Before Bali: The Untold Story of Sheila von Wiese-Mack
About this episode
This episode explores the murder of Sheila von Wiese Mack through insights from retired Sergeant Rasul T. Freelon, who details the escalating violence leading up to the tragedy.
In this episode of Once Upon a Crime, we revisits the murder of Sheila von Wiese Mack through the new book When Lambs Become Wolves by retired Sergeant Rasul T. Freelon, who knew Sheila and her daughter Heather years before the Bali killing. Freelon recounts how a 2010 theft report led to repeated police contact, revealing escalating child-to-parent violence: Heather’s manipulation, financial fraud, and assaults that included breaking Sheila’s arm and later a brutal attack. Despite diversion programs, mentoring, probation, and numerous calls for service, Sheila often refused to press charges, focused on saving her family, and ultimately told Freelon, “She’s going to kill me.” When Lambs Become Wolfs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0809339943?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Resorting to Murder: The Body in the Suitcase: https://art19.com/shows/once-upon-a-crime/episodes/eef34649-e83a-47cb-a960-5403629b2295 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
