in may have twenty twenty two

3:35

the twenty five year old elite for cyclists

3:37

traveled to have

3:39

way but after hanging

3:42

out with another cyclist and previous

3:44

the interests of hers she

3:46

was murdered

3:48

when police sorted through the evidence at the scene

3:51

they began to believe that the girlfriend

3:53

of the man the victim had just hung

3:55

out with was most likely

3:57

behind the killing the

4:00

more they can issue a warrant for her arrest

4:03

she had already fled his estate

4:10

every story of mariah wilson

4:12

and the search for caitlin armstrong

4:24

mariah wilson who went by mariah

4:26

and also mow was born

4:28

on may eighteenth ninety ninety six

4:31

to parents karen and eric wilson

4:33

in a little thin at new hampshire

4:35

which is a very small but charming

4:38

and picturesque town on the connecticut

4:40

river and just on the other side of this

4:42

river is the state of vermont so

4:44

actually mariah and her brother matthew

4:47

grew up on the other side of the river in

4:49

vermont and more specifically in

4:51

even smaller countryside town of kirby

4:54

which currently has a population of five

4:56

hundred people during

4:58

childhood mariah was an alpine ski

5:00

are also known as downhill skiing

5:02

and she placed third in the two thousand

5:05

and thirteen us junior national

5:07

championship downhill events

5:09

when she was about sixty years old another

5:13

passion of hers was biking and she

5:15

started begging at a very young

5:17

age you know like most of us but she

5:19

took it a little more seriously and

5:21

it's due to growing up in beautiful

5:24

rural vermont it she spent a lot

5:26

of her time biking on the kingdom flails

5:28

which made her a strong and skilled cyclist

5:32

this time in our teenage years

5:34

she was attending the burke mountain academy

5:37

which is a nearby private school that actually

5:39

educates and trains it's students

5:41

in alpine ski racing so sounds

5:43

like a the school to go to yeah definitely

5:46

after graduating in two thousand and fourteen mariah

5:49

headed if to dartmouth college the

5:51

ivy league university in new hampshire and

5:54

began studying engineering that

5:56

even though she was working towards her bachelor

5:58

in engineering which the received in two thousand

6:00

and nineteen she was still extremely

6:03

passionate about biking so

6:05

well she hard at work in college

6:07

the simultaneously becoming a professional

6:09

bike racer and she

6:11

was a member of the alpine ski team

6:14

at dartmouth so she was just extremely

6:16

active overall definitely

6:19

the once more i received her bachelors

6:21

and engineering and two thousand and nineteen she

6:23

went full force into pursuing her athletic

6:26

dreams as an elite bike racer

6:28

specifically and gravel and mountain race

6:31

well she was winning awards and raising her way

6:33

to the top literally and figuratively

6:36

she was also working for specialized

6:38

bicycle components which is a company

6:41

that manufactures and markets bicycles

6:43

and mariah was working as he demanded

6:45

planner and the california bay area

6:47

and by the way specialized is like a very popular

6:50

biking brand yesterday and an amateur a

6:52

lot of guys know that the

6:55

her life was baking but

6:57

she also had other hobbies and interests

6:59

like traveling especially to italy

7:02

going on with her friends cooking

7:05

and writing and regarding her personality

7:07

it's safe to say that she was a go

7:09

getter but she was also known as a very

7:12

generous and loving person

7:14

this point in time mariah was living

7:16

in san francisco but she was competing

7:18

all over and california for

7:21

the belgian waffle ride which she

7:23

won in early may have twenty twenty two

7:25

then to colorado where she finished second

7:28

at the leadville trail one hundred empty

7:30

be and then finally to austin

7:32

texas to compete in the one

7:34

hundred and fifty seven miles

7:36

rabble logos race so she

7:38

was really out there just making a name for herself

7:41

and racing

7:42

and although she wasn't living in vermont anymore

7:45

twenty five year old mariah wilson had plans

7:47

to return and not just to return

7:49

but to make an impact on her community

7:52

she quit her job at specialized in plan

7:55

to move back to east burke vermont

7:57

the greed a local community space where

8:00

other bikers could gather and

8:02

have a nice cup of coffee or a delicious

8:04

locally sourced meal but

8:06

something tragic would happen

8:08

in austin texas before

8:10

she could work towards this goal

8:12

first let's briefly discuss

8:14

who mariah had been kind of dating

8:17

late last there and twenty twenty one

8:20

hall and strickland is also

8:22

an elite bicyclists be he's almost

8:24

ten years older than mariah as it currently

8:26

are currently thirty five years old whereas

8:29

mariah would have just turned to six

8:31

had she made it to her birthday a couple weeks

8:33

the go in may in another the

8:35

age gap is a big issue i'm just let

8:38

me just now so calling was born

8:40

and raised in texas where he grew up on

8:42

a farm just that of austin and

8:44

he to begin biking and and or the age

8:47

my high school calling with cycling just

8:49

about everywhere and after earning

8:51

a degree and working in con starvation

8:53

until he was twenty four his

8:56

cycling career really began to take

8:58

off and he was winning lots

9:00

of awards in championships just

9:02

like mariah had been doing but of course

9:04

he had been doing it about ten years longer than

9:06

she had so he was more advanced

9:08

and more high profile and gravel racing

9:11

if it isn't obvious mariah was really paving

9:14

her so the successful career in the sport

9:16

to so mariah and call

9:18

and met through cycling and appeared

9:20

the only dated for one to two

9:22

weeks according to call and while

9:25

