Description

In the days after Moriah Wilson’s murder, Kaitlin Armstrong made a calculated move that investigators later viewed as part of her escape plan: she sold her black Jeep Grand Cherokee, the same vehicle captured on surveillance near the crime scene. Armstrong reportedly sold the SUV to a CarMax dealership for just over $12,000, a transaction completed not long before she fled the country. The sale raised eyebrows because it provided her with quick cash that could fund her disappearance, while also distancing her from a vehicle that had become a critical piece of evidence. Detectives would later confirm the Jeep’s role in placing her at the location where Wilson was killed, further underscoring the significance of her decision to offload it.

Authorities believe the sale of the Jeep was one of Armstrong’s final steps before leaving the U.S., as it gave her both money and time to maneuver. By liquidating the car so quickly, she demonstrated a level of forethought that made the manhunt more challenging, since she not only removed herself from Austin but also attempted to erase the trail of one of the most damning links to the crime. This strategic move, combined with her use of her sister’s passport, showed how determined she was to avoid capture. It became a key detail in illustrating how Armstrong’s escape was not impulsive but carefully planned in the wake of the murder.
