If Kaitlin was so willing to leave her boyfriend and life behind all her worldly possessions, and live a new life in another country, why not just do that? Why only do this utterly life-changing event after murdering someone?! Why was murder necessary?! These people just baffle me.
LotL - Exactly.... it's as if she had no end game when planning to kill Mo.... although my hunch is she thought that she could kill Mo without being discovered as the killer and lived happily ever after with Colin. She only fled after the police made it clear she was their #1 suspect and the walls were closing in.
You know what's crazy? She could have done that before - She could've moved to Costa Rica, taught yoga, partied every night, forget about everything - BEFORE killing Moriah.... She ccould have lived in paradise, started a new life. That's why I'm saying, if you're not happy with your life, pretend you're running from the police ~ (Keyword: pretend)
She's saying the girl could have left the country before she murdered Moriah and lived her life. The quote is saying run like the police are after you if you are not happy with how your life is going. For example, abuse or something, or in this case, you need to murder someone for some reason.
A bunch of emotionally immature adults that don't understand boundaries, healthy dating dynamics, and managing emotions put together is a ticking timebomb.
@@ljones2087 and HOW do we take "personal accountabilty". You people always say that, yet you're never ever sphefic or tell us how to take personal accountability.
For me, I don't see Kaitlin is only jealous for love. She's insanely envied with Moriah's success as a victorious young professional cyclist, with her age and youth appearance. She was literally hated to see what Moriah had in her life. Rest in peace girl...
Undoubtedly. I imagine she was really threatened by Moriah’s dynamism, especially since she was so successful in the area her ‘love’ was most interested in. Thank goodness for being an underachiever!
Exactly. If Colin had been a faithful man instead of screwing around...it wouldn't have happened. Not condoning Moriah's part in that affair, so don't come for me, but far too often the women get blamed instead of the guy who decided to forget his commitments.
Same with those crazy dudes at clubs who throw themselves in jail for a couple weeks fighting another dude. If your partners is cheating let the new person have those problems, they’re not worth it.
@@ThatMontanaMom if someone’s willing to kill over being cheated on they’re probably fucked in the head and were a completely horrible partner. Psychotic people aren’t very good at the relationship thing.
Same! The other person didn't make a promise to be faithful, the person in the relationship did. The cheater is the one who wronged their partner, not the random person they cheated with. Be mad at the right person!
She’ll have many lonely years and deep regrets destroying her life and taking another woman’s life over a man, it’s never that serious ladies, that guy moved on to another woman.
He was dating her. She must've found out he was cheating, and like the psycho idiot she was, she got mad at the other woman instead of the man cheating on her
I thought he said they had a on again off again relationship? Cause if that’s the case it’s not cheating. They already broke up and she was just a jealous woman who can’t handle rejection.
Tbh, you can get away whit it. Things arent really that perfect. The ones that go are usually at remote locations though and they even look like accidents. Like, imagine someone push another off a cliff on a hike trip. What clue is there? Slipped and died is totally possible.
In America most murders go unpunished, even when you exclude the ones the US police commit every eight hours on average. There's no lock that cannot soon be bypassed or picked, and the same is true of surveillance; there's always a way to avoid being caught. We only hear about people getting caught because otherwise there's usually no story. If this particular person wanted to avoid capture she did it all wrong.
If you're a woman, you are probably 10 times more likely to get away with a crime, including murder. Even if you're caught, you won't get as bad of a punishment.
I can never understand why murder somebody instead of leaving a cheating partner. Not only is it the worst thing to do to someone, but you ruin your own life as well. Cheating (not sure if they were really cheating or what but the idea remains) is ofc bad but you don't murder someone because of it, you leave the relationship. I'm glad she was found relatively quickly. I hope Moriah will get justice.
Because some people are homicidal sociopaths /sykos . Where you & I I would walk away resentful from a cheating partner, but for them, they will deal with it differently.
Usually these cases happen when someone well...become obsessed They feel "he" or "she" is the trophy and they feel an obsessive compulsion to kill their "competition". The unfortunate reality is, it doesn't really matter in these cases. It's likely, had he left her entirely, she would have either killed him or her (or both) later. She certainly had the means and the temperament and it's commonplace to see a partner who domestically abuses (physically or emotionally) not take the news well if their victim decides to leave them.
Based on the dude's quote about her suddenly becoming more forceful, and just being jealous about him dating the victim despite having already split, it was all about power. To her, having her man all to herself matters more than breaking up with him and hooking up with someone else, since that would mean admitting defeat. Just because we're living in a period of peace, doesn't mean the mindset of being a conqueror doesn't exist anymore. If anything, it's more prevalent now since women are encouraged to be more open and their repressed feelings are finally being put to show, but there isn't a lot of things that can hold them back because they're still seen as delicate creatures regardless when it comes to being reprimanded. The concept of her wanting to feel ownership of someone else is hard for you to understand because it's typically seen as a male-only aspect. She probably thought the bf was gonna take all the heat. Not everyone is a true crime aficionado, so it hadn't crossed her mind that the law isn't as biased as the public.
The bizarre thing to me is that Colin hooked up briefly with Moriah while he and Kaitlin were broken up (reminds me of Ross and Rachel on Friends). Meanwhile she was bedding numerous men during this time. Then she’s enraged and jealous about his brief fling (that apparently meant more to Moriah than him) with Moriah! She must have felt incredibly threatened by Moriah to have reacted so badly to a fairly normal situation. Moriah clearly had more strength and character than Kaitlin; maybe that reality threw K into a murderous rage. Colin’s no prize by any means, but anyone can be seen as property by another. It’s pretty creepy that she had very assertive, maybe aggressive?, sex with him right after getting back from Moriah’s location (allegedly). Moriah deserved better than either of them. It’s tragic that these relationships cost her her life. Condolences to her family and many friends.
I think-not that she would ever admit to this-that those men she slept with were nothing to her; Moriah was a very accomplished, attractive woman, in the same circle as her and Collin…and then he kept seeing her on the down low, platonic or not. In other words, those men were disposable; Moriah was a threat. I guess. This whole thing is such a mess. Two talented, gifted women are destroyed over some trifling man who is playing both sides.