he and his girlfriend caitlin armstrong

9:27

were on a break in the fall

9:29

of two thousand twenty one when

9:31

they were not on this break last

9:33

fall and twenty twenty one and poland and

9:35

caitlin who is a thirty five

9:37

year old yoga instructor and independent

9:40

real estate contractor had been dating

9:42

for three years but in october

9:45

of twenty twenty one and their relationship

9:47

briefly ended

9:49

so during this break thirty four

9:51

year old call in and twenty five year old

9:54

mariah who already knew each other

9:56

begin a romantic relationship and caitlin

9:58

found out so caitlin called

10:01

mariah on the phone and explained that

10:03

she was dating call him and that they

10:05

had a long term relationship

10:07

calling continued to briefly pursue

10:09

mariah and actually changed her name

10:12

in his phone so the caitlin wouldn't

10:14

see as well as deleting text

10:16

between the two of them it wasn't

10:18

long before caitlin figure this out and blocked

10:20

mariah is number three poland's

10:22

phone and then colon and caitlin got

10:24

back together guess so with it

10:26

seems like this break was maybe not a super

10:28

serious break if they got right back together

10:31

they had been dating for three years so

10:33

yeah down the definitely makes sense in the

10:35

you know obviously caitlin

10:38

is very protective over their relationship

10:40

so she's penalised

10:42

the i didn't want mariah anywhere near

10:44

call and right and she did not like

10:46

the fact that mariah had

10:48

seen it colin not that it's my

10:51

fault during that time that they were on a plate

10:53

is obviously it seems that caitlin wasn't

10:55

ready to move on from call him rights

10:57

and it's also unclear if he continued to see

10:59

mariah on the sides and cohen has

11:02

you know only admitted to having a short fling

11:04

with her and the full of twenty twenty one

11:06

that lasted only about one or two weeks as you mentioned

11:09

however this wouldn't be the last

11:11

time that the saw each other anyway in

11:14

may have twenty twenty two caitlin armstrong

11:17

and colin stricklin were fully

11:19

back together and living with each other at

11:21

a house in austin texas

11:24

well mariah was in town for the gravel

11:26

locos competition that was set

11:28

to take place on may fourteenth twenty

11:30

twenty two the actually met up

11:32

and i do wanna say they had seen

11:34

each other at other races

11:36

over the months so it's not like this is the first

11:38

time they're seeing each other since they dated like

11:41

they

11:41

the work in the same industry and our right

11:44

and just to reiterate at this point caitlin

11:46

and call in our back together they're

11:48

in a relationship that appears to be solid

11:51

right and because of that this

11:53

could have been a totally platonic meet up

11:55

but either way on wednesday

11:57

may eleventh twenty twenty two i

12:00

was staying at her friend caitlin cash

12:02

his house and asked

12:03

in the she mariah arrived

12:06

austen the day before on may tenth

12:08

twenty twenty two and was getting ready

12:10

for the gravel locos race in heat

12:13

though texas which is a two hour drive

12:15

north often but she was

12:17

staying at caitlin cash his house

12:19

in austin and of course well listen

12:21

austen call and via so

12:23

on wednesday may eleventh two thousand twenty

12:25

two of the hot day in austin texas

12:28

with temperatures reaching ninety agreed

12:30

fahrenheit or thirty two degrees celsius

12:33

mariah texted caitlin cash

12:35

the friend she was staying with explaining

12:37

that she was going to meet up with her friend colin

12:40

so they could go swimming together for

12:43

mariah last caitlin went to

12:45

her house to talk to mariah about

12:47

her evening

12:49

and and caitlin cash left at

12:51

five thirty pm to go meet

12:53

with her own friends for dinner dealing

12:56

has a i'm using her phone in by the way because

12:58

there's two caitlin the doubt order to caitlin

13:01

the ah one with it in one with a c caitlin

13:03

caches with a c but you guys can't

13:05

see that so i'm gonna use last name for life link

13:08

has has an election nick lock on

13:10

her east austin houses door that

13:12

is locked and unlocked using a code

13:15

so she received a notification on

13:17

her phone whenever it's locked and unlocked

13:20

the when she received one at five fifty

13:22

five pm and twenty five minutes after she

13:24

left her house herself this indicated

13:27

to her that mariah was heading out to meet

13:29

call it pick mariah up

13:31

on the motorcycle that

13:34

night the two headed to the deep

13:36

the eddie swimming pool which is like a large

13:38

historic outdoor swimming the war in austin

13:41

that surrounded by trees and

13:43

then then went to a nearby burger spot

13:45

and that places the pool berber witches

13:48

and a cheeky themed with an airstream and

13:50

it looks pretty hip conveniently named

13:52

yeah at age sixteen

13:54

pm and pay attention to the times we're

13:56

gonna throw bunch of you eight sixteen

13:59

pm mariah and calling

14:01

it left on his motorcycle and

14:03

arrived at caitlin caches house one

14:06

he minutes later mariah

14:09

returned to caitlin cash his house

14:11

on at maple avenue at eight thirty

14:13

six pm which is also twenty

14:15

minutes after sunset and we

14:17

know that for sure because that is when caitlin

14:20

received a notification on her

14:22

phone at that the door was being on

14:24

law

14:25

so we have a definitive

14:27

time here from when

14:29

mariah got back yes because

14:32

of this locke which is pretty convenient for

14:34

for the timeline yeah absolutely though

14:36

at this very same time that mariah

14:39

was going into caitlin cash as house

14:42

calling sense heat when armstrong

14:44

his girlfriend a text message

14:46

at eight thirty six pm that said

14:48

quotes hey are you out

