dinneR ★ Posted May 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2022 https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/biking/25austin-cops-have-issued-an-arrest-warrant-for-the-murder-of-cyclist-moriah-wilson-83374/ Cops in Austin, Texas have named a suspect in the shooting death of 25-year-old gravel cycling star Moriah Wilson. On Thursday, police issued an arrest warrant for Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, on felony charges of first-degree murder. The news was first reported by VeloNews. Armstrong is a real estate agent for the Texas-based firm Kuper Realty, and also the partner of elite gravel racer Colin Strickland, the winner of the 2018 edition of Unbound Gravel. Strickland introduced Armstrong to a VeloNews reporter in Austin in late 2019 and identified her as his partner. The two recently co-founded a business renovating vintage recreational vehicles, called WheelHouse Mobile. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted May 23, 2022 Share #7 Posted May 23, 2022 Hinky. I must say this case is very hinky and both the police reaction - have the prime suspect in custody but letting her go (and flee) - and the boyfriend's behavior after getting back together with the likely murderer is VERY suspicious. According to police, a tipster assisting in the homicide investigation told detectives that Armstrong learned in January about Strickland's relationship with Wilson and "became furious and was shaking in anger." The tipster told police that Armstrong said she wanted to kill Wilson. Around that time, police say Strickland bought two firearms: a 9 mm handgun for himself, and another for Armstrong. In searching the home where Armstrong lives with Strickland, investigators say they seized a 9 mm handgun belonging to Armstrong. In comparing shell cases fired from that gun to those found in the home where Wilson was killed, police say the potential that the same firearm was used is "significant."

Kirby Posted November 2, 2023 Share #13 Posted November 2, 2023 Armstrong's trial started today. The prosecution is allowed to mention that she attempted to escape again a couple weeks ago on a trip to the hospital as evidence of a "guilty conscience". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted November 2, 2023 Share #14 Posted November 2, 2023 It was a coincidence that I watched the episode of Bones where her father (Ryan O'Neal) gets killed because the killer was able to track him using his heart pacemaker's built-in app. Then I read that the murderer tracked Mo Wilson using Mo's fitness app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted November 17, 2023 Share #17 Posted November 17, 2023 Apparently in TX the jury decides the sentence as well as the verdict. They could have chosen between 5 and 99 years. They sentenced her to 90 years, plus a $10,000 fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted November 17, 2023 Share #22 Posted November 17, 2023 46 minutes ago, Randomguy said: 90 years is a long time. They said she's eligible for parole after 45 years, so she can get out when she's 80. All things considered, the $10,000 fine seems trivial in comparison. Apparently the prosecutors asked the jury for at least 40 years, and they came back with 90. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted November 18, 2023 Share #26 Posted November 18, 2023 Read in a different article that if the sentence is under 50 years, you're eligible for parole after 1/2 term, but if the sentence is over 50 years, you're eligible for parole after 30 years - which would put her at 65. Not sure if it's true, but in either case, it's a long time (as it should be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
