Lois Reiss, Grandmother Accused of Murder on the Run : What We Know
Youtube

Lois Reiss, a grandmother and mother of three, is accused of murder in two states. She is now on the run.

Police say Reiss killed her husband in March before making her way to Iowa, and then Fort Meyers. In Florida, police say Reiss killed a woman who looks like her to steal her identity, reports ABC News Local 13.


Speaking to NBC on Sunday, County Undersheriff Carmine Marceno said, "She smiles and looks like anyone’s mother or grandmother... And yet she’s calculated, she’s targeted and an absolute cold-blooded killer."

Surveillance footage from the Smokin' Oyster Brewery in Fort Myers shows Reiss speaking animatedly with Pamela Hutchinson, 59, who was found dead in her condo four days later.

A nationwide hunt is underway for the 56-year-old.

Court Records Indicate a Gambling Problem

County Sheriff Carmine Marceno tells the Star Tribune that the grandmother and mother has "killed two people and she's still on the run." The hunt for the 56-year-old has taken four weeks thus far.

Court records obtained by the Star Tribune in Minnesota show that Reiss has been accused of stealing more than $78,000 from her disabled sister and spending it herself, mostly at casinos. One affidavit read, "I received a report that Lois Riess transfers funds from the guardianship account for Kimberly Sanchez to Lois Riess' own account.[sic] Lois Riess then withdraws the funds at the local casino."

The woman was removed as her sister's guardian and conservator in February 2016. Her sister reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder and clinical depression and has a cognitive level of a 10-year-old.

She Was Recently Spotted in Corpus Christi

ABC Local 13 reports that Reiss is believed to have been last spotted in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Video footage from Corpus Christi shows her driving her latest victim's car.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
