‘It doesn’t surprise me’: Investigator on Armstrong fleeing to Costa Rica | Banfield

“It doesn’t surprise me that she’d go to a foreign country because, down there in Central America, they’re not following the news in Austin, Texas,” Private Investigator Jason Jensen said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Banfield.”
Susan Pamerleau, the U.S. marshal for the Western District of Texas, also weighed in with more details on the 43-day fugitive hunt.

As a yoga enthusiast, this lady should have known more about controlling self and stilling the mind as yoga is a group of physical, mental and spiritual practices and disciplines. Where have self control and self discipline gone? It seems like yoga failed to discipline her. While there is so much in this world worth dying for, there is absolutely nothing/nil/zero in this world worth killing for-not even a sick love for a gentleman as our own freedom is still more valuable than any cheating man. Proverbs 27:4 states: “There is cruelty of rage, also the flood of anger, but who can stand before jealousy?” Proverbs shows that of any emotions mentioned in the verse, jealousy is most dangerous. Therefore, let us all beware!
