The Murders of Lois Riess

*** Next week we have a scheduled week off (September 29, 2020) but we can’t wait to be back the following week (October 6, 2020), with a brand new episode!***

Today’s story is about a very unusual and truly shocking crime committed by the type of person you’d least likely expect, and that’s because the culprit was previously known as being a bubbly, fun-loving grandma to several young grandchildren.
