If that is the worst oversight of your day, you are much better than myself.
In all seriousness, I hope whatever facts there are come out quickly and there is some swiftness in justice. I'm sure this entire thing has made this whole horror show even more awful for the family and friends.

The media cycle is just getting warmed up: murder, athletes, love triangle, attractive women, fugitives, international vibes & tropical locales.
TV movies, Law & Order episodes, Friday night network āwho dunnit?ā shows
The media machine thirsts for content from otherās misfortune.

Not to mention the escape attempt parallel with The Shawshank Redemption. Andy Dufresne had more time to plan, otherwise surely she would have pulled it off.....

I just saw it on a news feed on social media.
I lived full-time in Costa Rica from 2005 to 2010. Santa Theresa is a bit of a hassle to get to, but itās far from āremoteā in my mind.
I was talking through it with a friend this morning and itās a tough thing to wrap your head around. Being on the run for the rest of your life would be a disaster.
She could have gone somewhere more remote, but how do you earn income?
The most obvious Monday morning quarterback decision would have been to catch the bus up to Penas Blancas and hop the border into Nicaragua. San Juan del Sur could have provided an expat lifestyle with the comfort of much more difficult extradition.
The CR criminal justice system is inefficient to say the least, the fact that they tracked her and apprehended her is a miracle. A victory they will celebrate for ages Iām sure.
I ran across a few people over the years that I lived down there that experienced incarceration on some level. Not pleasant. One associate went to the womenās prison for a trumped up immigration charge and it was chilling to hear her story. A fellow inmate crying through the night due to rats in her cell only to be shot with a high pressure water hose to quiet her down stuck in my mind.
Jealous rage ended a life and destroyed a few more that night. I doubt Colin will ever recover either. I donāt blame him for attempting some damage control, but ultimately he will never escape this tragedy either.

can't believe people are using jokes/winks/sarcasm on this thread. also, the ongoing discussion of how the murderer should have been more careful to get away is beyond inappropriate. many of y'all make me sick. this situation is beyond sad.

It wasn't jokes/winks/sarcasm related to the topic. It was aimed at the guy who posted "breaking news" that had been talked about in the 20 posts prior to that. I can't believe that needs to be explained to you but here we are.

She's now back in Texas.
Looks like she may have had some help from her sister on her flee to Costa Rica.

Can't make this up, and unfortunately it's going to end up some kind of true crime docu-drama.

That's the story I'd go with so the sister doesn't get in trouble too, but I'd guess if she helped her there will be a bunch of other evidence as well.

Photo now posted of her post-capture, looks like she did get a nose job. I guess she was really in it to win it. Off topic, but kind of impressive she found a plastic surgeon who could get her in so quickly while on the run.

Agree. And does look significantly different I think.

Hard to believe they are going to release her, assuming she can post a bond. She's the literal definition of a flight-risk.
Quote:
Travis County court records show Armstrongās bond will be set at $3.5 million. She will be required to surrender her passport to a district clerk before release and have a GPS in jail. Her curfew will be 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., according to records.

I don't think she looks that different, and may have always wanted the nose job anyway. Slightly darker shade of a dye job, and left it long, handy for the
cameras as she was apprehended :( what a pos.
RIP Mo Wilson.

Wasnāt condoning what she did, and I am glad she was caught and will face judgement for her crimes.
Today show just did a piece on this. Iām sure the Dateline producers are getting on board.
