You know, to 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: look at Lois Reese, you would never suspect that this 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: attractive platinum blode is really a serial killer. Statistically, female 5 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: serial killers are few and far between. But has Lois 6 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: Reese proven all the experts wrong? I Nancy Grace, this 7 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: is Killers amongst Us. Take a listen to our friend 8 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: Kate Rattit's CBS Minnesota. On April sixth an employee told 9 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: police Hutchinson or someone that sounded like her called to 10 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: extend her stay by three days. Later that day, Reese 11 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: was captured on video using Hutchinson's information to withdraw five 12 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollars from her bank account. She may look like 13 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: anyone's mother or grandmother. She's an absolute, cold blooded murderer. 14 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: She was seen entering a hotel in Ocala, Florida. Video 15 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: also captured her pulling up to the hotel in Hutchinson's 16 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: white accurate sedan. Hutchinson's body was found in the bathroom 17 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: with gunshot wounds bearing similar characteristics to a twenty two 18 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: caliber handgun. She was also draped with a towel, similar 19 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: to David Reese being covered with a blanket. You are 20 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: hearing our friend Kate Rabbit's talking about the death of 21 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: Pamela Hutchinson found basically her medically sealed in the bathroom 22 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: there at her resort condo and leaving. Caught on video 23 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: surveillance is Lois Reese actually wearing Pam's hat. The two 24 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: met at a local oyster bar. At the bar hit 25 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: it off, and the next thing you know, Hutchinson allows 26 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: her to come home with her. Hudginson never sing alive again. 27 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: Take a listen to Carmen Martino, Lee County Sheriff. On 28 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: April twenty eighteen, the Lee County Sheriff's Office responded to 29 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: a medical assistance call at six four five Old San 30 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: Carlos Boulevard in Fort Myers Beach. Upon arrival, deputies encountered 31 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: the deceased fifty nine year old female, later identified as 32 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: Pamela Hutchinson, who was found to have suffered fatal gunshot wounds. 33 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: The medical examiner determined that Miss Hudsinson was the victim 34 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: of a homicide. The Lee County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes 35 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: Unit responded and assumed the investigation, missus Hudsinson's purse was 36 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: found to be in disarray and all cash, credit cards, 37 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: and identification appeared to be removed. Additionally, the decedent's car 38 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: keys vehicle, a white Accurate TL with a Florida tag 39 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: of Y three to seven TAA, would determine to be 40 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: Further investigation revealed them Miss Hutchinson was targeted by the 41 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: suspect due to the similarities in their appearance. Once again, 42 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: we learn that she's looking for a doppel ganger, someone 43 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: that looks enough like her that she can pass for 44 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: them as she's driving their car or using their credit cards. 45 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: So where is she headed? So we've already heard about 46 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Pam Hutchinson, Pam Hudginson bearing at a pretty striking resemblance 47 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: to Lois Reese. But not just Pam Hutchinson, her longtime 48 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: friend all the way from Minnesota who relocated to Florida. 49 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: Joining me right now, Kellen Thompson k IMT News three, Rochester, Minnesota. 50 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: What do you make of the fact that Lois Reese 51 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: is spotted by her longtime friend from Minnesota who is 52 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: now relocated in Florida. Pretty shocking that those two looked alike? 53 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: As well. Yes, I'm sure she probably thought she's tag 54 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: ghosts that day as far as she was trying to 55 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: get away and was in a little close to her past. 56 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: There we're referring to Tess Coster, who says she froze 57 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: when she realized she was looking right at Lois Reese 58 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: with me an All Star panel. Ashley Wilcott judge, trial lawyer, 59 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: anchor Court TV at Ashley Wilcott dot com, Doctor Angela 60 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Arnold Psychiatrists joining us at the Atlanta Jurisdiction at Angela Arnold, 61 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: MD dot com, Director of the Coldcase Research Insta Chief 62 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: forensics expert Cheryl McCollum, Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville 63 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: State University, author Blood Beneath my Feet on Amazon, and 64 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: star of the new series Poisonous Liaisons on True Crime Network. 65 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Kalen Thompson, you just heard from Ki mt Rochester and 66 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: Amanda Hall, reporter with w i n K TV Fort Myers, Florida. 67 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: So when they found Pam Hutchinson, Amanda Hall that we 68 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: think at this juncture anyway, was the second doppelganger Lois 69 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: Reese had identified first Pam Hutchins first test cost her, 70 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: and then when that didn't work out because test cost her, 71 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: basically hid in her home for the next few days. 72 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: She found Pam Hutchinson. The way that Pam's body was 73 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: found is strikingly similar to the way Lewis Reese's husband, 74 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: David was found. Explained, that's right. She was found in 75 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: the bathroom, covered up with a towel, in the exact 76 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: same manner that Lois left her husband in Minnesota. She 77 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: sealed off the door to the hotel room using a towel, 78 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: closed it behind her, and that's when she left in 79 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: Pam hat in Pam's car and with Pam's credit cards. Yeah, 80 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: the mo is so identical. Both Pam Hudgison and David Reese, 81 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: her husband Lewis Reese's husband found dead