Now-retired longtime U.S. Marshals boss Lenny DePaul explains what manhunt's new 'major case' status means for search for Kaitlin Armstrong
"The U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force assisting with the fugitive investigation of an Austin woman wanted for homicide has learned that the suspect was dropped off at the Newark Liberty International Airport May 18, a day after Austin police obtained a warrant for her arrest," a USMS press release from Monday stated.
With the case status upgraded to "major," marshals have more money and resources available to use toward finding their fugitive, explained Lenny DePaul, a now-retired commander of the U.S. Marshal Service’s New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force. In this case, they’re hunting for the yogi and licensed realtor, who has a history of flipping homes and was previously wanted for skipping out on a $650 Botox bill, authorities have said.The U.S.
USMS cases fall into one of three tiers: regular fugitive cases, major cases and top 15 fugitives, DePaul went on. Simply put, marshals working "major" cases have access to "a lot of manpower and money and state-of-the-art equipment," DePaul explained.Texas yoga teacher Kaitlin Armstrong sought after California cyclist shot to death
Marshals also have a federal warrant for Armstrong's arrest, which DePaul said gives the agency "a lot of jurisdiction and a lot of leverage." Austin Police Department investigators have linked one of the guns found in Armstrong’s home to the weapon used to kill Wilson on the night of May 11, APD Homicide Det. Richard Spitler previously said. On May 12, investigators executed a search warrant at the home that Armstrong shared with, he said.
"Armstrong was questioned about her vehicle being in the area as pictured on the Ring camera. However, she would not confirm or deny being in the area of the murder and quickly terminated the interview," Spitler said.
