- 0:02Speaker 1: Colin.
- 0:04Speaker 2: So no Aana last night is Wilson? Oh yes, I
- 0:11Speaker 2: do so. There's really no easy way to save this soup.
- 0:14Speaker 2: So apparently last she passed away.
- 0:18Speaker 3: This is Colin Strickland and he was just told that
- 0:22Speaker 3: his ex girlfriend Anna Wilson was brutally murdered only hours ago.
- 0:36Speaker 4: My friend is staying with me and I just walked
- 0:38Speaker 4: in and she's laying on the bathroom floor and her
- 0:42Speaker 4: blood everywhere.
- 0:48Speaker 5: They try to stop.
- 0:56Speaker 6: I don't know what happened.
- 0:57Speaker 7: I just walked in on her.
- 0:59Speaker 3: When first arrived at this gruesome sight, they suspected a
- 1:03Speaker 3: robbery gone wrong, but a series of dim and clues
- 1:08Speaker 3: found at the crime scene quickly pointed to not just
- 1:11Speaker 3: a meticulously planned murder, but a deadly love triangle and
- 1:16Speaker 3: a killer that was closer to home than anyone expected.
- 1:22Speaker 6: Did you kill them?
- 1:24Speaker 8: No?
- 1:26Speaker 6: No.
- 1:30Speaker 3: On May eleventh, twenty twenty two, police were called to
- 1:33Speaker 3: an address after a woman made this disturbing nine one
- 1:36Speaker 3: one call.
- 1:38Speaker 4: What's the emergency. It's seventeen oh eight Maple Avenue.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Okay, tell me exactly what happened.
- 1:46Speaker 4: My friend is staying with me and I just walked
- 1:48Speaker 4: in and she's laying on the bathroom floor and there's
- 1:51Speaker 4: blood everywhere, and I don't know what happened.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Is she awake, She's not awake.
- 1:58Speaker 4: There's all over her face, on the back of her head.
- 2:01Speaker 9: Is she breathing?
- 2:02Speaker 10: No?
- 2:03Speaker 6: Okay, got the paramedics on the way to help. You.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Stay on the line, Caitlin.
- 2:06Speaker 3: That caller was Caitlin Cash, and she derived home to
- 2:10Speaker 3: find her friend Mariah Wilson clinging to life after being shot.
- 2:20Speaker 11: All the boys.
- 2:30Speaker 12: Trying to stop.
- 2:32Speaker 1: What happened?
- 2:33Speaker 6: I just walked it on her?
- 2:35Speaker 10: Okay?
- 3:00Speaker 1: Yeah, have you heard any shot? No that.
- 3:13Speaker 3: After assessing the situation, officers noticed cerebro spinal fluid or
- 3:18Speaker 3: CSA for short, oozing onto the floor. This fluid surrounds
- 3:21Speaker 3: the brain, meaning the bullets had actually pierced her skull
- 3:25Speaker 3: and killed her instantly. This meant there was no saving
- 3:29Speaker 3: her no matter what anyone did, but officers could still
- 3:32Speaker 3: bring her killer to justice, which is why they need
- 3:35Speaker 3: answers right now, answers that only Cash can give, as
- 3:38Speaker 3: she is the only witness that officers currently have.
- 3:42Speaker 13: Do you know if he's talking and I say, you
- 3:45Speaker 13: don't live here?
- 3:46Speaker 4: She was with her friend Colin.
- 3:54Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, they went swim.
- 4:00Speaker 11: Did you see a gun or anything like that on
- 4:01Speaker 11: anyone you want.
- 4:06Speaker 7: Colin?
- 4:07Speaker 11: He said, and you know where I following? I can
- 4:14Speaker 11: call Brook give you his number.
- 4:18Speaker 13: From you, you said, So she went with following Stricklin swimming.
- 4:24Speaker 13: I left to go have remember where's my friends that
- 4:28Speaker 13: I came back?
- 4:29Speaker 11: Yes, she's staying with me right now.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Police are a bit disoriented as to what exactly went
- 4:37Speaker 3: down just hours earlier, but they would soon run into
- 4:40Speaker 3: some evidence that would change everything. Worth noting is that
- 4:44Speaker 3: situations like these can be extremely traumatizing for those involved,

- 6:40Speaker 1: Today?
- 6:40Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 6:41Speaker 11: I mean I can in my text messages when the
- 6:43Speaker 11: last time you saw her? It was that when you
- 6:45Speaker 11: saw her, you have.
- 6:46Speaker 13: Her dinner at five thirty, So.
- 6:51Speaker 11: You left dinner at five thirty? What time did you
- 6:53Speaker 11: come back? Right? Two minutes before I called nine? One oh? Yeah.
- 6:59Speaker 3: According to Mariah had been with Colin, her ex boyfriend,
- 7:02Speaker 3: all day, and was home only a few minutes before
- 7:05Speaker 3: she was found dead. This made Colin a major person
- 7:09Speaker 3: of interest that the cops would interview later on, but
- 7:11Speaker 3: for now, there are more pressing matters. It turns out
- 7:15Speaker 3: Mariah was in town for a bike race and had
- 7:17Speaker 3: brought along with her a fourteen thousand dollars racing bike,
- 7:20Speaker 3: which could have been a massive target for someone, and
- 7:23Speaker 3: as the cops would soon find out that bike was missing,
- 7:27Speaker 3: it quickly became a possibility that someone could have been
- 7:29Speaker 3: waiting for Maria to be home alone and attempted to
- 7:32Speaker 3: rob the bike, only for Mariah to resist and end
- 7:36Speaker 3: up getting killed. This being their only lead, officers needed
- 7:40Speaker 3: to trace down where this bike went, as it could
- 7:42Speaker 3: take them straight to the murderer.
