In a shocking turn of events, Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, the woman charged with the murder of professional cyclist Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson, attempted to escape custody on Wednesday. Armstrong, who is currently awaiting trial, was being escorted to a doctor's appointment when she made a daring escape attempt. Travis County Sheriff spokesperson Kristen Dark revealed that Armstrong managed to run about a block and a half before being apprehended by two corrections officers who never lost sight of her.

The entire incident unfolded in a mere 10 minutes, leaving those involved in a state of disbelief. After being restrained once again, Armstrong was immediately taken to a local hospital to ensure her well-being before being returned to jail. Dark confirmed that Armstrong will face additional charges for her attempted escape, although these have not yet been updated in her online booking information.

These recent events add yet another layer of intrigue to the already complex case surrounding the murder of Anna Moriah Wilson. Wilson, a talented mountain biking and gravel racer, was tragically shot multiple times in an Austin home in May 2022. The investigation into her murder uncovered a romantic link between Armstrong and Wilson through their shared relationship with professional cyclist Colin Strickland.

According to an arrest affidavit, Armstrong had been in a relationship with Strickland for three years before the couple went on a break. During this time, Strickland began seeing Wilson. The affidavit also revealed that Armstrong discovered this relationship in January and was overcome with fury and anger. This revelation sheds light on a possible motive for Wilson's murder.

The case took an international turn when Armstrong fled the country on a fraudulent passport, evading authorities for 43 days. She was eventually captured in Costa Rica and brought back to the United States to face justice. Reports suggest that Armstrong attempted to change her appearance and used multiple aliases while hiding out in Costa Rica, trying to establish herself as a yoga instructor.

Armstrong's attempted escape brings further questions about the level of security and supervision she is under while awaiting trial. Travis County Sheriff spokeswoman Kristen Dark declined to disclose specific details about Armstrong's restraints or the reason for her doctor's appointment. However, she did confirm that Armstrong was under constant surveillance and that no firearms were drawn during the pursuit.

As the investigation into Anna Moriah Wilson's murder continues, Armstrong maintains her plea of not guilty. She now faces additional charges for her attempted escape, further complicating an already highly publicized case. NBC News has reached out to Armstrong's attorney, Rick Cofer, for comment, but no response has been received at this time. The trial is expected to proceed with heightened security measures to prevent any further attempts at escape.