You know Racheal and Ross are tv characters. lol. :)
@@adamfarkas51 I don’t blame him for the murder. I think he’s trifling, but trifling isn’t against the law. It’s never a good idea to play head games with an unstable person, or anybody else, for that matter. But “blame the man”? No. Calm down.
I'm not going to lie, in my youth I've been crazy jealous a couple times but it never EVER crossed my mind to hurt anyone, let alone kill???!!! That is just insane.
He doesn't want to face the fact that he bears the blame because he was the one being sly about still seeing Moriah. Not to mention buying the gun for Armstrong.
Love is blind; so many parents, kids and partners just refuse to believe their loved one could act another way, than what theyve seen. Some even provide false evidence & alibis, fully knowing whats at stake. Its about self-image and self-preservation, I cant have been loving a monster all this time, so she/he must not have been a monster then and everybody else is wrong. Mental gymnastics on steroids. Especially if you are to bear some blame if accepting the truth, its just easier to block it all out. Fragile egos..
It’s unbelievable just how many seemingly “normal” people turn to murder. It’s hard to imagine the level of jealousy & hatred it would take to do that .. I can’t even try to understand how she or anyone can’t talk themselves out of killing someone! Would love to hear a psychologist’s analysis.
I find it absolutely hilarious that he said Austin must be doing something right for their city to have grown so much to have so many residents… Is this kid really that clueless about what is happening with mass immigration?! 🤦♀️
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 He shouldn't be clueless, the UK is having enough illegal/mass immigration. I'm sure he knows about what's going on in the US, but this story is not about that now, is it. Anyway, the immigration is in some part to do with places "doing something right" this is why people are emigrating/migrating, for the most part. I thought Texas was having more problems with migration from democrat states, if not now, when they start voting, lol.
@@fraggit No, Texas has overwhelmingly been having problems from migration from south of the border, not “migration from democrat states” (it’s not even close - you’re repeating a dishonest talking point that tries to misdirect from the actual invasion/replacement issue). This has been done against American citizen’s will for decades, by our trait. orous govt with the help of anti-American NGOs etc.. It has _NOTHING WHATSOEVER_ to do with “Austin is doing something right.”
Her trial started today. The article I read said that earlier this month (on 10/12/2023) Kaitlin escaped from officers who had taken her to a medical appointment. She was recaptured after a short chase.
When someone purchases a gun knowing it's for someone else, it's called a 'strawman buy'. This means that yes, if the police wish to pursue charges against Strickland, they can because he bought the gun for Kaitlin.
That's an example of a strawman buy. If the kid does something they're not supposed to w/ the gun their parents bought them, then the parents can be charged. Doesn't matter if it's a hunting riffle or a handgun
Well they aren't affairs because they were broken up. It's the continuing the affair after reconciliation that was not good on his end. Obviously not murderer status evil, but definitely uncool
This channel understands true crime on a level not even true crime shows on ID, NBC, etc don't. I am really surprised you haven't made it to the next level yet with a tv deal. You have a great angle and vibe with this channel..
It's scary how one person can be so possessive and obsessed with their partner until they end up killing the other party. Poor Moriah is so young and talented. Rest in peace beautiful. ❤
Yes, UNTIL she did the awful deed. Forgot all about him on the plane, suddenly didn't need him any more. Now she's going try and get him to pay for her crime. My friend slept with my husband. I just knew she would try it on, but I didn't know if he would bite, but he did. He crept home late at night after walking her home, covered in shame. I wasn't very happy about it, but I never thought about harming either of them. Nobody normal would.
@@irisiris2892 Nooo ! Took me many years to leave him but finally got there. Had been together for 18 minutes years. He was a controlling person especially regarding finances so as I didn't want a bitter divorce I gave him a favourable deal. But he conned me afterwards and stole back almost half of my settlement and money he owed my mother then went off and hid. I don't know where he went.
I will never understand why people always go after the person their significant other was involved with. Almost always NEVER going after the significant other that decided to have an affair. 🤦🏽♂️
I can’t imagine getting the call that my child is dead because of a love triangle. Her poor family, this girl deserved so much more than this, 25 years old you still have a whole life ahead of you. My condolences to those who are suffering due to this loss.
@@gorelash9056 - so i guess you're against giving anyone in the military a gun since they are all capable of violence and in fact are told to travel to foreign nations to kill people. Yet, for some strange reason, you have no problem with them having a gun.
I think Colin is culpable in Moriah’s death…the fact that he had to hide from his girlfriend that he was still in contact with her and changed her name in his phone says a lot…he knew he was playing with fire and the death of an innocent young woman was the result. This is not to lessen the responsibility on Kaitlyn, she is clearly unhinged and a murderer
The one thing I could think of was why she decided to stay friends with Colin when his ex is clearly nuts. For her own safety she should've stopped all contact with Colin too. It wasn't worth it, it got her murdered... Poor girl. He dumped her after only 2 weeks, probably because she said to him that he needed to tell the ex to stop harassing her. He clearly never had Morias back and for some reason favored the crazy... WTF I would not risk my life over a man that doesn't even have my back! And then Colin still sneakily hanging out with Moria after he got back with crazy ex again... Am I getting fuckboy vibes from Colin? WTF is going on??
It's been so awesome watching your channel blow up. Great concept, well researched, and amazing host. Keep up the good work sir! So happy your doing so well.
I was thinking the same thing. It's kind of like saying some people are more deserving of being murdered than others. Big deal she road bikes, it's not like she was saving lives or doing the many things many unsung heroes do every day of their lives. It's terrible she was murdered because she was an innocent human being, not because she was a talented bike rider.
It was not being said that M was less deserving to die because she was accomplished. This video is literally about M and her senseless murder. So, if the video is solely about her story, why would the content creator not highlight her accomplishments. He is not saying she didn’t deserve to die only because of her accomplishments, or comparing her to other murder victims.
Just because this particular victim was a very accomplished person, in no way implies some lives are more deserving than others. In this specific case, she happened to be very talented. Speaking about her accomplishments is to describe and understand the person, the victim. Don’t victimize her again by suggesting that there was something inappropriate concerning talking about who she, the person was, before becoming the victim that she is. Cheers. 🇨🇦
This shook the whole cycling community. My bf is a pro-cyclist and raced the same Lifetime Grand Prix event that Moriah was a part of. Pro-cycling is an extremely tight community, this is totally crazy and disturbing that this happened. What a coward thing to do to take someone’s life.
She had an outstanding warrant for unpaid botox treatments? Girl was getting botox in at 25? (And then skipping out on the bill😬) Forty is gonna come as a real shock to her. So is prison, for that matter. Looks like she'll get to experience both at the same time! RIP to Moriah💜
That’s actually the ideal time to start getting Botox as a preventative treatment, reducing lines before they get very deep rather than trying to correct them afterwards! Sorry, this isn’t relevant to the case at all, just something I wanted to add haha😂
@@Ratxmother I have heard that school of thought, starting Botox early as a preventative. The issue with that is that your body starts to form a resistance to it over several years, and eventually it just stops working at an age where you "need" it the most. (Obviously no one "needs" Botox but you know what I mean...) Long term use increases the chances of having other complications too. People who use it for decades often get really high foreheads or just end up looking kind of weird in general.
It´s absolutely impossible that in México they pronounce the word like you demonstrated, whoever told you that should be in one of your videos! Love your videos, BTW!
Give him a break! He’s not Mexican and is doing his best to give you content Really here in Mexico we wouldn’t mind your pronunciation if we can understand you
Nope just katlyn imagine breaking up with your ex to fuck other guys but the moment your ex finds someone to love you kill her. Take off the “Woman’s Always right” glasses and grow up.
I feel like Colin enjoyed playing these 2 women until it was no longer a game. He's one of those people that sets the house on fire then joins the crowd watching attempts being made to rescue the people inside. It's a shame he got away scot free. PS: Thank you for the Nero cameo
@@lunaloynaz-lopez2318 The other person literally wrote 'It's a shame he got away scot free', as if he should have been indicted for her murder. You conveniently chose to ignore that and used insults to deflect. Classic.
As a native Texan, it saddens me to say that Austin USED to be a very friendly place. Not so much anymore, as transplants from California took over. What used to be a city that would wave to the other guy to let them merge has turned into a city where people love to use their horns. A LOT. Sigh. I miss the Austin of the 1990s. Anyway, fascinating story extremely well told! Thanks!
The case seems incredibly straightforward, and yet, as Sherlock Holmes says, "it may be one of those simple cases which are extremely difficult...The more featureless and commonplace a crime is, the more difficult it is to bring it home."
Kaitlyn left so much evidence in her wake, she might as well left a signed confession at the scene. Not a very well planned murder, and somewhat amazing that she was able to make it out of the country.
Ugh I’m just making it to her interview with her helmet on talking about what she wants to do, she really was charming and like I wanna be her friend, she came off so warm and kind even in that short clip. My heart aches for her and everyone who knew and loved her.
I believe that not only was she jealous of Moriah for seeing Colin she was likely also very jealous of Mo’s accomplishments and that fact she was so popular within their “friend group”and that’s why she ran and left the man and her entire life after ending Mo’s … she basically just wanted that poor girl deceased.
THIS 💯- Kaitlyn's jealousy of this younger, happier, and much-loved woman destroyed both Moriah's and her own life. Although Kaitlyn had every reason to be thankful for her own life's blessings, her narcissistic jealousy wouldn't allow another woman, whom she saw as her competition, to have a life of success and joy. Jealousy is deadly, not only in body, but of the soul.
Agatha Christie had written once a story where the actual "brain" behind the murders is one who is really a very docile person and never did anything wrong; his part was to "awaken" the criminal site of the other persons; he could have never been caught if it wasn't for Mr. Poirot who explained the situation. Although the others were the killers, this unseemingly guy was causing them to do the murders. Somehow this case reminded me of this novel.
