A woman who was arrested in Costa Rica on Thursday after being accused of murdering a pro cyclist will be held on a $3.5 million bond. Kaitlin Armstrong must also surrender her passport prior to release, and will be GPS monitored, according to court records from Travis County.
Armstrong was discovered in hostel on Santa Teresa Beach in Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, earlier this week, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. Armstrong was expected to be returned to the United States, where she faces a murder charge in the death of Anna Moriah Wilson, the agency said. Vermont native Wilson, a competitive gravel and mountain bike racer known as "Mo," had been in Austin, Texas, for a cycling event.
Wilson was found in an Austin home with gunshot wounds on May 11. Responding officers performed CPR, but she died at the scene. The 25-year-old was in Austin for a cycling race — she was from Vermont.
