Check out the personal resume of Katherine Russell. First, her recently deceased husband is considered one of the two primary suspects in the most recent terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon. Second, she is a confessed shoplifter. Would you hire this woman? Oh yeah, she also has a criminal record.

The widow of suspected Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsraneav, has a criminal record and is a confessed shoplifter. Does this news surprise you?

The 25-year-old Islamic convert 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 parent’s North Kingstown home and did not meet Tsranaev until some two years later.

Was She Brainwashed Too?

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

Showing the apple does not fall far from the tree, in 2011 Tamerlan’s mother, Zubeidat was charged with stealing several designer dresses worth $1600 from a store in suburban Natick.

There is no doubt her relationship with her husband sent her life down the drain. In addition to being arrested, she dropped out of college.

Is it possible that she can recover from this incident? I am certain she will need a great deal of counseling. Perhaps a good stop theft class too.
