You cannot simply enter Mexico anymore.

If you’re a U.S. citizen, you can’t just present a driver’s license at the border of Mexico anymore. If you’re driving or cruising, however, a passport isn’t your only option.

Travelers visiting Mexico by way of land or sea crossings can apply for a wallet-sized passport card, or PASS Card. It’s less expensive than a passport book, and more portable. Best of all, they’re compliant new Homeland Security measures and are also suitable for trips by land or by sea to Canada and the Caribbean. The same applies for a closed-loop cruise that originates and concludes at the same U.S. port, and visits destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean.

[h=1]The audacity of stealing a dead person's hat — Pamela Hutchinson's cousin says Lois Riess 'will meet her maker'[/h]

Pamela Hutchinson was a hat person.

Her cousin, Tabitha Lohr Stoops, remembers the 59-year-old wearing them on outings — in particular, a white woman’s boater hat with a black ribbon around it.

But now surveillance video shows the hat sitting on the head of the woman authorities say likely killed Hutchinson. The footage of Lois Ann Riess at an Ocala hotel April 6 shows the woman waiting at a counter with a hat like the one Hutchinson owned.

“When I saw the hat, I just broke down because this was one of Pam’s prized possessions,” said Lohr Stoops, of North Carolina. “This was one of her favorites, and she wore it many times.

“For me to see this vile woman wearing my cousin’s hat after she murdered her was heartbreaking.”

Hutchinson was found April 9 in Room 404 at the Marine Village where she had planned to stay until at least Wednesday before deciding to stay an extra day.
By that time, according to the Sheriff’s Office timeline, Riess was long gone. Investigators tracked her to Refugio, Texas, driving Hutchinson’s stolen white 2005 Acura TL. Refugio is a small town about 40 miles north of Corpus Christi.
It’s unclear how or when Riess befriended Hutchinson, but the two were captured together on surveillance footage during daylight hours on April 5 drinking at the Smokin Oyster Brewery on Old San Carlos Boulevard, a short walk from the hotel.
Reid Freeman, the executive chef at the restaurant, said he believed they were there between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. and ran up a tab between $50 and $60.

“It was all in cash,” Freeman said.

Her whereabouts next came into focus at a Hilton Hotel in the Ocala area. Video from the hotel shows her pulling up in Hutchinson's Acura, walking through the lobby and up to the registration desk. The Sheriff's Office said Riess stayed at the hotel on April 6 and 7.
Pretending to be Hutchinson, Riess checked into a room and then withdrew $500 via an Ocala bank from Hutchinson’s account, authorities said.
The Acura was seen traveling west through Louisiana. An attempt to get $200 at a Louisiana gas station failed, authorities said.
Authorities are concerned Riess could flee to Mexico because of her stop in Texas. Refugio is a few hours from the Mexican border.


"Mexican authorities are aware at the border," said Tony Schall, a spokesman for the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

"She would have to show ID," he said, and investigators have issued an alert for Hutchinson's ID.



Even with the alert, Schall said there was not 100 percent certainty she would be detained if she tried to cross the border.

John Kinsey, deputy U.S. marshal in Florida, confirmed that billboards are going up in Texas, New Mexico, California and Arizona in hopes of generating tips.

"We don't know when or where," Kinsey said. "But there is a template."


Sightings of Riess have been reported but not confirmed.

The Lee Sheriff's Office said there was no confirmation in one such case, that of a woman who robbed a bank in Pasadena, California, on Saturday. That woman was described as having gray hair, 50 to 60 years old, around 6 feet* tall and 180 pounds. Riess is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 164 pounds with brown eyes and was last seen with light blond hair.

Kinsey said there was "zero" chance the Pasadena robber was Riess.

What happened to murder suspect and fugitive Lois Riess? Her neighbors ‘want answers’
BLOOMING PRAIRIE, Minn. — Most everyone in this southern Minnesota prairie town of 2,000 people is talking about Lois Riess. But nobody seems to know quite what to make of her.
Day care provider or gambling addict? Loving wife, mother and grandmother or cold-blooded criminal who allegedly killed her husband and left his body to rot, then shot a woman in the heart half a continent away and stole her identity?
Riess, on the run from the law for more than three weeks, may well be all those things. But here in Blooming Prairie, a small town 90 miles south of the Twin Cities where Lois and David Riess had lived since 2005, people are trying to make sense of it all.
[...]
While fleeing Minnesota in the family’s Cadillac Escalade, Riess is believed to have stopped at an Iowa casino on the way to Florida.
The Diamond Jo Casino is just over the Iowa border off Interstate 35, an easy 45-minute drive from Blooming Prairie.
[...]
Lois Riess spent countless hours here in the gloom. Blackjack was her game, and she allegedly dropped thousands of dollars at the tables.
“Lois? She was a nice lady,” said a casino employee who knew Riess as a regular. “She liked to play blackjack.”

The newly released surveillance videos show Riess walking away from the Marina Village in Fort Meyers Beach soon after she allegedly killed Hutchinson.

Another video captured Riess driving away from the hotel in Hutchinson's 2005 white Acura TL.

Riess was also spotted on CCTV cameras driving up to a Hilton hotel in Ocala before calmly walking through the lobby wearing her victim's hat.

 

[Really?]

I think she is a bit more than 165 lbs.....just sayin

 

[razzledazzle]

I just saw this. CRAZY! My goodness....

 

[StephanieH]

I am glad I am not a huge fan of casinos. I am also glad I am not all that friendly in real life. If someone came up and started talking to me, I would leave. LOL

ETA: I generally figure if a stranger comes up to me and starts talking, they want something from me--either to "borrow" money or sell me Amway.

 

[StephanieH]

She is wearing her victim's hat in the security footage at the Hilton. I wonder if that helps her "become" Pamela? Or if she finds some sort of pleasure in wearing the victim's hat?

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office released surveillance images tracking the whereabouts of Riess, who was last known to be in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Hutchinson, authorities said, is Riess’ second victim. They believe she shot and killed her husband, who was found March 23 in their rural Minnesota home, and used the same gun to kill Hutchinson in her room at a condominium at the Marina Village at Snug Harbor on Fort Myers Beach.

On Wednesday they released details of Riess’ movements on Fort Myers Beach and on her way out of the Sunshine State.

Wow...that's sickening. First thing she does after killing an innocent woman in cold blood, is to head for a casino.

Wonder how much she won.....might buy her a little time but this sicko will be found through her addiction.