- 7:44Speaker 13: Yes for alves bike cover?
- 7:47Speaker 1: Yeah, Alli, there.
- 7:54Speaker 13: So for a few disforcing it right here. This is her.
- 8:11Speaker 11: Right inside the door. Yeah, the bike.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Anywhere you see a bike, she said, she would put
- 8:25Speaker 1: it right by the door.
- 8:27Speaker 11: No bike, that's negative. Jobs.
- 8:31Speaker 3: With no trace of the bike in the house, officers
- 8:33Speaker 3: decided to begin searching the woods nearby when they made
- 8:36Speaker 3: a discovery that showed them they were on the wrong
- 8:39Speaker 3: track completely, leaving them with absolutely zero leads.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Hey, come here, somebody might be here.
- 8:47Speaker 11: This might be the bike.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, the bike.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Since the bike was dumped nearby, officers suspected that this
- 9:10Speaker 3: was placed as a red herring for them to chase.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Officers are being tricked, and if the killer is smart
- 9:16Speaker 3: enough to trick officers, they're also smart enough to begin
- 9:19Speaker 3: covering up their tracks. This is why the officers swiftly
- 9:22Speaker 3: moved to gather evidence from the scene, the most important
- 9:25Speaker 3: of which are the shellcasings from the bullets used. Those
- 9:36Speaker 3: bullet shells will help cops identify the gun used. Now,
- 9:40Speaker 3: they just had to find that gun and the shooter,
- 9:43Speaker 3: who officers initially believed could have been Cash. It is
- 9:46Speaker 3: for this reason that officers bring Cash back to the
- 9:48Speaker 3: police station in order to conduct a crucial test to
- 9:51Speaker 3: confirm whether she's innocent or not.
- 9:53Speaker 8: So let me tell you this, Y no means in
- 9:57Speaker 8: the world do I think to utidity of it?
- 10:00Speaker 6: Okay, But so what they're going to do.
- 10:04Speaker 8: We're just going to have to swab your hands for
- 10:06Speaker 8: gunshop recide. If we don't do this to you, didn't
- 10:12Speaker 8: in court they can help? What about this other person?
- 10:15Speaker 8: Why didn't you do this part of the investigation.
- 10:17Speaker 3: A GSR or gunshot residue swab test of Cash's hands
- 10:21Speaker 3: presented a negative result. Considering that Mariah was in a
- 10:25Speaker 3: very narrow space of the home, officers concluded that Caitlin
- 10:28Speaker 3: It could not have been the one to murder her. Fortunately,
- 10:30Speaker 3: though Cash did provide an important piece of information, The
- 10:34Speaker 3: last person in contact with Mariah was Colin Strickland. Digging
- 10:39Speaker 3: deeper into this, cops discovered that the two were having
- 10:41Speaker 3: drinks at a nearby cafe and have never suspected that
- 10:44Speaker 3: this would be the last time that they saw each other.
- 10:47Speaker 3: This is why Colin was an important lead who could
- 10:49Speaker 3: give officers valuable insight about the events leading up to
- 10:52Speaker 3: the murder. But before police went into interview Colin, they
- 10:55Speaker 3: noticed some houses in the neighborhood had CCTV cameras installed,
- 10:58Speaker 3: which could possibly help her feel the killer's identity. When
- 11:01Speaker 3: investigators watched the footage back, they found something very interesting.
- 11:13Speaker 3: CCTV footage revealed this black jeep driving directly towards Cash's home,
- 11:18Speaker 3: where Mariah was staying that night. The moment it arrived,
- 11:22Speaker 3: ring cameras caught this gut wrenching audio, and immediately after
- 11:33Speaker 3: the shooting, the killer escaped. Although this was a massive breakthrough,
- 11:40Speaker 3: there was one glaring issue. Officers had no way of
- 11:44Speaker 3: identifying the driver. After all, the cameras were too grainy
- 11:47Speaker 3: and the vehicle was too far away for officers to
- 11:50Speaker 3: get a shot of the driver or run the plates. However,
- 11:53Speaker 3: only a few days later, they come across something incredibly
- 11:56Speaker 3: interesting when going to question Colin Strickland, Mariah's ex boyfriend. Yeah,
- 12:07Speaker 3: this is the same black jeep that officers saw on
- 12:10Speaker 3: cameras parked right outside Colin's home.
- 12:18Speaker 6: Colin, Hey, so do you know Anna Mo?
- 12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody calls her mom h last night's Wilson writer.
- 12:37Speaker 2: She's a girl writer.
- 12:40Speaker 6: Okay, so you know he's the same.
- 12:46Speaker 2: So apparently last night she passed away?
- 12:54Speaker 15: How good.
- 12:56Speaker 16: She is?
- 12:57Speaker 6: Right now?
