Romantic Rival Accused of Killing Cycling Star Finally Captured in Costa Rica
A Texas woman accused of fatally shooting a rising professional cyclist after becoming enraged over the woman’s relationship with her live-in boyfriend has been captured in Costa Rica after 43 days on the run.
Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, the amateur cyclist and yoga teacher, faces charges for the May 11 killing of 25-year-old Anna Moriah Wilson, a Vermont native who was in Austin for an upcoming race. On Wednesday, after over a month on the run, Armstrong was captured at the Santa Teresa Beach hostel in Provincia de Puntarenas, officials said.
Her arrest marks the end of a coordinated, multi-agency effort to track down the 34-year-old, whom authorities say carefully orchestrated a plan to go off the grid. Armstrong will now be deported and return to the United States to face charges related to Wilson’s death.
