Kaitlin Armstrong was finally caught after 42 days on the run after US Marshals posted an ad seeking a yoga teacher

Armstrong, 36, fled Austin, Texas, shortly after gunning down rising cycling star Moriah Wilson in a jealous rage over her relationship with her live-in boyfriend. She was sentenced last yea to 90 years for the brutal murder.

While in Costa Rica, US Marshals posted an ad seeking her services as a yoga teacher after they received a tip of where Armstrong could be.

According to the report by DailyMail.co.uk, U.S. Marshals Damien Fernandez and Emir Perez had hit a dead end in Costa Rica and were ready to return to the United States when they tried one last tactic.

“We decided we were gonna put an ad out … or multiple ads for a yoga instructor and see what would happen. We got a bite, somebody who identified herself as a yoga instructor and said they wanted to meet with us at a particular hostel… And we said … “This is, this is our chance,” Perez told Inside Edition.

Perez narrated that he and his fellow agent arranged to meet with Armstrong, who they found sitting at a table at the hostel she was staying at in Santa Teresa.

“Armstrong looked different, after having plastic surgery – including a nose job and brow lift – in her attempt to evade justice. However, her eyes were the same, Perez noted.

Armstrong looked dramatically different on being arrested, thanks to her reshaped nose and the brow lift, which sees a patient’s forehead sliced into and pulled up to create a more youthful appearance.

“In newly available images taken from the killer’s phone and shown on trial, Armstrong was seen showing off the result of the plastic surgery she received in Costa Rica,” said Perez.

The cosmetic surgery in Costa Rica was evidenced by filed court documents showing Armstrong had paid US$6,350 to a local doctor.

Last October, before she was sentenced, Armstrong faked an injury to go to a doctor’s appointment days before her trial and tried and failed to escape police custody.
