Shownotes Transcript

Welcome back to this week’s episode of SERIALously! In this episode, we will uncover how lust, greed, and hatred turned a mother-daughter luxury vacation into a nightmare. It all started out in the sun-soaked paradise of Bali. An idyllic setting for a mother-daughter vacation. But what started as an exotic retreat quickly spiraled into a chilling true crime nightmare. Heather Mack, just entering adulthood, her elusive boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, and Sheila von Wiese-Mack, a millionaire heiress and Heather's mother, were unwittingly on the brink of a horrific nightmare. Beneath the surface of this tropical utopia, something more sinister was brewing that nobody expected. Secrets were kept, relationships were strained, and hidden agendas were being pursued, and finally, things came to a boiling point that would send shockwaves across the globe. This is no ordinary vacation gone wrong story - it's a case that haunts everyone that was at the St. Regis Hotel to this day.
