The suspect in the murder of cyclist Moriah Wilson, Kaitlin Armstrong had access to $450,000, and learned how to shoot with her sister, according to court documents.
Wilson was killed by gunshot on May 11. Following that, police began an investigation and began to suspect that Armstrong may be involved. On May 17, she was spotted in New Jersey. Then, she was off the grid for 43 days. US Marshals classified her as a fugitive and began a massive hunt to find her.
On June 29, she was captured in Costa Rica and extradited to the United States for trial.
Fox News Digital reported that search warrants stated that Wilson had lacerations on her right finger and under her chin. Austin Police also found shell casings labelled “9mm JAG” in the Austin apartment where she was found.
The warrants also stated that Armstrong’s boyfriend, pro gravel racer Colin Strickland had given Armstrong $450,000 as investment capital. However, according to the warrants, he asked for it back, but she did not return it before fleeing Texas on May 14. She then flew to New York, according to the US Marshals.
“Strickland further advised Armstrong had visited an unknown gun range with her sister to learn how to use a firearm,” according to the warrants.

Furthermore, the warrant states that Strickland purchased two handguns at the same Austin gun store, including the gun that was ultimately linked to the shell casings found at the crime scene.
The police also obtained search warrants for Strickland’s DNA, as well as his phone, and two phones belonging to Armstrong. They also seized her MacBook Pro and a second house she owned in Austin–not the one which she lived with Strickland.
Armstrong also has an outstanding charge of theft of services for an incident in 2018 when she walked out on paying a Botox bill at a clinic in Texas. In New Jersey Federal Court, she will face a federal charge of misusing a passport for fleeing the country using a passport other than her own.
