Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

And then, so she's vibrating.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

The man is here.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

The man is... Oh, the girl is here.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

She's wearing...

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

She's wearing a purple tank top.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

Yes, I don't think a jury in this situation is going to believe for one second that this husband was only acting in self-defense.

The story goes, the defense's story goes, they were hiking this beautiful trail, and despite spending this time together over this weekend trying to rekindle their relationship,

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Ariel brought up that she was going to have to see her affair partner, a married man, at work when they returned from this trip.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

At that point, Koenig threatened to expose this affair to all of her family and friends, making Ariel angry.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

That's when Ariel tried to push him off the cliff, then hit him in the face with a rock.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

So Koenig says he responded by pushing Ariel to the ground and hitting her in the face with the rock twice.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

Again, I mean, twice versus once.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

These syringes have not been found, but neither has Ariel's belongings that she brought with her on the trail.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

So we have one trail and two very different stories.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

And these defense attorneys are trying to convince the jury that Koenig acted correctly.

Ariel.

We saw photos in court of some bruising on the left side of Dr. Koenig's face.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
WIFE OF "BELOVED" DR. FACES DEATH AT SHEER CLIFF EDGE ON "ROMANTIC" GETAWAY

Of course she did.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Ariel spent time in the hospital, yes.

I know the defense is arguing that Connie clearly didn't intend to kill her because she just had this head lack that bled a lot.
