28
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,720

00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: to hear this case.

30
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,560

44
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,120

00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 7: home to find the twenty five year old unconscious with

54
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,880

00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 7: They're urging anyone with information or video of what happened

56
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800

57
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,360

00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 7: low cost race in Hiko, where she was a favorite

59
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 7: to win.

60
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: You know, when I hear year the address Maple Avenue,

61
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: that sounds straight out of a storybook. And from what

62
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I've learned, this is a pretty richy area there in Austin.

63
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: Joining me an all star panel, But let me first,

64
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: go straight out to Tony Plahetski, longtime friend, colleague, investigative

65
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: reporter with The Austin American Statesman and kV U E

66
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Twitter at t Plahetski. Tony, tell me about East Austin.

67
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I got the word gentrified from you. What do you

68
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: mean by that? I mean Maple Avenue. It sounds like

69
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: it's out of a fable a book. It sounds so

70
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: peaceful and idyllic. To have somebody the number one female

71
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: gravel cyclist in the world gunned down dead and apartment

72
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: doesn't fit with Maple Avenue.

73
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 8: Well, so, over the years, this area of East Austin

74
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 8: has truly been transformed.

75
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Tony Plohetsky, just stop right there. Let

76
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: me just call it like it is. It reminds me of

77
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: when I moved to Atlanta and started prosecuting at Inner

78
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: City Atlanta's Fulton District Attorney's office.

79
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: I lived in Midtown and at.

80
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: That time, every morning, when I would come out of

81
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: my apartment, I'd go to my car and there would

82
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 1: be gin bottles and pantyhose, syringes, rubbers, empty bottles of liquor,

83
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: and pantyhose. Because hookers and attics would come up and

84
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: down my alley where I lived to shoot up and

85
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: conduct business. Let me just say then it went gentrified.

86
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: People that wanted to live close to all the high

87
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: rise skyscrapers and businesses downtown wanted to move there.

88
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: They pump their money into it, fixed it all up.

89
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Everybody had lawns and fancy apartments and fancy cars.

90
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: I had to move. I couldn't afford it anymore. Is

91
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: that what you're saying.

92
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 8: That's exactly what I'm saying. It is a carbon copy

93
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 8: of what you just described. And so this area where

94
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 8: Mariah Wilson was murdered is now home to high ride

95
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 8: apartments town home that are very trendy. A lot of

96
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 8: young people in our city live in this area who

97
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 8: have moved to Austin from all over the country to

98
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 8: work in tech, for example, And so it's really an

99
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 8: area dominated increasingly by that population.

100
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: I know what you mean.

101
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Gin bottles and pantyhose in the alley one day, then

102
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: valet parking and high rises the next day.

103
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: I get it.

104
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: What I'm getting at is there's a very low crime

105
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: rate on Maple Avenue. Take a listen to our friends

106
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: Carissa Lemoukel on Fox.

107
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: Seven Surprise Everybody, East, Austin residence.

108
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 9: Michael Harris is talking about what happened the night of

109
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 9: May eleventh. Shocked to hear that a young prominent cyclist

110
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 9: was shot and killed while staying in the house across

111
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 9: the street.

112
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 10: I lived here almost two years and I've never maybe

113
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 10: seen two police calls passed by.

114
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: This is where this neighborhood is.

115
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 11: We all just marveled at, you know, just flut In,

116
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 11: a wonderful personality and a great athlete and an ambassador

117
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 11: for our support. And then all of a sudden, how

118
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 11: could this happen? And everyone's just sort of reeling from it.

119
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: In addition to reporter Carissa, you're also hearing from the

120
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: director of the Belgian Waffle Ride in California, Michael Marx.

121
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: Everyone knew her and loved her.

122
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Now, when I hear gravel cycling, it's hard enough to

123
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: race in sand to get your bike to go through.

124
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: So why are you looking at me like that, Jackie?

125
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: Are you imagining trying to ride a bike through sand

126
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: much less gravel?

127
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: Tell me about this? What is is? Tony Plahetsky.