14:50

i went to drop some flowers for allison

14:53

at her son's house up north and

14:55

my phone died heading home

14:57

unless you have another food suggestion

15:00

the would clear that colin is lying to her

15:02

you know saying that he went to someone son's

15:04

house to drop flowers off and that

15:06

his phone was dead when he was actually

15:08

swimming and having burgers with mariah

15:10

if i wonder if he turned his phone

15:12

off that whole time so she couldn't track him as she

15:15

does have it's tracker which is the invite caitlin

15:17

armstrong would have that on call him absolutely

15:19

name and we also don't know like

15:22

you said at this point we don't know what the relationship

15:24

is between mariah the

15:26

and collins so it's like you said it could

15:28

be put on eg it could be not

15:30

platonic right but eat

15:31

the way i think it and he even

15:33

if it is platonic call in does not

15:35

want to be honest about seeing mariah with caitlin

15:38

because caitlin has

15:40

this very aggressive view apparently

15:43

of mariah because of the relationship

15:45

they had last fall so

15:48

even if it was just friends caitlin would not be

15:50

okay with that oh definitely oh that's

15:52

a think either way he's gonna hi but that's

15:54

that makes us wonder is a platonic

15:57

romantic yeah yeah that's just

15:59

the you know arena the question i have right

16:01

let's get back to the timeline so just seven

16:03

minutes later colin arrived home

16:06

and caitlin armstrong wasn't there

16:08

the we sent her another text then

16:11

he went into the garage and began working

16:13

on his bikes nine

16:16

twenty one pm holland

16:18

texted her again this

16:20

time it had been almost you know fifty minutes

16:22

since he had first texted her after

16:24

dropping mariah off and just minutes

16:27

later caitlin arrived home

16:29

and her jeep cherokee that

16:31

same evening just seven days

16:34

before her twenty six birthday mariah

16:37

was found shot to death and her

16:39

friend caitlin caches home when

16:42

i returned home from an evening out with friends

16:44

just before ten pm when

16:46

she tragically discovered mariah wilson

16:49

bleeding and unconscious from

16:51

multiple gunshot wounds and

16:53

she was lying on her bathroom floor

16:56

and nine fifty six pm caitlin

16:59

task frantically called police

17:01

responded to the scene within minutes and

17:03

perform cpr on mariah but

17:06

sadly she was pronounced dead

17:08

at the scene

17:09

the immediately it didn't appear that

17:12

mariah is murder had been random

17:14

but it was also obvious that it was a homicide

17:16

because there was no firearm left at the scene

17:19

however mariah his bike appeared

17:21

to be stolen initially it's but

17:23

it was found it sixty eight feet

17:26

from caitlin caches home and

17:28

concealed in thick bamboo

17:30

like as if someone had tried to hide it not

17:32

steal it may be the

17:34

new in cash only had that chronic

17:37

locke which again proved to be helpful

17:39

in creating a timeline a mirage evening

17:42

but there was no security footage outside her house

17:44

she didn't have a doorbell camera or anything like

17:46

that birds that

17:48

their wives surveillance from a ring

17:51

cameras outside a home

17:53

near by and we did poster the

17:55

edge on our social three that to see the

17:58

on his footage it shows eight

18:00

twenty six pm so ten

18:02

minutes before mariah got

18:04

back to caitlin caches house a

18:07

dark colored s u v is seen

18:09

driving on caitlin caches street

18:12

then eleven minutes later

18:14

when it's visibly more dark outside at

18:16

a thirty seven pm which is

18:18

just one minute after mariah

18:20

entered caitlin caches home the

18:23

same as you see is seen driving

18:25

on her street know the

18:27

eerie thing about this about this

18:30

home with ring camera was right

18:32

next to caitlin south and across the street

18:35

in a footage you can see the as see the

18:37

slow down when it gets to caitlin

18:39

house and then stop right

18:41

next to caitlin cells are like partially

18:43

in front of it unfortunately

18:45

you don't see the person acts said or see

18:48

anything that happens at caitlin home

18:51

because it's just out of view the

18:53

vehicle was fairly distinctive because

18:55

it had a large bicycle rack mounted

18:58

on the trailer hitch and it was clear really

19:00

a jeep cherokee and who drives

19:03

a jeep cherokee we shall get to that

19:06

this indicated to police that whoever

19:08

killed mariah had to likely been driving

19:10

that vehicle so they got

19:12

to work they also made

19:14

sure to question call and immediately knowing

19:17

that he had been the last person to see her

19:19

and as we will discuss later they questioned

19:21

him the next day

19:23

of course you know this was just an incredibly

20:21

her family made the following statement to the

20:23

media quote we are

20:25

absolutely devastated by the loss

20:27

of are beautiful daughter and sister

20:30

anna mariah wilson there

20:32

are no words that can express the pain

20:35

and suffering that works spearing sing

20:37

due to this senseless tragic loss

20:40

they also stated that the time of her death that

20:42

it was known to those closest to mariah

20:45

that she wasn't in a romantic relationship

20:47

with anyone

20:49

after mri is murder neighbors

20:51

were questioned and one neighbor had

20:53

something interesting to say for

20:55

reference it appears that caitlin lived

20:57

in a duplex that's caitlin cash

21:00

yeah killing cash are hints the

21:02

caves looking at her address online

21:05

appears like a multi bedroom house that she

21:07

lived in unit the shelf it seems

21:09

there are two houses connected to

21:11

each other though it is referred to as an apartment

21:14

it just doesn't appear to be one to me but instead

21:16

a duplex i guess it doesn't matter but apartment