I mean... Sometimes I'm honestly surprised at what men women kill in these cases for. This is just... They're all pathetic in a way: she is for choosing this worm of a guy and he is for being blind and indifferent to the changes around him. Or even allowing them to happen just to please his ego. Not particularly the case here, but sometimes it is.
It's not about him, women like her always go after the other woman instead of the guy who's actually cheating on them. It's pathetic Edit: not that she should've killed him instead. She should've just dumped him lol
@@anthonyrusso6696 No one said that she was not to blame - she is a monster, but she took it out on the wrong person. If your boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on you. - blame THEM not the person they are using to cheat with!! If it was not Mo, It would end up being someone else. Of course she Kaitlyn is where she deserves to be, and looking at the overwhelming evidence she will never get out again!! Who in their right mind stalks and kills someone just because they suspect their boyfriend is seeing this person - instead of confronting the boyfriend ?? What did the idiot expect to achieve?? That she would eliminate the competition and they would live happily ever after??
@@ElaAusDemTal they didn’t say that it was only in the US. 🤦🏼♀️ They we’re pointing out the laws in the US, because this is being prosecuted in the US. Edit: spelling
This story is horrible and makes me so sad. What also angers me is the fact that Collin was not honest with these women. As far as we know there was no open relationship and he was meeting Moriah behind Kaitlyns back. This is and will never be an excuse for killing someone and at the same time i hope we can all learn to be more honest with eachother.
Colin did the math and knew Kaitlyn was aging out (her best years were behind her) while Moriah was in her twenties and had a longer future with him while in her physical prime. It's literally that simple.
@@sweetsirenaine - Of course women hit the wall. Just ask any guy. Women try to deny it because, like Elizabeth Holmes, they live in a fantasy world where immutable facts like age and looks don't matter (when in fact they do and most women, deep down inside know it). The fact that women wear make-up shows they are extraordinarily vain creatures who are obsessed with their looks which is inextricably linked to their age. Older men take Viagra because they no longer find their aged-out wife or girlfriend attractive. And the medical profession and big pharma don't like saying that so they invented this false narrative that older men 'somehow' get this mysterious condition called "erectile dysfunction." It's not politically correct to say they simply no longer find their wife or girlfriend attractive as they age. Kaitlin Armstrong was 35 and Moria was 25. Kaitlin knew she couldn't compete with a 25 year old, so she had no choice, in her mind, but to eliminate her younger competition.
Colin knew Kaitlin was jealous and possessive. Even so, he agreed to continue sharing a home, albeit in separate bedrooms. It's very rare that a couple can shift from having a committed monogamous relationship - to being 'just friends' or 'just friends but with intermittent benefits'. Usually one party has moved on emotionally from the relationship, while the other has NOT, but { superficially} 'agrees' to this change- whilst secretly and desperately clinging to the vain hope that by simply still being around the other person they will 'fall back in love' with them and they can resume. They often tell themselves they're 'allowing this break' in order to let the other party get 'the need to stray' out of their system. Kaitlin was probably having multiple casual sexual partners to try to 'prove' to Colin that she WASN'T Clingy or possessive, and even perhaps trying to trigger some jealousy on his part. Sadly, Colin likely wasn't caring or noticing, just taking it on face value. If so, his EIQ ( Emotional Intelligence Quotient ) here appears to be pretty low, AND If he continued to have casual sex with Kaitlin he was, inadvertently, setting up a 'bomb'. Both had casual sexual hook ups after their 'separation under the one roof', but the developing relationship with Moriah was different. This was a definite threat to Kaitlin's hopes to rekindle things with Colin. Moriah was a rising star in the cycling world, a peer of Colin, and in the same social group. This wasn't just a casual hook up. He liked and admired her. Kaitlin didn't have the funds to move out and set up in independent accommodation. Nor did she want to. If this relationship developed there was no further place in Colin's life or accommodation for Kaitlin. She immediately began stalking and harassing Moriah - who backed off. So did Colin, but he then set the trigger for the final outcome. Instead of telling Kaitlin outright; "No, this is someone I'm potentially serious about and I want to see where this goes - and if you can't deal with that then we have to plan for living separately.", he chickened out and only pretended to cut contact. Why did he do that? Was he wanting to 'keep her in reserve' ( ie: wanting her to continue to pay half the rent and 'be available' to him, until he was more sure of Moriah? ) If so, that was incredibly selfish and stupid of him, especially as he NOW knew, without a doubt that Kaitlin WAS definitely jealous and angry. (Moriah had shown him the texts. ) Instead, he lied and covered up and hid the ongoing contact with Moriah under a false name in his phone. Which action Moriah must have colluded with. THIS then became the FOCUS of ALL of Kaitlin's jealous RAGE, when she continued to check his phone and discovered it. Placing ALL the blame on 'the other woman' allows Kaitlin to continue to keep Colin placed front and centre as 'her love object'. The rest unfortunately is history. One key question remains; and it's not about intent, ( for Colin had no reason to want Moriah out of the way... ) but the volume of his stupidity. When exactly did he buy Kaitlin the gun? Just to be clear; Kaitlin IS guilty of this murder. Lot's of people get angry with another and talk hot-headedly of killing them, but making an actual plan, and carrying it out is a whole other thing.
I live in Austin. This is heartbreaking. Women killing women over a man is just unfathomable to me. Kaitlyn was physically a pretty girl, she ruined her looks but now her outside matches her inside. Rest easy Moriah.. Austin stands with your family.
Wow, what a selfish take. The victim's death doesn't care if any of this is "unfathomable" to you. Get off your high horse and don't turn a tragedy into your personal, selfish banter.
@@irisiris2892how exactly was he responsible? Kaitlyn is a grown woman capable of making decisions. Yeah he shouldn't have cheated, but she cheated on him as well. Cheating is terrible, but it does not excuse murder.
Heartbreaking case. I’m so sad for Mo’s family. I read a lot about the case and read accounts of intimate friends of Colin and Katilynn. Let’s just say Colin is a huge douche. And women would be smart not to get involved with him. Seriously. Before you attack me for my comments, please really read up on the case and get the facts. As for Nero, what a cutie pie! 😻
Completely agree some things said here are not 100% correct. I’m in Europe and it’s hit the headlines in the mainstream cycling community here just so shocking
As a Grandma this one breaks you heart . A Angel who was just loving life ; because one girl choose to succumb to jealously. He was just a normal loving teenager. Previous post I meant towards girls who can't get over rejection.
Thank you so much for another insightful and respectful true crime report. I am super glad you always highlight the victim over the killer. Also, YAY Nero sighting.
After watching true crime for several years, I figured I would eventually run in to someone I knew. I started school at Stevenson High School right as Kaitlin was leaving. I never knew her, but I know I saw her at least once or twice and she is probably in my yearbook somewhere.
Such an unnecessary murderer of a young beautiful woman. Kaitlyn was not only jealous but also had envy towards Moriah and her succesful career. What surprises me is that she was caught in Santa Teresa which is a very secluded area in Costa Rica, I know it because I am costarrican. Greetings from this little paradise!
She got a firearm because some strange man was trying to break into her house after watching her walk in. She called Collin during this scary situation and so later he bought it for her for self-defense. She went gun shopping with him and she picked out the gun.
Guilty as sins ,thy shalls not kill says the Lord revenge is mine , the boyfriend bought the guns ,playing both wemem ,playings dumbs toos murders . ECT.
She killed Mo out of jealousy pure and simple. She was not afraid of her ex she was addicted to him and refused to share him with anyone. The evidence is ovrewhelming and everything her defence are claiming is sheer ridiculousness and i pray the jury see through her tricks. She left to avoid the consequences because she knew she was guilty as heck and they had her. AWW Nero is such a handsome boy! He was saying release me and feed me you spawn of the devil or I will shred you will my razors LOL
He is a psychopath !!!! Planned it all to raise his own ego that someone killed for him..... and enjoyed every moment of the show and the public attention.... 👿👿👿👿👿
Man living with one woman while dating another woman on the DL. Man buys gun for woman he lives with. Said woman shoots the other woman with said gun. Police baffled. Man gets off scot free.
I don’t understand what Moriah even saw in Colin TBH. He looks like a character from a video game that’s still in beta mode and their proportions are all off
Never be with someone who is already in another relationship. Crime of passion is real and nothing good comes from love triangles. There are 8 billion people in this world best to entertain someone who is single, not worth the drama, and the trauma that comes with that mess.
I can't stop seeing Honey Bat Latte. Even at higher resolutions, it's ingrained in my head. Also makes me think about how a honey badger latte would taste.
This story was very well-presented. I can't believe Kaitlin is citing Colin as the reason for changing her face. Hopefully there will be justice for Moriah. Also, KITTY! Thanks for the bit with Nero at the end!
Im here early! Great story-telling, very sad to hear. I can't help but feel a bit suspicious of the boyfriend, but idk if that's me being used to other true crime cases or what, but it seems a bit odd he just so happened to buy her a handgun when she was telling her friend she wanted to harm her. Also he had no idea what she was capable of? Didn't he witness when she was harrassing/threatening his ex before they broke up the first time? Some pretty big red flags to miss, idk.
Colin has a lot of responsibility for this tragedy. He was too busy playing two women and ignored every single crazy sign from Kaitlin. God be with any future females who choose to be involved with him. He ain't sh*t.
This case is heartbreaking and infuriating. Moriah seemed like such a kind and genuine person. I hope she gets the justice she deserves. Rest in peace Mo. 🤍🤍
this is a crime of cowardice and jealousy she ran away from Justice and she was jealous of person that she decided to end she didn't stay and face the music
Hey Adrian absolutely love your channel and everything about it very satisfying. I love laying back and smoke a fatty and listen to ya. Awesome love it 😊 my heart goes out to her parents and hope she rests in peace. Stay safe my friend looking forward to more stories.. ✌️ Peace....
We have a pretty clear case of jealousy here. I am sure she killed her. Surely, her lawers try to convince the people of the opposite but that's their job. The reason why Collin says so many nice things about her is due to the guilt he feels about messing with her and having bought the gun for her.
Hi Coffee House Crime. Thanks for another interesting & informative video. Mariah didn't have to be in his life. She was a better person & had success in life.