128
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 8: It's an endurance, I mean it is where the Yeah,

129
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 8: I mean really really a very competitive sport across the country,

130
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 8: really across the world, and Mariah Wilson, as you mentioned,

131
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 8: was a star in that world. She had already a mass,

132
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 8: a certain amount of acclaim, but she was really on

133
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 8: her way. Even her competitors, her most fierce competitors, admired

134
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 8: her and her stamina, her just natural born athleticism, but

135
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 8: also nancy her personality. I mean, when they talk about her,

136
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 8: they actually don't lead with the fact that she was

137
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 8: this amazing athlete. They lead with talking about her kindness

138
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 8: and her spirit and the happiness.

139
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Joseph Scott Moregun, host of a hit news series Body

140
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Bags with Joseph Scott Moregun on iHeart jo Scott just

141
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: right off the bat.

142
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: This woman, I can tell you.

143
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: She's in a single dwelling apartment, she's unarmed, and she's

144
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: shot multiple times.

145
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: I don't like it.

146
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: We don't have any evidence of rape or burglary. So

147
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: why is somebody coming into this apartment if there was

148
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: in fact a break in and gutting her down multiple times?

149
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 10: Yeah.

150
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 12: And one of the things that kind of interests me

151
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 12: is that when she was found, she was not found

152
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 12: in like the foyer. She wasn't found at the entrance.

153
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 12: She was actually found in the bathroom, which gives me

154
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 12: an indication that unless there is an obvious sign that

155
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 12: someone kicked in the door or you know, pried open

156
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 12: a window or maybe entered through a back door, even

157
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 12: if there was a back door, that this may have

158
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 12: been a location of retreat, you know, when people are

159
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 12: being attacked. The moment that I read this and heard it,

160
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 12: you know, the fact that she was in the bathroom.

161
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 12: You know, who feels comfortable with entering the bathroom with

162
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 12: someone else. She's retreated to that point. Maybe she was

163
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 12: forced in there, you know, when you know one of

164
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 12: the things like if you have bad weather, people tell

165
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 12: you to retreat to. The bathroom is generally the most

166
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 12: secure area in the house if you don't have a

167
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 12: basement or something, and it could be an area where

168
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 12: sound is muffled. For instance, because Nancy, when they found her,

169
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 12: her body is bloodsoaked and there are and this is

170
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 12: very key, there are multiple spent shell casings laying about

171
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 12: her body in this approximate area.

172
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, the so called glam yoga

173
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: instructor guilty. According to an Austin, Texas jury. After hearing

174
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: the last sounds Morale Mayah ever made screaming before she

175
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: was gunned down dead. This according to a neighbor's video cam.

176
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just the screen that they heard. It

177
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: was a mountain of evidence that piled up, bit by

178
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: bit to convict the so called glam yoga teacher of murder.

179
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: Exactly what do we know about what happened the day

180
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: of the murder? She's in the bathroom. You think it

181
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: was a very good chance she ran to the bathroom.

182
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: I agree on multiple spent shell casings around her. That

183
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: tells me this is not a pro because you would

184
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: take the time to pick them up. Shell Nutt with

185
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: me Also James shell Nutt twenty seven years a Metro

186
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: major case Also swap now lawyer with the shell Mutt

187
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: firm on Twitter at shell nut Law Firm. Right there,

188
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: we know it's someone that's not a pro because the

189
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: pro after the killing would pick up the shell casings

190
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: because they, just like a bullet, can be matched back

191
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: like a fingerprint to the weapon. Because once you get,

192
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: if you ever get the murder weapon, when the shell

193
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: comes out, there is an ejector mark the shell, although

194
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: it may not hurl down the barrel is ejected.

195
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: Think of an ejection seat in a plane.

196
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: The shell is ejected out and the force of leaving

197
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: the weapon leaves a mark on the shell, unlike any

198
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: other marking from any other gun on a shell.

199
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: Agree, disagree, shell not agree, one.

200
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 10: Hundred And what that allows you to do is to

201
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 10: go back and do further investigation to see if a

202
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 10: person that you suspect being involved in a crime had

203
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 10: access to a weapon that would leave that type of

204
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 10: strike mark on the showcase.

205
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: Expect to you, Tony Plhetski, Where was she staying? Whose apartment?

206
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: Was this?

207
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 8: A friend, a longtime friend who does live in Austin,

208
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 8: And that friend had actually picked her up at the

209
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 8: airport and given her a special code, an access code

210
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 8: to her apartment so that she could go and come

211
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 8: as she pleased. And so that's what Mariah Wilson had done.

