Pamela Hutchinson, a 59-year-old woman from Bradenton, Florida, was found dead on April 9, 2018, inside a timeshare unit at Marina Village at Snug Harbor on Fort Myers Beach. She had arrived on April 3 to help a friend scatter her husband’s ashes on Sanibel Island and was staying in room 404. A hotel employee discovered her body; she had been shot in the back and chest, with wounds to the heart and aorta that killed her instantly. The body showed early decomposition and a pillow beneath her appeared seared by a gunshot.

Investigators ruled Pamela’s death a homicide. Her belongings were left scattered, her purse turned inside out, and her ID, bank cards, jewelry, and car were missing. Surveillance shows Pamela met another guest, 58-year-old Lois Riess of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, on April 4; the women were recorded together several times, including shared meals. On the evening of April 5, Riess was seen leaving Pamela’s room alone and appearing distraught.

Would anyone with knowledge of Pamela’s travels in early April 2018 or who saw either woman at Marina Village come forward with information?
