Thursday 23 June 2022 08:35 PM Fugitive yoga teacher accused of killing professional cyclist love rival sold ... trends now

A fugitive yoga teacher from Texas wanted for killing a professional cyclist in a jealous rage sold the car at the center of the case against her just one day after she was questioned by cops.

Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, was questioned by Austin police officers on May 14 after they discovered that the yoga instructor had an open misdemeanor warrant on a theft of services charge, the Daily Beast reports.

The cops then used the opportunity to briefly question her about Anna Moriah 'Mo' Wilson's death several days earlier - after they received an anonymous tip that Armstrong fell into a rage when she discovered that her live-in boyfriend, Colin Strickland, had previously been romantically involved with Wilson.

During the interview, cops showed Armstrong video surveillance of her SUV apparently coming to a stop outside the apartment where Wilson was found dead on May 11.

The footage was time stamped just one minute after Wilson, 25, entered the building following a swim and dinner with Strickland - even though Strickland, 35, had reportedly told Armstrong, his girlfriend of three months, he was dropping flowers off for someone and his phone had died, according to KXAN.

During the interview, Armstrong reportedly admitted it 'doesn't look good,' and a probable cause document for her arrest says she 'had no explanation as to why it was in the area, and did not make any denials surrounding the statements presented to her.'

Still, Austin police ultimately had to let Armstrong go after they realized that the warrant for her arrest had expired, and the next day she received a check for Jeep Grand Cherokee from a CarMax dealership in south Austin for $12,200.

She had apparently sold the vehicle to the dealership on May 13, before she was brought in for questioning, US Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force officials announced on Thursday.

Armstrong then reportedly caught a flight from the Austin International Bergstrom Airport and has been on the run since. 

'It's like she just vanished into thin air,' Debra Cronin, who used to be married to Wilson's grandfather told the Daily Beast as she called for justice in Wilson's murder.

Armstrong is believed to have booked a flight from Austin International Bergstrom Airport to Houston before boarding a connecting flight to New York's LaGuardia Airport on May 14.

Authorities released surveillance footage of a woman they believe to be her 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 as she goes through the Austin airport. 

Armstrong was then last seen being dropped off at the Newark Liberty International Airport on May 18 - just one day after Austin police issued a homicide warrant for her arrest.

US Marshals say Armstrong got a ride to the New Jersey airport, but found she did not have reservations for an outbound flight.

A man who was staying at the Camp Haven compound in Livingston Manor, New York, later told Fox News that Armstrong's sister Christine had been staying there and he had seen Armstrong a month ago. 

'She was [here] a while back,' he said. 'Right before the whole thing blew up.'

Former FBI special agent Tracy Walder also said he believes Armstrong could be using an alias, and private investigators have received tips that she might be using her sister's name, according to NewsNation.  

Marshals have confirmed they are aware of the campsite location but would not confirm whether Armstrong is using her sister's identity.  

The camp address is roughly two-and-a-half hours away from Newark Liberty International Airport.

Meanwhile, authorities have upped the reward for any information about Armstrong's whereabouts to $21,000. 

Authorities describe Armstrong as white, with long, curly light brown hair, hazel eyes. She is five-foot-eight inches tall and weighs around 125 pounds.
