Cliffside Betrayal: Dr Gerhardt Konig’s Deadly Plot
About this episode
The episode recounts the violent attack by Dr. Gerhardt Konig on his wife during a birthday hike, leading to a dramatic trial.
Dr. Gerhardt Konig was a respected Maui anesthesiologist living the island dream — until jealousy over his wife Arielle’s suspected emotional affair turned him into a violent attacker. On March 24, 2025, what was supposed to be a romantic birthday hike for Arielle on Oahu’s scenic but treacherous Pali Puka Trail became a nightmare. Prosecutors say Konig planned the assault: he allegedly tried to shove her off a cliff, jabbed at her with a syringe, and then savagely beat her head with a jagged lava rock. Arielle fought desperately for her life as blood soaked the trail… until two hikers heard her screams and interrupted the horror. What followed was a full-scale manhunt, a chilling FaceTime confession to his own son, graphic bodycam footage, and a high-profile Honolulu trial filled with explosive testimony. Konig claimed the attack stemmed from self defense. From trusted healer to convicted attacker — this is a story of betrayal, obsession, and survival that proves even paradise can hide pure evil. Tune in for every chilling detail, the full courtroom drama, and the questions everyone is still asking. This one will leave you speechless. Timestamps 00:28 A Dream Hike Turns…
