Sheila von Wiese-Mack: Bali, Indonesia
Share
Subscribe
Sheila was a Chicago socialite and philanthropist - wealthy, well-connected, and seemingly protected by the world she moved through. But in August of 2014, she was found dead in Bali.
Beaten. Placed inside a suitcase. Left thousands of miles from home. And the person accused of killing her wasn’t a stranger. It was her own daughter.
What followed was a global media storm - a case that forced uncomfortable questions about money, control, mental illness, and the private dynamics of a mother-daughter relationship that outsiders could never fully see. Because this isn’t just a story about a murder abroad. It’s about what can happen behind closed doors - even in lives that look perfect from the outside.
Listen as we dive into Bali, the case of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, and how to stay alive on vacation.
