Arielle Konig appeared in a Hawaii court exactly one year after surviving an alleged murder attempt by her husband
Gerhardt Konig, an anesthesiologist, allegedly tried to push Arielle off a cliff during her birthday trip in March 2025
Two hikers called 911 after hearing Arielle’s screams
The woman who survived an alleged murder attempt by her husband during a birthday trip in Hawaii testified in his trial on the anniversary of the attack.
Arielle Konig, 37, took the stand before a jury on Tuesday, March 24, to testify against her husband Gerhardt Konig in his attempted murder case.
Gerhardt is accused of attempting to push Arielle off a cliff in Oahu, Hawaii while on a trip to celebrate Arielle’s birthday on March 24, 2025.
Arielle survived the alleged attack after hikers nearby heard her screaming for help and called 911, she told the jury during Tuesday’s court appearance, which was live-streamed by Court TV.
During her testimony, Arielle recalled the details of the events leading up to the alleged attack.
On the day of the incident, Gerhardt, an anesthesiologist on the Hawaiian island of Maui, allegedly took her on a hike on a steep cliff in Oahu.
At one point, Arielle refused to go up an elevation out of fear of how steep it was.
She told the court she later took a photo with Gerhardt against a steep cliff, even though it had made her uneasy. She asked him to step aside so she could move away from the edge and down the trail.
As she walked toward him, Gerhardt allegedly grabbed her by her arms and began saying, “I’m so f—ing done with this s—” and “get back over there” before he got on top of her.
“He was first trying to pull me closer to the cliff,” Arielle told the court, adding that she then saw a syringe in his hand and heard him say “hold still.”
As he allegedly dug his left hand through his backpack and held her down with his right hand, he said, “F— you, you’re done” and “I’m so sick of your s—,” she recalled.

Arielle testified that she tried to pry his fingers away because she could see he was holding a vial, as he continued: “Shut the f— up. Nobody’s gonna hear you out here. Nobody’s coming to save you.”
She tried to make him stop by talking about their children, she told the court.
“Our kids will be orphans,” she said of what she told him. “You’ll go to jail and I’ll be dead, our kids need us.”
He allegedly continued: “You’re done. We don’t need you anymore.”
As she spoke about their kids, Arielle told the court that Gerhardt appeared to calm down slightly before taking a deep breath and starting to hit her with rocks.
He stopped after two hikers nearby responded to her calls for help and called 911.

In court Tuesday, Arielle remained calm as she spoke, choking up only when Gerhardt’s defense attorney showed her a card he had given her on the morning of the hike.
Gerhardt was seen taking notes as she testified.
