The Lee County Sheriff’s Office released footage on April 18 showing a woman suspected of killing two people checking into a hotel in Florida, shortly after the second killing took place.
The footage, police say, shows 56-year-old Lois Riess of Bloomberg Prairie in Minnesota walking through a car park and into reception at the Hilton Hotel in Ocala, Florida.
Police were asking for assistance finding Riess, who was wanted on suspicion of killing her husband David Riess in Minnesota on March 23, as well as the killing of a woman, Pamela Hutchinson, in Florida on April 9 who police say may Reiss may have targeted in order to assume her identity.
Police previously released footage showing Riess talking to Hutchinson at a bar.
A nationwide search for Riess was underway, police said. Undersheriff Carmine Marceno of Lee County, Florida, said Riess should be considered armed and dangerous. Credit: Lee County Sheriff’s Office via Storyful
