Despite the stark cosmetic changes, fake passports, multiple aliases, and stints in several Costa Rica towns after fleeing the country, Kaitlin Armstrong was finally caught on June 30 thanks to what U.S. Marshals called “old-fashioned police work”
. The once blonde, curly-haired amateur cyclist and yoga teacher now boasted a dark brown bob. Her nose was covered in a bandage from what she claimed was a “surfboard accident” during her stay at Don John’s Lodge in Saint Teresa.
Armstrong’s lengthy hold-out was one of several details U.S Marshals revealed on Thursday when announcing the 34-year-old’s capture and arrest. In addition to facing charges for the May 11 killing of 25-year-oldThe sad saga began on May 11, when authorities found Wilson, a Vermont native who was in Austin for an upcoming race, fatally shot in an apartment.
“Armstrong was confronted with video evidence of her vehicle, [and] she had no explanation as to why it was in the area and did not make any denials surrounding the statements presented to her,” the affidavit said about the interview, noting that she was eventually released after detectives determined the warrant “was not valid.”
Authorities say that “using a fraudulent passport,” Armstrong boarded a United Airlines flight from Newark to San Jose, Costa Rica. Filla previously said that while the passport itself was authentic, it belonged to someone else who looked “very similar” to Armstrong.In Costa Rica, Filla said, Armstrong visited multiple Costa Rican citizens, frequenting “more than a handful” of hostels and yoga establishments to avoid getting captured.
