Nobody Can Hear You: Arielle Konig

About this episode

Arielle Konig shares her harrowing survival story after her husband planned a dangerous birthday hike.

She survived a birthday hike that her husband spent weeks planning to make sure she wouldn't. On March 24, 2025, Arielle Konig's husband Gerhardt took her to the Pali Puka trail in Hawaii for her birthday. What she didn't know was that his Google searches leading up to that day included "dangerous hikes Hawaii" and "steep hikes Hawaii." He came prepared with a syringe, a plan, and a cliffside. She came with hiking gear and no idea. What followed was one of the most harrowing survival stories we've ever covered. Arielle fought back with everything she had, and two strangers on the same trail that morning made sure she didn't die alone on that mountain. Before we get into the case, we are getting into something spicy: what actually counts as cheating? Emotional affairs vs. physical ones, what would make you leave, and why this conversation matters a lot for understanding everything that comes next. Trigger warning: attempted murder, domestic violence, graphic violence.