21:18

to me the kind of insinuates

21:21

that there are multiple people living in this building

21:23

any of the like they were just caitlin

21:25

cash and then her neighbor who was also

21:27

her landlord the out

21:29

between eight thirty pm and now

21:32

thirty pm when mariah was killed

21:34

the landlord who lived next door was

21:36

home and heard noises from their

21:38

garage though

21:41

he was in the garage when he heard

21:43

what sounded like someone running downstairs

21:46

and into the alley next to their

21:48

homes don't want startled

21:50

by this he look the under the partially

21:53

raise garage door that he was in and

21:55

saw someone riding a bicycle

21:58

down the alley which is where riot

22:00

bike was later found conceal when

22:03

killing has arrived home around in hour

22:05

and a half after mariah was shot

22:08

he noticed that the door to her home

22:10

was unlocked and at ten

22:12

ten pm mariah was

22:14

pronounced dead at the scene

22:18

now colin stricklin released this statement

22:20

on social media after mri as murder

22:23

i'm reeling from grieving mo wilson's

22:26

death and from the facts that have emerged

22:28

during the investigation i

22:30

cannot begin to imagine the pain the

22:33

by most family and her close friends

22:36

there's no way to adequately express regret

22:39

and torture i feel about my proximity

22:41

to this horrible crime i'm

22:44

sorry and i simply cannot make

22:46

sense of this unfathomable tragedy

22:49

although it will be a matter of small consolation

22:51

to anyone else who cared for mo i

22:53

want you to know that i have cooperated fully

22:56

with investigators ever since i learned

22:58

the terrible news and i will continue

23:00

to do so until some form of

23:02

justice is served the

23:05

point of clarification to sacks previously

23:07

reported mariah wilson and

23:09

i had a brief romantic relationship

23:12

from late october to early november

23:14

of twenty twenty one that spanned a

23:16

week or so while wilson was visiting

23:19

austin at the time she

23:21

and i had both recently ended relationships

23:24

he returned her home in california and

23:27

about a month later caitlin armstrong

23:29

and i reconciled and resumed our

23:31

relationship since then

23:34

i often saw though it's cycling events

23:36

and always in public settings

23:39

we both competed in bentonville arkansas

23:42

still water and monterey california

23:45

after a brief relationship in october

23:47

of twenty twenty one twenty were not

23:49

in a romantic relationship the

23:51

only a platonic and professional one

23:54

it would normally and the to pursue along

23:57

and auxiliary romantic relationship

23:59

that would miss lead any one mariah

24:01

and i were both leaders in this lonely

24:04

nice sport of cycling and i

24:06

admired her greatly and considered

24:08

her a very close friend i

24:10

26:02

of them between december of twenty

26:04

twenty one and the january of twenty

26:07

twenty two just five months before

26:09

mariah murder and i cannot find

26:12

why the purchases if there was a

26:14

reason if they just people bike for

26:16

whatever reason maybe there was no particular reason

26:18

be home protection right they know

26:20

he just either didn't mention it urges

26:22

not online the police were

26:24

able to determine that the vehicle spotted

26:27

in the ring camera why

26:29

caitlin armstrong's twenty twelve

26:31

jeep cherokee after the visited

26:34

caitlin and collins home on may

26:36

twelfth the day after the murder

26:39

also at their home police found it

26:41

to nine millimeter guns

26:44

as springfield armory for calling and

26:46

a six star for caitlin and

26:48

after exam the showcases found

26:50

at the scene and they were compared

26:53

to one of the guns that call and had purchased

26:55

the sig sauer for caitlin and

26:57

quote the potential that the

26:59

same firearm with the all the are

27:01

significant so this means

27:04

a lot here it does does

27:06

police are basically saying

27:08

it appears that caitlin

27:10

firearm was used to murder mariah

27:13

yeah so now we have you on tape

27:15

your car at least on tape and

27:18

we know that you have a gun and

27:20

we could connect the casing to that

27:22

gun dagger that name right sig sauer sour

27:25

you know what i'm not i'm not a gun person

27:27

but if somebody out there you can correct

27:29

that i'm sorry i never got a wrong i'm so sorry i'm

27:32

not going to say it again though so it is a minor detail

27:34

police were able to question both calling

27:37

and caitlin it that day and

27:39

after determining that the vehicle seen

27:41

on the ring camera was likely caitlin

27:44

the after about this and showed her the

27:46

evidence when told

27:48

them that she had no explanation

27:50

add as to why her car was in the

27:52

area and did not deny that

27:54

the hers so she didn't even have

27:57

a story for why her car would be there yeah

27:59

she was just like yes that is mine and ike

28:01

i have no explanation

28:03

she was being very as all explains

28:05

who's being very calm she wasn't going back

28:08

and forth she wasn't being erratic she was just kind

28:10

of thing the bare minimum the

28:13

when asked if she had heard about what

28:15

happened the previous evening a came

28:17

rise murder she nodded her

28:19

head and said that call and had told

28:21

her that a woman in the cycling community

28:24

is had passed away that's

28:26

putting it lightly well and is

28:27

a woman in the cycling community had passed away

28:30

you know whom are right in there are more i that search

28:32

your nose is that's so true though

28:34

she was apparently like

28:35

very still in her interview and actually

28:37

didn't move at all she was in fidgeting she was just

28:40

still as still as hell next

28:43

detective connor explain to caitlin

28:45

that call and had gone out with mariah

28:48

the previous evening and that

