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.

Man, I’d PAY to see a Nazi killin’ granny do the chicken dance! My grandma used to get frisky when she drank but Mom would always hustle us youngsters off to bed so I don’t know if she danced or not. I did hear some stories about her doing a little horizontal tango out in the barn in her younger days. Never killed no Nazis though :(

Yep. The only time I MIGHT play at a casino is when I have a raft of pennies I don’t feel like taking to the bank.
My post wasn’t really directed at you personally. I was just sort of making fun of how sensitive liberals are and make an issue out of just about anything.
Way back when, my psyche professor said that the best method for reinforcing a habit is to provide random and varying rewards.....exactly what the slots do.
Paulie, so was I. ;)
“This sounds like the plot of a Lifetime movie.”
