A BIZARRE video has captured the moment a murder suspect escaped the clutches of cops in an alleged plot that took months of intense jailyard training.

Former yoga instructor Kaitlin Armstrong, 32, sparked an international manhunt after her boyfriend’s lover was shot to death in May 2022.

On October 11, Armstrong was caught on camera racing away from police toward a fence after leaving a doctor’s appointment in South Austin, Texas.

She had been serving months in jail after she was charged with murdering pro cyclist Moriah Wilson, 25, who had gone on a date with her boyfriend Colin Strickland while the two were taking a break.

After the killing, Armstrong changed her hair, assumed a new identity, and fled to Costa Rica before they were able to finally arrest her.

Prosecutors say the fugitive started teaching yoga and even dating under the names Air, Beth, and Liz while she was on the run, Fox News reports.

It appeared that she could have gotten plastic surgery, as she had a bandage across her nose when police arrested her and it looked different from before, court documents reveal.

Over a month after her escape, she was arrested and sent back to Austin to await her murder trial.

But Armstrong would make one final attempt at freedom before the trial began.

In jail, surveillance footage showed Armstrong doing yoga routines and intense workouts that included sprints and squats, prosecutors said in a probable cause affidavit.

When the day came for a doctor’s appointment, she allegedly told Travis County sheriff’s officials that she had a leg injury and couldn’t be bound at her feet.

“As she and two corrections officers were exiting the medical building after the appointment, Armstrong ran,” a sheriff’s spokesman said.

“The officers pursued her on foot for approximately 10 minutes without ever losing sight of her.”

Investigators believe that she was able to use a spool of dental floss and a metal pin to lockpick her handcuffs, according to the documents.

She allegedly injured two guards and sprinted for about a mile during the 10-minute escape.

While running, she started stripping off her prison uniform, revealing that she had thermal underwear underneath “in an effort to disguise her appearance as an inmate,” investigators said.

Video captured by a bystander shows her sprinting through a parking lot as a stumbling guard tries to keep up.

She was tackled once while trying to scale a six-foot fence, but managed to get away and keep running, the affidavit reveals.

Armstrong was a high school athlete and cyclist but did not ride professionally like her boyfriend.

LOVE TRIANGLE

Wilson had a brief fling with Strickland while he was on a break from Armstrong, according to police.

Officials believe Armstrong tracked Wilson’s location through her public account on the Strava fitness app, which is used by cyclists and runners to track and share their progress with others.

Armstrong’s 2012 black Jeep Grand Cherokee was captured stalking the street on a Ring doorbell that night.

Strickland walked his former lover back to the house at around 8.30pm the day she was killed, and Wilson’s roommate found her lying on a bathroom floor covered in blood, per police.

Strickland has previously told The U.S. Sun that his relationship with Wilson was strictly platonic after he got back together with Armstrong and that he felt law enforcement skewed the version of events told in the affidavit.

“I had ended the relationship with Kaitlin and it was just interesting timing because Mo had come to Austin to visit a friend that exact week. 

“It was completely unplanned and yeah, we started spending some time together. 

“That was clearly expressed to Kaitlin at that time and Kaitlin dated other men directly after that. 

“We were clearly going our separate ways but we just didn’t get enough inertia to separate.”

Armstrong’s murder trial is scheduled to begin on October 30.