28:50

she must have been upset by that when

28:53

responded to this by turning her

28:55

head and angrily the rolling

28:57

her eyes proving his point then

29:00

she said quote hi i'm

29:03

not certain as even what you mean

29:05

or what he said because i didn't have

29:07

any idea that he saw or even

29:09

when out with this girl as

29:12

of recently

29:14

though detective hundred then told caitlin

29:16

that the fact that her car was spotted at the

29:18

scene in the fact that her boyfriend

29:20

had just gone out with the victim didn't

29:23

look too good and she nodded in

29:25

agreement and didn't speak he

29:28

was just you know still and very guarded

29:31

then caitlin armstrong requested

29:33

to leave and since they couldn't holder

29:35

at this point she was free to go the

29:38

next day which was may thirteenth

29:41

a friend of caitlin to disguise their name

29:43

as jane hold police

29:46

and explained that over the last

29:48

few months when it called

29:50

mariah on multiple occasions

29:53

then in one instance caitlin

29:55

told mariah that she had to stay

29:57

away from college so now she's threatening

29:59

mariah

30:00

and this is the to just for her to say or

30:02

this jane to say she

30:04

called are multiple times like this within the

30:06

seems like it was in shoo for caitlin

30:08

that mariah with even the existing

30:11

yeah it was

30:12

then the next day on may fourteenth

30:15

twenty twenty two so just under three

30:17

days after mariah is murder and

30:19

anonymous person called the austin police

30:21

department and said that she was with

30:23

caitlin armstrong in january

30:26

when she discovered that call him was

30:28

still having a romantic relationship

30:30

with mariah two months after

30:33

they had allegedly ended things in november

30:35

twenty twenty one of

30:37

course since cohen publicly stated that

30:39

they were not seeing each other romantically

30:42

this can't be confirmed but it's definitely

30:44

possible that they were still seeing each other

30:46

romantically and maybe collins's the

30:48

didn't want to publicly admit this for the sake

30:51

of his imaging career that

30:53

the color explained to the austin police

30:56

that when caitlin learned that they were still

30:58

potentially seeing each other she

31:00

became furious and was

31:02

visibly seeking an anger

31:06

when armstrong allegedly told this anonymous

31:08

person that she was so angry

31:10

that she wanted to kill mariah and

31:13

then spoke about a firearm purchase

31:16

this point in time mariah sent this text

31:19

message to call hey

31:21

it so i would like to talk to you at

31:23

some points i'd originally texted

31:26

you on friday but appears my text aren't

31:28

going through again this weekend

31:30

was strange for me and i just wanna know what's going

31:32

on if you just want to be friends

31:35

seems to be the case then that's cool

31:38

but i'd like to talk about it because honestly

31:40

my mind has been going in circles and i

31:42

don't really know what to think in

31:44

response to this taxed colin

31:46

wrote quotes hey mo i feel

31:49

very shitty for putting you in a position where

31:51

you don't feel comfortable he

31:53

wouldn't came along to go to a meeting about the

31:55

sprinter spartan hotel project

31:57

in hindsight that was not a good idea

32:00

so it does seem like in january at least

32:02

mariah was wondering maybe call

32:04

him was kind of leading her on and she's kind of saying

32:06

hey are we are we something or

32:08

are you know this weekend was awkward because

32:11

probably because caitlin armstrong was there so

32:13

are you with her are you with me what's going on i just

32:15

want to talk about it yeah i kind of seems like

32:17

he is between the two of them a little bit outlawing

32:20

yeah totally the although the crime

32:22

of murder is much more serious than larceny

32:25

caitlin armstrong does have a charge against

32:27

her from two thousand and eighteen that we just want to

32:29

briefly mention on march

32:31

sixth two thousand eighteen at the

32:33

or then thirty when you're old caitlin armstrong

32:36

receive a six hundred and fifty dollar

32:38

botox procedure and a spot

32:40

in westlake texas after

32:42

the procedure she went to use her master

32:45

card at the reception desk but

32:47

then she said that she would per for to use

32:49

a different card instead though

32:52

she said she had another card in her vehicle

32:54

outside and said she would go out and

32:56

retriever and be right back but she

32:58

never returned leaving

33:00

her mouth the card on the counter the

33:03

mastercard even at her name on it and

33:05

the medspa had the photos of

33:07

her for the procedure and

33:09

they had other information on file for her

33:11

including her date of birth and more so

33:13

she the ding dong i mean yeah that was very

33:15

a silly thing to do thinking she could just get away with

33:18

not paying even though they know executives yes

33:20

yes so with that she was charged

33:22

with larceny within the coming weeks

33:25

because this med spot did press

33:27

charges when calling

33:29

was questioned by police which he

33:31

didn't have to do any voluntarily went

33:33

down to the station without a lawyer he

33:35

also mentioned that he hasn't seen

33:38

or spoken to caitlin armstrong

33:40

since may thirteen few

33:42

days after mariah is murder and

33:44

since then caitlin has

33:47

deleted all of her social media

33:49

accounts and is still at large

33:51

so it's kind of crazy because this

33:53

is his girlfriend and he hasn't seen

33:55

her since mid may yeah he just

33:58

left more he was saying this at the time

34:00

there will be hidden just say that yes or no i know but

34:02

yeah like he he doesn't know where she is

34:04

either so he said and

34:06

the only social media account that

34:08

it appears she did not delete is

34:10

strother which is an online cycling

