A nationwide manhunt is underway for a grandmother known as "Losing Streak Lois" to authorities, who believe she killed her husband last month in Minnesota, then killed a woman in Florida, likely in a bid to steal her identity.

Lois Riess, 56, of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, was last seen Sunday, about 50 miles from Corpus Christi, Texas, heading south on Highway 77, Deputy US Marshal John Kinsey told CNN.

She is known to have a gambling addiction and often frequents casinos, which accounts for her nickname among local police, according to the US Marshals Service. Riess allegedly killed her husband in March, then fled to Lee County, Florida, where she is believed to have fatally shot Pamela Hutchinson, 59, sometime between April 5 and April 9 in a condo on Fort Myers Beach, according to Kinsey and a marshals service news release. The body of her husband, David Riess, was found March 23, Kinsey said.

Pray this doesn't become a trend by male and female identity thieves!!!!

This sounds like the plot of a Lifetime movie.

She killed a woman?

Well, then something has to be done.

Identity theft murder is already a trend;

Had to post an excerpt. It really is a horrible case - she’s still on the loose. Killed the woman to assume her identity. Read and watch at the link;).

A gambler.

I went to an animal park that had a chicken who played the piano. He was in a machine that looked like the old game machines. You put in a quarter and the lights flashed and some music played and the chicken came out. As soon as he pecked at the keys on the little piano, some chicken feed dropped into his bowl. He ate it and went back behind the curtain.

I see lots of people at the casinos behaving like that chicken.

They put some money in a machine, the lights flash and the music plays.

They keep putting money into the machine until they get some chicken feed.

-—A nationwide manhunt is underway for a grandmother...-—

Shouldn’t it be a ‘womanhunt’ if they’re looking for a woman? Sounds sexist to me!

[tflabo]

She’s toast soon to pop up— in this life and the next.

[Yo-Yo]

Thank you, but it should be ‘personhunt.’

I’ve been triggered by the blatant gender-assumptions.

LOL saw one of those years ago but not sure where. Traveled Route 66 a lot and they had a lot a weird shops along the hiway could have been there. See the comparrison

Paying to watch the lights flash and hear the music play - or - paying to watch the chicken... Help me out here, I'm not seeing much of a difference :)

[newfreep]

She looks like a happy granny...

[blueunicorn6]

That’s some of the finest chicken dancing I’ve ever seen.

Well, Garth, I believe that is called Operant Conditioning.

B.F. Skinner was famous for it.

The casinos are masters of it.

[Garth Tater]

That chicken do have skillz!

I hear granny has a few skills of her own. Or would that be kills?

[Garth Tater]

They put SKinner to shame! The saps walk out with empty pockets and SMILES on their faces.

My Grandma claimed she killed 20 Nazis during the war.

Maybe she was talking about chickens. She drank some.

[Garth Tater]

But could she dance?!!

[blueunicorn6]

“Could she dance?”

Like a ballerina.

A ballerina gutting Nazis.....or chickens.

I see lots of people at the casinos Free Republic behaving like that chicken.

They put some money in a machine, post a comment the lights flash someone responds and the music plays.
