In this scary story, jealousy and a complicated web of relationships come to light, which leads to a 43-day search for the killer. tvacute delves into the details.
Kaitlin Armstrong 35 years old, is a real estate agent and yoga teacher from Austin, Texas. Armstrong had a close relationship with the victim, Anna Moriah Wilson, that went beyond her work life. Strickland and Armstrong worked together in business, and Armstrong also dated Strickland on and off for a long time. The investigation was mostly about how this friendship changed over time.
How Did Cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson Die? Who Killed Her?
Anna Moriah Wilson, a skilled cyclist who was 25 years old, died on May 11, 2022. Wilson started the day by riding his bike three miles and then going to the Deep Eddy Pool in Austin, Texas, with a fellow biker named Colin Strickland. Anna Wilson and Strickland had a friendly friendship and spent the day together before he dropped her off at a friend’s apartment.
Sad to say, Anna Wilson was found later that night at her friend’s apartment, shot while asleep, and bleeding. Kaitlin Armstrong was seen as the most likely suspect by the police. Prosecutors said Armstrong’s anger was fuelled by jealousy over Wilson’s friendship with Strickland, which is why she used a fitness app to find Wilson and challenge her at her apartment.
Armstrong’s Jeep had been seen near the crime scene not long before the gunshots were heard. This was shown during the trial. Armstrong also had a handgun, which was found to be the weapon used in the killing. There was evidence provided by the prosecutors that Armstrong had a reason, the means, and the chance to commit the crime. Armstrong’s defense team said that the case was based on assumptions and didn’t have any direct proof, but the jury still found her guilty of first-degree murder.
Kaitlin Armstrong claimed her innocence throughout the trial despite not speaking. Her defense contended the police branded her a suspect too fast and that Wilson’s death could have been caused by other factors. The case against Armstrong was built on assumptions, confirmation bias, and a lack of actual proof, according to his lawyer, Rick Cofer.
Where is Killer Kaitlin Armstrong Now?
Kaitlin Armstrong was found guilty and was given a harsh sentence of 90 years in jail. During the sentencing, Armstrong’s family sobbed and Anna Moriah Wilson’s mother read a statement. During a moving part of the trial, Wilson’s mother spoke directly to Armstrong about how the crime had affected her family deeply. Armstrong, who didn’t seem to be looking back, did a lot to change how she looked and stay away from the police. For example, she tried to make a living as a yoga teacher in Costa Rica for a while.
Armstrong is now 90 years into her sentence for killing Anna Moriah Wilson. She is a yoga teacher and a real estate dealer. Even though the defense asked for a term shorter than life in prison, Armstrong will be able to get out of jail after 30 years according to Texas law. Kaitlin Armstrong is in the Plane State Jail in Dayton, which is northeast of Houston right now.
