Kaitlin Armstrong’s Failed Prison Escape Plot Unveiled in Court
In a shocking revelation during court proceedings, it was disclosed that Kaitlin Armstrong, the former yoga teacher accused of killing her boyfriend’s cyclist ex-lover, had allegedly devised an elaborate plan to escape from prison.
The plan involved faking a leg injury to secure offsite medical appointments as a guise for her escape.
A Devious Escape Scheme Uncovered
The 35-year-old Armstrong had requested offsite medical attention for her purported leg injury, creating an opportunity for her to break free from custody.
However, her escape attempt was thwarted, leading to further scrutiny of her actions while incarcerated.
Intense Exercise Routine and Disguises
Despite claiming a leg injury, Armstrong’s rigorous exercise regimen while in prison was documented on security footage.
Additionally, she had taken measures to disguise her identity, wearing thermal trousers under her county-issued uniform and stripping them off during a foot pursuit, making her resemble an ordinary civilian rather than an inmate.
Metal Pin and Dental Floss Discovered
An investigation of Armstrong’s cell post-escape revealed troubling findings.
Authorities discovered a metal pin that appeared to have been broken off, possibly intended for manipulating handcuffs.
This discovery raised suspicions that Armstrong had planned her escape meticulously.
