Authorities capture Austin woman accused of killing pro cyclist

Flashback: Austin police questioned Armstrong, but she "was mistakenly released from custody" because of a paperwork discrepancy involving her birthdate, Det. Richard Spitler said in a news conference in May.

• She fled Austin just three days after the crime.
• In an arrest warrant issued May 17, investigators said video surveillance showed a vehicle that Armstrong drives pull up to the residence where Wilson was staying in East Austin.
• Police responded to a 911 call at the home, where they found Wilson bleeding and unconscious from multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Details: U.S. law enforcement groups worked with Costa Rica authorities to locate and arrest Armstrong on Wednesday at a hostel on Santa Teresa Beach, according to U.S. marshals.

• Armstrong used a fraudulent passport to board a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to San Jose, Costa Rica, on May 18, authorities said.
• Officials previously located Armstrong's black Jeep and learned that she sold the vehicle to a CarMax dealership in South Austin and received a check for it the day after talking to authorities.

• The 34-year-old will be deported and returned to the U.S., officials said.

What they're saying: "This is an example of combining the resources of local, state, federal and international authorities to apprehend a violent fugitive, bring an end to that run and hopefully a sense of closure to the victim's family," said Susan Pamerleau, U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Texas.