212
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 8: I mean, there are other things that she had been

213
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 8: doing out on the town while she had been here

214
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 8: just a couple of days actually, by the time that

215
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 8: she had been been found.

216
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: In just a couple of days in Austin. And now

217
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: she's dead. With me, Tony Plahetski is joining as Tony

218
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: with the Austin American Statesman. I'm glad you mentioned that code,

219
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: that special access code. Take a listen to hour cut

220
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: seventeen our friends at crime online dot com.

221
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 13: At first, suspecting a robbery, police and can check the home.

222
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 13: The only thing missing was Anna Wilson's specialized s Works bicycle.

223
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 13: As officers checked the area, Wilson's bicycle was found around

224
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 13: sixty eight feet south of Cash's home, hidden in thick bamboo.

225
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 13: The investigation quickly turned from interrupted robbery to homicide as

226
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 13: Cash explained that she has specialized electronic locks on her

227
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 13: door that unlocked by using a unique code. Cash It

228
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 13: provided Wilson with a new code, with Cash getting a

229
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 13: phone notification when the door is either locked or unlocked.

230
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 13: At eight thirty six pm, Wilson came home.

231
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: You know that's very very interesting. Let me go to

232
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: another special guest joining us. It is Runya Mancarius, CEO

233
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Crime Stoppers of Houston, author of the online world what

234
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: You Think you Know and What You Don't. You can

235
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: find her at Ranyamancarius dot com.

236
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: Runya, thank you for being with us.

237
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: Thanks so very much and for all of your hard

238
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: work with crime starers of Houston run you.

239
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: When I was writing Don't Be a.

240
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Victim, I researched about how you, of course should always

241
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: change your code on everything you've got, your iPad, your

242
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: cell phone, you're recording, your home answering machine, if you

243
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: have one, your code in and out of your home,

244
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: your gatecode, everything. Don't leave it on factory set because

245
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: you can look that up online, and predators do look

246
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: it up online to find out what the factory setting is.

247
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: And most of the world, believe it or not, that

248
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: has a code. If any type puts in one two

249
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: three four or one one one one or two two

250
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: two two, it's very very simple to crack that code.

251
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: That's when I learned researching for Don't Be a Victim,

252
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: that you can have your code to get into your

253
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: apartment like this friend had, and then you can give

254
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: visitors their own code so you don't have to ex

255
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: out your code every time you have a visitor and

256
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: they leave and come up with a new one, which

257
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: I think is really really smart. When you have visitors,

258
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: you assign them a different code that works with your system.

259
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: That sounds like what happened here.

260
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 14: Ronya, Yeah, and I agreed, And that sounds like what

261
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 14: Caitlin Cash did. She assigned Mariah her own unique code

262
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 14: and has since said that she's erased that code and

263
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 14: has changed her code. But she was doing everything she

264
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 14: could to keep herself safe and to keep her guests faith.

265
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 14: But that move, that very smart move, really is helping

266
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 14: law enforcement in this case. And it's something we advise

267
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 14: all people to do, is we embrace technology, and we

268
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 14: look to have smart homes and smart technology in our homes.

269
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 14: We want people to utilize this in a way that

270
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 14: keeps them safe.

271
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: So let's get right down to it. To dactor Sherry

272
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 3: Schwartz joining me.

273
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: Forensic psychologist specializing in capital mitigation. She's the author of

274
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: Criminal Behavior and Where a Lawn Psychology Intersect. Doctor Sherry Schwartz,

275
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us from Miami Beach today, Doctor Sherry.

276
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: That's when you feel at home.

277
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: You feel at home when you go into a secure

278
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: apartment that you can only get in with a special

279
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: code devised for you. Why am I saying this? Who

280
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: would have had that code? Who could have figured out

281
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: that code? Or could the perp have somehow gotten in

282
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: behind her? Did she not lock the door when she

283
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: went in, and following up on what Joe Scott Morgan

284
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: said that it seems as if the victim, this world class,

285
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: gorgeous twenty five year old cyclist, had retreated to the bathroom,

286
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: or maybe she was just in the bathroom. But I

287
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: know where defenses were down, doctor Sherry. She thought she

288
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: was safe, correct.

