High-Profile Murder Case Now on Netflix

Netflix released the documentary series 'The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson' on April 3, 2026, shedding light on one of America's most talked-about murder cases in recent years. Professional cyclist Moriah Wilson, 25, was found dead in Austin, Texas on May 11, 2022—a case that quickly escalated into an international manhunt.

The documentary draws on first-hand interviews with people close to the case, detailed investigative materials, and reconstructed timelines that piece together the events surrounding the murder. Available for global streaming, the series has already attracted international attention for its thorough examination of this complex case.

Love Triangle Ends in Tragedy

According to American authorities, the murder stemmed from a love triangle. Moriah Wilson had a brief relationship with professional mountain biker Colin Strickland, who at the time was in an on-and-off relationship with yoga instructor Kaitlin Armstrong. Armstrong quickly became the prime suspect in the case.

Investigators placed her vehicle near the crime scene, and evidence pointed directly to her involvement. However, Armstrong disappeared without a trace, triggering a 43-day international manhunt that captivated true crime followers worldwide.

Dramatic Flight and Arrest

Kaitlin Armstrong attempted to evade authorities by fleeing to Costa Rica, where she underwent cosmetic procedures in an effort to alter her appearance. However, her location was eventually discovered, and she was arrested and extradited back to the United States to face charges. The case went to trial, with prosecutors presenting evidence of motive, means, and opportunity—all documented in the Netflix series with new details and exclusive interviews.
