Summary

In August 2014, 19 year old Heather Mack was on vacation with her mother, Sheila von Weise in Bali, Indonesia. Little did Sheila know, Heather had purchased her boyfriend, 21 year old Tommy Schaefer, a plane ticket to Bali. When Schaefer arrived, the couple executed a plan they had been concocting: they were going to kill Heather’s mother to get her inheritance. After brutally murdering Sheila, they placed her body in a suitcase to try to conceal the crime, leading to this becoming infamously known as the Bali Suitcase Murder. Click here to join our Patreon.