289
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 14: She walked through the door.

290
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 15: I mean, maybe she did forget to lock it or

291
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 15: didn't maybe thought it was locked. It's a new environment

292
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 15: for her. She's a guest at this location, so maybe

293
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 15: she didn't think about how to lock the door, maybe

294
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 15: thought it locked automatically behind her. But you're right, she

295
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 15: probably felt very safe and secure and headed to use

296
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 15: the restroom like many of us do when we first

297
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 15: get home.

298
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 8: So this is nothing unusual. And if I.

299
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 15: Feel safe and secure in a location, I'm not necessarily

300
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 15: going to be hyper vigilant looking for someone, especially if

301
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 15: I'm at home looking for someone who's going to be

302
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 15: coming in behind me.

303
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: You know, it was interesting.

304
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Tony Polhetski joining me from the Austin American Statesman. Tony,

305
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like there was a struggle. I wonder

306
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: if the person had secret to themselves in the home,

307
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: if they followed in behind her, if she didn't lock

308
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: the door.

309
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: If she didn't use the code.

310
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: But I don't hear anything about a struggle, ensuing any

311
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: evidence of a struggle.

312
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: It sounds like Mariah. It was just shot, stone cold dead.

313
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 8: That's exactly right, in a pool of blood on the floor.

314
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 8: And so that is how her friend Caitlyn found her,

315
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 8: and that is how the police found her when they arrived.

316
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: Guys, take a listen to our cut sixteen, because I'm

317
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what happened. Where was this friend

318
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: whose apartment she was using, staying there with the friend

319
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: who was it? And what happened in the hours leading

320
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: up to this world class cyclist murder.

321
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 13: Friend Caitlyn Cash picked up Wilson at the airport. Wilson

322
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 13: was to stay at Cash's home until the race. The

323
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 13: next day, Cash received a text from Wilson saying that

324
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 13: she was meeting a friend named Colin to go swimming

325
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 13: that afternoon. Around five point thirty, as Cash left to

326
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 13: go meet friends for dinner, she noticed Wilson's large bicycle

327
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 13: travel bag outside the front door on the elevated port.

328
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 13: Cash says she told Wilson to move the bag inside

329
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 13: so it wouldn't be stolen, but when Cash came home

330
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 13: from dinner, large bicycle travel bag was at the bottom

331
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 13: of the stairs, partially blocking the carport. As she went inside,

332
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 13: the front door was unlocked and Wilson was lying on

333
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 13: the bathroom floor covered in blood.

334
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: Kayler Armstrong guilty of murder. A beautiful young woman herself

335
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: that conserned with jealousy over her boyfriend Colin Strickland's relationship

336
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: with an ex girlfriend. A renowned, a world renown dirt bicyclist. Guys,

337
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: take a listen now we finally get a tiny break

338
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: in the case.

339
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 3: Our cut eighteen from Crime Online.

340
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 13: Detectives turned to video as they discover a surveillance camera

341
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 13: mounted on the exterior of a home nearby. The camera

342
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 13: face the driveway next to Cash's home. The footage showed

343
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 13: a dark colored suv drive past at eight thirty seven pm,

344
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 13: that's one minute after Wilson entered Cash's home. The suv

345
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 13: slowed down, appearing to come to was stomp directly next

346
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 13: to Cash's residence. The suv had a large bicycle rack

347
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 13: mounted on the trailer hitch of the vehicle. A luggage

348
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 13: rack mounted on the roof and chrome around the windows.

349
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 13: No other vehicles were seen on video surveillance until emergency

350
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 13: vehicles arrived.

351
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: Okay, what did we ever do, James shell Knott before

352
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: video surveillance, ring doorbells, the works. So tell me the

353
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: significance because in my mind it's going to be tough

354
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: to explain that this black suv was on the scene

355
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: one minute before.

356
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's pretty significant information. I mean, now

357
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 10: you've got a potential suspect vehicle identified, and if you

358
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 10: can tie that to someone who may have a reason

359
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 10: to have hurt mode, then at that point you've got

360
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 10: something you're going to want to go back and look

361
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 10: and say, Okay, what are the usual suspects? You know,

362
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 10: the usual suspects promotive in murder cases when you don't

363
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 10: know who did it, you're always going to want to

364
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 10: look at money, sex and revenge, and can you tie

365
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 10: that vehicle to someone who would have had one of

366
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 10: those motives?