34:13

and fitness platform and that

34:15

shows that she last cycled

34:17

on may eleventh the day

34:19

mariah was killed because as will go into

34:22

she did cycle just as a hobby here

34:25

is what we do know about caitlin

34:27

that whereabouts no before

34:29

caitlin it was officially being considered

34:32

a suspect she boarded a flight

34:35

from the austin bergstrom international

34:37

airport in austin you

34:39

are nearby houston at at twelve

34:41

thirty pm on may four

34:44

key and twenty twenty two

34:46

and one she landed in houston caitlin

34:49

got a connecting flight alone

34:51

to the laguardia airport in new york

34:54

the southwest airline there

34:56

are photos of her at the austin airport

34:59

that have been released and we posted them so

35:01

she's holding a yoga mat and wearing

35:03

a black face mask white

35:06

pants a denim jackets

35:08

and her hair is pulled back like

35:10

half of it is pull back and the other half is down

35:13

and she also had a blue backpack on

35:15

her back after

35:17

she landed outlook florida in queens

35:19

new york that same day the

35:22

already is a admitted that they quotes

35:24

kind of lost the track the

35:27

actually considering she was three days ahead

35:29

of police she had deleted social

35:31

media and doesn't appear to have her cellphone

35:34

he could be anywhere and definitely

35:36

could have altered her appearance so

35:38

let's talk about this like it really seems

35:40

like after she was questioned by police

35:42

and was presented evidence of her car

35:45

being at the scene and then her

35:47

gun was taken for evidence processing she

35:49

probably knew that they were on to her and decided

35:52

the only way out was to run

35:54

yeah i mean yeah they literally have

35:57

like the murder yeah and i mean i

35:59

am so the surprised that she is still

36:01

by the way still on the run because

36:04

the last time we saw anything like this was

36:06

when brian laundry with on the rhine last

36:08

year so i just hope this

36:10

has a better outcome because it's just so unclear

36:13

how this is going to end yeah i

36:15

mean she could be anywhere

36:17

in the world right now yeah can we will

36:19

get into the updates as well guys also

36:22

regarding the actual murder so keeling

36:25

would have had to know that

36:27

mariah and call and were hanging out

36:29

that night if she was outside

36:31

mariah his friends house before

36:34

mariah even got back to the house because

36:36

remember there is footage of her car on

36:38

that street minutes before

36:41

mariah even got they are you know act

36:43

as her car with seen it first at

36:46

age twenty six pm

36:48

so that's eleven minutes before

36:50

more i got home though maybe she

36:52

saw recent tax between

36:54

colon and mariah or something and then potentially

36:56

followed call into the area when he went

36:59

to pick up mariah and that's when she

37:01

saw them together and decided

37:02

what you're going to do or it's

37:04

possible that you know

37:06

she had like the find my friends app

37:08

and she was tracking where call

37:11

and was

37:11

but it seems like the remember how he said his phone

37:13

died so i wonder if he did

37:16

maybe he didn't turn it off until after he

37:18

got to the house through good only maybe

37:20

he forgot to turn off his phone that

37:22

also colin had said

37:24

that he always deleted tax between a

37:26

his phone and mariah so that

37:28

caitlin wouldn't see that

37:31

also makes me wonder well how would she have seen

37:33

text between them so how the hell did caitlin

37:35

even know what was going

37:37

on and where to find mariah another

37:39

possible

37:42

the whole thing is that she could

37:44

have followed call in when he

37:46

left that day that's what i'm thinking i wanted

37:48

only only his suit says scenario

37:50

is how the hell would see know where that way

37:52

yeah and also the colon had said that caitlin

37:55

would not have known where mariah was staying

37:58

and she didn't know anyone in the air

38:00

yeah of caitlin caches house so it's not like

38:02

she does happen to be there she had

38:04

to have been there for this purpose you

38:06

know that yet reason yeah she was there

38:08

she plans to sell so as restated

38:10

as restated was questioned on may twelfth

38:12

twenty twenty two and as of may

38:15

thirteenth colin states that

38:17

he didn't see her again and then on may

38:19

fourteenth she boarded a plane to new

38:21

york the warrant for her arrest

38:23

was not issued until may

38:25

seventeenth so five days after

38:28

she was question what a magistrate

38:30

authorized a warrant under murder charges

38:33

in relation to the shooting murder of

38:35

twenty five year old mariah wilson q

38:38

and father is spoken to the media about zealand's

38:40

involvement and he doesn't think

38:42

that she did this michael

38:44

armstrong claims that he knows caitlin

38:46

didn't do this because he isn't capable

38:49

of murder he spoke to good morning

38:51

america recently and said quotes i

38:53

know her i know how she thinks

38:56

and i know what she believes then

38:58

i know that she just would not do

39:00

something like this i know her

39:02

i know her he was

39:04

then asked what he thinks about the police as theory

39:07

that she did it and he said quote that

39:09

is what they believe i know that

39:12

she did not do this there are a lot

39:14

of unanswered questions he

39:16

then addresses caitlin herself and says

39:19

well we love you katie and

39:21

we're going to figure this out

39:23

i just wonder how he is so sure especially

39:26

with all the evidence because we know that call

39:28

and had taken mariah back to her friend's house

39:30

at the a motorcycle and his phone

39:32

was tracked going back to his house right

39:35

away where he remained for the evening

39:37

so he couldn't have written back to the

39:39

house gone into caitlin armstrong's

