However, investigators were compelled to release Armstrong due to a discrepancy. The birthdate provided by Armstrong did not align with the date mentioned in the warrant, rendering the warrant invalid. Moreover, the police lacked sufficient evidence to press any other charges against her.
Following the interview, the police received an unforeseen phone call after two days. The caller happened to be a friend of Armstrong, who informed the police that Armstrong was extremely furious about Strickland's involvement with Wilson and expressed her desire to harm her. This revelation further confirmed that the police were making progress in their investigation. Subsequently, a few days later, an arrest warrant was issued. However, when the police attempted to locate Armstrong, she had vanished.

ON THE HUNT FOR KAITLIN ARMSTRONG

After Kaitlin Armstrong disappeared, the responsibility of locating her fell upon the U.S. Marshals.

Chris Godsick emphasizes that the Marshals are skilled in the art of tracking down individuals. They are essentially hunters, relentlessly pursuing their targets.
