Love Triangle Ends In Obsession and Murder. True Crime Documentary.

00:00:00 - 00:20:00In the YouTube video titled "Love Triangle Ends In Obsession and Murder. True Crime Documentary," the tragic story of Mariah Wilson, a beloved cyclist and athlete, is explored. Mariah, a Vermont native and gravel cycling champion, moved to Austin, Texas, in 2021 to make a name for herself in the cycling world. However, her life took a dark turn when she met Colin Strickland, a recently single cyclist. Despite their initial connection, Strickland's ex-girlfriend, Caitlyn Armstrong, became increasingly obsessed with Mariah and began sending threatening messages. Despite the awkward situation, Colin and Mariah continued to meet up in private, unbeknownst to Armstrong. On May 11, 2022, Mariah was found dead in her Austin home, having been shot multiple times at close range. Armstrong, who had a warrant for Mariah's arrest for a botched Botox treatment, was the prime suspect. She had been tailing Mariah and Colin and was captured on a neighbor's security camera. Her distinctive Jeep was found at her and Colin's place, along with a Sig Sauer handgun that matched the murder weapon. Armstrong confessed to her affair with Mariah but denied any involvement in her murder. However, she had lied to Mariah that night, sending her a text about dropping off flowers while she was actually with her. Despite being released due to a warrant mix-up, Armstrong was eventually captured and charged with first-degree murder and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. She was sentenced to 90 years in prison with eligibility for parole after 30 years. The investigation into Mariah's murder raises questions about whether her death could have been prevented if Armstrong's threats were taken seriously and whether Colin bears any responsibility for being deceptive and ignoring Armstrong's red flags.

The excerpt introduces the key players, their backgrounds, and the beginning of their interconnected lives. Colin Strickland, a Texas native and professional cyclist, and Caitlyn Armstrong, a Michigan native and finance professional, met in 2018 through a dating app. They seemed like the perfect match, sharing a love for cycling and a passion for their respective careers. However, their relationship became tumultuous, and they decided to live apart while still sharing a home.

True Crime Documentary," the focus shifts to the tragic story of Mariah Wilson, a beloved cyclist and athlete. After winning the race in California in 2021, Mariah was known for her wonderful personality and great athletic abilities. She had graduated from Burke Mountain Academy in 2014 and Dartmouth College in 2019 with an engineering degree. Outside of her academic pursuits, Mariah had other interests, including traveling, writing, and experimenting in the kitchen. Her favorites were tacos and maple creamies. Mariah was drawn to sports and the outdoors from a young age, and cycling became her passion. She tried to join the corporate world as a demand planner but soon realized that corporate life wasn't for her. Instead, she became a professional cyclist and quickly rose to the top of the gravel cycling world, racking up victories in both gravel and mountain races. However, the pandemic put a damper on bike racing, so Mariah used the work-from-home situation to her advantage, ramping up her training and honing her skills. In November 2020, she completed the grueling 100-mile White Rim trail in Moab, Utah, setting a new women's record. In October 2021, Mariah moved to Austin, Texas, to make an even bigger name for herself in the cycling world. She was excited about the upcoming racing season and had her sights set on several big gravel events. However, her life took a dark turn when she met Colin Strickland, a recently single cyclist. Sparks flew between them, but Colin didn't realize the extent of the harm his actions were causing to his ex-girlfriend, Kaitlin Armstrong. Armstrong became obsessed with Mariah and started sending threatening and harassing messages. The situation became awkward for everyone involved, especially since they all shared the same friend group. Unfortunately, things were about to get even more complicated. Colin and Mariah's relationship was short-lived, but they supposedly went back to being just friends. However, Armstrong didn't know that they were still meeting up in private. She became suspicious and, fueled by her rage, considered extreme actions. On May 11, 2020, authorities received a frantic call reporting that Mariah was unresponsive on the bathroom floor. The events that followed led to Mariah's tragic death.00:10:00 In this section of the true crime documentary, the investigation into the murder of pro cyclist Anna "Mariah" Wilson is discussed. On May 11, 2022, at approximately 9:56 p.m., Austin police responded to a check welfare call at 1708 Maple Avenue, where they found Mariah, who had been visiting Austin for a race, pronounced dead. The preliminary investigation revealed that Mariah had been shot multiple times at close range, and her bike had been tossed into some bamboo near the house. The evidence at the scene included shell casings and no sign of the gun. Mariah's friend, who found her, provided crucial information to the authorities, including the fact that the door had unlocked every time someone used it, sending a notification to her phone. This detail would later prove to be crucial in identifying the prime suspect, Armstrong. Armstrong had been tailing Mariah and her companion, Colin, and was captured on a neighbor's security camera. His Jeep, which was distinctive with a big bike rack on the back, a luggage rack on top, and chrome around the windows, was found at his and Colin's place, along with a Sig Sauer handgun that matched the murder weapon. Armstrong confessed to his affair with Mariah during questioning but denied any involvement in her murder. However, he did admit to lying to Mariah that night, sending her a text about dropping off flowers while he was actually with her. Armstrong had an outstanding warrant for Mariah's arrest for walking out of a Botox treatment without paying, but when they brought her in, the warrant was allegedly considered invalid. The investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether jealousy led to this tragic murder.00:15:00 In this section of the true crime documentary, the investigation into Mariah Armstrong's role in the murder of her rival, Maria, intensified. Despite being released due to a warrant mix-up, Armstrong remained the prime suspect. Authorities issued a homicide warrant for her on May 17, 2021, but she had already vanished. Surveillance footage showed Armstrong boarding a flight to New York City using her sister's passport. In Costa Rica, she reinvented herself as Ari, living it up in a remote paradise, teaching yoga, and even finding love again. However, her carefree life came to an end after 43 days when authorities tracked her down. Armstrong was back in the US and facing not just a murder charge but also a federal charge for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. In a desperate attempt to escape prison, she planned an elaborate escape, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Armstrong was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to 90 years in prison with eligibility for parole after 30 years.00:20:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Love Triangle Ends In Obsession and Murder. True Crime Documentary," the jury's verdict is read out, finding Caitlyn Armstrong guilty of murdering her lover's fiancée, Mariah Wilson. Armstrong was sentenced to 90 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. However, Armstrong is appealing the conviction, and Wilson's parents filed a civil wrongful death lawsuit against her, seeking $1 million in damages, including funeral expenses and emotional damages. The judge later ordered Armstrong to pay $15 million to the Wilson family. The audience is encouraged to share their thoughts on whether Mariah's death could have been prevented if Armstrong's threats were taken seriously and whether Colin, the lover, bears any responsibility for being deceptive and ignoring Armstrong's red flags.
