EVIDENCE from the day of Moriah Wilson’s death has emerged showing disturbing new details strengthen a case against Kaitlin Armstrong for murder.
Kaitlin Armstrong is standing trial for the murder of Moriah Wilson after the police alleged she killed the woman in a jealous rage on May 11, 2022.
Armstrong and her long-term partner, Colin Strickland became close to Wilson through their shared cycling hobby.
Shortly before Wilson’s body was found, she had flown into Texas to participate in the Gravel Locos, a 150-mile bike race.
While in town, she and Colin agreed to meet up and hang out.
Police believe Armstrong may have located the two via a cycling app known as Strava, where locations are enabled.
According to the police, Armstrong allegedly followed Moriah to the apartment she was staying in and may have fired a 9mm handgun – the same gun Colin told authorities they kept in their home.
As the prosecution recently laid out their case, the 911 dialogue from the night Wilson was found dead left family and friends of the deceased in tears.
Caitlin Cash, present in court, was the one who found Wilson’s body and placed the 911 call.
“She was covered in blood, lying on her back,” Cash told the court in her testimony.
“I immediately bent down and tried to wake her up. Pretty quickly, I called 911,” she finished explaining
In the call, she could be heard being instructed by the 911 dispatcher on how to give chest compressions before her voice took over with a steady count of numbers as Cash delivered the compressions.
“She is laying on the bathroom floor and there is blood everywhere. I can’t tell what happened,” she told the dispatcher.
“She’s not awake. There is blood all over her face and the back of her head.”
At one point in the call, Cash was clearly overtaken with tears, describing the disturbing scene through her emotions.

“Her brain is leaking,” Cash was heard saying on the 911 call.
Much of Wilson’s family who were in the courthouse was left in tears during and following the replay of the 911 call.
But the bloodcurdling emergency call is not the only detailed piece of evidence that left onlookers squirming.
Body camera footage from responding police officer Martin Salinas of the Austin Police Department was also shown in court.
Upon arriving at 10:01pm, the video shows Cash actively giving the injured woman chest compressions.
The footage then showed blood pooling around Wilson’s body, growing as Salinas continued with compressions.
At this point, Cash was still on the phone with dispatch and she could be heard whispering, “what the f*ck,” while resting on her hands and knees as Salinas took over CPR.
Eventually, emergency medical services arrived and could be heard instructing the officer to stop CPR to check Wilson’s body.
The footage also revealed the gunshot wound exit hold in Wlison’s head.
Then, just six minutes after Salinas’ arrival on the scene EMS can be heard over the body camera footage saying, “we are going to call it [time of death],” at 10:07pm.
After the disturbing footage was revealed, Wilson’s father was seen with “his head in his hands,” and “plugging his ears with his fingers,” while another officer described the state of Wilson’s body.