- 12:58Speaker 8: It's investigation, but it is investigated.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Right now. The cops know he was the last person
- 13:07Speaker 3: to see her alive. They've discovered a vehicle in his
- 13:10Speaker 3: driveway that matches the one captured on security cameras, and
- 13:13Speaker 3: it even has a bicycle rack attached to the rear end.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Colin Strickland has just become their number one suspect, but
- 13:19Speaker 3: he doesn't realize this yet as officers continue to question him.
- 13:25Speaker 17: Okay, do you happen to have her mom's chance?
- 13:39Speaker 6: I know that.
- 13:42Speaker 15: I have an address for her brother, but who're just
- 13:44Speaker 15: trying to send someone to her mom's addresses? It was
- 13:49Speaker 15: actually the phone I didn't know.
- 14:00Speaker 14: Yeah, sure, so a part that she's been saying, yeah absolutely.
- 14:13Speaker 6: Sixth Thurs.
- 14:16Speaker 3: The cop intentionally avoided telling Colin how Mariah died, as
- 14:20Speaker 3: they do with any suspect in a murder case, but
- 14:22Speaker 3: they notice his body language is concerning, as he is
- 14:25Speaker 3: barely able to look them in the eyes. This could
- 14:28Speaker 3: either be because of pure shock as the two had
- 14:30Speaker 3: spent the previous day together, or in the worst case scenario,
- 14:33Speaker 3: he's afraid to look them in the eyes because he
- 14:36Speaker 3: had something to do with the murder. So to uncover
- 14:38Speaker 3: these secrets, police started looking into Colin's life and his
- 14:42Speaker 3: history with Mariah. This is when they discover Caitlin Armstrong,
- 14:46Speaker 3: Colin's girlfriend, who separated from him in October twenty twenty one,
- 14:50Speaker 3: but then got back together a month later in November. However,
- 14:53Speaker 3: during their break up period, he had a month long
- 14:56Speaker 3: romantic affair with Mariah and remained in contact with her
- 14:59Speaker 3: even after he resumed his relationship with Caitlin. Immediately, officers
- 15:03Speaker 3: begin suspecting that Caitlin could be one of the major
- 15:06Speaker 3: suspects in this investigation. These suspicions were further confirmed when
- 15:10Speaker 3: they ran the place of the black Jeep and found
- 15:12Speaker 3: that it didn't belong to Colin, but it was actually
- 15:15Speaker 3: owned by Caitlin. Considering that Colin was good friends with
- 15:19Speaker 3: Mariah and Caitlyn hated this, this made her a suspect
- 15:22Speaker 3: in this investigation. So to get to the bottom of this,
- 15:25Speaker 3: officers bring in Colin two days after the murder in
- 15:28Speaker 3: order to achieve two objectives with one interview. The first
- 15:31Speaker 3: would be able to see whether Colin has a solid
- 15:34Speaker 3: alibi that he can present to the officers. After all,
- 15:36Speaker 3: whether he did it or not, Colin was the last
- 15:39Speaker 3: person to see Mariah alive. And the second is to
- 15:42Speaker 3: gather information that can be used against other suspects like Caitlin.
- 15:47Speaker 6: And you sent his own left six thirty.
- 15:52Speaker 18: Too, because it must have about seven five or even later,
- 16:02Speaker 18: probably maybe more like me. Yeah, just as it was
- 16:05Speaker 18: getting dark. Okay, we went straight to her place and
- 16:09Speaker 18: it was as dark yet, but it was just get
- 16:12Speaker 18: cooling off and it.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Was the awesome evening. Remember.
- 16:15Speaker 8: Okay, what about whenever y'all were at the at the bar,
- 16:19Speaker 8: was there anybody that was like watching y'all or.
- 16:25Speaker 6: Actually was acting weird with Mo? Or mo didn't know
- 16:29Speaker 6: she's does live here, So no, not at all. Yeah,
- 16:33Speaker 6: nobody anybody that did like trying to hit on her
- 16:37Speaker 6: at the bar or anything or no, okay, no, not
- 16:39Speaker 6: that North that she mentioned. I didn't notice anything out
- 16:42Speaker 6: of or, to be honest, at the bar.
- 16:44Speaker 3: The cops are looking for more than just details of
- 16:47Speaker 3: what he and Mariah did that day. They're going to
- 16:49Speaker 3: try and figure out why exactly the black vehicle from
- 16:52Speaker 3: the murder scene was conveniently parked at Collins home.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Whenever I was.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Over there earlier, I saw there was the other car
- 17:00Speaker 2: because you said that you you drive a motorcycle, and
- 17:03Speaker 2: then you drove the Mercedes.
- 17:04Speaker 6: Drove a Mercedes up here. I guess the other one
- 17:07Speaker 6: is is hers my girlfriend, Caitlyn. Okay, so that belongs
- 17:10Speaker 6: to her. Okay, all right, so you got back around
- 17:12Speaker 6: like seven thirty. I exactly when that was?
- 17:16Speaker 10: I think I did?
- 17:17Speaker 6: You? Get texted Caitlyn as I was leaving, just saying, hey,
- 17:20Speaker 6: are you're still out getting food?
- 17:22Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 17:22Speaker 6: I'm more like eight thirty is when I dropped her
- 17:25Speaker 6: up at her house. Okay, I thank you.
