<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The type of yoga she was studying had some sort of connection to surfing, they added, and it seemed as though she wanted to start teaching. <br>Armstrong was stopped by agents assigned to the Santa Teresa de Cóbano Tourist Police division and provided the cops with a fake name. However, no record of her entry into the country came up when the name she gave was cross referenced with the country&#8217;s immigration registry. <br>She then told the agents her real last name, which was checked with a data base that revealed she was wanted on an international arrest warrant. <br>They added that a joint investigation by the Marshals and Homeland Security Investigations found that Armstrong fled the country on May 18 using a fraudulent passport. <br>She boarded a United Airlines flight to San Jose at Newark, and arrived there that evening. ;Armstrong is now set to be deported to the US. <br>Video of her perp walk to a holding cell with a police officer after her arrest has also been released. ; The footage shows Armstrong wearing shorts and an orange t-shirt with dramatically shorter hair which she dyed from red to brown.<br>As Armstrong was fleeing from authorities, any family or friends of hers that had been in contact with her during that time may face charges. ;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8216;The US Marshals Service elevated the Kaitlin Armstrong investigation to major case status early in this investigation, which likely played a key role in her capture after a 43-day run,&#8217; said U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Texas Susan Pamerleau.<br>Armstrong is wanted in connection to the death of Wilson after authorities found Wilson &#8216;bleeding and unconscious&#8217; after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds on May 11 at her friend&#8217;s apartment in Austin. Police performed CPR on Wilson before pronouncing her dead at the scene. ;Wilson, a Vermont native and &#8216;world-class&#8217; cyclist, was staying in Austin for a race. ;<br>Armstrong&#8217;s car was seen in the area around the time of the shooting, leading authorities to believe she had killed Wilson out of jealousy.<br>They later found out that earlier that night, Wilson had gone to dinner with Armstrong&#8217;s boyfriend Colin Strickland, who told police that the two of them had been swimming at ;Deep Eddy Pool before getting burgers at Pool Burger.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Strickland said he picked her up from the apartment of her friend Caitlin Cash on his BMW motorbike at 5.45pm and dropped her off again at 8.36pm – stopping 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. <br>But unknown to Strickland, Armstrong had allegedly been tracking both him and Mo using cycling app Strava which shows the routes runners and cyclists take. <br>A neighbor said her home security camera caught ;Armstrong&#8217;s black Jeep Cherokee driving up to the property, which sits above a garage at the back of a larger home, at 8.35pm, adding that Armstrong had also been caught on camera the previous day, riding a bike in the same spot. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Armstrong was questioned by Austin police officers on May 14 after they discovered that the yoga instructor had an open misdemeanor warrant on a theft of services charge, the ;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/kaitlin-armstrong-accused-of-killing-cyclist-moriah-wilson-sold-car-before-going-on-the-lam?ref=scroll" target="_blank">Daily Beast</a> ;reports. <br>The cops then used the opportunity to briefly question her about Wilson&#8217;s death several days earlier &#8211; after they received an anonymous tip that Armstrong flew into a rage when she discovered that Strickland had previously been romantically involved with Wilson. <br>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. ;<br>The footage was time stamped just one minute after Wilson, 25, entered the building following a swim and dinner with Strickland. ;That was shortly before Caitlin Cash got home and found her gueston the floor with multiple gunshot wounds.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During her police interview, Armstrong reportedly admitted it &#8216;doesn&#8217;t look good,&#8217; and a probable cause document for her arrest says she &#8216;had no explanation as to why it was in the area, and did not make any denials surrounding the statements presented to her.&#8217; <br>On May 13, five days before she fled the country, it was discovered that Armstrong had sold her black Jeep Grand Cherokee to a car dealership in Austin for $12,2000. <br>A police tipster told investigators that Armstrong flew into a rage on discovering cyclist Strickland&#8217;s romance with fellow cyclist Wilson in January 2022. That informant alleges that: &#8216;Armstrong became furious and was shaking with anger. Armstrong told the caller Armstrong was so angry Armstrong wanted to kill Wilson.&#8217; <br>Cops got the tip on May 14, three days after Wilson was murdered. Armstrong was subsequently questioned by cops, and freed due to a technicality. <br>Realizing Armstrong was on the run, the US Marshals Service &#8216;elevated the investigation to major case status early in this investigation, which likely played a key role in her capture after a 43-day run.&#8217; <br>Veteran private investigator Bill Warner has said anyone that had contact with Armstrong while she was on the run could be charged by police. <br>&#8216;Because everyone knew she was on the run, anyone who talked to her during that time should have expected to be charged by the police,&#8217; Warner said. <br>&#8216;She looked to have a really tight network of individuals and friends, and her family seemed to be standing by her, saying that she was innocent. She appeared to have a lot of support behind her.&#8217; Strickland has claimed that his relationship with Wilson formed after his relationship with Armstrong got rocky: &#8216;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,&#8217; he told The Sun. <br>&#8216;It was completely unplanned and yeah, we started spending some time together.&#8217;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8216;That was clearly expressed to Kaitlin at that time, and Kaitlin dated other men directly after that.&#8217; <br>He added: &#8216;We were clearly going our separate ways but we just didn&#8217;t get enough inertia to separate.&#8217; The professional cyclist also argued that he was in &#8216;minimal communication&#8217; with Wilson after their romance ended last year, alleging the affidavit implied something deeper. ;<br>&#8216;Mo and I communicated about twice a month (after that) and I think it was skewed in a very misleading way in the affidavit,&#8217; Strickland said. <br>He also ;told the newspaper he got back with his ex because ;&#8216;Kaitlin and I were involved in several businesses together.&#8217; ;<br>Additionally, Strickland denied having any intimate interactions with Wilson the day of her death, <br>Strickland said, was no indication that &#8216;anything was off&#8217; with Armstrong. <br>Santa Teresa Beach, where Armstrong was found, is a remote town located on Costa Rica&#8217;s northern Nicoya peninsula. The town is located over five hours from San Jose, the city that Armstrong flew into. ;<br>&#8216;This is an example of combining the resources of local, state, federal and international authorities to apprehend a violent fugitive, bring an end to that run and hopefully a sense of closure to the victim&#8217;s family,&#8217; read the statement from the US Marshals. ;<br>The area is home to many hostels and hotels that have comparatively low prices to other remote vacation spots, with some as low as $50 a night. ; ;<br>The town is known for beautiful beaches and surfing, and has recently seen an uptick in tourists and expats. <br></p>
