Yoga Teacher's Escape Attempt Caught on Video

A former yoga teacher, Kaitlin Armstrong, accused of a shocking murder and on the run for weeks, tried to escape from the custody of Texas deputies. And guess what? A bystander recorded part of her daring attempt!

The Great Escape

On a regular day in Austin, Texas, a person in their car caught a glimpse of Kaitlin Armstrong attempting to make a run for it. She was dressed in her jail outfit, similar to what she wore during her court appearance in April.

The Chase is On

According to the police, this 35-year-old former high school track star made a dash for it and managed to run for about 10 minutes. But, the deputies soon caught up with her. She was later taken to a hospital for a check-up and then back to the Travis County Jail.

The Murder Connection

Now, let's talk about why she was in custody in the first place. Armstrong was held on a $3.5 million bond because she's accused of murdering professional cyclist Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson, who was only 25 years old. The two had a connection through a love triangle.

Love Triangle Turned Deadly

Wilson, who was visiting from California, went out to dinner with Armstrong's boyfriend, Colin Strickland, who was also a pro cyclist. After Strickland dropped her off at a friend's apartment, things took a tragic turn when Wilson was found shot to death in the bathroom.

Escape to New York

Initially, the police found surveillance footage showing Armstrong's Jeep nearby at the time of the murder. But they let her go. By the time they decided to arrest her, she had already made her way to New York, met her sister, and booked a flight to Costa Rica.

The Great Getaway Ends

After being on the run for 43 days, changing her appearance and adopting a new name, Costa Rican police arrested her. She was deported on an immigration violation and sent back to the U.S. Marshals.

A Crime of Passion

The alleged motive behind the murder was a brief fling that Strickland had with Wilson in 2021, which seemed to have sparked a jealous rage in Armstrong. However, Strickland repeatedly told detectives that he didn't believe Armstrong was capable of shooting Wilson.

Disputing the Claims

Armstrong's defense disagreed with the prosecution's claim that she saw Wilson as a "romantic rival." They called it "misogynistic and fictitious."

So, that's the dramatic story of Kaitlin Armstrong's escape attempt and the murder case that led to it. Stay tuned for more updates on this intriguing case.