- 17:26Speaker 19: Just before dark I texted Caitlin. I was out of
- 17:29Speaker 19: like after I left, Okay, And that was whenever you
- 17:31Speaker 19: say is eight thirty six. I think she was yoga class.
- 17:35Speaker 19: She showed up close.
- 17:37Speaker 6: So you you're getting back home, she's not home. What
- 17:41Speaker 6: time was it that she got home? Sure right after
- 17:44Speaker 6: I texted her? Probably years so nine twenty one. Okay,
- 17:52Speaker 6: where where's she been like that?
- 17:54Speaker 7: Whole.
- 17:56Speaker 6: She had actually a laser hair removal epploytment. She said
- 18:00Speaker 6: it in the seven pm downtown uh huh. And then
- 18:04Speaker 6: after that, I'm not exactly sure. She texted me asking
- 18:07Speaker 6: if I wanted to meet up, and I didn't reply,
- 18:10Speaker 6: and then I didn't.
- 18:11Speaker 19: See her, hear from her until till I was back
- 18:15Speaker 19: at home, and he's say anything like whenever she got home,
- 18:19Speaker 19: where has you been?
- 18:20Speaker 11: You know?
- 18:21Speaker 6: Was shooting her like a yoga outfit carrying a yoga man.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Although Colin had heard from Caitlin the night of the murder,
- 18:27Speaker 3: he couldn't give her a solid alibi and didn't even
- 18:30Speaker 3: know exactly where she did her yoga classes. He also
- 18:33Speaker 3: managed to avoid mentioning his romantic affair with Mariah, but
- 18:36Speaker 3: he'll soon be left with no choice but to tell
- 18:38Speaker 3: the cops everything.
- 18:40Speaker 6: So how long had you Caitlin been dating? About a
- 18:44Speaker 6: year and a half maybe two years actually, okay? And
- 18:47Speaker 6: then how long wasn't that y'all broken up? Whatever y'all
- 18:50Speaker 6: got been on very long? Actually, while you were dating Mo,
- 18:54Speaker 6: Caitlin is still living with you?
- 18:57Speaker 8: She was moving out, okay, I mean she had another house.
- 19:01Speaker 6: Was his sister in town, and yeah, it was definitely
- 19:06Speaker 6: very I.
- 19:07Speaker 16: Was about to say that would probably be pretty it pretty.
- 19:10Speaker 6: It definitely was awward. It was kind of almost like
- 19:12Speaker 6: something I felt like, I.
- 19:15Speaker 16: Don't like this, which is so why was it that
- 19:20Speaker 16: you had to change the name from THO in your
- 19:23Speaker 16: phone just because I I don't know, because.
- 19:26Speaker 15: In the past Kaalen has looked at my phone and
- 19:28Speaker 15: I just didn't want to.
- 19:31Speaker 6: I just didn't want to surface.
- 19:34Speaker 8: Basically, I want to always started fights exactly basically nobody
- 19:37Speaker 8: else can have you. Yeah, yeah, you know, so he's
- 19:41Speaker 8: kind of jealous, understandable, I mean.
- 19:43Speaker 6: Exactly unique to toy. Yeah, I got you.
- 19:47Speaker 3: After listening to Colin, officers achieved what they set out
- 19:50Speaker 3: to do. First, they cleared Colin, who had texts and
- 19:54Speaker 3: times to back up his alibi. Secondly, they managed to
- 19:56Speaker 3: gather information about Caitlin, whose entire story is shady. That
- 20:01Speaker 3: means that out of the three suspects that officers have Colin,
- 20:05Speaker 3: Cash and Kitlin, only Caitlyn's movements are entirely unaccounted for.
- 20:10Speaker 3: This is why cops were now more suspicious of her
- 20:13Speaker 3: than ever, but had no irrefutable evidence to arrest Kaitlin.
- 20:17Speaker 3: At least not until the cops searched the police database
- 20:21Speaker 3: and hit the jackpot. Kaitlin Armstrong had a warrant on
- 20:24Speaker 3: her head for a minor infraction. It was all they
- 20:27Speaker 3: needed to bring her in and then use it as
- 20:29Speaker 3: an excuse to question her about Mariah.
- 20:32Speaker 12: All right, So I'm Detective Connor, and so my partner
- 20:37Speaker 12: is actually talking to Colin right now. So I wanted
- 20:41Speaker 12: to come in here and start chat with you and
- 20:42Speaker 12: everything so you don't have to wait super long. So
- 20:46Speaker 12: it sounds like you may have some information and witness something.
- 20:49Speaker 12: So I just wanted to chat with you about some stuff.
- 20:52Speaker 12: But you're here for a warrant right now. I guess
- 20:56Speaker 12: are you familiar with what you have going on with that?
- 20:59Speaker 9: No idea, okay, So I.
- 21:00Speaker 7: Guess it was like a theft of service warrants than
- 21:03Speaker 7: kind of minor.
- 21:05Speaker 9: Okay, So that's why you're here.
- 21:08Speaker 12: You've got a theft of service warrant, that's why you
- 21:10Speaker 12: got picked up today and everything.
- 21:11Speaker 7: So I was just letting you know on that part.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Observe how the detective maintains an almost nonchalant demeanor despite
- 21:18Speaker 3: the gravity of the situation. This is deliberately done to
- 21:21Speaker 3: create a sense of security for Caitlin, ensuring she remains
- 21:24Speaker 3: unaware that she is under any suspicion by the police.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Despite this, Caitlyn appears noticeably tense and uneasy.
