It's a given that any mother-daughter relationship is going to have good days and bad days, ups

and downs throughout their life together. But what would drive a daughter to an agreement?

The young man that she has supposedly fallen in love with, fly down to Bali, a 16-hour flight from

LA. Have that young man enter into a hotel room, pick up a large decorative bowl, and beat that young

woman's mother into oblivion. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan, and this is Body Bags.

Back with me again today is my good friend, Jackie Howard, executive producer of Crime Stories

with Nancy Grace. Jackie, what do we have on this case? As you said, Joe, Heather Mack was serving

a sentence in Bali for her part in the death of her mother. Mack was prosecuted and convicted in

Indonesia over the 2014 killing of Sheila Von Weiss Mack at the St. Regis Bali Resort. After serving

seven of her 10-year sentence, she was expelled from the country upon her release. She was sent

back to the US along with her daughter. Mack was pregnant at the time of this murder. Heather Mack

and her daughter landed at an airport in Chicago at Tahoe Hair International, and at that moment she

was arrested by the FBI on charges of conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, conspiracy to commit

a foreign murder of a US national and obstruction. Now, Heather Mack has pleaded not guilty to all of

those charges. But, Joe, as you mentioned going in, the relationship between Heather Mack and her

mother was contentious to say the least. We do know that in her younger days, the relationship

between Heather and her mother was very volatile. Police were called to their home more than 80 times.

In fact, we know that according to statements made to the police, Sheila would say that Heather would

hit her and bite her. She even pushed her in the bathroom so hard one time that Sheila fell and

broke her arm. What kind of damage is that going to do, Joe? Are injuries like that?

Bumps and bruises, are they going to leave any lasting images, obviously, to broken bone wood?

You know, over a period of time, people are subjected to ongoing abuse and make no mistake.