As one who prosecuted and defended criminal defense cases for forty years, the evidence outlined here, including the matching ballistics on the SigSauer 10mm pistol, the video of her driving by Ms. Wilson's residence soon before her shooting death, Armstrong's statements that she wanted to kill Mo Wilson, Armstrong selling her car around the time of the shooting to raise cash, her fleeing Austin and the country for Costa Rica using a stolen passport, and her assuming a false identity and undergoing plastic surgery in Costa Rica, will likely result in a short deliberation and conviction by the jury on the charge of murder by Kaitlin Armstrong. In TX, I believe the jury decides the term of punishment, and I would surmise that it will be severe, most likely life without parole. Time will tell.
Colin is totally innocent and Kaitlin is totally guilty. She’s 100% guilty of premeditated murder in the first degree. She will receive a life sentence without parole hopefully. Edit: to clarify, Colin isn’t completely innocent in all of his actions such as cheating etc. but none of that excuses Kaitlin’s behavior.

I had a woman 10 years older than me (I was 23) stalk me and my husband, trying to get him to leave me. She started harassing me and sending him money. Anyway it’s so weird how older women get so jealous of younger ones…thankfully we expelled her from our lives without a murder tho. Yeah people are fuckin scary.
That sounds terrifying- sorry that happened to you I honesty can’t imagine being violent, or even unkind, over some man who was too dumb to know what he had when he had it. I mean, relationships can be kinda cool sometimes, but they’re a ton of work and stress as well- definitely never worth my peace or especially, my freedom!
i have never understood the hostility a lot of women feel for another woman who is attracted to the same man. It just means we have a lot in common. i would be sad that my man chose her but where does that hate come from? beyond me
it's jealousy. I've felt it before too- not murderous of course, but it's more like, you're going after someone I'm with because you don't respect us. don't fuck with people who are in relationships. find someone who's single or looking for a poly relationship. that being said, if my partner was with someone else (I'm not poly), then I'd leave them. I don't fuck with that
I dated a girl who was from Austin. She stole a bunch of money from me and when I realized what she was doing and asked for my things back, she promptly filed a restraining order. Thought that was pretty funny and epic abuse of the law. I even told the police about all my stuff and they said they couldn't help because there is no way to prove it wasn't a gift and I'd have to fight in civil court, but communication could only be between our lawyers. I was like, wow, I just got played big time. Not sure this comment is super relevant other than to say bitches from Austin be crazy.
If Kaitlin was so willing to leave her boyfriend and life behind all her worldly possessions, and live a new life in another country, why not just do that? Why only do this utterly life-changing event after murdering someone?! Why was murder necessary?! These people just baffle me.
LotL - Exactly.... it's as if she had no end game when planning to kill Mo.... although my hunch is she thought that she could kill Mo without being discovered as the killer and lived happily ever after with Colin. She only fled after the police made it clear she was their #1 suspect and the walls were closing in.
Because she’s a psychopath lol. It’s too exhausting to try to even comprehend her logic. Some people are just flat out nuts.
You're right. SMDH.
Same thing I was thinking, why she didn't go CR inn the first place? Why take an innocent life?
She was mad and jealous.
You know what's crazy? She could have done that before - She could've moved to Costa Rica, taught yoga, partied every night, forget about everything - BEFORE killing Moriah....
She ccould have lived in paradise, started a new life.
That's why I'm saying, if you're not happy with your life, pretend you're running from the police ~
(Keyword: pretend)
That's a great quote...
Best thing I’ve read on TH-cam in a while 🤙🏼
Well said
I did not understand.can someone explain please?😊
She's saying the girl could have left the country before she murdered Moriah and lived her life. The quote is saying run like the police are after you if you are not happy with how your life is going. For example, abuse or something, or in this case, you need to murder someone for some reason.