- 21:31Speaker 9: Can you tell me what it was that was the
- 21:35Speaker 9: theft of service?
- 21:37Speaker 12: I can look I'm not sure what it is at
- 21:40Speaker 12: this point, but I can look that up later and
- 21:43Speaker 12: get you a little bit more information on that for sure.
- 21:45Speaker 7: But because you are here, and because you are.
- 21:48Speaker 12: Under us for that portion of it, we always have
- 21:50Speaker 12: to read Moran instut because I want to talk to
- 21:52Speaker 12: you about some other stuff that's.
- 21:53Speaker 7: Unrelated to that.
- 21:54Speaker 3: The officer has ignored Caitlyn's questions about her warrant because
- 21:58Speaker 3: she is more focused on digging up information about Mariah's murder,
- 22:01Speaker 3: a tactic that becomes dangerous as Caitlin begins to raise
- 22:05Speaker 3: concerns about her legal counsel.
- 22:07Speaker 16: If I have.
- 22:07Speaker 20: An existing warrant and that you don't know what it's about,
- 22:11Speaker 20: do I need an attorney here?
- 22:13Speaker 12: So the warrant is just a class be just that's
- 22:16Speaker 12: a service type thing. The reason I'm here is because
- 22:19Speaker 12: your name came up during a conversation with Colin. I
- 22:24Speaker 12: think there's a lot more information that you have that
- 22:26Speaker 12: can kind of explain some of the stuff he's saying.
- 22:29Speaker 12: But to be able to do that, I have to
- 22:30Speaker 12: read you your rights just so that you know and
- 22:32Speaker 12: you're protected things like that.
- 22:34Speaker 9: Okay, okay. And so if you're reading me my rights, that's.
- 22:37Speaker 12: Because of the warrant, because you're under arrest for the warrant,
- 22:40Speaker 12: So you're technically in custody because of that warrant.
- 22:44Speaker 7: So they're two separate things. Does that make sense?
- 22:47Speaker 9: I think so, But I have never heard.
- 22:51Speaker 3: Even though they have Caitlin exactly where they want her,
- 22:54Speaker 3: one tiny mistake is about to allow someone cops suspect
- 22:58Speaker 3: to be a killer to walk away scott free.
- 23:02Speaker 12: Well, so that's what they were just knocking on the
- 23:07Speaker 12: door is apparently that warrant the data birth was wrong,
- 23:09Speaker 12: so it had your name, but the data birth is wrong,
- 23:12Speaker 12: so it's to a different person. So that's not You're
- 23:15Speaker 12: not under arrest. Okay, Okay, I know it's a little crazy.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Although the cop tries to make a joke of the situation,
- 23:23Speaker 3: Caitlin now knows that she can leave whenever she wishes.
- 23:26Speaker 3: After all, cops have no legal ground to hold her
- 23:29Speaker 3: any longer. This is why it's down to this cop
- 23:32Speaker 3: to try and convince her that talking is the right
- 23:35Speaker 3: thing to do.
- 23:36Speaker 12: But I would really like to talk to you and
- 23:39Speaker 12: clear some stuff up because Colin did bring your name up,
- 23:43Speaker 12: and I think there's a lot more information that you
- 23:46Speaker 12: have that can kind of clear some stuff up.
- 23:49Speaker 9: Does that make sense? It makes sense. I feel like
- 23:51Speaker 9: I should have an attorney present.
- 23:53Speaker 7: So that's totally your choice.
- 23:55Speaker 12: You So at this point, you are free to leave
- 23:58Speaker 12: at any point.
- 23:59Speaker 7: So this is going to be essential at this point
- 24:00Speaker 7: because you're not under arrest.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Okay, to make matters worse, Caitlin has just requested an attorney. Legally,
- 24:07Speaker 3: the detective is now bound to cease any and all
- 24:10Speaker 3: questioning related to Mariah's murder, but she's about to thread
- 24:14Speaker 3: a very dangerous line of breaking the law in order
- 24:17Speaker 3: to get any information out of Caitlin.
- 24:20Speaker 9: I would love to leave.
- 24:21Speaker 20: He love Foster arrested me in front of my house,
- 24:23Speaker 20: in front of all of my neighbors, and carried me
- 24:25Speaker 20: in here in handcuffs, in.
- 24:25Speaker 9: Front of Yeah, in Austin. It was incredibly I can't
- 24:29Speaker 9: wait imagine.
- 24:30Speaker 7: Yeah, And I'm so sorry. I don't have control over
- 24:32Speaker 7: that part.
- 24:33Speaker 9: Okay, I'm upset with you.
- 24:35Speaker 7: So there's a situation that's going on.
- 24:37Speaker 12: Did you hear about what's happened over the past twenty
- 24:40Speaker 12: four hours?
- 24:40Speaker 20: Colin walked in the house and said, one of the
- 24:42Speaker 20: women in the second community passed away.
- 24:44Speaker 8: Yes.
- 24:45Speaker 7: Yeah. While Colin was talking to us, your name came up.
- 24:49Speaker 12: And so that's where I would really like to talk
- 24:51Speaker 12: to you, because it sounds like there are some some
- 24:55Speaker 12: issues between you and this girl, and I think that
- 24:58Speaker 12: there's probably a lot more to it that you could
- 25:01Speaker 12: help explain.
