TX - Moriah Wilson, Cyclist Fatally Shot Before Race, Austin, #4

[Mrspratcher]

Fox news has an article about KA practicing with her sister at a gun range. Also says that CS had I believe liquidated finances for KA at this time. I may not have it completely right but something to that effect.

“Strickland had also given Armstrong $450,000 as investment capital. According to the warrants, he asked for it back, but she did not return it before fleeing the state on May 14.”

Twice to the head, then in the chest, while down. As we suspected, MW’s murder was organized and driven by personal, extreme rage. IMO

On the evening of May 11, police found Wilson dead on a bathroom floor with at least three bullet wounds, two to the head and a third to her chest that allegedly occurred "after she was already laying supine on the floor." She had an exit wound on her back, and police found a bullet and chipped tile beneath her.

Now we have some evidence that CS was trying to separate from KA, at least financially / as a business partner. We don’t know if he asked this prior to the murder. Will be interesting to learn when the ask happened, and what precipitated it.

The big question - why in the H E L L did he buy KA a gun?

I've always thought the passport subject was more complicated than the general drift here. My suspicions have increased after seeing this search with passports (plural). It's possible there's a third passport with a name we do not know yet.

@Seattle1 called it!

“A woman, listed as a communications team member, answered the phone Tuesday at the camp where Christie Armstrong was living and hung up when a reporter identified himself.”

Likely Christine.

Hello there! I’ve been watching this thread for awhile and finally registered so that I could be part of the discussion. Do any of you know if CA is still living at the retreat? I would think a place that promotes a stress-free “peace+love“ environment would want to distance themselves from someone who is connected to a murder case, even if that person is innocent..IMO. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate the unwanted attention and speculation flying around. I‘d be surprised if she’s still staying there.

Hi, and welcome to the discussion.
I’m not sure if CA is still there, and if she was the one who hung up on the reporter yesterday in the FOX NEWS article. The woman did in fact have CA’s job title. If she’s in fact still there, it must indeed be difficult dealing with her sister’s criminal situation.

For sure. I mean don’t get me wrong, I can understand them wanting to support their friend. But the fact that KA had CA’s passport must have them side eyeing CA a bit? I wonder if they observed anything off when KA came to visit. Would love to know more about that!

How is this evidence of an attempt by CS to separate from KA? "Here's $450K now get out of my life" then anticipate seeing her at home for dinner that night & seeing her last on May 13? I guess that's called keeping your friends close, but you're enemies closer (so to speak)?

And once again we only have words of CS to rely on.... so.... I'm not holding my breath. Unless LE has proof.

PLURAL passports? Interesting. Did she have her sister’s passport before going to NY?

She probably had her current passport and one of her expired passports.

Let us remember she was fleeing from justice when she went to NY (even if the official warrant came after). This was no ordinary "visit". JMO

Now that I read the warrant, sounds right. Two passports in her name. When I got my new passport, I had to present my old one to the passport office. They didn’t collect it from me, but they did punch holes in it. It was expired anyway and wasn’t valid.

So far we have KA stalking Mo on Strava, KA also physically stalking her (drive bys). We have the anonymous tipster who said KA was so angry, was shaking, and wanted to kill Mo, and that she had recently acquired a weapon. We have heard about KA confronting Mo in person at an earlier event. Now we learn KA was actively practicing at an unnamed gun range with her sister, whose passport she used to flee the US. I agree with @SteveP , this is sounding more and more premeditated than a crime of passion.

I think following someone on Strava might not necessarily be considered as stalking, in a court of law. Drive-bys could be related to looking for her live in boyfriend, an anonymous tipster is not beievable in a court of law unless tipster shows up and testifes under oath, and let's remember that CS bought the gun for KA, perhaps for safety. Also KA confronting MW at an earlier event does not mean that KA planned/premeditated the murder. I would expect a confrontation at an event between the two of them, given they are in a triangle relationship with the same man. Also, practicing at a gun range with a new gun is not unusual, surprising that CS bought a gun and he wasn't at the range practicing with them. So far, all seems circumstantial to me in relation to premeditation.

Yes, if you pick them apart one by one - each seems innocent enough. Put them all together, and it makes it look premeditated JMO

If frozen though, wouldn’t she still have to list it on her financial affidavit to apply for indigent status?

Edit: Fixed my hilarious typo!

KA might not have been able to return the investment funds so quickly if they were invested. Do we know the date that CS asked for the funds back?

If they were CS's funds and KA was simply the investor (given her finance experience), then I don't think she would have to list them as her funds.

Slippery isn’t it? My bet is that CS will never see that money again.

Or maybe CS was nervous about the investment at this time with finances changing.

Also, each loses its innocence when put within the context of a murder occurring. While @Sundog is correct that following someone on Strava does not constitute stalking, when you follow up that following by shooting the person multiple times in the head and torso, I imagine to a jury it would then seem so.
