I’m Not A Monster: The Lois Riess Murders is directed and produced by Erin Lee Carr. The documentary is an examination of an unorthodox killer and a chronicle of the enduring effects of familial dysfunction and mental health strains on a person’s psyche. It is executive produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Meredith Kaulfers, Ted Schillinger, John Rosengren, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, and Sara Rodriguez, with Isabel Evan serving as a producer. It is produced by HBO Documentary Films, Imagine Documentaries, and Carr Lot Productions.
“In 2018, a small-town murder in Minnesota shocks a community when 56-year-old wife, mother, and grandmother Lois Riess kills her husband David and goes on the run from the authorities,” reads the synopsis. “Years later, Lois sits down with the filmmakers telling her story for the first time. Lois herself attempts to explain her reprehensible actions which reveals a disturbing family history and an addiction to gambling. The series explores criminality and accountability through the mystery of a middle-aged woman who couldn’t be further from the typical image of a cold-blooded, multiple murderer.”
