Vacation Nightmares | Elly Warren & Heather Mack

As summer draws to a close in the Northern Hemisphere, we are going to discuss two Vacation Nightmare cases in this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast. Australian woman Elly Warren travelled to Africa in 2016 for the trip of a lifetime.  She had been scuba diving with marine biologists and had been swimming with Manta Rays.  One night, towards the end of her vacation, she went to a bar in Tofo Beach, Mozambique for a few drinks and to catch up with friends.  She indicated to the group that she was going to get a drink and she would be back to join them.  When Elly didn’t come back, her friends assumed she had gone back to their hostel.  Elly’s body was found the next morning, outside a public bathroom.  Mozambique officials have given varying stories about how Elly died.  Her family believes she was murdered and an investigation is ongoing to this day.Heather Mack and her mother Sheila had a contentious relationship.  Police were called to their family home on average once a month.  There were allegations of abuse and violence between the pair.  In 2014, Sheila paid for herself and Heather to fly first class to Bali for a vacation.  They checked into luxury hotels, but their relaxation didn’t last long.  Heather stole her mother’s credit card and bought airplane tickets for her boyfriend Tommy to join them in Bali.  When Tommy arrived in Bali, he fought with Sheila and their altercation turned deadly.  Sheila was beaten to death and her body was stuffed in a suitcase.  Heather and Tommy were arrested in connection with her murder and they were incarcerated in Indonesian prisons.  Heather was pregnant at the time of the murder – she gave birth and her baby lived in the squalid jail cell with her for years.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of murdered Australian woman Elly Warren and the case of suitcase murderer Heather Mack. **TIMESTAMP** If you’d like to skip straight to the crime content, please go to (11:18) Read our blogs for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/05/australian-woman-elly-warren-murdered-in-mozambique/https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/05/heather-mack-the-bali-suitcase-murder/We are now on Patreon!  Thank you for your support -  patreon.com/Truecrimesociety
