A lawyer for captured fugitive Kaitlin Armstrong is accusing
police of using an invalid arrest warrant against the Texas yoga-
instructor-turned-murder-suspect, according to local reports.

Armstrong, 34, is accused of killing cyclist Moriah "Mo" Wilson,
25, in Austin in May and using a passport that was not hers to
try and evade arrest. She was on the run for 43 days before U.S.
Marshals captured her on a remote beach in Costa Rica after
Austin police obtained a murder warrant in Wilson's death.

But Rick Cofer, Armstrong's attorney, is arguing that a
misdemeanor warrant obtained by the Austin Police Department
(APD) in May used in Armstrong's initial arrest � before she was
released � was invalid, and therefore prosecutors should not be
allowed to use evidence gathered against the suspect thus far,
The Austin-American Statesman first reported.

He also alleges that when APD officers initially questioned
Armstrong at her home on May 12 following Wilson's May 11
shooting death, they did not read her Miranda rights and did not
let Armstrong leave until she asked for the sixth time.

Detectives apprehended Armstrong that day on an outstanding
class B warrant for her arrest. Authorities interviewed the 34-
year-old but mistakenly released her from custody on the
misdemeanor warrant because her date of birth in the
department�s report management system does not match the date of
birth on the warrant, according to Austin Police Department
Homicide Det. Richard Spitler.

Cofer is arguing that because the warrant was allegedly invalid,
prosecutors should not be allowed to use evidence in the case
because it was gathered under inappropriate terms, according to
the Statesman.

Neither Cofer nor the Travis County Attorney's Office
immediately responded to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

Wilson had been in Austin for a bike race in May.

Armstrong's boyfriend, 35-year-old professional cyclist Colin
Strickland, told police that he had picked up Wilson, whom he
knew from previous races and a brief fling in October 2021, on
his motorcycle to go swimming on the day of her death. He also
told police he lied to Armstrong about his whereabouts before
dropping off Wilson that night after they got food, but he
apparently did not see "anyone nearby."

Security footage obtained by police apparently shows a black SUV
with a large bike rack parking near the Maple Avenue residence a
minute after Wilson returned home on the evening of May 11. The
next day, the U.S. Marshals Texas Lone Star Fugitive Task Force
drove to Strickland's address, where Armstrong was living, and
observed a 2012 black Jeep Cherokee with a large bike rack "that
appeared to be the same vehicle observed on surveillance
footage." Strickland told police that the Jeep belongs to
Armstrong.

On May 13, Armstrong sold her black Jeep Grand Cherokee that
allegedly appeared in surveillance footage outside the Austin
home where Wilson was staying on the day of her death. Four days
later, APD issued a warrant for her arrest in connection to
Wilson's death, but Armstrong was nowhere to be found.

Officers discovered two 9 m.m. guns in Strickland's home, one of
which investigators determined to be "significant to the
investigation." The professional cyclist told authorities he
purchased two firearms between December 2021 and January 2022,
including one for Strickland.

Armstrong apparently used a passport that did not belong to her
when she flew to Costa Rica, where she settled into a hostel in
Santa Teresa Beach in Provincia de Puntarenas, authorities said
at the time.

A GoFundMe called the "Moriah �Mo� Wilson Fund" created by her
family says "Moriah inspired many, lived fully, and loved
fiercely." The fundraiser aims to garner donations "to help fund
community organizations that help youth find self-confidence,
strength, and joy through biking, skiing, and other activities
that Moriah was passionate about."