in the bathroom floor, 82 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: on the bathroom floor, towel draped over their head, both 83 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: shot with a twenty two, and both times the bathroom 84 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: had basically been sealed off. I guess to avoid the 85 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: stench from escaping. It didn't work. Joe Scott, what do 86 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: you make of that? The purpose of that, as you 87 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: rightly said, was to prevent the odor from coming out 88 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: the door, And this gives us an idea that this 89 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: perpetrator is thinking about this. You know, who in their 90 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: right mind would think to seal off the door. This 91 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: is something that thought has to go into. And you 92 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: know she's using the same weapon many times. You know, 93 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: when people are perpetrators, particularly serial killers like this, you 94 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: think they returned to the same tools over and over again. 95 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: This is a twenty two caliber pistol. Nancy is a 96 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: perfect for this because it's such a small caliber. It 97 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: doesn't make a real loud boom easy to conceal. To you, 98 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Doctor Angela Arnold, you're the psychiatrist. I'm just to try 99 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: a lawyer. Why the same m all the time? I 100 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: just thought about our old pet when I was growing 101 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: up trouble. He would always go lay down the very 102 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: same spot. He would circled three times and then curl 103 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: up in a ball and lay down. Never changed. Why 104 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: why does she use the same m oh? Well, why 105 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: would she change? That? Would that could learn into some 106 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: error on her part? Couldn't. In her mind, this is 107 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: working for her. She's got it planned out the way 108 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: she does. It is working for her. She may be 109 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: a little OCD and and that's why she remains. That's 110 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: why she sticks to the same pattern of behavior. She 111 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: probably has some OCD thoughts going through her head and 112 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: this makes her comfortable she can do it. Get out 113 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: of there and leave well. Now a man hunt is on. 114 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: Take a list of our friends and inside edition. Authorities 115 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: tell me they're now trying to figure out why Lois Reese, 116 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: with no prior criminal record, turned into an alleged cold 117 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: blooded killer this morning, Officials warning she is believed to 118 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: be armed and extremely dangerous this morning, the subject of 119 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: an urgent nationwide men hunt and the suspect in two 120 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: murders more than seventeen hundred miles apart. Police say fifty 121 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: six year old Lois Rees shot her husband David in 122 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: their rural Minnesota home in March, then took off and 123 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: their white Cadillac Escalade soon after, spotted at an Iowa casino. 124 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: US marshals joining the search as Reese allegedly drove to 125 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Fort Myers, Florida. Authorities say she befriended fifty nine year 126 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: old Pamela Hutchinson, a stranger bearing a similar physical appearance, 127 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: before shooting her to death. Authorities releasing these surveillance images 128 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: that they say show Reese leaving Hutchinson's motel.

Wow, what an emo? 131 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: And Ashley Willcott, judge and trial lawyer anchor Court TV. 132 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: She uses the same emo over and over. But she's brazen. 133 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: She's brazen during the manhunt. She's not even trying to 134 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: conceal herself. She spotted at casinos, at hotels, ordering room service, 135 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: renting movies in bed. I mean, and she's using Pam 136 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: Hutchinson's five grand and her car to do the deed. Yeah, 137 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: there's a word I would use for that, except I 138 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: can't say it on Aaron what. I never seeks this 139 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: to amaze me. Nancy when I'm on the bench. She said, 140 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: you've got all kinds of criminals, but there are some 141 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: criminals who are that called that calculated and that um, 142 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, egotistical may not be the right word. However, 143 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: this are going to use the fruits of their crimes 144 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: as if there's they've done nothing wrong, right, It's all good. 145 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: It came off according to my plan, and now I 146 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: have money to spend. I don't get it. Doctor Angela Arnold, 147 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: you're the psychiatrist again. She's got dead bodies, a trail 148 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: of dead bodies, shot multiple times and hidden in bathrooms, 149 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: and she's ordering room service and primetime movies. How well, Nancy, 150 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: none of us understand us because we don't. We don't 151 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: think the way these people do. I'm telling you, at 152 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Nancy, there's there's something wrong 153 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: with her attachment. She doesn't make attachments to these people 154 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: that she's she has, she has a plan, she has 155 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: a goal in mind, and she is not attached to 156 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: people like you and I are. Okay, that's not a 157 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: mental illness. But she didn't form proper attachments when she 158 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: was growing up. So that's why she can step away, 159 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: walk away from it, and be fine with us and 160 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: go on and do it to the next person. Josky Morgan, 161 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: you have investigated well over a thousand death cases. I 162 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: don't know about you, but in all the years I 163 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: prosecute an into this day, but especially then, I was 164 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: thin as a reilm because the cases physically made me 165 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: lose my appetite.