39:42

car and then went back to the scene

39:45

the uk on cash his house to murder

39:47

mariah especially since again

39:50

caitlin armstrong his jeep cherokee

39:52

with seen approaching the house before

39:54

they even got their cells if

39:57

it wasn't caitlin and it was in poland

39:59

then who they don't like and why would caitlin

40:01

be on the run and delete all for socials

40:04

if she's innocent and yeah see

40:06

that doesn't make any sense at

40:08

all and and i'm sorry i'm not trying to be an asshole

40:10

but i just

40:12

i just don't billiard i had a father the father

40:14

is just these in denial she's in denial

40:17

of what's going on right now because they have

40:19

a murder weapon they saw her car mariah

40:21

didn't have any enemies that

40:23

anybody knew of there's

40:25

just no other possibility here i do understand

40:28

why it michael armstrong is saying this

40:30

of course this is his daughter how can he

40:32

let himself believe that his daughter would

40:34

murder somebody i fully get it and i do sympathize

40:36

with him because

40:37

this has gotta be an emotional time for him as well

40:40

you never want to believe that as a parent absolutely

40:42

by i don't i just don't agree personally

40:45

and also i know in some cases

40:47

people run as because they know

40:49

they look guilty and they really didn't do

40:52

it but with all the evidence they have

40:54

here i don't see how this

40:56

murder would not have been carried out by caitlin

40:58

armstrong also at a time

41:00

we're releasing this episode of she has been on

41:02

the run for twenty four

41:04

days that's a long time yeah

41:06

that alone for nobody to have seen the

41:09

i just wonder where she could be because

41:11

in this day and age it's so hard to

41:13

stay hidden when people are looking for you because

41:15

of the internet and how easy this to share

41:17

a photo and then like every eight cm

41:19

has a camera and that can be tracked

41:22

anyway and you need an id to stay

41:24

at hotels and there's cameras all over the place

41:26

so you cannot imagine how

41:28

she has been hiding in the

41:30

or around new york or anywhere else like

41:32

how does she have honey weary she's

41:34

sleeping is there so many questions

41:37

yeah you would think that she would have to have

41:39

a credit card or debit card or something like a

41:41

big ideas yeah it must resist

41:43

paying for everything with cash which i guess

41:45

you you could do it did look

41:47

to see if there's any kind of trace that before

41:50

the murder happened she went to an eighty am

41:52

and took out of a lot of money but i didn't find

41:54

anything like that so does that mean she's

41:56

been planning and there's just

41:58

it's so hard to figure but at

42:00

the end of the day it's been almost a month and

42:03

it there has to be some kind of way that she

42:05

is out there somewhere

42:07

yeah i'm going unseen and living

42:10

yeah and we are just you know in the midst

42:13

of what is happening here yeah absolutely

42:15

self also a little more about caitlin

42:18

and her relationship with call and the

42:20

they previously had a business together

42:22

and i think they they still quote still

42:25

trying to do and it's centered around

42:27

like designing and bill being a vintage

42:30

trailers for their company called wheelhouse

42:32

mobile this website

42:35

had previously stated quotes hollins

42:38

partner and financial guru caitlin

42:40

armstrong let him to realize

42:42

that they could build this into something much

42:44

greater than a one off passion project

42:47

this website was active

42:49

until caitlin went on the run

42:52

and since she deleted all of her social media

42:54

accounts it appears he also took

42:56

down at their website for their business

42:59

which is kinda weird to me i by by

43:01

think that's gonna od i wonder why just maybe

43:03

she just thought it might be another way that somebody

43:05

could connect her to something right i'm

43:08

feeling use the cycle like i said it but

43:10

she can have put biking aside and focus

43:12

more on yoga and becoming

43:14

a realist the contractor though it appears

43:16

she does still bike is a big hobby the she

43:18

doesn't do it competitively other

43:21

than as we know that she was born on november

43:23

twenty first nineteen eighty seven in

43:26

livonia miss again at to

43:28

her father michael but her mother's name

43:30

is still unknown publicly though

43:32

a friend explain that her mother had an

43:34

alcohol addiction and wasn't really

43:36

in her life the she

43:38

eventually moved to santa monica california

43:40

in her early twenties and then relocated

43:43

to austin texas in two thousand and seventeen

43:46

to live with her sister he

43:48

also has a brother who apparently had some

43:50

addictions as well and caitlin

43:52

was passionate about getting him on the

43:54

other side of that and even bringing

43:56

him into the trailer the next to help influence

43:59

him that that's pretty much all we know about tailing

44:02

yeah there's not a whole lot

44:03

the according to a friend of both colon and

44:05

thailands name's david caitlin

44:08

begin working in real estate after the coven

44:10

nineteen pandemic affected her yoga

44:12

career but she was doing very well for

44:14

herself and owns three rental properties

44:17

and she was also very smart with money

44:19

and was the accounts payable manager

44:21

for the wheelhouse mobile business that

44:23

see and call and also had with

44:25

her friend david you

44:28

set up the website as well and david

44:30

also said that she always kept busy

44:33

they also added quote with this

44:35

girl there was not one red

44:37

flag not one no

44:39

rage drama nothing

44:41

nothing showed out over the last year

44:44

and that tells me that there's something buried so

44:46

deep that mo being in town

44:48

lit the wick to everything

44:50

that was suppressed prior to that

