The original murder made it to the OT, here's an update:

US authorities have revealed that they captured the convicted killer of the professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson with a clever ruse: by placing an advertisement on social media purportedly seeking a yoga instructor, which in turn lured the fugitive out of hiding.

Investigators with the US Marshals Service came up with the ad idea while on an international manhunt for Kaitlin Armstrong, a former yoga instructor who had fled to Costa Rica after killing the 25-year-old Wilson in May 2022 in Austin, Texas, according to newly released information on the case reported on Sunday by the CBS News show 48 Hours.


quote:

Armstrong evaded authorities for a month and a half by using her sister’s passport to fly to Costa Rica. She assumed several fake identities and underwent plastic surgery to change her appearance.


quote:

Investigators even enlisted a female operative to take local yoga classes with the hopes of spotting Armstrong, a yoga enthusiast. But police were unable to locate her.

In a last ditch effort, US investigators posted an advertisement looking for a yoga teacher on Facebook.

“Just saying, hey, we’re at this hostel, we’re looking for a yoga instructor as soon as possible. Please contact us at this number,” Fernandez told CBS of the advertisement.

After nearly a week of no responses, Armstrong reached out saying she was interested in the job.

Police arrested Armstrong after confirming she had indeed been the one to respond to the ad, and they extradited her back to Texas to face charges.

Vietnam would deport her anyways for being illegal, they don't like people overstaying their welcome there.

She is doing a 90-year bid and is not eligible for parole until 2052-07-03.

If I remember, some people used free tickets to the Super Bowl or a big game to people with warrants and had a mass round up.

Opelika cops did this with free Iron Bowl tickets to catch dead beat dads who were behind on child support.

Was it the US Marshals using a fake event for a fake organization? Or was it actually the US Marshals saying THEY needed a yoga instructor?
