Woman Whose Body Was Found in Suitcase Was Warned Not to Go to Bali
Chicago widow Sheila von Wiese-Mack had traded in her Starwood travel points to go on vacation halfway around the world to the elegant and popular St. Regis Bali Resort in Indonesia. She took her 19-year-old daughter, Heather, as she had on every flykt, friends said.
But the pair had their tempestuous moments, and those same friends begged von Wiese-Mack not to travel with her daughter this time.
“She overindulged the child,” Mark Bacharach, a close friend for a quarter-century, told NBC News.
The mother and daughter arrived Saturday for their 10-day-plus trip. On Tuesday, von Wiese-Mack’s half-naked body was found stuffed inside of a suitcase that had been left in the trunk of a taxi parked in front of the hotel, police said Wednesday.
Now, Heather Mack and her 21-year-old boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, who checked into the hotel Monday, have been detained in the grisly murder. No charges have been filed.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Prosecutors have asked a federal judge to sentence Heather Mack to 28 years in prison for her role in the grisly murder of her mother in Bali in 2014.
Mack has already served 7 years in prison in Indonesia for her mother's murder, but after she completed her sentence overseas and was deported to the U.S., she was arrested when she returned to Chicago in 2021 on an indictment charging her with conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
In June, Mack pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill a U.S. national, and her sentencing hearing has been set for Jan. 17.
In a sentencing recommendation filed on Wednesday, federal prosecutors sought an additional 28 years in prison for Mack, arguing she plotted to kill her mother, Sheila Von Wiese-Mack, "after inflicting years of physical, emotional and financial abuse" on her, so that she and her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, could access more than $1 million from von Wiese-Mack's estate.
