Background
Thamina Stoll grew up in Germany and attended the Städtisches Willi-Graf Gymnasium. Like her father, Richard Gutjahr, she attended Munich's Ludwig-Maximilian University. In August 2014 she attended Duke University as a Visiting International Student for a year but applied for a transfer to Duke, and was one of 3% of applicants who were accepted.[1]
2016 Munich shooting
Thamina was in Munich at the time of the 2016 shooting, and like her father, she took video of the event and posted it online. She later tweeted that anyone was free to use the footage she posted.[2] She did not mention her father in the interviews she gave online, but mentioned her dad "happened to record video footage" in Nice in an interview she gave about the attacks to the Duke Chronicle later in July.[3]
Instagram photo
Stoll's instagram account was made private at some time since May 31, 2015. Russ Winter reports that an image posted there showed Thamina with Hillary Clinton.[4]
