The wife of a Hawaii anesthesiologist who survived his alleged murder attempt atop a steep cliff was seen bloodied and being helped down the trail by two women in police bodycam footage shown in court.
Arielle Konig, 36, testified in a Hawaii court this week in the attempted murder trial of her husband Gerhardt Konig.
Gerhardt, an anesthesiologist from Maui, is accused of trying to push Arielle, a nuclear scientist, off a cliff before trying to inject her with a syringe and bashing her head with a rock during a hike on March 24, 2025 on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.
In the bodycam footage, Arielle could be seen with blood smeared across her face after she survived the alleged attack.
The footage shows a responding officer approach Arielle and the two hikers who called 911 when they heard Arielle screaming, “He’s trying to kill me.”
They can be seen slowly coming down to the landing where the officer had arrived. One person helps Arielle sit down on the ground while they, along with the two witnesses, sit by her to render aid.
Another person is seen putting a bandage across Arielle’s head as she rests against some rocks.
The responding officer told the court on Wednesday, March 25, that Arielle sounded weak as she spoke to officers.
The audio was not played in court, but Arielle can be seen trying to communicate using her hands as blood streams down her face.

Earlier this week, Arielle recounted the harrowing details of the alleged attack, and how she went on the hike feeling “hopeful” about the future after marital issues she was facing with Gerhardt.
While on the hike, which was to celebrate Arielle’s birthday, Gerhardt allegedly tried to drag her to the edge of a steep cliff and when she tried to fight him, he got on top of her and said, “Nobody’s coming to save you.”
Gerhardt escaped after the two hikers, seen in the bodycam footage, heard Arielle screaming and called 911.
