From nbc-2.com:
A woman wanted for a murder in Minnesota is also connected to the murder on Fort Myers Beach earlier this week and the woman is on the run.
Police in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, are searching for Lois Riess, 65, who is accused of killing her husband, David Riess. He was found shot and killed late last month. Dodge County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for her arrest for second-degree murder Thursday.
US Marshals shifted their search to Florida this week after Riess was named a person of interest in a murder on Fort Myers Beach murder that happened Monday night.
Minnesota police believe Riess could be using the name Pamela Sellers Hutchinson. Sources confirm to us that Hutchinson is the victim of this week's murder at Marina Village at Snug Harbor on Old San Carlos Boulevard.
Dodge County investigators believe Riess is driving a stolen white 2005 Acura TL with Florida license plate Y37TAA. They also say Riess is believed to be armed and dangerous.
David Riess was supposed to go on a fishing trip. When he didn't show up, a friend contacted police. Riess was found shot multiple times in his home in Blooming Prairie.
Lois Riess is also accused of taking $10,000 from her husband's business account and transferring the money into David's personal account. Authorities said Lois Riess then forged her husband's signature on three checks written from his personal account to herself, totaling $11,000.
Riess doesn’t have check-writing authority for either account.

Thoughts? I can't find much on the Florida case at the moment other than it was at a luxury condo and a witness and guest claim it was a female victim who passed away, but police have not confirmed that information. What's crazy about this story is we rarely have female fugitives on this site wanted for murder, let alone possibly TWO MURDERS.
In any case, I'm adding Riess as a breaking news fugitive since I'm concerned if she's connected to two murders already, then she could have the potential to unfortunately allegedly kill again. Not to mention the solid leads in Florida could help if this gets enough publicity.
