Just Google mapped it's over 21 hours driving straight through. Would tale longer with stops
. And would imagine they'd process her in and out of some sort of jail facilities for the over nights..

Court docs: Lois Riess was 'distraught, upset' after alleged killing of Pamela Hutchinson
Published 5:59 p.m. ET May 1, 2018 | Updated 6:13 p.m. ET May 1, 2018
[...]
Through timestamps on surveillance footage detectives pieced together their final interactions and the moments after the crime, including 14 minutes when Riess stood at the fourth-floor elevator and was "distraught, upset" and "possibly crying."
Authorities found Hutchinson inside of room 404 at the Marina Village at Snug Harbor on April 9, but detectives believed she was likely killed on April 5 between 7:46 p.m. and 8:34 p.m.
[...]
An employee at the hotel found Hutchinson after checking the room because the water wasn't working properly.
They would have likely found Hutchinson sooner, but an employee told detectives that someone who claimed to be Hutchinson called the front desk April 6 to extend her stay for three days. The employee "could not be sure if the female she spoke to on the phone was actually Pamela or if it was someone else," the document states.
She was in the beginning stages of decomposition and had a gunshot wound in her right chest and back.
The bullet pierced her torso, hitting her heart and aorta. She was lying on top of a pillow that also appeared to be singed by a gunshot. Authorities say Riess placed a towel outside the bathroom door shoved up against the door slit to create a seal.
[...]
She is being held without bond pending a pretrial detention hearing.
She will be in a Lee County courtroom Thursday.

Could mental health be used as defense for accused killer Lois Riess?
Published:May 1, 2018 5:57 PM EDT
Updated:May 1, 2018 6:53 PM EDT

[...]
According to the State Attorney’s Office, Texas officials claim Riess has a psychosis and refused to take medications. But the question now is if that could be use as her defense?
[...]
Wise said most patients see doctors for years, and Riess would have to have seen many if she was on anti-psychotics.
[...]
Riess refused a court-appointed attorney on Tuesday. She is expected to appear back in court on Thursday for a detention hearing.
