A fugitive yoga teacher from Texas wanted for killing a professional cyclist in a jealous rage sold the car at the center of the case against her just one day after she was questioned by cops, US Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force officials announced on Thursday.
Austin resident Kaitlin Marie Armstrong was questioned by Austin police officers on May 14 after they discovered that the murder suspect an open misdemeanor warrant on a theft of services charge, the Daily Beast reports.
Police then used the opportunity to briefly question her about Anna Moriah ‘Mo’ Wilson’s death several days earlier – after they received an anonymous tip that Armstrong flew into a rage when she discovered that her live-in boyfriend, pro cyclist Colin Strickland, had previously been romantically involved with Wilson.
Armstrong, 34, an amateur cyclist and yoga teacher who has been missing for more than a month, is facing charges for the May 11 killing of 25-year-old Mo Wilson, a Vermont native who was in Austin for an upcoming race.
There is currently a $21,000 reward for information leading to Armstrong’s arrest in the murder as authorities believe she was spurred by jealousy over Wilson’s relationship with Strickland, 35, who had seen the victim on the day she was killed.


During the interview, cops showed Armstrong video surveillance of her SUV apparently coming to a stop outside the apartment where Wilson was found dead on May 11.
The footage was time stamped just one minute after Wilson entered the building following a swim and dinner with Strickland on a day when he reportedly, had told Armstrong he was dropping flowers off for someone and his phone had died, according to KXAN.
During the interview, Armstrong reportedly admitted the image of of her vehicle at the location and at that time ‘doesn’t look good.’
The probable cause document for her arrest states she ‘had no explanation as to why it was in the area, and did not make any denials surrounding the statements presented to her.’
Austin police ultimately had to let Armstrong go after they realized that the warrant for her arrest had expired. Investigators discovered the suspect received a check for Jeep Grand Cherokee from a CarMax dealership in south Austin for $12,200, the next day.

She had apparently sold the vehicle to the dealership on May 13, before she was brought in for questioning, US Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force officials said.
Armstrong then reportedly caught a flight from the Austin International Bergstrom Airport and has been on the run since.
The fugitive it is believed, booked a flight from Austin International Bergstrom Airport to Houston before boarding a connecting flight to New York’s LaGuardia Airport on May 14.
Authorities released surveillance footage of a woman they believe to be Armstrong going through the Austin airport.

US Marshals say Armstrong got a ride to the New Jersey airport, but found she did not have reservations for an outbound flight.
A man who was staying at the Camp Haven compound in Livingston Manor, New York, later told Fox News that Armstrong’s sister Christine had been staying there and he had seen Armstrong a month ago. ‘She was [here] a while back,’ he said. ‘Right before the whole thing blew up.’
Former FBI special agent Tracy Walder also said he believes Armstrong could be using an alias, and private investigators have received tips that she might be using her sister’s name, according to NewsNation.
Marshals have confirmed they are aware of the campsite location but would not confirm whether Armstrong is using her sister’s identity.
The camp address is roughly two-and-a-half hours away from Newark Liberty International Airport.
Meanwhile, authorities have upped the reward to $21,000 for any information about Armstrong’s who’s described as a five-foot-eight inch Caucasian female, around 125 pounds with long, curly light brown hair and hazel eyes.

Police say they were first alerted to Wilson’s fatal shooting just before 10pm on May 11, when Caitlin Cash, the friend hosting her in Austin called authorities to report that she found Wilson with multiple gunshot wounds.
Responding officers met the friend performing CPR on her and multiple shell casings on the floor.
Wilson was pronounced dead on the scene shortly after.
Discovering that earlier that night Wilson had gone to dinner with Strickland, he told police in his interview that they had been swimming at Deep Eddy Pool before getting burgers at Pool Burger.
He picked Wilson from her friend’s apartment on his BMW motorbike at 5.45pm and dropped her off again at 8.36pm.
Although he’d stopped shortly after to text Armstrong to tell her he had been dropping off flowers to another friend and that his phone had run out of battery, but unknown to him, Armstrong had been tracking them using cycling app Strava which shows the routes runners and cyclists take.

One of the neighbor claims that her home security camera caught Armstrong’s black Jeep Cherokee driving up to the property, which sits above a garage at the back of a larger home, at 8.35pm on the day of the murder. Armstrong had been caught on the same camera the previous day, riding a bike in the same spot.
Less than an hour after her SUV was spotted, police received a call from Cash saying she had returned home to find Mo lying on the bathroom floor, covered in blood.
She had been shot several times, although neighbors including the owner of the home directly linked to the garage said that none of them heard any gunshots or any kind of disturbance at all, leading to speculation by those neighbors that the killer used a silencer.
In a statement released earlier this month, Strickland said he met Wilson through cycling and had a ‘brief’ romantic relationship with her at the end of October 2021.
After reconciling with Armstrong at the start of December, Armstrong claims he had no intention of pursuing an ‘auxiliary relationship that would mislead anyone’.
However, in the police affidavit, he admitted to saving Wilson’s number under alias on his iPhone after Armstrong found out about the fling in January and deleted her number from his phone.

Strickland has since claimed that his relationship with Wilson formed after his relationship with Armstrong got rocky: ‘I had ended the relationship with Kaitlin and it was just interesting timing because Mo had come to Austin to visit a friend that exact week,’ he told The Sun. ‘It was completely unplanned and yeah, we started spending some time together,’ he told The Sun.
‘That was clearly expressed to Kaitlin at that time, and Kaitlin dated other men directly after that.’
He added: ‘We were clearly going our separate ways but we just didn’t get enough inertia to separate.’
He was in ‘minimal communication’ with Wilson after their romance ended last year, alleging the affidavit implied something deeper,’ Strickland said, adding ‘Mo and I communicated about twice a month (after that) and I think it was skewed in a very misleading way in the affidavit.’
Major pull to reconciling with Armstrong he said, is because ‘Kaitlin and I were involved in several businesses together.’
Additionally, Strickland denied having any intimate interactions with Wilson the day of her death, reiterating that the nature of their relationship was platonic at that point.
‘If it wasn’t, there would have been intent to do otherwise, which did not transpire,’ he stated.

Strickland, who has allegedly been in ‘shell-shocked grieving mode’ since Wilson’s killing, also told The Sun there was no indication that ‘anything was off’ with Armstrong.
‘I would say she is one of the least volatile people I have ever met and that’s why it’s so absolutely shocking,’ he explained. ‘She had sides to her personality that I don’t think she shared with anybody.
‘I had no indication of anything like that,’ while acknowledging that Armstrong and Wilson had a face-to-face interaction with each other at a cycling event in Arkansas in January.
After that event, Wilson allegedly texted Strickland: ‘This weekend was strange for me and I just want to know what’s going on.
‘If you just want to be friends (seems to be the case) then that’s cool, but I’d like to talk about it cause honestly my mind has been going in circles and I don’t know what to think.’
