Maybe LE <modsnip> by not arresting Armstrong she'd be more useful moving freely around...obviously, they didn't think she would go missing--they should have at least assigned a tail on her.
Yes, given what we know about Strickland's actions, I definitely wonder about this as well. Did he concoct a ridiculous story about MW to try to placate KA? JMO.
Who knows what CS was telling MW about the status of his relationship with KA? He does not seem trustworthy, to say the least. JMO.
Yes--it is very odd to me too--why didn't she settle the score with Strickland by giving him the ultimatum? Armstrong was clearly more angry with Wilson. I think some women view their relationship with men in terms of competing against other women, rather than seeing the relationship as being independent of another woman's interest in her man or her man's interest in the other woman. Clearly, the "man" in all of this is part of the perverse game.
According to this news article, the home that KA and CS lived in was owned by KA.

Yes, it will be interesting to see the power dynamics between Armstrong and Strickland as it relates to the murder of Wilson. It does look like she contributed/controlled the home and business assets...but sadly had no control over herself or Strickland leading her to murder Wilson.
From MSM article link above (and reposted below), it sounds like CS bought the two guns in January, around the time that KA found out about the relationship between CS and MW from the fall. See below, BBM.
Yoga teacher, 34, 'murders world class cyclist, 25, in jealous rage'
MoriahWilson, 25, was the leading gravel racer in the U.S., having only just turned professional. She was murdered in Austin on May 11. The girlfriend of a male cyclist has been charged with the murder.www.dailymail.co.uk
Strickland and Armstrong got back together shortly after his fling with Wilson but his girlfriend only found out about the one-week dalliance in January.
The Austin American Statesman reported that Armstrong 'became furious and was shaking in anger,' according to a tipster who spoke with police.

Armstrong allegedly told the tipster that she wanted to kill Wilson and that she had either recently purchased a firearm or was going to, according to the affidavit, obtained by Fox 7 Austin.

Strickland told police that he purchased two 9mm handguns for him and Armstrong around this time.
It appears that KA and CS own and operate a retro mobile trailer customization business called “Wheelhouse Mobile.”

Yikes. I would like to know what came first -- the purchase of the guns, or the discovery of infidelity.
Docs Detail ‘Furious’ Jealousy of Woman Accused of Killing Cycling Star
After Anna Moriah Wilson was killed police questioned Kaitlin Armstrong about an unrelated misdemeanor before they were forced to let her go. She is now on the run.www.thedailybeast.com
On May 14, three days after Wilson was found dead, an anonymous caller contacted the Austin PD.
“The caller refused to be identified but advised she was with Armstrong in January 2022,” the affidavit explains. “The caller advised Armstrong had just discovered Strickland was having a romantic relationship with Wilson even though Armstrong and Strickland were still dating. The caller advised Armstrong became furious and was shaking in anger. Armstrong told the caller Armstrong was so angry Armstrong wanted to kill Wilson. Armstrong then proceeded to tell the caller Armstrong had either recently purchased a firearm or was going to.”
I also think it's odd that LE found MW's bike 60 feet from the apartment in a thicket of bamboo. What murderer takes the time to do that, risking bringing additional attention and risk of being seen? Maybe she did that before allegedly shooting her. Or maybe MW saw that happen through the window and it caused her to open the door to see what was happening.
Re her being a “financial guru yoga instructor” she was also a realtor at Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty, as mentioned a few places including this article. Austin Cops Have Issued an Arrest Warrant For the Murder of Cyclist Moriah Wilson
Even though a neighbors home camera caught KA ‘s vehicle on the street, I don’t think it showed her near it at all. KA might have driven down the street but then parked the car on another nearby street to be more inconspicuous and approached the house by foot. In the affidavit it says a witness reported hearing someone running down the steps of the house between 830 and 930pm and observed someone on a bike going southbound. The bike was found dumped south of the house. So maybe KA was trying to make a fast getaway to her car via MW’s bike, although KA is not a cycling racer she is just a mere participant as CS told the investigators (sarcasm). Or maybe messing with her beloved bike was another way KA was showing spite or contempt to MW?
