TX - Moriah Wilson, 25, Cyclist Fatally Shot Before Race, Austin, 2022 *arrest* #5

[Seattle1]

Hard to explain why you would flee on a false passport unless the idea was to run from justice

Might they argue she feared she would be fitted up?

I'm not worried about KA's defense.

Fortunately, the rules of evidence will be a big boost for the prosecution here that we don't typically see.

The difference with this case is just about everything here leading up to and including the trip to CR is indicative of consciousness of guilt, and will be admitted as evidence.

Rule 403 - the probative value of KA's acts weighs in favor of admissibility.

And based on the number of motions recently piled on by the defense, IMO, all this talk of a speedy trial was not sincere, and was used by the defense for media hit and to get a response out of the prosecution, which the defense wasted no time to turn around and use against the prosecution (i.e., sanctions if defense later stalls the case, etc.).

So she had cash from the sale of her car AND:
Numerous credit cards under various names: Kaitlin Armstrong, Wheelhouse Mobile, Colin Strickland, and Dynamis Racing
AND
Papers with handwritten names, phone numbers, and credit card numbers

What if KA's sister had full knowledge of the use of her passport? KA seems to have had access to a lot of funds. I'd like to know the limits on those cards. She apparently had no qualms about using funds in CS's name & businesses shared or individually owned by him. What knowledge did he have of her plans & the funding thereof?

This seems to have been a more well-founded & planned attempt to flee from justice. I no longer think she pulled this off alone. I really don't.

Beth, Liz, Ari, Alisson, Christine....
And another fake last name, too (Martin, Paige)? Handwritten names & credit card numbers? Very interesting!

MOO

I assume that CS could have cancelled the credit card that was in his name, unless this was a joint account and he was the main credit card holder and had added her name. But if that is the case, then a bank will normally issue a second card in that card holder's name.

KA and CS may have had joint accounts and credit cards for Wheelhouse Mobile and Dynamis Racing, time will tell.

With regard to the handwritten credit card numbers, I wonder if KA's father and sister maybe gave her their credit card numbers for her to use in case she needed them. This would explain why they were handwritten and she didn't have the actual cards with her.

Names and phone numbers don't raise any red flags, of course, since she would need to take them with her to be able to contact family and anyone else close to her.

There's nothing wrong with using joint accounts. Also I wonder if CS helped KA get out of Austin, which at the time would have been legal. Reading the transcript with how he felt manipulated by LE to drive a narrative and seeing now what she had in her possession in Costa Rica, it's noticeable that she's not been hit with credit card theft/fraud and all sorts of other things, which could get her decades in federal prison unless of course CS helped her out for as long as it was legal of him to do so and when it no longer legal he cancelled his card but didn't report it as stolen.

Wait wait wait.... didn't that letter/receipt from the plastic surgery place also contain a redacted passport number? I remember many of us assumed the redacted name was her sister's, and that she was planning on presenting the letter with her sister's passport when traveling in the future as explanation for why she doesn't match the photo.

So does an "Alisson Paige" exist, and did KA have access to her passport?

Edit: Added photo of receipt. Note: there is a version on Twitter that shows a passport # was included but it's not from an allowable source so can't link here. Wonder why Inside Edition went back and blurred that entire part out.

Edit #2: This article contains the tweet where you can see the letter with less redaction. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10976111/Fugitive-yoga-teacher-traveled-sisters-passport-PLASTIC-SURGERY.html

Wow. I respectfully disagree & think that LE and the prosecutor would too. Just because we haven't anyone else charged with some form of culpability in any of her crimes, doesn't mean no one will be. Maybe she had a legal right to use all of those credit cards (if she did use them). But maybe not.

I just find the whole scenario from the night of the crime she spent with CS forward to the NY contact with her sister then the fleeing to be fishy from a co-conspirator standpoint. Whether that ever leads to legal charges or not.

Let's not close the stable door until all the horses are accounted for. Just because they are roaming free right now doesn't mean they shouldn't lawyer up.

I don't trust KA, CA or CS and will always have questions about the latter two whether they ever face charges or not. YMMV

What's with all the aliases? There have to be specific reasons for the invention & use of each IMO. If so, that makes meticulous planning seem likely. Perhaps even started in advance of the murder?

She'd have been a lot more difficult to find if she had settled for being like a million other women: Ann Smith, Elizabeth Andrews, Julie Watson....

I'm thinking she just grabbed her entire wallet when she fled. I doubt she would have been dumb enough to use any of the cards linked to her when she was hiding out.

Wow, just WOW! Who is Alisson Paige?!

 

[hurryhome]

So... let's just feed the seed of doubt the defense is trying to plant, and say KA was *not* the perpetrator. Let's just imagine that her energy healer (or whatever) lived near CC and she happened to have been there for her appointment without knowing CS and MW were together in the alley behind the house, 7 minutes earlier, coincidentally.

Who else could have possibly committed this crime? Who could be the "some other dude?" Is defense team wanting us to speculate about a random crime, because MW had a nice bike bag on the porch? Any other possible ideas?

Just throwing it out there, because I've been pretty tunnel-visioned on the alleged as the perpetrator, but in all fairness (to the accused and to the victim) would like to consider the question.

A fourth party just feels more unlikely... but the vandalism story was strange, and the way CS spoke about KA was certainly different than had been described in the affidavit. I need more clarity on the ballistics.

thanks for playing MOO

I wonder if she stole someone's identity who was already living in CR?
I've always said I think there was a 3rd passport....

So... let's just feed the seed of doubt the defense is trying to plant, and say KA was *not* the perpetrator. Let's just imagine that her energy healer (or whatever) lived near CC and she happened to have been there for her appointment without even knowing CS and MW were on a motorcycle in the alley behind the house, 7 minutes earlier, coincidentally.

Who else could have possibly committed this crime? Who could be the "some other dude?" Is speculation leading to the idea of a random crime because MW had a nice bike bag on the porch? Any other possible ideas?

Just throwing it out there, because I've been pretty tunnel-visioned on the alleged as the perpetrator, but want to question my own bias after reading the documents the defense released, and in all fairness (to the accused and to the victim) would like to consider the question.

I mean it is possible… but so unlikely I agree. And why flee then? Her fleeing and hiding says guilty in a big way to me.

 

[Mrspratcher]

And so did @Seattle1!

Or maybe it was someone’s identity from Austin? Discovery will hopefully provide us with more info.

The fleeing is what will do her in. MOO.

 

[BUF]

Wow, just WOW! Who is Alisson Paige?!

IDK, but had to google the name Alison Paige (spelled slightly different from this article) who is a country singer that coincidentally has a similar nose to KA’s new nose along with what could be some other similar features.

 

[Seattle1]

The fleeing is what will do her in. MOO.

Absolutely, and coupled with discovery rules that provide for consciousness of guilt evidence to be admitted! The fraudster is done.

If this were the case (not saying it is, I am just playing along with a scenario of SODDI) -- KA could have fled because she knew she would look like a guilty party since the had told MW to stay away from CS, tracked MW on an app, etc. Fled because she panicked, knowing she would likely be the top suspect. Fled hoping the real perpetrator would be caught. Fled because she was worried that some unknown pissed-off person was picking off CS's girlfriends and she feared being next. None of those scenarios would reflect smart behavior but there are plenty of people who make poor decisions. MOO.

(And please don't lecture me, folks. I am playing along with the thought exercise, not saying I agree with those possible scenarios.)