367
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm curious to Ronya man carry is joining

368
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: me with Crime Stoppers of Houston and author the art

369
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: of identifying a vehicle is very, very sophisticated.

370
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: Every year to two years.

371
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: Car manufacturers change subtle portions of the make and model.

372
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: For instance, they may change the tail light, they may

373
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: turn it from two tail light pains to three, or

374
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: they may slant it, or they may change something about

375
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: the bumper or the wheels. I mean it changes every

376
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: couple of years. They don't keep the same exact model

377
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: for a reason. So there are people and car car theft,

378
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: stolen cars.

379
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 3: Just like there's a homicide squad, there's theft squad.

380
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: There's a burglary squad, there is crimes on children, a

381
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: crime on women's squad, there's a white collar crime squad.

382
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: So these guys and women in car theft, they know

383
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: all of this. And if they can get a look

384
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: at the make and model, they can tell you the year.

385
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: If they can even get a partial tag, they can

386
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: find out who that belongs to fairly quickly.

387
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: Would you agree, run ya absolutely?

388
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 14: I agree, And then let's just see we kind of

389
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 14: brushed over the fact that a local camera on an

390
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 14: exterior of a neighbor's building really.

391
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: Costs the video.

392
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 14: That's critical because to your point, cars are changing constantly.

393
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 14: People you have eyewitnesses to the scene that will be

394
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 14: able to say I think of the black people. I

395
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 14: think it was a jeep that I'm not sure, but

396
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 14: that video surveillance, even if it's just the tail light,

397
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 14: gives law enforcement so much information, including potentially the tag,

398
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 14: and that's what we had in this case, and that

399
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 14: was what was absolutely critical in identifying the.

400
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 3: Suspect moving forward.

401
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: Take a listen to our cut eleven our friends at CBS.

402
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 16: She was lasting a live on Sir Vellance video being

403
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 16: dropped off at the home by a local professional cyclist,

404
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 16: Colin Strickland, who never went inside. APD says during the

405
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 16: investigations or villains video showed a black, deep grand Cherokee

406
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 16: drove past the house just one minute after Wilson went inside.

407
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: Okay, right there, we're getting somebody else ruled out. We

408
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: know that she had gone.

409
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Swimming that day, earlier in the day with somebody named

410
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: Colin Strickland. But did I hear this correctly, Tony Ploheitski

411
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: that the surveillance video shows Strickland bringing her home, never

412
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: going in and leaving. Correct, That is exact right, And

413
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: Strickland was not driving a black suv.

414
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 8: He was not. He was, as a matter of fact,

415
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 8: on his motorcycle.

416
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: Oh Okay, well that clears that up.

417
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: So who is in the black suv? Take a listen

418
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: to our cut nine our friends at Fox seven.

419
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 17: Armstrong's car was seen on surveillance video at Wilson's friends home.

420
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 17: Wilson's friend later came home to find Wilson with multiple

421
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 17: gunshot wounds. We went to the home where the crime

422
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 17: happened and the address listed for Armstrong and Strickland. No response.

423
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 17: We tried calling Strickland as well.

424
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 6: Sorry, the person we were trying to reach has a

425
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: blue sail box but has not been sent up yet.

426
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've rolled out Colin Strickland, who dropped off

427
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: on a motorcycle?

428
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 3: Who Tony Plahatski is Armstrong.

429
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 8: Armstrong is Colin Strickland's girlfriend of three years, and they

430
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 8: lived together here in Austin and actually operate a business

431
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 8: together in the Austin area.

432
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: Caitlin Marie Armstrong, age thirty four, is the living girlfriend

433
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: of Colin Strickland. Colin Strickland is who Mariah went swimming with.

434
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 8: That's exactly right. Mariah and Colin Strickland had gone to

435
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 8: a well known pool community pool here in Austin called

436
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 8: d Betty and went swimming together and then picked up

437
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 8: a couple of burgers at a nearby popular spot, and

438
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 8: then as we know, he dropped her off back at

439
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 8: the apartment on her motorflight.

