After a Chicago heiress had been arrested for killing and stuffing her mother's lifeless body in a blood-stained suitcase, authorities further examine 86 reports of unrest in their Chicago home prior to the incident.
Sheila von Wiese-Mack, a wealthy socialite, lived with her daughter in 600 Block Linden, in Oak Park.

In light of the mother's grisly death, authorities uncovered records that Chicago local police had to intervene with mother-daughter fights numerous times in the suburban home from 2004 to June 2013.
Oak Park Village spokesperson David Powers told Mail Online that majority of the reports from the Mack household were about a missing person while others include theft and domestic violence.
In January 2010, the 62-year-old socialite mom accused her daughter of punching her already-broken ankle during an argument about household chores.
A year after, Wiese-Mack broke her right arm after Heather reportedly pushed her on the chest and knocked her down on the floor.
In another report, Heather allegedly locked her mother in a room to prevent her from calling 911, continuously threatening to hurt her if she disobeyed.
Two years after, a bite mark was seen in her wrist after Heather allegedly bit her during another fight.
However, every time police tried to arrest her daughter for domestic abuse, Wiese-Mack constantly refused. She said she did not want her daughter, now a suspect for killing her, to go to jail.
She said Heather was suffering from severe depression and has struggled when she became a key witness to a wrongful lawsuit after her father's death in 2006.
Records show that Mack was hospitalized several times after hurting herself during some of her fits that had led her to break things in the house.
Now, police have her daughter in custody and faces a possibility of capital punishment via firing squad if proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt of Wiese-Mack's murder.
Autopsy reports stated that the 62-year-old socialite died of asphyxiation from a broken nose she had acquired from a blunt force.
