Caitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, returned to Austin six days after her arrest in Costa Rica, hiding and studying yoga with an altered appearance and apparent cosmetic surgery. Armstrong was charged Tuesday afternoon in the May 11 slaying of 25-year-old Anna Moriah Wilson, who had a romantic fling with Armstrong’s live-in boyfriend and went swimming with him hours before she was killed.

Armstrong learned of the flight in January and told a friend she “wanted to kill Wilson,” according to a police affidavit published by the Austin American-Statesman.
