Socialite in the Suitcase: The Murder of Sheila Von Wiese
On August 2, 2014, Sheila Von Wiese and her daughter, Heather, flew first class to Bali, Indonesia, where they stayed at the St. Regis Hotel, a luxury five star resort. But their time in paradise came to an abrupt and tragic end when the body of Sheila was found stuffed in a suitcase. This discovery would kickstart a multi-continent investigation, complete with deportations, FBI involvement, and the threat of death by firing squad. Ultimately, 3 people would be charged for their involvement in Sheila’s murder.
