Hawaii Doctor Allegedly Admitted to Attempting Wife’s Murder During FaceTime Call

Gerhardt Konig, charged with attempted murder, is accused of attacking his wife at a scenic cliff and later confessing the act to his son.

Gerhardt Konig, a 46-year-old anesthesiologist, is being held without bail on charges of second-degree attempted murder following an alleged attack on his wife, Arielle Konig, at the Pali Lookout in Hawaii.
Arielle Konig alleges her husband attempted to push her off a cliff, struck her in the head with a rock approximately 10 times, and tried to inject her with syringes during the attack.
Two hikers intervened after hearing Arielle’s screams for help, enabling her to escape; Gerhardt fled but was arrested later that evening near the Pali Highway.
Court documents reveal that Gerhardt allegedly FaceTimed his adult son after the incident, admitting, 'I just tried to kill Ari but she got away.'
Arielle has filed a restraining order, citing months of sexual abuse, extreme jealousy, and controlling behavior leading up to the attack; she remains hospitalized in stable condition.
