The FBI might arrest Heather Mack, who served seven years in an Indonesian prison for aiding in the 2014 murder of her mother, upon her expected return to the U.S. Wednesday, her attorney says.
One of Mack’s U.S.-based attorneys, Brian Claypool, tells Fox News Digital he participated in an emergency custody hearing Tuesday to prevent federal agents from separating Mack from her 6-year-old daughter, Stella, at the airport. He is fighting to at least allow the child to stay with Oshar Putu Melody Suartama, an Australian woman married to a Balinese man who has acted as Stella’s foster mother for the past five years while Mack was still incarcerated.
Mack’s legal team convinced a Cook County judge Tuesday to have Stella placed in the temporary custody of a private citizen of their choosing should Mack be taken into custody,reported. Claypool told Fox News Digital he had a plan in place until a few days ago to have Heather, Oshar and Stella stay in Los Angeles with a woman by the name of Diana Laroque as Stella would continue virtual learning at the school she attended while living in Indonesia.
The body of von Wiese-Mack, 62, was found inside the trunk of a taxi parked at the upscale St. Regis Bali Resort on the touristy Indonesian island in August 2014. Heather Mack, who was almost 19 and a few weeks pregnant, and her then-21-year-old boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, were arrested a day later after they were found at a lower-scale hotel about 6 miles from the St. Regis.
"She's going to fight in court to see that she's able to spend time with Stella and to be an important part of her life as any grandparent would want," Walker's attorney, Mike Goldberg, told Fox 32.
