The woman captured in Costa Rica after being accused of killing elite cyclist Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson in Texas has been returned to the US to face murder charges, the US Marshals Service told CNN Saturday.
Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, is suspected of fatally shooting Wilson at an Austin home on May 11. A week later, she was seen at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport, where she boarded a flight to San Jose, Costa Rica, officials said.
Earlier this week, Armstrong was found at a hostel on Santa Teresa Beach in Provincia de Puntarenas, and her deportation process began, Marshals officials said. She used a passport "that did not correspond to her identity" to enter Costa Rica, officials there said.
