Yoga teacher Kaitlin Armstrong is facing trial in Austin over the murder of pro rising cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson.

Ms Armstrong is accused of the 11 May 2022 murder of Wilson, who prosecutors have described as her “love rival.” The two women were reportedly involved in a love triangle with Ms Armstrong’s then on-and-off boyfriend and Wilson’s fellow cyclist Colin Strickland.

Medical examiner Bernadette Derussy, the doctor who performed Wilson’s autopsy, testified on Tuesday about her role in the investigation and the injuries that Wilson sustained.

Wilson first suffered a gunshot wound to the right side of the face, with the bullet exiting on the left side of her jaw. The second gunshot was to the right side of the head and exited beneath the chin.

A third bullet was fired at Wilson’s chest and exited through the back, but not completely as she was lying on the bathroom floor.

Wilson’s index finger was also shot at. Dr Derussy said it might have been a defensive wound, but she is not certain.

Wilson’s family opted to leave the courtroom when graphic pictures of the autopsy were shown.

Ms Armstrong is facing 99 years in prison if convicted.

She has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.

Key revelations in the Kaitlin Armstrong love rival murder trial so far

Criminal analyst places Ms Armstrong’s phone in her Jeep

Tuesday 14 November 2023 23:42 , Mike Bedigan

Under a redirect from prosecutors Ms Mazak confirms that, while she does not know who exactly was driving the Jeep on the night of the murder, whoever was was carrying Ms Armstrong’s cell phone with them.

She concludes that she does not believe it was Colin Strickland because he was at home using his cell phone at the time of the killing.

Criminal analyst under cross examination by the defence

Tuesday 14 November 2023 23:16 , Andrea Blanco

Under cross-examination by the defence, Ms Mazak admits that the location obtained from cellphone data is “general” and not precise.

The expert tells the court her analysis also is not conclusive as to whether Ms Armstrong was the one driving her Jeep on the night of Wilson’s murder.

When asked if anyone had tried to corroborate what Ms Armstrong was doing that night, Ms Mazak said she was not aware.

We know from information mentioned earlier in the trial and from reports following Wilson’s murder that she was confronted about surveillance video of her Jeep near the crime scene. However, she did not seem to have ever provided an alibi.

Ms Mazak also said she doesn’t know if APD checked for surveillance near the area where Ms Arsmtrong’s phone was turned off.

Timeline of Kaitlin Armstrong’s moves on night of murder

Tuesday 14 November 2023 22:16 , Andrea Blanco

Mr Strickland dropped off Wilson at around 8.30pm.

Ms Armstrong’s Jeep, which had been parked in an alley near Ms Cash’s home, pulls up and parks again.

Wilson uses her phone and sends her last message at 9.13pm.

A surveillance video from a nearby home captured gunshot sounds and a woman’s scream at 9.16pm.

At 9:43pm, the Jeep stops at a dumpster for three minutes and then heads to Mr Strickland’s home.

911 is called at 9.55pm when Ms Cash arrives home.

Kaitlin Armstrong’s movements on 11 May 2022

Tuesday 14 November 2023 21:55 , Andrea Blanco

Ms Mazak is now going over their movements on 11 May 2022.

Mr Strickland arrived at Ms Cash’s home at 5:40 to pick up Wilson.

They rode in Mr Strickland’s motorcycle to Deep Eddy.

Ms Armstrong stayed home until around 6.55pm, when she drove downtown in her Jeep.

Before leaving she calls and texts Mr Strickland but he does not reply.

Data from Ms Armstrong’s Jeep infotainment system and coordinates from her cellphone match the same route she is believed to have taken on the night of the murder. However, at 7.30pm her phone goes off-network and is not back on network until 9.55pm.

Kaitlin Armstrong tracked WIlson’s Strava profile

Tuesday 14 November 2023 21:34 , Andrea Blanco

Mr Strickland later confronted Ms Armstrong about her call to Wilson in a text.

She answered: “Sorry, I can’t talk right now.”

Data pulled from Ms Armstrong’s phone also shows that she viewed Wilson’s Strava profile once times on 9 May 2022, two days before the murder, and four times the following day.

Experts explains cell phone data from Ms Armstrong’s phone

Tuesday 14 November 2023 21:25 , Andrea Blanco

Criminal analyst Pamela Mazak takes the stand to explain Kaitlin Armstrong’s cell records.

