How Did a Yoga Instructor Get Away With Murder for 43 Days? | Kaitlin Armstrong Case

Kaitlin Armstrong was a yoga instructor and real estate agent in Austin, Texas — composed, disciplined, and completely in control of how she appeared to the world. On May 11th, 2022, she shot professional cyclist Mo Wilson three times in a bathroom in East Austin. Then she sold her car for cash, flew to Costa Rica on her sister's passport, paid $6,000 for a nose job, and went surfing for 43 days. This is her case — and Mo Wilson's story.

In this episode of GBRLIFE Of Crimes, we go beyond the love triangle narrative to look at what this case actually reveals — about identity built entirely on image, about anxious attachment and narcissistic injury, about the danger hiding inside someone who looks completely fine, and about what Colin Strickland knew and chose to manage around instead of warn anyone about.

This isn't a crime of passion. It's something colder than that. And it deserves a closer look.

In This Episode:

• Who Kaitlin Armstrong was before the crime — the image she constructed and what was underneath it

• Mo Wilson — Dartmouth engineer, nationally ranked skier, rising pro cyclist, and the person this story too often forgets to center

• Colin Strickland

• The four months between January and May 2022 — tracking Mo on Strava, visiting a shooting range, and telling friends what she intended to do

• 43 days on the run — aliases, a Costa Rican surgeon, and the fake job listing that caught her

• The trial — two weeks of circumstantial evidence and a jury that deliberated for under three hours

• The 90-year sentence — and the grace Mo Wilson's mother showed in that courtroom

• The psychology behind it all — anxious attachment, narcissistic injury, and what premeditation actually looks like
