You could almost forget that Heather Mack and Tommy Schaefer are suspected murderers when looking at their cheerful “reunion” photos that started appearing when the couple got to meet during a prison transfer.
Six-months pregnant with Schaefer’s baby, Mack was full of smiles when undergoing administrative processes in Denpasar yesterday, reports Tribun Bali. The local newspaper even remarked how she looked fitter than ever compared to when she was arrested with whiter skin and long hair (fit by Indonesian standards).
Mack and Schaefer have reportedly been held in separate cells since their arrest in August 2014 for the suspected murder of Mack’s mother, Chicago socialite Sheila von Wiese-Mack in her St. Regis suite in Bali. After von Wiese-Mack was murdered, her body was stuffed inside a suitcase that the couple allegedly tried to ditch behind in a taxi.
Following the couple’s arrest, Mack has reportedly been going for monthly checkups at RS. Trijata for her pregnancy and says that everything is normal with her baby’s health.
Back to that point about forgetting the two are alleged murderers: the couple was joking around with media yesterday when they cheerfully revealed their future daughter’s name. Schaefer said it will be Stella after his grandmother. We just have to cringe thinking about that dark day when Stella will learn what happened to her own grandmother on her mom’s side.
Making fun of media reports that said the couple complained about KFC fed to them in prison, Mack reportedly told the press yesterday that she would live in Indonesia when the case is over because she loves “fried rice, rice fields, and no more KFC,” according to Tribun Bali.