Authorities pulled data from the calls to recreate a map of Ms Armstrong, Colin Strickland and Moriah Wilson’s moves.

According to information analysed by Ms Mazak, Ms Armstrong called Wilson on 28 October 2021.

Earlier, the court heard that was the day Ms Armstrong texted Mr Strickland: “I know you know better than to show up at Meteor with that girl.”

The call between Wilson and her alleged murderer lasted a minute and a half. Ms Armstrong later had a 23-minute phone with her sister.

Tuesday 14 November 2023 19:02 , Andrea Blanco

Under cross-examination, the defence asked Ms Perkins about the findings of her report

She said that she couldn’t say how that DNA got to the bike, just that it was there.

The defence then brings up the possibility of DNA transfer. Previously, Ms Armstrong’s attorneys have tried to argue that her DNA transferred to Wilson’s when the latter rode on Mr Strickland’s motorcycle and wore his helmet.

Witness discusses DNA linking Kaitlin Armstrong to the crime scene

Tuesday 14 November 2023 18:59 , Andrea Blanco

Ms Perkins says that through analysis she carried out, she concluded that DNA found on the handlebars of Wilson’s bicycle had her DNA, as well as Ms Armstrong’s and a third, unrelated person. Mr Strickland and Ms Cash’s DNA was not found on the bike.

Prosecutors earlier revealed that Wilson’s bike was found lying in the middle of bamboo a few yards from the crime scene.

On the bike’s seat, three DNA profiles are found, including Wilson’s and there “very strong support” of Ms Armstrong being one of the contributors.

Also “very strong support” of Mr Strickland and Ms Armstrong’s being contributors of DNA found in the weapons seized from them just a day after the murder.

DNA evidence explained to jury

Tuesday 14 November 2023 18:18 , Andrea Blanco

Forensic scientist Alejandra Gil told the court she collected DNA samples from Caitlin Cash, Kaitlin Armstrong and Colin Strickland.

The people asked to provide DNA were chosen by ADP.

Samantha Perkins, a DNA supervisor with the Texas Department of Public Safety, took the stand after Ms Gil was dismissed. Ms Perkins was tasked with interpreting the data obtained from the DNA analysis run by Ms Gil.

Ms Perkins says DNA profiles are never a complete match but the results can have “very strong support.”

Steven Aston’s testimony resumed on Tuesday.

Mr Aston told the jury that the casings found at the scene appeared to be consistent with the casings from tests done with weapons seized from Ms Arsmtrong.

The test fires were carried out by Mr Aston in the lab.

The defence is trying to argue that ballistic testing is not an exact science.

Kaitlin Armstrong, Colin Strickland and Moriah Wilson: The key players in the deadly ‘love triangle’ at the centre of trial

Tuesday 14 November 2023 14:00 , Andrea Blanco

Kaitlin Armstrong, a 35-year-old Austin yoga teacher, is facing trial over the May 2022 shooting death of Moriah Wilson.

While prosecutors have argued that jealousy was the motive behind the murder — Wilson and Mr Strickland, Ms Armstrong’s on-and-off boyfriend, had a brief romance —, the defence has pushed against characterizations that their client, Wilson and Strickland.

On Wednesday however, two former friends of Ms Armstrong testified that she made death threats against Wilson when she found out Mr Strickland had “cheated” on her with Wilson. Mr Stricland, who took the stand on Monday, told the court that he and Ms Armstrong were on a break when he dated Wilson and that the two had remained merely platonic since.

However, texts obtained by authorities last year show that Wilson was under the impression that she and Mr Strickland were more than friends at the time of her death.

As the second week of trial unfolds, here are the key players at the centre of the case:

Kaitlin Armstrong — Before fleeing the country last year in a desperate bid to evade charges of murder against Wilson, Ms Armstrong was a yoga teacher. She and Mr Strickland met online in the fall of 2019 and eventually started a relationship.

Ms Armstrong stayed over Mr Strickland’s home during the Texas freeze of 2021, and never left.

She became a pivotal part of his cycling business and acted as his manager. According to testimony heard in court, Ms Armstrong had access to all of Mr Strickland’s social media and financial accounts.

