Convicted Killer Kaitlin Armstrong Captured in Costa Rica Through Fake Yoga Instructor Ad

Armstrong, who had undergone plastic surgery and assumed multiple aliases to evade capture, is now serving a 90-year sentence for the murder of professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson.

  • Kaitlin Armstrong, convicted of killing professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson in a love triangle dispute, was captured in Costa Rica after responding to a fake ad for a yoga instructor placed by U.S. Marshals.
  • Armstrong had fled to Costa Rica, assumed multiple aliases, and underwent plastic surgery to change her appearance in an attempt to evade capture.
  • The U.S. Marshals posted the ad on a local Facebook page in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, after failing to locate Armstrong despite receiving tips about her possible location.
  • Armstrong responded to the ad after nearly a week, leading to her arrest and extradition back to Texas where she was charged and later convicted of Wilson's murder.
  • Armstrong is currently serving a 90-year sentence for the murder of Wilson.