- 25:03Speaker 9: Okay, I'm not sure exactly what you mean or what information.
- 25:06Speaker 12: Well, so it sounds like maybe he went out with
- 25:09Speaker 12: this girl the other day, and maybe it sounds like
- 25:13Speaker 12: from what he's saying that you were a little upset
- 25:15Speaker 12: about it. And so that's why I kind of wanted
- 25:18Speaker 12: to get your side of it, because that's not fair
- 25:20Speaker 12: if he's.
- 25:21Speaker 9: Just saying one thing and trying to go down a route,
- 25:25Speaker 9: I want to make sure that's not the case, that
- 25:28Speaker 9: it's not accurate.
- 25:29Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's why I wanted to chat with you,
- 25:31Speaker 7: because it's a guy.
- 25:33Speaker 12: He's gonna say stuff, and so we want to make
- 25:35Speaker 12: sure that we get both sides of the story and
- 25:37Speaker 12: everything and clear it up.
- 25:38Speaker 7: So what were you doing yesterday?
- 25:42Speaker 9: I would like to leave. I think you would like
- 25:44Speaker 9: to leave.
- 25:44Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, but understand if you do, then we only
- 25:47Speaker 12: have one side of a story to go on, and
- 25:50Speaker 12: from what we're hearing from Colin, you know it's one
- 25:53Speaker 12: side in it.
- 25:55Speaker 20: Well, I just am uncertain as to even what you
- 25:59Speaker 20: mean or what he could have said, because I didn't
- 26:01Speaker 20: have anything exactly and he saw or went out with
- 26:05Speaker 20: this girl.
- 26:05Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, had he been like talking to.
- 26:09Speaker 20: Everybody tonight, I don't actually know, And I would like
- 26:13Speaker 20: to leave.
- 26:14Speaker 6: Okay.
- 26:15Speaker 3: At this point, getting Caitlin to talk willingly seems like
- 26:18Speaker 3: a lost cause she knows she can walk out of
- 26:21Speaker 3: the station and nobody can stop her. So the detective
- 26:24Speaker 3: decides to drop their bombshell evidence in the hope she
- 26:27Speaker 3: might crack.
- 26:28Speaker 12: And your vehicle was seen next to her house, and
- 26:34Speaker 12: we needed to talk about that, okay, because when he's
- 26:37Speaker 12: saying this stuff and then your vehicle is seen, like
- 26:40Speaker 12: I want to be able to explain, Okay, there's a
- 26:43Speaker 12: logical explanation for this. Maybe you were upset and you
- 26:46Speaker 12: were just in the area or something like, I don't
- 26:49Speaker 12: know because I don't have your story.
- 26:51Speaker 7: When I can't explain that.
- 26:52Speaker 12: And all I see is that your vehicle's over there,
- 26:55Speaker 12: that that kind of makes it look not too good, right, Okay.
- 27:00Speaker 12: And then when we're talking to Colin and we're hearing like, yeah,
- 27:03Speaker 12: there was some some jealousy stuff going on, that doesn't
- 27:07Speaker 12: sound very good. And so that's why I really want
- 27:10Speaker 12: to get your side of the story, because maybe there's
- 27:12Speaker 12: a lot more going on.
- 27:16Speaker 9: I would like to leave if I'm free to leave, okay.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Unfortunately, there was nothing that officers could do to stop
- 27:23Speaker 3: Caitlyn from walking out at this point. They were incredibly
- 27:27Speaker 3: suspicious of her, as her behavior throughout the interrogation meant
- 27:31Speaker 3: that she was hiding something. But if officers couldn't find
- 27:34Speaker 3: out what this was from Caitlin, they'd do it from
- 27:37Speaker 3: the one person who knew her best, Colin Strickland, who
- 27:41Speaker 3: was called in a second time for an interview in
- 27:43Speaker 3: hopes of uncovering more information about Caitlin. However, there is
- 27:47Speaker 3: one problem. This time, Colin brought his lawyer with him,
- 27:51Speaker 3: and questioning him is about to become exponentially harder.
- 27:55Speaker 8: How was how was Caitlyn during that time understanding she
- 28:00Speaker 8: wasn't too happy whenever she saw Momed Caitlin had we
- 28:05Speaker 8: were after MO was in Austin for a week and
- 28:09Speaker 8: we had supt I had broken up with Kaitlin before
- 28:13Speaker 8: MO came to town, and then I actually did not
- 28:18Speaker 8: know that she was coming to Austin in October. I
- 28:20Speaker 8: had no idea I discussed that and I don't think
- 28:23Speaker 8: so it felt like a surprise.
- 28:25Speaker 6: And then she was here and I just said, oh,
- 28:27Speaker 6: let's hang out. I was mentally ready to kind of
- 28:31Speaker 6: move on.
- 28:32Speaker 8: And I know after MO left town after a week,
- 28:35Speaker 8: Caitlyn's things are still at my house. We were sleeping
- 28:37Speaker 8: in separate rooms, and effectively, you know, Caitlyn was on bumble.
- 28:43Speaker 8: I know she had made several dates with people, and
- 28:46Speaker 8: I don't know, I never asked, like, what, how, what
- 28:48Speaker 8: they were, what extent they were evolving a relationship, But
- 28:53Speaker 8: I know that she went on had several men that
- 28:56Speaker 8: she was dating of sorts, and I was fine with it.