Jacqueline Chasteen, a friend of Strickland who also befriended Ms Armstrong, said during her testimony that Mr Strickland would openly say he didn’t have a girlfriend, despite being “head over heels” at the beginning of his relationship with Ms Armstrong.

Ms Chasteen went on to say that during a party in early 2022, Ms Armstrong confided in her that Mr Strickland had “cheated” on her with Wilson.

“She had described how Colin had cheated but while she was describing that, she had said in so many words that she wanted to kill her,” she said, per NewsNation. “That she had thought about it. But how she said it at the time I didn’t take it seriously...she said something to the effect that she had bought a gun... I do know the words kill and the words gun were used.”

Colin Strickland — Mr Strickland is a professional mountain and gravel cyclist. He is well-known in the Austin cycling community and it was his love for the sport that made him bond with Wilson, he told the court.

Mr Strickland and Wilson met in 2021 and had a short romance before he and Ms Armstrong reconciled. However, he continued seeing Wilson and going on rides with her — while hiding their encounters from Armstrong to avoid confrontation, he testified.

He described his relationship with Ms Armstrong as at time “tumultuous.”

On the night of Wilson’s murder on 11 May 2022, he and Wilson went out swimming and dined together. He then dropped off Wilson, who was visiting Austin, at her friend’s home where she was staying.

Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson — Wilson, 25, a competitive gravel and mountain bike racer from Vermont, was found dead on 11 May 2022.

A month before her death, Ms Wilson beat 30 of the top gravel racing cyclists in the United States to claim the Fuego 80k at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California.

Ms Wilson followed up that victory with a win at the Belgian Waffle Ride in San Diego on 30 April 2022 and arrived in Austin on 10 May as the favourite to win the Gravel Locos in Hico, a few days later.

Mr Strickland has reiterated that his relationship with Wilson in the months leading up to her death was just a friendship. But texts she sent around that time seemingly show that she was under a different impression.

“Sooo I would like to talk to you at some point. I had originally texted you on Friday but it appears my texts aren’t going through again,” Wilson texted Mr Strickland after an event they and Ms Armstrong had all attended. “This weekend was strange for me and I just want to know what’s going on. If you just want to be friends (seems to be the case) then that’s cool but I’d like to talk about it ’cause honestly my mind has been going circles and I don’t know what to think.”

Kaitlin Armstrong told Colin Strickland to ‘send [her] love to Mo'

Tuesday 14 November 2023 12:30 , Andrea Blanco

The man at the centre of the love triangle that prosecutors say is the motive behind Wilson’s murder took the stand on 3 November.

Visibly shaken and with his eyes closed for most of his testimony, according to reporters in the courtroom, Mr Strickland told the jury about his relationship with both Wilson and Ms Armstrong.

Mr Strickland said that while he and Ms Armstrong loved each other, their relationship was “tumultuous” due to her constant fits of jealousy. He also said that he and Wilson maintained a brief relationship while he and Ms Armstrong were broken up, but remained friendly after he reconciled with the yoga teacher.

However, Wilson and Mr Strickland kept seeing each other at competitions or cycling events. And in one instance shortly before the murder, he posted a video on Instagram of himself after a race in which Wilson happened to be in the background.

“Send my love to Mo,” Mr Strickland testified that Ms Armstrong had texted him in reference to the video, which he said he found “passive-aggressive.”

Defence motions for mistrial during detective’s testimony

Tuesday 14 November 2023 11:00 , Andrea Blanco

The defence sent shockwaves through the courtroom on Tuesday (8 November) when t hey raised a mistrial motion mid-procedure, arguing that Det Spitler favoured Mr Strickland and cleared him too soon.

The attorneys brought up that Det Spitler had previously met Mr Strickland at a taco deli years before the murder, also asking the detective if he thought of Mr Strickland as a “local celebrity.” The judge quickly denied the motion.

Det Spitler told the court he was confident in his decision to clear Mr Strickland and other men whose names came up during the homicide investigation. The detective refused to entertain the defence’s speculative line of questioning and reiterated that he pursued other lines of investigation but they all brought him back to Ms Armstrong.

Armstrong’s searched if pineapples could erase fingerprints

Tuesday 14 November 2023 09:30 , Andrea Blanco

On Tuesday (8 November), Austin police detective Richard Spitler testified for the prosecution about the timeline of Ms Armstrong’s escape and the online searches she made while on the run.

