Likable grandmother Lois Riess shocked her small Minnesota town when she killed her husband, David, and went on the run from the authorities. Six years later, Lois sits down to tell her story for the first time, attempting to explain her actions and revealing a disturbing family history and a gambling addiction. I’m Not a Monster: The Lois Riess Murders examines the unorthodox killer and her well-planned crime spree — from embezzling funds to the murder of a stranger to identity theft — while chronicling the enduring effects of familial dysfunction and mental health strains on her psyche.
