(Honolulu, HI) Arielle Konig took the stand yesterday to testify against her husband, anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig, exactly one year after he allegedly tried to kill her by pushing her off a cliff during a hike in Hawaii. She testified that he attempted to stab her with a syringe and, when that failed, she said he repeatedly bashed her head with a rock. Prosecutors are accusing the doctor of trying to kill Arielle Konig after she refused to take a selfie near the edge of a cliff along the Pali Puka trail on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. This incident occurred on March 24th, 2025. According to a petition that Arielle Konig filed last year requesting a temporary restraining order, the couple was on a trip celebrating her birthday. The Associated Press confirms that she filed for divorce in May of 2025. Gerhardt Konig, who worked with the Anesthesia Medical Group in Hawaii and was previously an anesthesiologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, is charged with second-degree attempted murder. He faces life in prison if he’s convicted.

(Washington, D.C.) According to a release yesterday in Washington D.C. from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), their Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert concerning ground beef sold in five states and the District of Columbia. It is labeled “White Oak Pastures, radically traditional farming, grassfed ground beef,” and it was sold in 1 lb. plastic vacuum-packed packages. The ground beef was sold at Mom’s Organic Markets locations in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia, and it may have a foreign material in it, specifically metal. The FSIS confirmed that it had an establishment number of EST 34729 inside the USDA mark of inspection and has “105761 Sell by 3/19/26” stamped on the back. No recall was initiated because the beef is no longer available for purchase, but it may still be in the freezers of consumers. There were no reports of injuries. However, there were two customer complaints about the issue. If you have this ground beef that is part of the public health warning, you should either return it to the place you purchased it or throw it away. You can contact 229-641-2081 for more information.
