A California woman claiming to be friends with the late Sheila von Wiese-Mack wants custody of Heather Mack's and Tommy Schaefer's daughter.
An Indonesian court found Mack and her boyfriend guilty of killing her mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, who was from Oak Park.Mack is reportedly in prison in Chicago, facing federal charges.The girl's paternal grandmother, Kia Walker, said late last year she would sue to get visitation and permanent guardianship.Mack's daughter, Stella Schaefer, was born just weeks before both her mother and father, Tommy Schaefer, were convicted of the 2014 murder in Bali.
"We like to draw each other," Walker said."The last time I drew her was a couple of months ago. She had extensions in her hair, and I thought that was really fun and funny." Mack and Schaefer now face federal charges of conspiracy to commit murder and obstruction of justice. With Mack back in the United States and once again behind bars, and Schaefer still serving out his sentence in Indonesia, a judge has given temporary care of the little girl to a third party.
