US Marshals were able to track [KA] by doing what they call a 'wild card' search.

On realizing Armstrong's own passport hadn't been used to leave the US, they entered the details of passports belonging to people close to Armstrong to see whether they'd been used recently.

Investigators hit the jackpot with her sister Christine, according to Today and Good Morning America. It is unclear if Christine was aware that her passport had been taken by her sister, and she isn't facing any criminal charges.

Well, this seems to verify what most of us have known, at least since seeing the two passports in the locker in Costa Rica, and many suspected, even before then. JMO.

I have always questioned when and where KA died and cut her hair. She obviously did this to try to match the passport she used to enter into Costa Rica. The person who dropped her off at the airport to catch this flight would have been aware of this change.

Trying to post this gingerly…
Her hair was still long and red when she was picked up on airport surveillance in NY, so I’m thinking she cut and dyed it while in NY after she decided to take CA’s passport, and I’m thinking that probably happened before she got on the plane to CR. She probably did a touch up in CR as well.
 
Catching up! Websleuths was not loading for me last night or this morning. I’m still having trouble, but what about this DNA info? How does this work? Do they swab her at the jail? Will her attorney try to stop this?
Her attorney cannot stop the collection of her DNA, according to what I read here. The last paragraph particularly applies.

State has some right to take DNA samples​

Depending on the crime, the state of Texas has some right to take DNA samples from the accused person or suspect, but not a complete right. The timing and the means for collecting the DNA sample depend on the charge and on the person’s criminal record.

If an accused person is indicted or arrested for a violent or sex-related crime such as sexual assault, the state has the legal right to take a DNA sample via blood or cheek swab (also is known as a buccal swab).

Such samples can be taken at arrest or booking (when information about an arrest is recorded at a police station) or at arraignment (a hearing in court when a person is formally charged). DNA sample collection is handled at arraignment if the person has no previous convictions. If the accused has prior convictions, the sample is taken at booking.

Police can also take a DNA sample if they have a search warrant to do so or if they have what is known as “probable cause” that the suspect committed the crime. A court may also order that a blood sample with DNA be collected after a person has been convicted of a felony in Texas.

 
From the timeline in the affidavit I just posted above, I believe KA was already nearby waiting and I can't imagine she wouldn't have at least heard CS leaving on his bike (usually they're not exactly quiet). I think seeing/hearing him drive off is what prompted her to park and go when she did. A two minute difference only -- that is quite a coincidence.
I agree, she saw and heard the CS drive-away on his motorcycle, by this point she was totally consumed with fire, emotionally engulfed. Only way for her to expiate the flames was to pull the trigger.

Court TV has reported that a credit card and Covid vaccination card where also found in KA’s locker, but I haven’t seen any other outlet state this information. Will be interesting if true! Whose credit card? Whose vaccination card? CA’s also? Also, wasn’t it reported that CA applied for a new driver’s license shortly after KA’s arrival to NY?

Correct. Seeing as she’s a fugitive apprehended on a federal warrant and being prosecuted by the state of Texas for murder 1, and currently incarcerated, they certainly do have the power to get a DNA sample. @SteveP , do you have any idea if the warrant can be viewed online, and where?

I looked at the Travis County Sheriff's Office Warrant Search page, but I was unable to find one. If it has already been served, or is considered confidential, it may not show up on that page. JMO
 
Re: Kaitlin's alcoholic mother
"But the sisters' social success hid a dark past. According to David, Armstrong confided that their mother had been an alcoholic and that she 'never wanted to be like her'.

She also told him that their brother had struggled with drug abuse and that she planned to bring him to Lockhart to work at the trailer business.

He said: 'Her brother was on a bad path and bad patterns with his decision making and she was just trying to be there to be able to help."

Thanks! Yes, I get the sense that it’s probably a confidential warrant.

Whose credit card? Whose vaccination card? CA’s also? Also, wasn’t it reported that CA applied for a new driver’s license shortly after KA’s arrival to NY?
CourtTV had a video of someone from Inside Edition who said when they found the 2 passports and a bill from AVA surgical center in the locker that was opened, they also found a credit card and vaccine card belonging to KA…and showed photos of them.

If I can find the video again, I’ll post it.

I wonder if the credit card was just a gift card purchase and not in anyone's name. She may have bought a few $500 visa gift cards before leaving the U.S.
 
I haven't seen anything in MSM about their home life growing up but would be interested in reading more if you can direct me or share any links. Thanks!

Here's a link to info on KA's mother being an alcoholic when she was growing up.

Here’s the Court TV video where they interview a reporter from Inside Edition. They don’t show photos of the credit card, vaccine card, or social security card, but it’s mentioned they were all found in KA’s locker. Sounds like the vaccine card was hers.
 
New Federal charges against Armstrong carry possible 10 years in prison

Oh yeah, charges are starting to pile up now. Looks like her high-dollar attorney is going to earn his money on this case.

Wow, so not only was she able to skate through using someone else's passport, but the airline ticket had that person's name slightly misspelled! Wonder if she bought the ticket on her phone and sloppily typed in the details or if it was done at the airport counter by a ticketing agent.

On or about May 18, 2022, Armstrong entered Newark Liberty
International Airport (“Newark Airport”) in Newark, New Jersey. Armstrong,
who travelled alone, boarded a flight bound for Juan Santamaría Airport, Costa
Rica and presented a ticket in another individual’s name (“Individual-1”),1 a
person known to Armstrong and whom Armstrong represented as herself.
Video surveillance footage shows Armstrong presenting a passport while at
Newark Airport. According to records maintained by the Department of
Homeland Security, Armstrong presented a United States Passport (“Passport-
1”) in the name of Individual-1 in connection with her departure from the
United States.

1 The ticket contained what appears be a slight misspelling of Individual-1’s name.