- 28:59Speaker 8: I mean that was kind of the understanding, of course,
- 29:01Speaker 8: and so yeah, it just seems very weird to me
- 29:05Speaker 8: that she would be that there would be any dwelling
- 29:08Speaker 8: on Vincent's fighting on a person when she was like
- 29:15Speaker 8: living right, you know, moving on to other relationships, you
- 29:20Speaker 8: know at that time.
- 29:21Speaker 3: From what Colin says, the two clearly had a troubled relationship,
- 29:26Speaker 3: especially considering the facts that both Colin and Caitlyn rebounded
- 29:29Speaker 3: well on break. This is why officers need to dig
- 29:32Speaker 3: deeper into what Caitlyn acted like both during and after
- 29:36Speaker 3: this time to determine if she showed obsessive traits in
- 29:38Speaker 3: her personality.
- 29:40Speaker 8: It's just kind of going back to me just trying
- 29:42Speaker 8: to figure out like just kind of how she is,
- 29:45Speaker 8: her personality and stuff. I mean, if you were to
- 29:47Speaker 8: ask me about, like, hey, how is your wife, Well, yeah,
- 29:51Speaker 8: I mean I'm going to tell you, yeah, she's always happy.
- 29:53Speaker 6: But does she get mad? Yes, everybody gets mad, that's natural.
- 29:56Speaker 11: You know.
- 29:56Speaker 6: I'm not going to blow that out of proportion. I
- 30:00Speaker 6: think that my wife could go and kill somebody. No,
- 30:02Speaker 6: there's no way in the world do I think my
- 30:04Speaker 6: wife would hit somebody. No, if you asked me that
- 30:07Speaker 6: about my.
- 30:07Speaker 16: Six year old son, yeah, it wouldn't surprise if you
- 30:10Speaker 16: wouldn't punch somebody.
- 30:12Speaker 6: I don't think Kato would fight somebody. No, I honestly don't,
- 30:16Speaker 6: because it would be two. I don't know. Do I
- 30:21Speaker 6: think Caitlyn could kill somebody? No, I don't.
- 30:24Speaker 3: If Caitlin had been planning to murder Mariah, Colin was
- 30:28Speaker 3: about to make it clear he suspected nothing all along,
- 30:32Speaker 3: I said.
- 30:32Speaker 5: I think I think y'all need to stop talking to
- 30:35Speaker 5: each other.
- 30:36Speaker 9: You need to separate yourself from.
- 30:37Speaker 5: Each other while the fact finding is going on, as
- 30:40Speaker 5: something would be helpful, of course, and so I don't
- 30:44Speaker 5: think there's been very much it dobly not been any
- 30:47Speaker 5: being together.
- 30:48Speaker 6: Since she left.
- 30:50Speaker 8: And I left Saturday Friday start Friday midday eventually to
- 30:54Speaker 8: get a new simpcard for my phone, which I assumed
- 30:56Speaker 8: was okay, yeah, have the same note you're allowed, yeah, right,
- 31:00Speaker 8: and then soclaire.
- 31:03Speaker 6: Since then, I have not. I haven't spoken with Caitlyn
- 31:09Speaker 6: or seen her and like to.
- 31:13Speaker 8: So the two detectives, you know, two detectives came by
- 31:15Speaker 8: my house yesterday look at that, asking if if she
- 31:18Speaker 8: was there, if I had seen where she was, and
- 31:21Speaker 8: my father had contacted her that yesterday morning.
- 31:24Speaker 6: He had gotten in touch with her.
- 31:25Speaker 8: I gave him the number that Caitlin had given her
- 31:29Speaker 8: mutual attorney. Has she ever mentioned in the past of
- 31:33Speaker 8: wanting to hurt? Well, no, she's never mentioned I wanted
- 31:39Speaker 8: to physically hurt. Do you think that that she is capable?
- 31:44Speaker 8: If I thought she was physically capable of hurting another human,
- 31:48Speaker 8: I would have extricated myself immediately from that situation, not
- 31:52Speaker 8: only for my not so much for my own personal safety,
- 31:55Speaker 8: but my concern for another human.
- 32:00Speaker 9: So was the answer?
- 32:01Speaker 6: The answer is no, I don't believe in any way.
- 32:04Speaker 8: She's capable of the gun range that she visited with
- 32:08Speaker 8: her sister.
- 32:10Speaker 6: Do you know where that gun range is?
- 32:12Speaker 8: I think it was South By thirty five. I told
- 32:16Speaker 8: them to go to the Reds which is now something else,
- 32:19Speaker 8: which is the one I drove passed on my way
- 32:21Speaker 8: to school for twelve years at the Waldorf School that
- 32:25Speaker 8: they went to another one because a mutual friend.
- 32:28Speaker 6: Had been there.
- 32:29Speaker 9: You bought the guns, right.
- 32:31Speaker 6: I bought the guns? Yes, I think December, early December.
- 32:39Speaker 6: There's a receipt with them. I'm sure you could look
- 32:41Speaker 6: at them.
