The woman wanted in an alleged multistate crime spree has been captured in southern Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Lois Riess, 56, was the focus of a nationwide hunt after she allegedly shot and killed her husband in Minnesota, before killing and stealing the identity of a Florida woman who looked like her.
U.S. Marshals deputies and local police arrested Riess around 8:30 p.m. local time on South Padre Island, Texas, according to U.S. Marshals Service spokesman John Kinsey. The South Padre Island Police Department had received a tip from a resident who recognized Riess.
Riess was sitting alone at a restaurant when authorities approached her and didn't appear to be surprised, Kinsey said. She was taken into custody without incident.
There's no indication Riess was trying to cross into Mexico, despite being so close to the border.
"This case from the very beginning struck at me as odd," Florida's Lee County Undersheriff Carmine Marceno told reporters Friday morning during a joint press conference with the U.S. Marshals Service. "We look at her appearance -- she looks like anybody’s mother or grandmother, yet she’s an absolute cold-blooded murderer."

There, she met 59-year-old Pamela Hutchinson and then allegedly killed her and stole her ID, credit cards and car, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida.
Authorities had feared Lois Riess would continue targeting women who look like her.
