing of multiple U.S. and British hostages.

Kotey—whose particular ISIS group was known as the "Beatles" due to the British accents shared by the men in it—is normally held at the Bureau of Prison's high-security USP Canaan facility in Pennsylvania. Yet the terrorist this week was found to be listed on the bureau's website as "Not in BOP custody" as of Thursday, with his release date as "unknown."

A BOP front man told Fox News that the bureau did not disclose specific reasons for prisoners being out of custody but that the explanation could include "court hearings, medical treatment or for other reasons."

Bethany Haines, the daughter of one of Kotey's victims British aid worker Scot David Haines, told the Scottish Daily Record that she "was assured by U.S. Justice sources that Kotey is still detained in the U.S.," according to Fox News.
A BOP front man confirmed that Kotey "is not currently in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons" but said there could be "several" explanations for his recent disappearance.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Randilee Giamusso said, "Inmates who were previously in BOP custody and who have not completed their sentence may be outside BOP custody for a period of time for court hearings, medical treatment or for other reasons."

The federal prison system does not disclose specific details relating to an inmate due to safety, security or privacy issues, the front man added.

Some reports suggested the notorious ISIS member could also be assisting with investigations into another case, though Fox News Digital could not independently verify this.

"In the past he has been traceable, as we have access to data via the U.S. victim notification scheme, and we at least had the reassurance that he was in a high security facility," Bethany Haines, 24 added, noting his disappearance wasn’t fair to the families of the victims "left to wonder where he is."
