PLURAL passports? Interesting. Did she have her sister’s passport before going to NY?
I think the likelihood of successfully arguing crime of sudden passion defense is flying away as quickly as KA did, with this latest revelation. Multiple passports (I assume the same ones she had in her possession in Costa Rica) in her possession before she even left for NY just screams 'premeditated and preplanned', and imo, someone else is slowly being pulled into the radar of appearing to possibly be complicit. That is all I will say, so as not to incur the wrath of the mods. JMO

I agree!

Suddenly a well-paid person in Austin is working for some remote "retreat" in New York? They might need to put a tail on her. If it's not too late! MOO

Stranger and stranger as more is leaked out. Sure wish we were able to see those search warrants.

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 also would like to know know more about that $450K he supposedly gave to KA and he said she didn’t return to him before leaving.

Did he even have that kind of money? Surely LE has applied for search warrants on bank records.

Me too. Where’s that money?

Agreed.

1. And she had access to $$ 450K but indigent?
2. And does shooting range show premeditation?

The more than one passport in her purse during the search suggests pre-meditation. I mean, who carries even one passport in their purse unless they plan to use it? And you generally use it for travel. You only precisely need it for travel abroad.

But I certainly don't keep my passport on me routinely, otherwise a thief has access to my passport and my credit cards all in one theft?

And, it sounds like she already had more than one passport before she left Austin....

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.

Oh we are thinking the same!! Because how would she already have CA’s passport if CA was in NY? Or did CA still have a home in Austin where she left the passport, and KA went and retrieved it? The plot thickens.

LE might have frozen this $450k account.

KA seems to have thought she'd be low on funds in CR.
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!

On the three passports possibility..... I think maybe one with a pseudonym.

Who knows, maybe she'd used (this) third passport for some totally other nefarious activity, e.g. to move money around without being traced.

I'm thinking KA had Anon's (i.e. Anonymous's) and her own passports in her purse in Austin, and that she got her sister's in NY.

……
Before she fled, the warrants note that police found passports – plural – in her purse on May 12, the day they seized two of her cellphones.
RSBM

Wait..what? KA had multiple passports in her purse on May 12? This was prior to leaving for New York, right? Did police have a search warrant for her purse, yet could not detain her after questioning?

Quote RSBM. What do you mean? (By the last two sentences?)

(BTW, I could not find sUitable RSBM on the abbreviation list. For my own education, what does it stand for? Thank you).

About that Sig Sauer gun. A couple of threads before, people were wondering how KA did not get rid of the gun on her way back home. Because much as a disappeared gun is not a great thing, the shells from the crime scene matching your gun lying in a box, in your house, are a serious clue.

My explanation- she thought that LE won’t connect her to the crime, but CS might.

JMO . I think that KA thought over crime, that it was not spontaneous. Technically speaking, in this case, it is important not to leave the clues for the LE. The action when you return the gun back is meant is meant to not arise suspicion in your partner when in the morning he wakes up and hears (for sure, early, from the cycling community) that MW has been killed.

What reaction from him KA expected from CS? Probably, some emotional one, fear, anger, loss.

What reaction did the police get from him, IRL, initially? Very logical. From the affidavit, it would seem that his goal is to minimize own connection with MW. Now, not for a second do I suspect CS in the crime. What I see, though, is CS simply thinking of himself, his reputation. Mo becomes “some woman”, KA is the most nonviolent person by him. At the time when he got to know about Mo being killed, in the morning, he ought to have connected some dots in his head, he has been in this situation between Mo and KA for a while. And KA wasn’t at home when he returned. But CS is seemingly concerned about another thing, negative PR should the link between him and MW, or his GF and MW get known.

And now I think, of the two, KA has friends, is, per all accounts, social, has lived with CS for three years. Why misjudge her partner so much? How well does she understand people, their acts and connections? How come she didn’t foresee that his reaction would be strictly that of preserving his own name and his business?
