Mixed-Race Daughter Asked Black Boyfriend to Kill White Mother
Chicago Sun Times
September 5, 2015
Months before the gruesome murder of her mother on the beautiful island of Bali, Heather Mack apparently had a request for Tommy Schaefer.
So the troubled Chicago teenager sent her boyfriend a Facebook note riddled with grammatical errors on May 26, 2014, records show….
It began simply: “Can you not tell people i asked you to kill my mom.”
“Cause i was so f—ed up tommy and i really didnt mean it,” it read. “Ive been regretting ever saying that so much and ive paid for it, shes almpst died like 5 times and ive been so petrified and scared.”
That dispatch — typos and all — is contained in a document that reveals the Aug. 12, 2014, murder of Sheila von Wiese-Mack prompted a federal investigation into the foreign murder of a United States national and the conspiracy around it.
Now unsealed and obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times, the record also sheds some new light on the case. The slaying of the 62-year-old Chicagoan generated international headlines after her body was discovered in a bloody suitcase left in the trunk of a taxi outside the St. Regis Bali Resort.
