“I love you, and I believe that you're not capable of doing this,” said Sharon Armstrong, mother of Kaitlin, when we interviewed her in May.

Armstrong was expected to be returned to the United States, where she faces a murder charge. Wilson was found dead May 11, and Austin police later issued a murder warrant for Armstrong.
