Sheila von Wiese-Mack was murdered when she took her mixed-race daughter and boyfriend on holiday with her to Bali.

Months before the gruesome murder of her mother on the beautiful island of Bali, Heather Mack apparently had a request for Tommy Schaefer.

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.