Personal accountability = make good choices or accept the consequences of bad ones.
For me, I don't see Kaitlin is only jealous for love. She's insanely envied with Moriah's success as a victorious young professional cyclist, with her age and youth appearance. She was literally hated to see what Moriah had in her life. Rest in peace girl...
That's What I See too.
Undoubtedly. I imagine she was really threatened by Moriah’s dynamism, especially since she was so successful in the area her ‘love’ was most interested in.
Thank goodness for being an underachiever!
That makes sense
Literally making things up😅
Now she'll spend the rest of her life in a prison motel room where she has Wi-Fi exercise rooms movies TV and three squares a day
I could never understand how women get mad at the other woman, instead of confronting her man for playing both of them, she kills her.
Crazy - a lack of control
Exactly. If Colin had been a faithful man instead of screwing around...it wouldn't have happened. Not condoning Moriah's part in that affair, so don't come for me, but far too often the women get blamed instead of the guy who decided to forget his commitments.
Same with those crazy dudes at clubs who throw themselves in jail for a couple weeks fighting another dude. If your partners is cheating let the new person have those problems, they’re not worth it.
@@ThatMontanaMom if someone’s willing to kill over being cheated on they’re probably fucked in the head and were a completely horrible partner. Psychotic people aren’t very good at the relationship thing.
Same! The other person didn't make a promise to be faithful, the person in the relationship did. The cheater is the one who wronged their partner, not the random person they cheated with. Be mad at the right person!
She’ll have many lonely years and deep regrets destroying her life and taking another woman’s life over a man, it’s never that serious ladies, that guy moved on to another woman.
Literally boning someone while she’s getting charged 😂😂😂😂
So true 👍
So true, and while she’s sitting in jail he’s out there doing and dating who ever he wants so what was the point of it?🤦🏽♀️
He was dating her. She must've found out he was cheating, and like the psycho idiot she was, she got mad at the other woman instead of the man cheating on her
I thought he said they had a on again off again relationship? Cause if that’s the case it’s not cheating. They already broke up and she was just a jealous woman who can’t handle rejection.
If you're seeing two women at the same time, it seems wise not to buy one of them a gun.
💀
Good point lol
couldn't agree more!
Absolutley
Ya think? 🤔
How do these people think that they can get away with murder in this day and age? DNA and CCTV evidence is almost always overwhelming.
Tbh, you can get away whit it. Things arent really that perfect. The ones that go are usually at remote locations though and they even look like accidents.
Like, imagine someone push another off a cliff on a hike trip. What clue is there? Slipped and died is totally possible.
Let's hope none of your friends slip and fall off a cliff in the future.. or you have some explaining to do now ;)
Agree Simon
In America most murders go unpunished, even when you exclude the ones the US police commit every eight hours on average.
There's no lock that cannot soon be bypassed or picked, and the same is true of surveillance; there's always a way to avoid being caught. We only hear about people getting caught because otherwise there's usually no story. If this particular person wanted to avoid capture she did it all wrong.
If you're a woman, you are probably 10 times more likely to get away with a crime, including murder. Even if you're caught, you won't get as bad of a punishment.
NEVER get involved with anyone who hasn't cut ties with an ex.
Unless you’re the ex.
The whole lesson
I never do.
Unless they've got kids or something, absolutely not
I can never understand why murder somebody instead of leaving a cheating partner. Not only is it the worst thing to do to someone, but you ruin your own life as well. Cheating (not sure if they were really cheating or what but the idea remains) is ofc bad but you don't murder someone because of it, you leave the relationship. I'm glad she was found relatively quickly. I hope Moriah will get justice.
Because some people are unhinged
My thoughts exactly ❤
Because some people are homicidal sociopaths /sykos . Where you & I I would walk away resentful from a cheating partner, but for them, they will deal with it differently.
Usually these cases happen when someone well...become obsessed
They feel "he" or "she" is the trophy and they feel an obsessive compulsion to kill their "competition".
The unfortunate reality is, it doesn't really matter in these cases. It's likely, had he left her entirely, she would have either killed him or her (or both) later. She certainly had the means and the temperament and it's commonplace to see a partner who domestically abuses (physically or emotionally) not take the news well if their victim decides to leave them.
Based on the dude's quote about her suddenly becoming more forceful, and just being jealous about him dating the victim despite having already split, it was all about power. To her, having her man all to herself matters more than breaking up with him and hooking up with someone else, since that would mean admitting defeat.
Just because we're living in a period of peace, doesn't mean the mindset of being a conqueror doesn't exist anymore. If anything, it's more prevalent now since women are encouraged to be more open and their repressed feelings are finally being put to show, but there isn't a lot of things that can hold them back because they're still seen as delicate creatures regardless when it comes to being reprimanded. The concept of her wanting to feel ownership of someone else is hard for you to understand because it's typically seen as a male-only aspect. She probably thought the bf was gonna take all the heat. Not everyone is a true crime aficionado, so it hadn't crossed her mind that the law isn't as biased as the public.
The bizarre thing to me is that Colin hooked up briefly with Moriah while he and Kaitlin were broken up (reminds me of Ross and Rachel on Friends). Meanwhile she was bedding numerous men during this time. Then she’s enraged and jealous about his brief fling (that apparently meant more to Moriah than him) with Moriah! She must have felt incredibly threatened by Moriah to have reacted so badly to a fairly normal situation. Moriah clearly had more strength and character than Kaitlin; maybe that reality threw K into a murderous rage. Colin’s no prize by any means, but anyone can be seen as property by another. It’s pretty creepy that she had very assertive, maybe aggressive?, sex with him right after getting back from Moriah’s location (allegedly). Moriah deserved better than either of them. It’s tragic that these relationships cost her her life. Condolences to her family and many friends.
I think-not that she would ever admit to this-that those men she slept with were nothing to her; Moriah was a very accomplished, attractive woman, in the same circle as her and Collin…and then he kept seeing her on the down low, platonic or not.
In other words, those men were disposable; Moriah was a threat. I guess. This whole thing is such a mess. Two talented, gifted women are destroyed over some trifling man who is playing both sides.
You know Racheal and Ross are tv characters. lol. :)
@ yes…haha
And look at half the comment section blaming the man for the murder.
@@adamfarkas51 I don’t blame him for the murder. I think he’s trifling, but trifling isn’t against the law. It’s never a good idea to play head games with an unstable person, or anybody else, for that matter.
But “blame the man”? No. Calm down.
I'm not going to lie, in my youth I've been crazy jealous a couple times but it never EVER crossed my mind to hurt anyone, let alone kill???!!! That is just insane.
Insanely vicious.
Yeah. It’s okay to be jealous at times buts not worth killing someone
Me too
Im so glad the burning jealousy i felt in my early youth is fading with time. that shit will consume your mind
I did a few things I’m embarrassed about. I keep it to myself though I would never kill anyone.
With all the evidence available, how can he defend Kaitlyn? Moriah's poor family. That has to hurt most of all.
He doesn't want to face the fact that he bears the blame because he was the one being sly about still seeing Moriah. Not to mention buying the gun for Armstrong.
@@VanillaMacaron551 You losers are a doing a lot to shift blame off an actual murderer
Yup,☝️
Love is blind; so many parents, kids and partners just refuse to believe their loved one could act another way, than what theyve seen. Some even provide false evidence & alibis, fully knowing whats at stake. Its about self-image and self-preservation, I cant have been loving a monster all this time, so she/he must not have been a monster then and everybody else is wrong. Mental gymnastics on steroids. Especially if you are to bear some blame if accepting the truth, its just easier to block it all out. Fragile egos..
Emotional abuse, I have a feeling he's been gaslit and emotionally manipulated by her.
Found guilty today in an Austin, Texas court (11/16/2023).
It’s unbelievable just how many seemingly “normal” people turn to murder. It’s hard to imagine the level of jealousy & hatred it would take to do that .. I can’t even try to understand how she or anyone can’t talk themselves out of killing someone! Would love to hear a psychologist’s analysis.

