My daughter in law says shes now stranded there. Is this possible?

Anything is possible, of course, but it is overwhelmingly, vastly, immensely more likely that this is a scam, and that the source of this email or message is not actually your daughter-in-law, but instead someone else trying to get you to send them money.

In this day of easy Facetime and other video connections, you'll want to have an actual chat with your daughter-in-law to make sure it's her and she's really in need. This SE thread and this ABC News story discuss the issue further.

Anything is possible. It's however highly unlikely, certainly if she bought the ticket through an airline or a reputable travel agency.

Most likely then, it's a scam and the email is not coming from your daughter in law but from someone else entirely. Which should be easy enough to check by comparing the email addresses of the sender, reply-to address, and any known email addresses of your daughter in law. She should also have other means of contacting you, like telephone, to verify whether the message was indeed sent by her.

The text of the message is also a clue, does it mention actual correct names and addresses? If not, it's a dead giveaway that it's a scam. If it does, are they correct? If they are, it can still be a scam especially if your and her name are relatively common.

So contact her through other means, verify that it really is coming from her (99% chance it isn't btw, especially if you didn't know before getting this message that she's in Jamaica, most people wouldn't go abroad without telling their family after all. And if they get in trouble while abroad would call their direct family first rather than their in-laws).