Activity from Kaitlin Armstrong’s iCould accounts reportedly shows that she searched for her name online and for “can imei be tracked if not making phone calls.”

Some of her searches led to articles about her escape to Costa Rica and Wilson’s murder. Ms Armstrong also searched “can pineapples burn your fingerprints” and appeared to land on an article that debunked the myth.

Key DNA evidence ties Armstrong to murder, prosecutors say

Tuesday 14 November 2023 08:30 , Andrea Blanco

Dramatic courtroom testimony on 2 November revealed that DNA evidence found on Wilson likely ties her accused killer to the crime scene.

Jurors heard testimony from Sgt Timothy Price who responded to the scene of the murder. He said Wilson’s bike was found lying in the middle of bamboo a few yards from the apartment.

It was swabbed by another crime scene investigator, he said.

DNA found on the bike was “highly likely” to have come from Ms Armstrong, prosecutors told the court during opening statements.

But, during witness testimony, defence attorney Rick Cofer questioned crime scene specialist Katie Ferrara about why the bike had been taken to the police department without a protective covering.

She said the police did not have a big enough bag for the bike.

Ms Ferrara also testified that there were no track marks in the grass leading to where the bike was located, and that she did not know how the bike got there.

Austin police detective Rolando Ramirez, another witness for the prosecution, testified on 2 November that he thought Wilson’s killing was “more of a personal thing or more of anger type of shooting”.

His theory was based on the fact that there was no sign of forced entry and no signs of struggle. Nothing appeared to have been stolen from her home, he added.

Court clash ‘prompts charges’ against Colin Strickland

Tuesday 14 November 2023 07:00 , Andrea Blanco

Mr Strickland’s many mishaps with members of the media reportedly led to one photographer filing charges against him.

In footage captured by reporters who attended the trial on 6 November, Mr Strickland appeared to purposefully go out of his way to stamp on a photographer’s foot while he left court.

In the video shot by NewsNation correspondent Alex Caprariello, he takes what seems to be a deliberate step to the left and comes into contact with a man holding a video camera. The man lets out a shout of pain, but Mr Strickland carries on walking.

According to Mr Caprariello, the photographer has pressed charges over the incident. The man said Mr Strickland had also tried to knock down his camera during the lunch recess. The photographer managed to catch the camera just before it fell to the ground, Mr Caprariello said.

A similar incident took place on 3 November, also filmed as Mr Strickland left court. A separate video also shared by Mr Caprariello showed him walking at a fast pace while a photographer walked backwards in front of him.

The cameraman did not seem to realise there was a barricade behind him and lost balance when he tripped on it, eventually falling to the ground. Mr Strickland appeared unphased and stepped over him before entering a vehicle and leaving the courthouse.

Missed signs of Kaitlin Armstrong’s plans to flee

Monday 13 November 2023 11:00 , Andrea Blanco

Mr Strickland and Ms Armstrong were told about Wilson’s murder by Austin Police detectives on 12 May 2022, just a day after the murder. Bodycam footage shown to the court reportedly showed that the two seemed shocked after learning the tragic news.

Mr Strickland later joined investigators at the police station, where he gave a statement for nearly six hours. The following day, authorities served a search warrant and seized weapons from his home.

Crime scene specialist Mirezha Guevara testified on November 3 that while she was taking pictures of the firearms evidence and Ms Armstrong’s black Jeep, she also noticed Ms Armstrong’s passport and foreign currency inside the home.

An attorney representing both Mr Strickland and Ms Armstrong was present while the warrant was served, but investigators did not ask to interview Ms Armstrong.

However, they did ask Mr Strickland about her black Jeep, the same model of car seen on surveillance footage near the home where Wilson was found. The car had also been spotted near the swimming pool bar that Mr Strickland and Wilson had been at just hours before she was killed.

Mr Strickland suggested during his testimony that investigators knew it belonged to Ms Armstrong.

Mr Strickland said that after he was interviewed and the warrant was served, he and Ms Armstrong were exhausted. He asked her to write a timeline of her activities on the day and reportedly said she went to yoga and visited a “healer” but made no mention of seeing Wilson.

He then went to his business’ headquarters in Lockhart and did not see Ms Armstrong again.

On 14 May, Ms Armstrong took a flight from Austin to Houston. She was found in Costa Rica 43 days later.
