Overview

In ""The Bali Suitcase Murder Case: Heather Mack, Tommy Schaefer, and the Trust Fund Conspiracy in a Vacation Homicide,"" the book examines the 2014 murder of Sheila von Wiese-Mack by her daughter Heather Mack and Tommy Schaefer during a vacation in Bali, Indonesia. It traces the case from the family's background and financial motives to the execution of the crime, investigation, trial, incarceration, and subsequent U.S. federal proceedings. The book details the conspiracy driven by a $1.5 million trust fund, the brutal attack in a luxury hotel suite, the disposal of the body in a suitcase left in a taxi, and the arrests following the discovery. It covers the Indonesian court's sentencing-18 years for Schaefer and 10 years for Mack-along with their early releases due to good behavior, deportations, and Mack's 26-year U.S. prison term after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges. The book also addresses Schaefer's pending federal indictments upon his 2025 deportation and explores lingering legal and familial implications.
