I'm Not A Monster: The Lois Riess Murders

Directed by filmmaker Erin Lee Carr (HBO's The Ringleader), this two-part documentary delves into the motives and mindset of Lois Riess, a 56-year-old Minnesotan grandmother who went on the run after murdering her husband David Riess in 2018. Years later, in a revealing first-hand account, Lois admits to killing David, pointing to mental health struggles and alleged emotional abuse in the relationship, but remains unable to justify the well-planned crime spree that followed – which included embezzlement, a second murder, identity theft, and a detailed coverup of her crimes. Featuring candid interviews with family members, friends, and witnesses, I'm Not a Monster: The Lois Riess Murders explores criminality and accountability through the mystery of a middle-aged woman who couldn't be further from the typical image of a cold-blooded, multiple murderer.more
