Ariel Coneg is back on the stand in Hawaii one year after she says her husband tried to

kill her during a hike on her birthday.

Ariel Coneg testifying in cordon, Honolulu, as her husband anesthesiologist Gerhard Coneg

faces a charge of second degree attempted murder.

Prosecutors say he attacked her on March 24, 2025, along the Pallipuca trail on a Wahoo.

He has pleaded not guilty and faces up to life in prison.

Coneg told jurors the attack began near a cliff during what was supposed to be a birthday

trip.

She said her husband grabbed her and pushed her toward the edge after she refused to take

a photo close to the edge.

She described the moment the violence escalated.

I was screaming and so he's covering my mouth and stuff and then we had this moment of

like, he seems like he takes a deep breath and then he just starts hitting my face and

my head with a rock.

She says she tried to fight back as he continued the assault.

I'm screaming and he's telling me shut the f*** up.

Nobody's going to hear you out here.

Nobody's coming to save you.

Coneg told the jury he was on top of her during the struggle and tried to inject her with

something.

He's on top of me and he had a syringe in his hand and he says hold still.

Prosecutors say two hikers nearby heard her screams and rushed to help.

One of them by the name of Sarah Bucksmom called 911.

There's a man trying to get her to the light all over her face.

You described seeing the defendant's eyes?

It's like a cold, emotionless stare.

Coneg testified that the attack continued until the hikers intervened.

She said her husband stopped when he realized others were there.

She was able to crawl away and get to help.

Doctors later treated her for severe head injuries, including deep lacerations to her

scalp.

Doctors were shown the scars during testimony.

The defense claims the encounter was a fight and argues Coneg struck her husband first with

a rock.

Prosecutors say the evidence shows an attempted killing.

The trial continues today.

Andrew Alex and Tanner skeleton were nine seven and five when they disappeared from

Marancy Michigan November 26th of 2010.

They've been spending Thanksgiving with their father John skeleton during a bitter custody

dispute.

He was supposed to return them to their mother Tanya Zoovers that morning.

Zoovers got worried when she could not reach him.

She called police and Amber alert was issued but the boys were never found.

Investigators say John skeleton gave shifting stories at first he claimed the boys were

with friends.

Later he said he gave them to a woman named Joanne to return them to their mother.

Authorities say that woman has never been verified and likely does not exist.

He also claimed at times the boys were with an underground group or even suggested they

were being kept safe and away from their mother.

Police say those claims were false.

Hours after the boys vanished skeleton was found at a hospital with an ankle injury after

what authorities say was a suicide attempt.

When investigators searched his home they found it into Saray.

The inside of the home was practically destroyed.

In 2011 skeleton pleaded no contest to three counts of unlawful imprisonment.

He was sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison.

He's never been charged with their deaths but investigators have long said they believed

the boys were killed.

In March 2025 a Lanawi County judge ruled the brothers are legally dead with a presumed

date of death of November 26th 2015.

The judge said there was not enough proof to say how they died or who was responsible.

The case remains open.

The boys are white.

He was about four foot one and fifty seven pounds.

He was last seen wearing brown pajama pants with orange trim.

his glasses.

He was about three feet six and forty pounds.