No, Texas has overwhelmingly been having problems from migration from south of the border, not “migration from democrat states” (it’s not even close - you’re repeating a dishonest talking point that tries to misdirect from the actual invasion/replacement issue). This has been done against American citizen’s will for decades, by our trait. orous govt with the help of anti-American NGOs etc..
It has _NOTHING WHATSOEVER_ to do with “Austin is doing something right.”
Her trial started today. The article I read said that earlier this month (on 10/12/2023) Kaitlin escaped from officers who had taken her to a medical appointment. She was recaptured after a short chase.
When someone purchases a gun knowing it's for someone else, it's called a 'strawman buy'. This means that yes, if the police wish to pursue charges against Strickland, they can because he bought the gun for Kaitlin.
Parents buy hunting guns for their kids as gifts. Is this really that different?
That's an example of a strawman buy. If the kid does something they're not supposed to w/ the gun their parents bought them, then the parents can be charged. Doesn't matter if it's a hunting riffle or a handgun
just my thoughts.
It was a gift - doesn't count
@@Marco_El_Afro-Latino Not true. Gifts do not count as a straw (no man, just straw) purchase

@@nju4929 Really? Kaitlyn also had multiple affairs after they broke up. How can you blame Anderson?
Well they aren't affairs because they were broken up. It's the continuing the affair after reconciliation that was not good on his end. Obviously not murderer status evil, but definitely uncool
This channel understands true crime on a level not even true crime shows on ID, NBC, etc don't. I am really surprised you haven't made it to the next level yet with a tv deal. You have a great angle and vibe with this channel..
It's scary how one person can be so possessive and obsessed with their partner until they end up killing the other party. Poor Moriah is so young and talented. Rest in peace beautiful. ❤

Forgot all about him on the plane, suddenly didn't need him any more.
Now she's going try and get him to pay for her crime.

I just knew she would try it on, but I didn't know if he would bite, but he did.
He crept home late at night after walking her home, covered in shame.

Took me many years to leave him but finally got there.

He was a controlling person especially regarding finances so as I didn't want a bitter divorce I gave him a favourable deal.
But he conned me afterwards and stole back almost half of my settlement and money he owed my mother then went off and hid.
I don't know where he went.
I will never understand why people always go after the person their significant other was involved with. Almost always NEVER going after the significant other that decided to have an affair. 🤦🏽♂️

So let me get this straight, Colin didn't think Kaitlin was capable of violence yet he bought her a gun?
"Eccentric young man", he's culpable in this crime for sure
What does owning a gun have to do with a propensity for violence?

"Does anybody know a perfectly sane yoga teacher?" I'm dying 😂
I think Colin is culpable in Moriah’s death…the fact that he had to hide from his girlfriend that he was still in contact with her and changed her name in his phone says a lot…he knew he was playing with fire and the death of an innocent young woman was the result. This is not to lessen the responsibility on Kaitlyn, she is clearly unhinged and a murderer
Don’t think being a dick is a crime or more dudes would be in the pokey 😂
He IS morally culpable.
I do hope he’s losing sleep for being such a disgusting git, lying about Moriah! When you lie, you know you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing.
Exactly
Not if Moriah knew he was with Kaitlyn.
Moriah seemed like a sweet young lady. The world lost a good soul. Rest in peace, Moriah❤
The one thing I could think of was why she decided to stay friends with Colin when his ex is clearly nuts. For her own safety she should've stopped all contact with Colin too. It wasn't worth it, it got her murdered... Poor girl. He dumped her after only 2 weeks, probably because she said to him that he needed to tell the ex to stop harassing her. He clearly never had Morias back and for some reason favored the crazy... WTF I would not risk my life over a man that doesn't even have my back! And then Colin still sneakily hanging out with Moria after he got back with crazy ex again... Am I getting fuckboy vibes from Colin? WTF is going on??

Doesn't matter if the victim has achievements or if was a loser, she didn't deserve to die, all victims matter not only the "popular" ones.
I was thinking the same thing. It's kind of like saying some people are more deserving of being murdered than others.
Big deal she road bikes, it's not like she was saving lives or doing the many things many unsung heroes do every day of their lives. It's terrible she was murdered because she was an innocent human being, not because she was a talented bike rider.
It was not being said that M was less deserving to die because she was accomplished. This video is literally about M and her senseless murder. So, if the video is solely about her story, why would the content creator not highlight her accomplishments. He is not saying she didn’t deserve to die only because of her accomplishments, or comparing her to other murder victims.
@@Incognito-ft1fc spot on
Just because this particular victim was a very accomplished person, in no way implies some lives are more deserving than others.
In this specific case, she happened to be very talented.
Speaking about her accomplishments is to describe and understand the person, the victim.
Don’t victimize her again by suggesting that there was something inappropriate concerning talking about who she, the person was, before becoming the victim that she is.
Cheers. 🇨🇦
Adrian always speaks very highly of the victims in his videos, though…
This shook the whole cycling community. My bf is a pro-cyclist and raced the same Lifetime Grand Prix event that Moriah was a part of. Pro-cycling is an extremely tight community, this is totally crazy and disturbing that this happened.

That’s actually the ideal time to start getting Botox as a preventative treatment, reducing lines before they get very deep rather than trying to correct them afterwards! Sorry, this isn’t relevant to the case at all, just something I wanted to add haha😂
@@Ratxmother I have heard that school of thought, starting Botox early as a preventative. The issue with that is that your body starts to form a resistance to it over several years, and eventually it just stops working at an age where you "need" it the most. (Obviously no one "needs" Botox but you know what I mean...) Long term use increases the chances of having other complications too. People who use it for decades often get really high foreheads or just end up looking kind of weird in general.

Kaitlyn left so much evidence in her wake, she might as well left a signed confession at the scene. Not a very well planned murder, and somewhat amazing that she was able to make it out of the country.
Poor Moriah- sacrificial lamb caught up with evil people- my heart aches for the family of this well adjusted, ambitious and friendly woman
Ugh I’m just making it to her interview with her helmet on talking about what she wants to do, she really was charming and like I wanna be her friend, she came off so warm and kind even in that short clip. My heart aches for her and everyone who knew and loved her.
I believe that not only was she jealous of Moriah for seeing Colin she was likely also very jealous of Mo’s accomplishments and that fact she was so popular within their “friend group”and that’s why she ran and left the man and her entire life after ending Mo’s … she basically just wanted that poor girl deceased.
My take was he was stinging both of them along for a bike ride.
That’s what I think too.
And of her youth
THIS 💯- Kaitlyn's jealousy of this younger, happier, and much-loved woman destroyed both Moriah's and her own life. Although Kaitlyn had every reason to be thankful for her own life's blessings, her narcissistic jealousy wouldn't allow another woman, whom she saw as her competition, to have a life of success and joy. Jealousy is deadly, not only in body, but of the soul.
Agatha Christie had written once a story where the actual "brain" behind the murders is one who is really a very docile person and never did anything wrong; his part was to "awaken" the criminal site of the other persons; he could have never been caught if it wasn't for Mr. Poirot who explained the situation. Although the others were the killers, this unseemingly guy was causing them to do the murders. Somehow this case reminded me of this novel.

She killed her over THAT guy though?? He must be a beast in the bedroom or something because I don't see the appeal.
I mean... Sometimes I'm honestly surprised at what men women kill in these cases for. This is just... They're all pathetic in a way: she is for choosing this worm of a guy and he is for being blind and indifferent to the changes around him. Or even allowing them to happen just to please his ego. Not particularly the case here, but sometimes it is.
It's not about him, women like her always go after the other woman instead of the guy who's actually cheating on them. It's pathetic

This story is horrible and makes me so sad. What also angers me is the fact that Collin was not honest with these women. As far as we know there was no open relationship and he was meeting Moriah behind Kaitlyns back. This is and will never be an excuse for killing someone and at the same time i hope we can all learn to be more honest with eachother.
Colin did the math and knew Kaitlyn was aging out (her best years were behind her) while Moriah was in her twenties and had a longer future with him while in her physical prime. It's literally that simple.

