Police believe Kaitlin Armstrong, the yoga teacher accused of killing her boyfriend's lover, fled Texas to New York City.
The U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force said that on May 14, days before an arrest warrant was issued for her in relation to the murder of elite cyclist Anna Moriah 'Mo' Wilson, 25, Armstrong hopped on a flight from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to Houston Hobby Airport and then got on a connecting Southwest flight to LaGuardia Airport in NYC.
On Wednesday authorities, who are conducting a fugitive investigation into Armstrong, released surveillance footage of who they believe to be the 35-year-old.
The individual is seen at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport wearing a black mask covering her face, a denim jacket, a black shirt, white jeans and carrying what appears to be a yoga mat on her shoulders.
U.S. Marshals described Armstrong as white, with long, curly light brown hair, hazel eyes, five-foot-eight inches tall and weighing around 125 pounds.

Wilson, 25, was found dead in an apartment in Austin on May 11 shortly after going swimming with fellow cyclist and Armstrong's boyfriend, Colin Strickland.
A police tipster, who did not want to be identified, earlier told investigators that Armstrong flew into a rage on discovering cyclist Strickland's romance with fellow cyclist Wilson in January 2022.
The informant told police: 'Armstrong became furious and was shaking with anger. Armstrong told the caller Armstrong was so angry Armstrong wanted to kill Wilson.'
Strickland told police that he purchased two 9mm handguns for him and Armstrong around that time.
Authorities believe that Strickland and Wilson continued their relationship, something that Wilson's family denies.
That tipster got in contact with cops on May 14, three days after Wilson was murdered. Armstrong was subsequently questioned by cops, and freed due to a technicality.
On the night of her death, Wilson had a secret pool date with Strickland after he lied to his girlfriend about dropping off flowers to a friend, it is claimed.
Armstrong is said to have found out about that pool date, and is accused of shooting Wilson shortly after. The alleged killer's black Jeep was filmed in the vicinity of the house where Wilson was killed around the same time she was murdered.
Strickland dropped Wilson off at 8.30pm at a friend's home in East Austin.
Armstrong did not arrive back at the house she shared with Strickland until 9.20pm, he told police.
Neighbor, David Harris, 47, said said he did not hear any gunfire on the night of the murder.
'I think I would have heard gunshots next door if she was using a 9mm so the shooter must have used a suppressor,' he told the US Sun.
'You have to be careful with those redheads, man.'

Wilson was seen as a rising star in the sport. She had just turned professional, leaving her job at California-based bike company Specialized, and weeks before had taken the first lead for elite women in the Life Time Grand Prix off-road series
Around the time of the shooting, Harris said that he was in his garage, partially lifting up the door.
Harris also said that he heard someone leave their apartment building around the time of the killing on a bicycle.
He said: 'I heard somebody leave
