Sorry Niner, haven’t been on the board for awhile and missed your post. I have not seen anything regarding any new court dates for HM. Probably won’t prior to the start of her trial unless she stirs up some more controversy with her sketchy attorney.@Kamille - just going thru some oldies - and wondering if there might be a court hearing date yet?
TIA!

And thank you for the update!
A little news came out today. There has been 12 days of testimony in a custody hearing for Stella and the judge has ruled that she will remain in her current arrangement with the cousin from Colorado. OS was no longer an option due to a “residency issue” so I guess she’s finally realized that she is not going to be able to raise Stella.LOL!
No need to be sorry - real life happens!
Who did Mack want her child to be with? And where is OS now?A little news came out today.

Cousin retains custody of Heather Mack's daughter as convicted killer awaits trial in Chicago
Convicted killer Heather Mack's daughter will remain in the custody of family in Colorado, a judge ruled Tuesday.abc7chicago.com

i don't know. Debbie's daughter is Stella's first cousin, so I don't necessarily agree about Kia being a closer relative. We don't know what kind of relationship Debbie's daughter has with Kia. She hasn't come out and said that she's cutting Kia off.
Actually, Debbie’s daughter is HM’s first cousin and she would be Stella’s first cousin once removed. Kia is Stella’s paternal grandmother and should be allowed to be in her life in some way considering that even HM is likely still communicating with Stella. I don’t know what has been happening in the courtroom with regards to Kia however so I suppose it would be Stella’s therapist who would determine if she should have contact with her. I can imagine Kia’s frustration with all of this and her ongoing worry about her son’s situation but I hope she hasn’t burned any bridges with regards to having contact with her granddaughter.

So in this article she's admitting to Kia that she recruited Tommy to kill Sheila for her.Feds reveal Heather Mack texts in ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ killing of her Oak Park mom at Bali resort: ‘Im sneaky … Im smart … and I watch’
The newly released messages between the Chicago area resident and her boyfriend come as she faces trial July 31, accused of plotting to kill her mother, whose body was found in a suitcase at a posh resort in 2014.
April 15, 2023
The day Heather Mack and her mother Sheila von Wiese-Mack went to O’Hare Airport for a trip to Bali in August 2014, Mack, then 18, was trading text messages with her 21-year-old boyfriend, according to a new court filing in the murder conspiracy case.
In documents filed late Friday in Chicago, federal prosecutors say he told her, “I can’t wait to be rich … Its crazy af Like Money Nothing rules the world.”
They say Mack responded to boyfriend Tommy Schaefer the next day, saying, “Keep your head up … Trips going as planned baby … faith.”
Schaefer replied, the filing shows, that he had “a lot of faith” in Mack, but she didn’t know “that a lot of things aren’t in her control.”

Though Mack and Schaefer were tried and convicted in Indonesia in 2015, their fate is still unclear. Mack was deported from Indonesia in 2021 after serving seven years there for assisting with her mother’s killing.
She now faces another trial over her mother’s death, this time in federal court in Chicago, ahead of which she’s being held downtown at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

The 36-page document that prosecutors filed in Chicago Friday night in the nearly decade-old case contains excerpts of a transcript of a recorded conversation between Mack and a relative of Schaefer identified only as “K.W.” It says the recording wasn’t made at the prompting of law enforcement officials. Prosecutors said they only learned later that it existed.
