[MUSIC PLAYING] Here with the fabulous Mo Wilson, you are like ready. I'm ready. Y'all are so excited to be here. Her name was Mariah, but everybody called her Mo. My name is Palar Melendez, and I am a senior reporter with The Daily Beast. Funny, and friendly, and smart, and driven, Mo was a rising star. What happened to Mo was a tragedy. I found the Mo inside the residence. It was pretty grisly seen, shaped, and shot multiple times. At first, detectives thought it was a robbery. You're looking into this possibility of a robbery or a burglary, but parallel to that, there is this name, Colin Strickland. Colin's relationship with Mo was like they're both bike racers. They had like a romantic relationship. Colin said they had broken up. The situation was complicated. There was another woman in Colin's life. Her name was Caitlin Armstrong. Homoside detectives were very interested in talking to Caitlin Armstrong. He's starting to get the sense that there could be some jealousy to it. At this point, she kind of disappears. No one knows where she is. Caitlin Armstrong vanished, seemingly in a thin air, sparking what would become an international manhunt. First leading authorities across the United States, and then eventually here to the beaches of Costa Rica. Along the way, she used multiple identities and changed her appearance, even getting plastic surgery. How smart was Caitlin Armstrong? He did some pretty intelligent things. The thing that people don't know is you don't have to be just smarter than one, two, three, or four of us, 'cause there's a team of 20 plus people. You have to be smarter than a lot of people to get away with. It almost worked. It almost worked. Up-and-coming pro-gravel bike racer, Mariah Wilson, known as Motus Some, appeared happy and enthusiastic, just months before she was found murdered. I don't think anybody could really believe it at first. You know, why would anybody want to hurt her harm or kill this lovely, talented young woman?