440
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: Take a listen to our cut ten Angela Shan Fox seven.

441
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 17: The search is on for Kaitlin Armstrong. Officials are asking

442
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 17: for the public's help and finding her. According to the

443
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 17: Core of Paperwork, an anonymous caller had called police seeing

444
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 17: Armstrong said she wanted to kill Wilson after finding out

445
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 17: she was involved with her boyfriend. Now The affidavit says

446
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 17: the knight of the murder, Wilson went for a swim

447
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 17: with Colin Strickland, another cyclist. After that he dropped her

448
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 17: off at her friend's house. Wilson was visiting from California

449
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 17: and was in Austin ahead of a race in Hiko.

450
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 17: The PaperWorks as Strickland and Caitlyn Armstrong were in a

451
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 17: relationship before briefly ending it for a couple of weeks

452
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 17: last year. At that time he was involved with Wilson.

453
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 17: Armstrong's car was seen on surveillance video at Wilson's friend's home.

454
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: I understand Mariah was not in a love relationship as

455
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: sex relationship with Colin Strickland.

456
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: Explain this love triangle.

457
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 8: So Mariah and Colin Strickland did have a relationship months

458
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 8: ago while he was apparently broken up with Kristin Armstrong.

459
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 8: That is what he tells the police. They that they

460
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 8: had to.

461
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: Slow down and tell me the dates and everything else.

462
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 3: You know.

463
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: It was last fall in October when Colin reports almost

464
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 2: a year ago when when Colin reports that he and

465
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: arms Strong or broken up and that he did have

466
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: a brief relationship with Mariah Wilson. However, since that time,

467
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: according to him and what he told police is that

468
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: they had been friends.

469
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 3: Can you say relationship?

470
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Are you talking about a love relationship, a sex relationship?

471
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 8: It was made, from my understanding, a romantic relationship. I

472
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 8: mean that that is the way that it has been described.

473
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So let me understand this.

474
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: About a year ago, when Colin Strickland was broken up

475
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: with Caitlin Armstrong, he had a love relationship with Mariah Wilson,

476
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: the cycling star.

477
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: Right, that's right, and then.

478
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: They called it off and he got back with Kaitlin Armstrong.

479
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: Is that right?

480
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 8: That is correct?

481
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: Okay, go from there, and so over.

482
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 8: Time over the past several months, Mariah and Strickland did

483
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 8: maintain contact and apparently their relationship transitioned more into platonic,

484
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 8: more into friendship. But at the same time, Caitlin Armstrong

485
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 8: discovered this relationship and was able to learn more vote

486
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 8: from Hollin Strickland himself and also apparently looking at a

487
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 8: cell phone, learned more about his ongoing friendship with Mariah

488
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 8: Wilson and did not like it. And so that that

489
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 8: is what he told police as part of a very

490
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 8: lengthy interview.

491
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, even though they were platonic, she still didn't

492
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: like it.

493
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 8: That's exactly. That exactly is the understanding.

494
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: Crime stories.

495
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: With Nancy Grace Moe Wilson in town for a competition,

496
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: she never made it back home, all thanks to the

497
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: jealous yoga guru Caitlyn Armstrong. Run Ya Man carry us

498
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: joining us from Crime Stoppers Houston. I would get all

499
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: of Caitlyn Armstrong aged thirty four cell phone records and

500
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: if she's got a landline, and I would find out

501
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: how many times she had been checking her boyfriend's messages

502
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: and cell phone messages. I would want to find out

503
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: how she hacked into his email. Everything I could prove

504
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: digitally to see how long she had been doing a

505
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: slow burn over her boyfriend Colin Strickland's relationship now platon

506
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Nick with Mariah the cyclist Star.

507
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 14: Well, it looks like that's what they've been doing, and

508
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 14: they've uncovered that Colin and Mariah had been exchanging text

509
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 14: and phone calls, although he changed Mariah's name on his

510
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 14: phone to not infuriate his girlfriend, but she discovered it

511
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 14: and she started calling Mariah incessantly. Mariah blocked the number,

512
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 14: started following her on Instagram and and following her on

513
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 14: what we understand to be Strava, a fitness app, to

514
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 14: determine her whereabouts, so we can see Caitlin's actions.

