Heather Mack Admits Stuffing Mom’s Body Into Bali Suitcase, Boyfriend Confesses – Police Claim

Is the gruesome Bali suitcase murder investigation open and shut? RadarOnline.com has learned that Indonesian police now claim pregnant Heather Mack has confessed to helping her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer stuff her mother’s body into a suitcase -- while he’s admitted to killing the wealthy widow.

According to Police chief Col. Djoko Heru Utomo, Schaefer, 21, confessed during an interrogation on Monday that he’d killed Sheila Von Wiese-Mack, 62, after an argument.

And Utomo claimed Mack, 19, told all in a separate police interview this week about assisting Schaefer in disposing of von Wiese-Mack’s body.

However, Schaefer and Mack (who is two months pregnant with a baby believed to be her boyfriend’s) have not yet been charged.

Mack and Schaefer were arrested on August 13, one day after Indonesian police found Von Wiese-Mack’s bloody, butchered body stuffed inside a suitcase in a taxi cab outside a luxury Bali hotel.

According to investigators, the two had allegedly taken the suitcase down to the cab outside the St. Regis Hotel.

Mack and Schaefer reportedly then left, claiming they would be back. But soon, the cab driver saw blood seeping from the suitcase and alerted the police.

Authorities discovered Chicago academic Von Wiese-Mack’s half-naked body inside the suitcase. An autopsy found she had died of asphyxiation after being hit in the face repeatedly with a blunt object.

The young couple told police that Mack’s mother was killed by robbers, while they managed to escape. But security camera video reportedly showed that Von Wiese-Mack had an argument with Schaefer in the hotel lobby before the murder.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, money issues might have been an issue between von Wiese-Mack and her daughter, as it’s been reported that the mother successfully petitioned a Chicago court for a $500,000 judgment in 2012 after Heather’s father died, despite his will naming the girl as the “sole beneficiary” of his assets.

Earlier, Mack and Schaefer’s appointed Indonesian lawyer, Haposan Sihombing, said the two were under a suicide watch, but he has not commented on the police’s new claim about their confessions.

Their Chicago-based American attorney Michael Elkin has alleged that Mack was sexually assaulted by police while in jail.
