Newly uncovered DNA evidence links Kaitlin Armstrong to Moriah Wilson’s murder
Bombshell dropped by prosecution during Day 2 of trial
During Thursday’s court proceedings, jurors were presented with compelling DNA evidence that connected the accused murderer, Kaitlin Armstrong to the location of the crime. Moriah Wilson, a professional gravel cyclist, died in May 2022 when she was discovered dead at her friend’s residence in Texas. She had sustained gunshot wounds to her head and chest. Her bike was located in the midst of a bamboo grove just a short distance from the apartment.
Prosecutors informed the court that the DNA discovered on the bicycle was deemed to be “highly likely” to originate from Armstrong.
The state just brought in Mo’s bike that was found at the crime scene. Remember her friend Cash said it was in a different location when she returned home. Prosecutors say there was DNA on bike that had a strong likelihood to be from Kaitlin Armstrong

Tracked Moriah Wilson using Strava
The prosecution contends that Armstrong had allegedly tracked Wilson using the fitness app, Strave prior to the murder. The two were purportedly entangled in a romantic entanglement with professional cyclist Colin Strickland.
The case garnered global attention when Armstrong fled the country just three days following the shooting.

Caitlin Cash takes stand
Wilson was staying at her friend Caitlin Cash’s house at the time of the murder. During her testimony on Wednesday, Cash revealed that upon returning home from dinner, she discovered her friend in a distressing condition—covered in blood and unresponsive. Her voice trembled as she recollected observing her friend’s feet, initially assuming she was simply resting on the bathroom floor to cool down. However, when she called out to announce her presence, there was no reply.
