Authorities initially had difficulty spotting Armstrong in Santa Teresa, a popular travel destination, as many of those in the town physically resembled Armstrong.
“I think from the get-go we were told … you’re gonna be in for a surprise, ‘cause a lot of the women in Santa Teresa look just like Kaitlin – a lot of them,” the deputy US marshal Damien Fernandez said to CBS.

In a last ditch effort, US investigators posted an advertisement looking for a yoga teacher on Facebook.
I wonder how many of these never make news headlines lol.
There's so many clever people out there in neat positions.

When job offers are considered ruse.