44:52

will this also makes me wonder if

44:54

she had spent the months between january

44:56

and may planning to kill

44:59

mariah if she ever was seen

45:01

with call and again since her friend

45:03

who had called of with the tip of

45:05

said that she allegedly say that that she wanted

45:07

to kill mariah back in january of twenty twenty

45:10

two so i think about all the things

45:12

that it would take to the off the radar when

45:14

you're being hunted by law enforcement the an f

45:16

b i and a public and how i

45:18

don't think that she could have sorted out a plan

45:20

like this in less than two

45:22

the yeah so she might have

45:24

been planning for this for quite some time

45:26

right the you and

45:29

murray armstrong is five feet

45:31

eight inches tall has reddish

45:33

brown hair hazel eyes

45:35

and weighs approximately one hundred and twenty five

45:38

pounds we urge everyone

45:40

to look at photos of her which you

45:42

can find on our so souls or online

45:45

and call the austin police if

45:47

you spot her anywhere

45:49

the most recent news on this

45:51

case us marshals have sent

45:53

a public page two caitlin

45:55

armstrong the asking her to surrender

45:58

stating quote hum for

46:00

word surrender to authorities

46:02

it's just a matter of time we're

46:04

working day in and day out

46:07

we'd like to safely bring you into custody

46:09

so you can have your day and court and

46:11

kelly your side of the story at

46:15

this point caitlin is considered

46:17

armed and dangerous and after

46:19

police initially notice her jeep cherokee

46:21

at their home and then it has

46:24

been missing alongside her as

46:26

we know she was last spotted at the laguardia

46:29

airport since she flew there from texas so

46:31

it doesn't seem like she could have possibly take

46:33

it or car with her wherever she went though

46:35

investing after believe that the whereabouts

46:38

of her car could be the porch and

46:40

and noted to the public that she may

46:42

be traveling in it again

46:44

it's a black two thousand and twelve

46:46

at jeep cherokee and her texas

46:49

a license plate is l

46:51

d zero five say zero

46:54

eight the day

46:56

before this episode releases the day we're

46:58

recording it caitlin armstrong

47:00

was allegedly spotted on me

47:03

eighteen to twenty twenty two

47:05

at the newark new jersey airport this news

47:07

came out this morning so the day before we're

47:09

we're releasing it this

47:12

is one day after the warrant

47:14

for her arrest was issued and four

47:16

days after she flew into their

47:18

laguardia airport in new york

47:21

here is the official statement from the

47:23

us marshals twitter quotes the

47:26

us marshals lone star fugitive

47:28

task force has learned that caitlin

47:30

marie armstrong was dropped

47:32

off at the newark liberty international

47:34

airport on may eighteen however

47:38

there were no it outbound flight reservations

47:41

under her name sound at all

47:43

which is leading investigators to

47:45

think that she is using an alias

47:48

what i'm wondering is how the person

47:50

who believes they spotted her knew

47:53

it was her like did she look the same

47:55

because if she is using an alias i

47:57

would assume she would also change for appear

48:00

and and killing doesn't have it's probably

48:02

unique look to her i'd say maybe her long

48:04

curly reddish hair is the most unique

48:06

standout trade a lot

48:08

of women look like her so did

48:11

she use an alias or was this

48:13

a case of mistaken identity and this

48:15

woman was not caitlin or

48:17

did she get dropped off to make it look like you're

48:20

going to the airport but then did and i mean

48:22

know each other so many questions yeah there's

48:24

a lot of different possibilities but again i

48:26

just want to see this license plate so that it

48:28

can stick in and your guys his head's

48:30

a little bit better sold her license

48:32

plate for that vehicle is vehicle d c

48:35

five six zero eight

48:37

the read them i see this is because it's possible

48:40

that she did fly somewhere

48:42

it's possible that she didn't but if

48:45

in fact they do find her car they could find clues

48:47

that could lead to her right what we

48:49

do know that she definitely got on a plane

48:51

because there's evidence of that and also there are

48:53

all those photos of her at the airport so we know

48:55

that she did fly to new york the

48:58

happening here is that this is still

49:00

on

49:00

the last three weeks ago that

49:02

she was in supposedly in

49:05

new jersey and it's the most

49:07

the center count as of now so authorities

49:10

are still very behind

49:12

and there hasn't yet been any footage

49:15

release or publicly discussed of

49:17

caitlin at the newark new jersey airport

49:19

which is why it's hard to even come from that term

49:22

then i think that's why this case need so

49:25

much more attention is because

49:27

the last sighting was weeks ago

49:29

i don't read yeah absolutely i think

49:32

you're so right and that's a big reason why we wanted to cover

49:34

this case because again the

49:36

fact that she is still at large

49:38

is mind blowing to me and the fact that

49:40

this the most recent account and it was three

49:42

weeks though is what

49:45

how so of i think maybe

49:48

yeah i know this is a really big story in the news and

49:50

a lot of you guys are probably heard about it but we

49:52

need test you know share more absolutely

49:54

i definitely agree cohen

49:57

stricklin himself as in hiding the

50:00

from police

50:01

caitlin for fear that he could be

50:03

in danger when

50:06

and collins friend david told

50:08

the media quote none of us can

50:10

sleep he's staying out of sight

50:12

until she's caught i do

50:14

know where he is but i'm not mentioning

50:16

were for his safety he's

50:19

not in texas he's got completely

50:21

out of dodge for anyone

50:23