Kaitlin Armstrong was 35 and Moria was 25. Kaitlin knew she couldn't compete with a 25 year old, so she had no choice, in her mind, but to eliminate her younger competition.
@ T-800 whatever you say Incel🤣
Colin knew Kaitlin was jealous and possessive. Even so, he agreed to continue sharing a home, albeit in separate bedrooms. It's very rare that a couple can shift from having a committed monogamous relationship - to being 'just friends' or 'just friends but with intermittent benefits'. Usually one party has moved on emotionally from the relationship, while the other has NOT, but { superficially} 'agrees' to this change- whilst secretly and desperately clinging to the vain hope that by simply still being around the other person they will 'fall back in love' with them and they can resume. They often tell themselves they're 'allowing this break' in order to let the other party get 'the need to stray' out of their system.
Kaitlin was probably having multiple casual sexual partners to try to 'prove' to Colin that she WASN'T Clingy or possessive, and even perhaps trying to trigger some jealousy on his part. Sadly, Colin likely wasn't caring or noticing, just taking it on face value. If so, his EIQ ( Emotional Intelligence Quotient ) here appears to be pretty low, AND If he continued to have casual sex with Kaitlin he was, inadvertently, setting up a 'bomb'.
Both had casual sexual hook ups after their 'separation under the one roof', but the developing relationship with Moriah was different. This was a definite threat to Kaitlin's hopes to rekindle things with Colin. Moriah was a rising star in the cycling world, a peer of Colin, and in the same social group. This wasn't just a casual hook up. He liked and admired her. Kaitlin didn't have the funds to move out and set up in independent accommodation. Nor did she want to. If this relationship developed there was no further place in Colin's life or accommodation for Kaitlin.
She immediately began stalking and harassing Moriah - who backed off. So did Colin, but he then set the trigger for the final outcome. Instead of telling Kaitlin outright; "No, this is someone I'm potentially serious about and I want to see where this goes - and if you can't deal with that then we have to plan for living separately.", he chickened out and only pretended to cut contact. Why did he do that? Was he wanting to 'keep her in reserve' ( ie: wanting her to continue to pay half the rent and 'be available' to him, until he was more sure of Moriah? ) If so, that was incredibly selfish and stupid of him, especially as he NOW knew, without a doubt that Kaitlin WAS definitely jealous and angry. (Moriah had shown him the texts. ) Instead, he lied and covered up and hid the ongoing contact with Moriah under a false name in his phone. Which action Moriah must have colluded with. THIS then became the FOCUS of ALL of Kaitlin's jealous RAGE, when she continued to check his phone and discovered it. Placing ALL the blame on 'the other woman' allows Kaitlin to continue to keep Colin placed front and centre as 'her love object'. The rest unfortunately is history.
One key question remains; and it's not about intent, ( for Colin had no reason to want Moriah out of the way... ) but the volume of his stupidity. When exactly did he buy Kaitlin the gun?
Just to be clear; Kaitlin IS guilty of this murder. Lot's of people get angry with another and talk hot-headedly of killing them, but making an actual plan, and carrying it out is a whole other thing.
My ex is a yoga instructor so your comment about their sanity was spot on!!!!!
I live in Austin. This is heartbreaking. Women killing women over a man is just unfathomable to me. Kaitlyn was physically a pretty girl, she ruined her looks but now her outside matches her inside. Rest easy Moriah.. Austin stands with your family.
Wow, what a selfish take. The victim's death doesn't care if any of this is "unfathomable" to you. Get off your high horse and don't turn a tragedy into your personal, selfish banter.
@@redacted2275Not sure why you’d take offense to her post. 🤷♀️
@@lisasmith767agreed, it’s weird. @Kellishostall2583 was saying something nice.
What about the inside of the man responsible for all this?
@@irisiris2892how exactly was he responsible? Kaitlyn is a grown woman capable of making decisions. Yeah he shouldn't have cheated, but she cheated on him as well. Cheating is terrible, but it does not excuse murder.
Heartbreaking case. I’m so sad for Mo’s family. I read a lot about the case and read accounts of intimate friends of Colin and Katilynn. Let’s just say Colin is a huge douche. And women would be smart not to get involved with him. Seriously. Before you attack me for my comments, please really read up on the case and
get the facts.
As for Nero, what a cutie pie! 😻
Do you have a link? That would be very helpful.
Completely agree some things said here are not 100% correct. I’m in Europe and it’s hit the headlines in the mainstream cycling community here just so shocking
As a Grandma this one breaks you heart . A Angel who was just loving life ; because one girl choose to succumb to jealously. He was just a normal loving teenager. Previous post I meant towards girls who can't get over rejection.
Thank you so much for another insightful and respectful true crime report. I am super glad you always highlight the victim over the killer.
Also, YAY Nero sighting.
Excellent coverage and research into this case.
Well done. Adrian.
You’ve got such a gorgeous cat. Every video should end like that.
After watching true crime for several years, I figured I would eventually run in to someone I knew. I started school at Stevenson High School right as Kaitlin was leaving. I never knew her, but I know I saw her at least once or twice and she is probably in my yearbook somewhere.
Such an unnecessary murderer of a young beautiful woman. Kaitlyn was not only jealous but also had envy towards Moriah and her succesful career. What surprises me is that she was caught in Santa Teresa which is a very secluded area in Costa Rica, I know it because I am costarrican. Greetings from this little paradise!
She got a firearm because some strange man was trying to break into her house after watching her walk in. She called Collin during this scary situation and so later he bought it for her for self-defense. She went gun shopping with him and she picked out the gun.
How do you know?
Guilty as sins ,thy shalls not kill says the Lord revenge is mine , the boyfriend bought the guns ,playing both wemem ,playings dumbs toos murders . ECT.
She killed Mo out of jealousy pure and simple. She was not afraid of her ex she was addicted to him and refused to share him with anyone. The evidence is ovrewhelming and everything her defence are claiming is sheer ridiculousness and i pray the jury see through her tricks. She left to avoid the consequences because she knew she was guilty as heck and they had her. AWW Nero is such a handsome boy! He was saying release me and feed me you spawn of the devil or I will shred you will my razors LOL
He is a psychopath !!!!
Planned it all to raise his own ego that someone killed for him..... and enjoyed every moment of the show and the public attention.... 👿👿👿👿👿
Man living with one woman while dating another woman on the DL. Man buys gun for woman he lives with. Said woman shoots the other woman with said gun. Police baffled. Man gets off scot free.
Poor Mariah. If her mother is reading this, im sorry for your loss. You did a wonderful job.
As of 5 days ago the New York Times put out a post saying that Kaitlan Armstrong was sentenced to 90 years in prison.
Hello Adrian and thank you for hanging out with us today. You look extra sharp today. just wanted to letcha know, we noticed 🙌
Have a great day!
I don’t understand what Moriah even saw in Colin TBH. He looks like a character from a video game that’s still in beta mode and their proportions are all off
I come for the solved(ish) crime content, I stay for Nero - such a beauty!
I always appreciate the few times our beautiful state of Vermont creep into your videos, you always do it justice 😅❤
CHC, you are so sweet and respectful when talking about people. Please never change your kindness!
The word has never been, and will never be, pronounced Tack-Os in Mexico 😂
this! 😂
Never be with someone who is already in another relationship. Crime of passion is real and nothing good comes from love triangles. There are 8 billion people in this world best to entertain someone who is single, not worth the drama, and the trauma that comes with that mess.
I can't stop seeing Honey Bat Latte. Even at higher resolutions, it's ingrained in my head.
Also makes me think about how a honey badger latte would taste.
