How doctor's daughter became the Muslim convert widow of Boston bomber

Katherine Russell, the American wife of marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is pictured left in her school book and, right, leaving the house she shared with her husband in Cambridge.

Katherine was a student at Suffolk University, Boston, when she met Tsaraev, then a promising boxer and athlete.

It was during that time that she converted and her youthful priorities appear to have changed as she left in 2010 without graduating.

By then her relationship with Tsaraev was intense. Not even his arrest for violently assaulting her in 2009 could change that.

She was 'an all-American girl who was brainwashed' by her Terrorist husband and  gave up her dreams of college to have his baby at 21.

Above is the first glimpse and pictures of the early life of the woman who, according to those who knew her best, was 'totally transformed' by Tsarnaev. At high school her personal motto was 'Do something about it or stop complaining'. Her friends say she dreamed of going to the Peace Corps - before she met Tsarnaev.

She urged her friends to 'lighten up and enjoy the small things,' in life.

Instead she met Tsarneav, 26, a disenfranchised man who came to America from his troubled homeland of Chechnya who rapidly had her in his thrall.

By the time she was 21 she had married him and borne his child, Zahara, now three. She had converted to Islam, hidden her tumble of chestnut hair beneath the hijab and undergone a change so profound that today few friends profess to truly understand it.
The question is what did she know? — How much did Katherine know about her late husband's movements, thoughts and plans?. Katherine's proximity to both brothers makes her a key witness - witting or otherwise.
