In a revealing first-person account, Lois admits to killing David, pointing to alleged emotional abuse in the relationship, but is unable to justify her methodical, well-planned crime spree that followed, which included embezzling funds, a second murder of a stranger, identity theft, and a callous, detailed coverup of her crimes. As acclaimed filmmaker Carr (and fellow Minnesotan) delves into the motives and mindset of Riess, and as family members, friends, and witnesses recount their impressions of the likeable grandmother, Carr uncovers a deeply troubled past, an extensive gambling addiction, a strained marriage, and a family rocked by mental illness, suicide, and substance abuse. The series explores criminality and accountability through the mystery of a middle-aged woman who couldn&#8217;t be further from the typical image of a cold-blooded, multiple murderer.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Participants: Lois Riess&#8217;s interview is supported by insight from former friends and neighbors, family members, journalists, an addiction specialist, law enforcement officers, witnesses who encountered Lois before her arrest, and a possible would-be victim.<\/p>\n<p>Episode Descriptions:<\/p>\n<p>Part One<\/p><div id=\"morty-878885302\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Debut date: Tuesday, October 15 (9:00-10:30PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>Lois and David Riess live a seemingly normal life as parents to three children, several grandchildren, and a thriving business in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, until, one day, David&#8217;s dead body is discovered and Lois goes on the run. As Lois, now in prison, recounts her childhood and upbringing, a disturbing psychological portrait emerges of a woman battling many emotional demons. However, Lois&#8217;s methodical behavior after the murder may show the work of a calculated killer when another body is discovered.<\/p>\n<p>Part Two<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Wednesday, October 16 (9:00-10:25PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>After the discovery of Pamela Hutchinson&#8217;s body in Florida, a nationwide manhunt for the &#8220;Killer Grandma&#8221; begins and two weeks later, witnesses recognize Lois in Texas.
