Where was this “fugitive granny,” as she was called by media outlets? Officials were on the hunt. In an even more suspicious turn, Lois had transferred $11,000 from her dead husband’s business account to his personal account.Īmid the mounting evidence, Lois went from being a missing person to a person of interest for murder, theft, and forgery. She had stolen $100,000 from her sister to pay for her high-stakes vice, reported CBSN Minnesota in 2018. Was she the victim of foul play? Had she been kidnapped and the car stolen?īut investigators explored Lois’ background, and what they turned up presented an alternative theory. Their Cadillac Escalade was gone as well. Lois, his wife of 26 years, was nowhere to be found. The decaying corpse of David Riess was found in a bathroom. On March 23, 2018, officers carried out a welfare check on the couple’s home in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota. She and her husband were very social, so w hen the Riesses went missing for two weeks and were no-shows at work, locals noticed. She was a daycare worker, who had three kids and five grandchildren. In early 2018, nobody imagined Lois Riess being at the center of a national manhunt and a cold-blooded murder plot. But the slaying of Hutchinson, 59, may have possibly been avoidable if there was less red tape and more communication between statewide jurisdictions, as seen on Oxygen's " Injustice with Nancy Grace,” airing Thursdays at 9/8c on Oxygen. No one saw the murder of David Riess, 54, coming. But there’s also a glaring contrast in the back-to-back homicides by Lois, who was 56 when she pulled the trigger. Same motive: to snag money to feed her gambling addiction. Same modus operandi: bodies left to rot in a bathroom, where towels were positioned to hide the horrid smell of decomposition. It was Lois who murdered David at their home in March 2018 before fleeing to Florida, where she killed a look-alike stranger, Pamela Hutchinson. David Riess was a kind, small-town Minnesota worm farmer, but as a former family friend put it, his wife, Lois Riess, is a “monster.”
