The murder of von Wiese-Mack, 62, made headlines around the world. Relatives said the widow of acclaimed composer James L. Mack had brought their then-teenage daughter to the tropical island in an effort to mend their troubled relationship. Instead, unbeknown to the victim, her daughter’s boyfriend showed up late in the vacation, about eight hours before the murder.
