Nearly nine years after the brutal murder of her mother in Indonesia, Heather Mack is set to potentially plead guilty this month to federal charges related to the August 2014 killing of Sheila von Wiese-Mack.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly set a June 15 change-of-plea hearing during a brief phone call with lawyers in Mack's case Thursday. He did so after Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Marie Ursini told him there had been "significant progress toward plea negotiations."
Still, the news means partial closure could be near for an international legal saga that began almost a decade ago. But signs long pointed to a prosecution in the United States if the pair ever returned. U.S. prosecutors accused Schaefer's cousin, Robert Bibbs, of encouraging and advising the couple. He pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy and was sentenced to nine years in prison. He is set to leave custody in February 2025.
They've also recently alleged that Mack covered her mother's mouth with her hand during the killing and later told a Schaefer relative that von Wiese-Mack had to die because Schaefer would have been in even bigger trouble if she survived. They later took a loaded luggage cart to the resort's entrance and placed a large suitcase and other items in the trunk of a taxi before reentering the resort and fleeing the property through another exit. U.S. prosecutors say they have video from the taxi stand of the resort which shows Mack and Schaefer handling a suitcase, covered in sheets, in a cab.