This story was very well-presented. I can't believe Kaitlin is citing Colin as the reason for changing her face. Hopefully there will be justice for Moriah. Also, KITTY! Thanks for the bit with Nero at the end!
The evil that walks among us. It makes me heartsick. Horrifying. R.I.P. Beautiful girl 💔
Im here early! Great story-telling, very sad to hear. I can't help but feel a bit suspicious of the boyfriend, but idk if that's me being used to other true crime cases or what, but it seems a bit odd he just so happened to buy her a handgun when she was telling her friend she wanted to harm her. Also he had no idea what she was capable of? Didn't he witness when she was harrassing/threatening his ex before they broke up the first time? Some pretty big red flags to miss, idk.
Exactly I was thinking the same, for me he's 20/30% guilty a walking red flag
Yeah I think the police fucked this up by zeroing in on her alone. Not to mention the skyrocketing gun murder rate in Austin. Mess.
Colin has a lot of responsibility for this tragedy. He was too busy playing two women and ignored every single crazy sign from Kaitlin.
God be with any future females who choose to be involved with him. He ain't sh*t.
you are absolutely right!
I often watch your videos when I’m going to sleep- but the way you said Taco and then said that Mexico also says tæco genuinely offended me 😂
i would not describe what this woman felt as "love" at all
This case is heartbreaking and infuriating. Moriah seemed like such a kind and genuine person. I hope she gets the justice she deserves. Rest in peace Mo. 🤍🤍
And you call her by a nickname that only the family called her like you knew her and was a part of her life...Please....😒🙄🙄
Our deepest symphaty to the loss of Mariah Wilson, rest and peace.
_”Does anybody know a perfectly sane Yoga teacher?”_ 😂
and she met Collin on a dating up called Hinge? qUiTe UnHiNgEd iF yOu aSk mE 🤪
I rolled at this phrase 🤣🤣🤣
this is a crime of cowardice and jealousy she ran away from Justice and she was jealous of person that she decided to end she didn't stay and face the music
Colin may not have done it, but he's responsible for creating a triangle in which this could happen
There were 3 of them equally to blame for that
All three of them are to blame.
The man is greedy for wanting to keep both women by his side.. he should know jealousy could be very dangerous….
@@clivebaxter6354 Nope. The victim did her best to avoid the killer. It's all on Colin and his ex, mostly the killer of course
Hey Adrian absolutely love your channel and everything about it very satisfying. I love laying back and smoke a fatty and listen to ya. Awesome love it 😊 my heart goes out to her parents and hope she rests in peace. Stay safe my friend looking forward to more stories.. ✌️ Peace....
We have a pretty clear case of jealousy here. I am sure she killed her. Surely, her lawers try to convince the people of the opposite but that's their job. The reason why Collin says so many nice things about her is due to the guilt he feels about messing with her and having bought the gun for her.
Hi Coffee House Crime. Thanks for another interesting & informative video. Mariah didn't have to be in his life. She was a better person & had success in life. They were jealous of her & set her up for the simple fact that they're both dangerous criminals. Personally, I hope they rot in hell. Thank You again for this show. This wouldn't have been covered in the U.S. love you my friend, peace, Janine Smiley✌👍💟🖤💖💗👣👀👄💋
As one who prosecuted and defended criminal defense cases for forty years, the evidence outlined here, including the matching ballistics on the SigSauer 10mm pistol, the video of her driving by Ms. Wilson's residence soon before her shooting death, Armstrong's statements that she wanted to kill Mo Wilson, Armstrong selling her car around the time of the shooting to raise cash, her fleeing Austin and the country for Costa Rica using a stolen passport, and her assuming a false identity and undergoing plastic surgery in Costa Rica, will likely result in a short deliberation and conviction by the jury on the charge of murder by Kaitlin Armstrong. In TX, I believe the jury decides the term of punishment, and I would surmise that it will be severe, most likely life without parole. Time will tell.
Glad to see your channel going so well mate. Keep up the good work 👍
Colin is totally innocent and Kaitlin is totally guilty. She’s 100% guilty of premeditated murder in the first degree. She will receive a life sentence without parole hopefully. Edit: to clarify, Colin isn’t completely innocent in all of his actions such as cheating etc. but none of that excuses Kaitlin’s behavior.
Coffeehouse crime and a glass of wine. What a lovely way to spend my time :) Finding out facts, unusual cases. This channel is one of my favourite places Another video from Adrian its going to be a good day again :) x thank you for your content x
no coffee?
Weird that other people's fatalities are your entertainment
@@ReadyorNot811 then what are you doing on such a channel. I like learning about various cases obviously anyones death or pain saddens me as does interacting with people who clearly have nothing better to do than to troll. TH-cam is full of videos I appreciate the time and effort that goes into content. Please take your rude assumptions about me elsewhere
one thing that is unique about this channel is all the contextual information he gives about the city dynamics. Like setting the scene
I live in Austin and it’s crazy how well he describes cities when doing each story!
Ummm yeahhhh... as someone who lives about an hour from Mexico I MUST say that absolutely ZERO of my Mexican friends pronounce TACO like TACKO. WTH!? 😂
I had a woman 10 years older than me (I was 23) stalk me and my husband, trying to get him to leave me. She started harassing me and sending him money. Anyway it’s so weird how older women get so jealous of younger ones…thankfully we expelled her from our lives without a murder tho. Yeah people are fuckin scary.
That sounds terrifying- sorry that happened to you
I honesty can’t imagine being violent, or even unkind, over some man who was too dumb to know what he had when he had it.
I mean, relationships can be kinda cool sometimes, but they’re a ton of work and stress as well- definitely never worth my peace or especially, my freedom!
@@sarahissersohn5495 I can empathize whole heartedly with that!
Thank God you are okay , stay safe
Maybe there are things he didn't tell you....
i think the ages in both of these cases (yours and moriahs) are irrelevant. women will be jealous of other women.
Mexicans do not say taco as Brits do.
lol thanks. I fixated on that for a while
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i have never understood the hostility a lot of women feel for another woman who is attracted to the same man. It just means we have a lot in common. i would be sad that my man chose her but where does that hate come from? beyond me
Facts if anything they should fusion dance and beat the shit out of the dude
He didn't choose. He played them both.
it's jealousy. I've felt it before too- not murderous of course, but it's more like, you're going after someone I'm with because you don't respect us.
don't fuck with people who are in relationships. find someone who's single or looking for a poly relationship.
that being said, if my partner was with someone else (I'm not poly), then I'd leave them. I don't fuck with that
@@Sputterbug You NEED to HAVE YOUR HEAD CHECKED or FIND JESUS CHRIST and Let HIM IN YOUR HEART & HEAD, becuase You Ain't thinking Right.
They want to be with them
I’m concerned on why moriah still pursued Him know that she was crazy over him and was harassing her wouldn’t she have just distanced herself?
Valid point
She was a competitive girl.
There's a possibility he was lying to both of them the way most cheats do.
I dated a girl who was from Austin. She stole a bunch of money from me and when I realized what she was doing and asked for my things back, she promptly filed a restraining order. Thought that was pretty funny and epic abuse of the law. I even told the police about all my stuff and they said they couldn't help because there is no way to prove it wasn't a gift and I'd have to fight in civil court, but communication could only be between our lawyers. I was like, wow, I just got played big time.
Not sure this comment is super relevant other than to say bitches from Austin be crazy.
There it is; he’s such a good boy. Stay healthy and safe, Adrian. Thank you as always for another great video.
I am confused that there is so much evidence pointing to Caitlyn's guilt...but yet it's still being questioned. .🤷🏾♀️
