Heather Mack confesses in YouTube video
Heather Mack posted three videos apparently confessing to killing her mother.

Heather Mack gave an apparent confession via recently posted YouTube videos in the murder of her mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, in Bali in 2014.

Mack, who grew up in Oak Park but lived in Chicago, claims in the videos that she alone killed her mother while on vacation. Von Weise-Mack's body was found stuffed in a suitcase.

Mack and her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer are in prison for the murder.

In the videos, posted Feb. 2, 2017, she says he took part in the attempted cover-up but not the murder itself.

Mack also claimed that her mother killed her father years earlier and that's why she murdered her mother.
