Hawaii Doctor Arrested for Alleged Attempted Murder of Wife at Scenic Pali Lookout

Gerhardt Konig, an anesthesiologist, is accused of attacking his wife, Arielle Konig, during a domestic dispute that left her hospitalized in critical condition.

Gerhardt Konig, 46, allegedly attempted to push his wife, Arielle Konig, off a hiking trail and struck her in the head with a rock at the Pali Lookout in Oahu on March 24, 2025.
The attack reportedly began after Arielle, a 36-year-old nuclear engineer, refused to take a picture with her husband during their visit to the popular tourist site.
Konig allegedly also tried to harm his wife with syringes during the assault, according to law enforcement sources.
Arielle sustained severe head and facial injuries and remains hospitalized in critical condition, while Konig was arrested after a six-hour manhunt near Pali Highway.
Konig, who worked as an anesthesiologist in Maui, has been suspended from his position pending the ongoing investigation, with charges against him still under review.
