Speaker 1: Colin person. So you know Anna, last night's Wilson. Oh yes,
0:11
I do. So there's really no easy way to save this.
0:14
So apparently last night she passed away.
0:18
Speaker 2: This is Colin Strickland and he was just told that
0:22
his ex girlfriend Anna Wilson was brutally murdered only hours ago.
0:36
Speaker 3: My friend is staying with me and I just walked
0:38
in and she's laying on the bathroom floor and her
0:42
blood everywhere.
0:51
Speaker 4: Okay, so I stop. I don't know what happened. I
0:57
just walked in on her.
0:59
Speaker 2: When first arrived at this gruesome sight, they suspected a
1:03
robbery gone wrong, but a series of demming clues found
1:08
at the crime scene quickly pointed to not just a
1:11
meticulously planned murder, but a deadly love triangle and a
1:16
killer that was closer to home than anyone expected.
1:22
Speaker 5: Did you kill them?
1:24
Speaker 6: No?
1:25
Speaker 7: No.
1:30
Speaker 2: On May eleventh, twenty twenty two, police were called to
1:33
an address after a woman made this disturbing nine one
1:36
one call.
1:38
Speaker 8: What's the emergency.
1:40
Speaker 3: It's seventeen oh eight Maple Avenue.
1:43
Speaker 7: Okay, tell me exactly what happened.
1:45
Speaker 3: My friend is staying with me and I just walked
1:48
in and she's laying on the bathroom floor and there's
1:51
blood everywhere, and I don't know what happened.
1:56
Speaker 6: Is she awake, She's not awake.
1:58
Speaker 3: There's all over her face, all on the back of
2:00
her head. Is she breathing?
2:03
Speaker 7: Okay, got the paramedics on the way to help you.
2:05
Speaker 2: Stay on the line, Caitlin. That caller was Caitlin Cash,
2:09
and she derived home to find her friend Mariah Wilson,
2:12
clinging to life after being shot.
2:20
Speaker 4: Awesome, boys, try to stop, haven't I just walked in
2:33
on her?
2:35
Speaker 6: Okay?
3:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, we heard any shot? Or no?
3:07
Speaker 2: That's After assessing the situation, officers noticed cerebra spinal fluid
3:18
or c S for short, oozing onto the floor. This
3:20
fluid surrounds the brain, meaning the bullets had actually pierced
3:24
her skull and killed her instantly. This meant there was
3:28
no saving her no matter what anyone did, but officers
3:31
could still bring her killer to justice, which is why
3:34
they need answers right now, answers that only Cash can give,
3:38
as she is the only witness that officers currently have.
3:42
Speaker 9: Do you know if he's talking to anyone or any friends?
3:45
Speaker 1: And I say, you.
3:45
Speaker 9: Don't live here?
3:46
Speaker 4: She was with her friend Colin.
3:50
Speaker 1: It Slin.
3:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I.
3:57
Speaker 1: Think did you see a gun or anything like that?
4:01
Speaker 10: Anyone you want, Colin, he said, and you.
4:13
Speaker 3: Follow you can call Brooks give you his whe number.
4:18
Speaker 10: From you, he said. So she went swimming with following
4:21
Stricklin swimming. I left to go have I didn't know
4:26
where's my that I came back.
4:32
Speaker 5: How she's staying with me right now.
4:34
Speaker 2: Police are a bit disoriented as to what exactly went
4:37
down just hours earlier, but they would soon run into
4:40
some evidence that would change everything. Worth noting is that
4:44

6:29

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