New details emerge in the murder case of elite cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson. A police affidavit for the arrest of a Texas woman accused of killing a romantic rival and fleeing the country is being attacked as “borderline character assassination” by an expert, who is also the woman’s attorney. Professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson was murdered on May 11 after going on a date with Kaitlin Armstrong’s ex-boyfriend, Colin Strickland. Austin Police have accused Kaitlin Armstrong with her murder.
Armstrong’s lawyer claimed that his client was questioned about Wilson’s death on May 12 rather than being taken in for questioning on a theft warrant for failing to pay for $650 worth of Botox at an Austin spa.
Now, her lawyer, Rick Cofer, is pleading for the Austin Police Department interview to be excluded from use as evidence in her trial. He contends that the arrest warrant is invalid because Armstrong’s birthdate was entered improperly and that the cops never gave Armstrong a complete Miranda rights reading because they were interrupted by a knock at the door.
According to Armstrong’s lawyer, when being questioned by police, Armstrong said she wanted a lawyer but the officers persisted in asking her questions regarding the killing and refused to let her go when she asked.cted of murdering a romantic rival allegedly, was arrested in Costa Rica, at Don Jon’s Surf and Yoga Lodge. She had posed as a Yoga teacher and taught a few classes in the absence of the regular instructor, reports say. Her arrest ended the 43-day manhunt for the murderer.
Armstrong befriended Teal Akerson outside a tattoo shop under the false name of Ari Martin and eventually exchanged phone numbers, the Austin American-Statesman reported. One night he tried to be more than friends, but “Ari” merely wanted to be friends, he told the newspaper.
She ended any possibility of a connection with the admirer, telling him she had recently come out of a “traumatizing split.” However, she did not tell him she was suspected of murdering elite cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson after finding Wilson was secretly dating her boyfriend.
Kaitlin Armstrong, went out with the suitor a few times when she was on the run in the days after the May 11 death of pro cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson, who had a relationship with Armstrong’s live-in partner.
Police suspect Armstrong fatally shot Wilson after the rider spent the day with Armstrong’s boyfriend and another cyclist, Colin Strickland, in Austin.
Wilson, who was visiting from San Francisco and stayed at a friend’s house before a race, admitted to cops that he dated Strickland last year.
Police later questioned Armstrong and showed her CCTV footage of a Jeep SUV that matched hers at the homicide scene.
Armstrong was released by police, and she later sold her Jeep for $12,200 and fled the country. She first flew from Austin to Houston, then to New York City.
Days later, she flew from Newark, New Jersey, to San Jose, Costa Rica, using someone else’s passport. This gripping crime story continues here-
