Woman on Trial for Murder Got Plastic Surgery in Costa Rica to Avoid Capture | Trial Day 1 Recap - Video

In the so-called "Love Triangle Murder Trial," yoga instructor Kaitlin Armstrong is on trial for murdering a professional bicyclist named Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson. Kaitlin was in a relationship with professional bicyclist Colin Strickland. When Kaitlin and Colin were on a break in their relationship, Colin very briefly dated Mo. Friends described this as basically a very casual, very brief dating period, without much emotional connection. Things didn't work out romantically for Colin and Mo, but they allegedly remained friends. Prosecutors allege that Kaitlin became very jealous of Mo ever since, and that this jealousy drove her to take Mo's life.

After she was questioned by police, she fled to Costa Rica on her sister's passport, where she dyed her hair and had plastic surgery that changed her face dramatically. After she was apprehended, she tried escaping a second time, this time from a doctor's appointment she had in jail.

Trial in this case began on October 30th in Austin, TX when a jury was paneled.

On November 1st, the prosecution and defense gave their opening statements. This video is a recap of Day 1 of this trial.
