"The badly battered body of von Wiese-Mack, a 62-year-old wealthy Chicago socialite, was found in the boot of a taxi parked at the upmarket St Regis Bali resort in August 2014. Mack, who was almost 19 and a few weeks pregnant at the time of the killing, and Schaefer, 21 at the time, were arrested on the island a day after the body was found."
"Tommy Schaefer was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the 2014 murder of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, the mother of Heather Mack, during a luxury holiday in a case that became known as the Bali suitcase murder. Schafer was deported to the US from Bali on Tuesday evening after serving his sentence and receiving a number of remissions for good behaviour."
"Mack served seven years of a 10-year prison sentence in Bali for helping to kill her mother and was deported in October 2021. She was sentenced to 26 years in prison in Chicago in January 2024 after she pleaded guilty to helping kill her mother and stuffing the body in a suitcase."