515
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: That's going, Oh, white, white, white, white white. What did

516
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: you say about an app?

517
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 14: It's called Strava or Strava, and it basically allows a

518
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 14: cyclist to check in and show his or her followers,

519
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 14: you know, the point of departure for a bike ride,

520
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 14: and then the point of return.

521
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 8: And apparently, uh.

522
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 14: You know, Wilson had had pinged her location to the

523
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 14: home of Caitlin Cash as a start of the bike

524
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 14: ride and as a point of where she returned. And

525
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 14: that's where we believe our learned.

526
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Of Wilson's whereabout, so she would like chart her her

527
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: bike courses online so her followers can know where she

528
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: was riding.

529
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 14: And it's very common, you know, given technology today, a

530
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 14: lot of us live our daily lives, sharing our exact

531
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 14: whereabouts in real time with this community and network of

532
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 14: people who follow us. That's a big thing that I

533
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 14: talk about in terms of how dangerous that really is

534
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 14: and really can.

535
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: Be so dangerous. A ridiculous love triangle.

536
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 8: Absolutely, and that is one of the things that so

537
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 8: many people have commented upon. I mean, when you look

538
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 8: at Armstrong, it is her public image and even her

539
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 8: image among people who knew her fans and start contrast

540
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 8: to what she is now accused of doing. She is

541
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 8: described as successful, accomplished in her own right in the

542
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 8: world of business. She was a yoga instructor for several

543
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 8: years in Bali, and so.

544
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: People you mean Caitlyn Armstrong, and so people are so

545
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: she was a yogi she was, and Bali.

546
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 8: No less, and so people are trying to reconcile that

547
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 8: image of her based on what police are saying she did.

548
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the video and there's no doubt about it.

549
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: You see Armstrong's black suv going back and forth. It's

550
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: a jeep Cherokee driving around outside the home.

551
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: She's just circling it like a vulture.

552
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: The cars again spotted that night after the I guess

553
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: the love object, Collin Strickland drops off the victim. Twenty

554
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: five year old marine Wilson and his yogi girlfriend just

555
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: cut and stand at yoga teacher Caitlyn Armstrong, Joe Scott Morgan.

556
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: How are they processing the scene? How are we going

557
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: to prove that it is in fact the yoga loving

558
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: girlfriend Caitlyn Armstrong.

559
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 12: Well, I'm glad you asked that question because Austin Austin

560
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 12: PD actually served a warrant. Let's go back to where

561
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 12: she was domiciled with Strickland, and this is what they

562
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 12: found out. They actually recovered two pistols at that scene,

563
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 12: one in which was a six hour nine millimeter. Guess

564
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 12: who had access to it? Only Armstrong, that's it. And

565
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 12: guess what else they did. They took this weapon and

566
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 12: they test fired it, and when they test fired it,

567
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 12: it came back. There is a high probability that those

568
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 12: ejected shells that they found at the scene match this

569
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 12: particular weapon.

570
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: And I can tell you another thing is this Nobody

571
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: asked if your a boyfriend or a husband is hiding

572
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: somebody's name and their cell phone out.

573
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: There's a reason he's hiding it. There is a reason.

574
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: I've checked my husband's.

575
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: Cell phone so many times my eyes bled. It was

576
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: so boring I quit. Also, he lied, didn't he lie?

577
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: Tony plattsk caive out where he was going that day?

578
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: He's going to a big municipal pool. Anybody can see

579
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: them the deep Eddy.

580
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 3: It's not like a watering hole.

581
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: It's a big municipal pool. Anybody could see him there.

582
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: Why did he have to lie about it, Tony?

583
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: Or did he?

584
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 8: Well? He lied? According to his text messages to Armstrong,

585
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 8: he lied to her about where he was. He described

586
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 8: his battery dying, that he had delivered flowers to someone

587
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 8: and then his ohone battery died.

588
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: A jury finds Caitlin Armstrong, the Yogi, the Texas Yogi,

589
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: guilty of murder. Exactly what is the evidence that led

590
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: to her conviction? Take a listen to the prosecutor.

591
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: She stood over her.

592
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 18: She shot her in the head twice and put another

593
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 18: bullet right in her heart. You heard doctor DERUSI to

594
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 18: Emmy that third bullet was right in her heart.