- 32:41Speaker 3: Seat And an ironic twist, Colin had bought Caitlin a
- 32:45Speaker 3: gun for self defense, but after police conducted a firearm examination,
- 32:49Speaker 3: it just so happened that the bullets it used were
- 32:52Speaker 3: the same caliber that were found near Mariah's body. So far,
- 32:56Speaker 3: the cops had evidence of Caitlyn's car at the scene,
- 32:58Speaker 3: they knew about her obsessive behavior, and they knew she
- 33:01Speaker 3: owned the same model of gun that was used to
- 33:04Speaker 3: kill Mariah. But while they searched for her whereabouts, the
- 33:07Speaker 3: investigation continued to uncover crucial and damning evidence that not
- 33:11Speaker 3: only heavily suggesting Caitlin was responsible for Mariah's death, but
- 33:15Speaker 3: also cleared Colin of any wrongdoing. The cops gathered all
- 33:19Speaker 3: cell phone data and compared it to the surveillance footage,
- 33:22Speaker 3: allowing them to map the movements of Mariah, Colin, and Caitlin.
- 33:25Speaker 3: On the night of May eleventh, twenty twenty two, Colin
- 33:29Speaker 3: and Mariah were at Poolburger after their swim and were
- 33:32Speaker 3: there around seven pm. When they left, they headed to
- 33:35Speaker 3: Maple Avenue, but didn't realize that Caitlin was stalking them
- 33:39Speaker 3: and was driving in the same direction. Caitlin thought that
- 33:42Speaker 3: turning off her cell phone would cover her tracks, but
- 33:45Speaker 3: the surveillance footage caught her, and what it shows is
- 33:47Speaker 3: a black jeep eerily similar to Caitlyn's closing in on
- 33:50Speaker 3: the house where Mariah was killed. As Colin dropped Mariah
- 33:54Speaker 3: off at the Maple Avenue address, both were completely unaware
- 33:57Speaker 3: that Caitlin was secretly stalking them. Only yards away. The
- 34:01Speaker 3: same black jeep had driven down the back alley of
- 34:03Speaker 3: Maple Avenue and was slowly heading toward Mariah's address. Moments
- 34:07Speaker 3: after Colin left, a neighbor's doorbell camera captured audio of
- 34:11Speaker 3: Mariah screaming for her life before she was murdered. Colin's
- 34:22Speaker 3: cell phone placed him driving away from the area before
- 34:24Speaker 3: Mariah's death and cleared him as a suspect. This meant
- 34:28Speaker 3: that the only person who could have killed Mariah was Caitlin.
- 34:31Speaker 3: All that was left to do was arrest her, but
- 34:34Speaker 3: when officers went to find her, they discovered a massive problem.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Just hours before they solved the murder, Caitlin had left
- 34:42Speaker 3: the country under a fraudulent passport, which was originally her sisters.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Caitlin likely did this to avoid using her own passport
- 34:50Speaker 3: and case officers were keeping tabs on her, but the
- 34:53Speaker 3: fraudulent passport gave her enough time to escape. After getting
- 34:57Speaker 3: a search warrant for her Gmail records, officers found a
- 35:00Speaker 3: flight ticket that was booked for a one way flight
- 35:02Speaker 3: to Costa Rica. Even CCTV footage obtained from Austin bergstrom
- 35:07Speaker 3: An International Airport in Austin showed her boarding into the plane.
- 35:10Speaker 3: An initial investigation into her records showed that she had
- 35:13Speaker 3: booked a hostel in Santa Teresa Beach while working as
- 35:16Speaker 3: a yoga instructor. So to lure her out, an officer
- 35:19Speaker 3: sent a message out on social media asking for a
- 35:22Speaker 3: yoga teacher in the local area. Soon, Caitlin took the
- 35:25Speaker 3: bait and replied to the ad and agreed to meet up.
- 35:29Speaker 3: But in the month that she'd been on the run,
- 35:32Speaker 3: she'd taken some extreme measures in order to conceal her identity.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Caitlin had undergone several surgical operations to alter her appearance,
- 35:40Speaker 3: but there was no fooling the arresting officer, who recognized
- 35:43Speaker 3: Caitlin from her eyes. She was arrested and flown back
- 35:47Speaker 3: to the United States, where she was charged with attempted murder. However,
- 35:52Speaker 3: that wasn't the end of it, because in October twenty
- 35:55Speaker 3: twenty three, Caitlyn tried to escape again by taking advantage
- 35:59Speaker 3: of a doctor's appoint outside of jail. She can be
- 36:02Speaker 3: seen here fleeing from the cops after she jumped from
- 36:04Speaker 3: a bathroom window. This time she was caught almost instantly.
- 36:09Speaker 3: If the several attempts to escape justice and falsifying of
- 36:12Speaker 3: documents weren't enough to convince a jury Caitlin was guilty,
- 36:16Speaker 3: then the surveillance footage and the testimony of Colin Strickland,
- 36:19Speaker 3: and most importantly, the ballistic analysis that matched the gun
- 36:23Speaker 3: to the shell casings, found that the scene of the
- 36:25Speaker 3: crime certainly were enough to convince them. Consequently, a year
- 36:29Speaker 3: and a half later, on November sixteenth, twenty twenty three,
- 36:33Speaker 3: Caitlin was found guilty of first degree murder and she
- 36:36Speaker 3: was sentenced to ninety years in prison for the cold
- 36:40Speaker 3: blooded murder of Mariah Wilson.