595
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 4: I submit to you.

596
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 18: She was up against the floor, two to the head

597
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 18: and she was laying on the floor, probably already dead,

598
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 18: and for good measure, the defendant walked up to her

599
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 18: and put another bullet right in her heart.

600
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 4: Why I'm said, she's a friend. What I'm said, she's

601
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 4: the best friend.

602
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 18: She told Jacqueline Chastein about the gun a month of

603
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 18: his after it was purchased. And we know Caitlyn called

604
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 18: Moe Wilson to come from her about Kate.

605
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 19: We know that from the cell phone records, and we

606
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 19: don't know exactly what she said, so I'm not gonna

607
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 19: put that out there, but we know she called her,

608
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 19: and we know Colin text her and said WTF and

609
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 19: we all know what that means.

610
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 4: And what's even more chilling.

611
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 18: Is that when the defender's two best friend heard that

612
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 18: Moe Wilson was dead, they called the police unsolicited and

613
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 18: they said, better check her out.

614
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 4: Caitlyn Cash over them on the front row.

615
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 18: When I talked to her, call me cash.

616
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 4: Caitlyn killed my friend. That's why we call a cash.

617
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 18: Kaitlyn with a secret, poor things, don't even.

618
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 4: Like her own name anymore.

619
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 18: She pumped her friend's heart over one hundred times. You

620
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 18: heard it on the nine one one call for ten

621
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 18: minutes until the first responders got there, not knowing she's

622
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 18: probably been dead for forty five minutes. Then she runs

623
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 18: the Costa Rica have plastic surgery on the beach, teaching

624
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 18: yoga while the Wilsons are trying to pick up the pieces.

625
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: The state has met this burden of proof beyond a

626
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 4: reasonable doubt.

627
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 18: I think we climbed past her mountain and climb Mount Everest.

628
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: Now this is what the defense had to say.

629
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 5: So what is the evidence that Kitlyn Armstrong is a

630
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 5: jealous psycho? Colin was not honest with Caitlin about his

631
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 5: special friend in Colorado, and Caitlin allegedly sent him a

632
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 5: photograph of that friend, the implication being number one, perhaps

633
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 5: she had been looking at his phone, and number two,

634
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: that she's crazy and jealous because when he was seeking

635
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 5: off to Colorado to meet up with the person sending

636
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 5: him inappropriate photographs, she had the temerity to not like it.

637
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 5: Colin said, I saw her get out of the Black Chief.

638
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 5: But that's not what he said the first time. He

639
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 5: testified in front of you a few weeks ago. It

640
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 5: was a Friday.

641
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 20: He said that, That's why I believe he was real hesitanting,

642
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 20: He wasn't rock solid. How amazing that the one fact

643
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 20: that he seemed to remember with greater clarity over time

644
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 20: was the single fact that drew attention away from him

645
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 20: and pointed the finger at Caitlyn Armstrong.

646
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 5: Coasta refa, what are you an idiot?

647
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: Come on?

648
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 18: She ran?

649
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 10: She ran?

650
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 5: Only a guilty person would run. Are you a fool?

651
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 2: Rick Koefer?

652
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 5: And yet you heard testimony that Caitlin was told by

653
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 5: the Austin Police Department free to go, ma'am.

654
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 20: And when she went to New York.

655
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 21: Free as a bird, just like any of the fourteen

656
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 21: of you. There was no way in the world that

657
00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 21: Caitlyn Armstrong could have had any awareness or knowledge in

658
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 21: any way whatsoever that there was a warrant for her arrest.

659
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago. She ran away.

660
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 5: They took her to a medical appointment and she ran away.

661
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 10: Guilty.

662
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 5: Why are we even here? Terrified woman, fearful woman in jail,

663
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 5: views injured, someone who doesn't want what they do?

664
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 19: Has been no testimony about the things he's talking about now,

665
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 19: I'm moving on and has anybody who wants to, but

666
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 19: he can't try to add whoever it is.

667
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: I know there's a verdict, and I know that many people,

668
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: including myself, believe this is justice. But as a crime

669
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: victim myself, I know there's no such thing as closure

670
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: for Mariah's parents and there never will be. Our prayers

671
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: with Mariah's family. Goodbye friend,
