Former Pastor Charged With Pushing Wife Off Angel's Landing 20 Years Ago Died in Custody Before Trial | True Crime News Jun 29, 2026

Show notes

In Utah, David Vander Meer was charged with the 2006 murder of his wife Bernadette, who fell 1,200 feet from Angel's Landing at Zion National Park in what was ruled an accident at the time; a reinvestigation revealed he had allegedly told a teenage girl from his church youth group that his wife would need to die for them to be together, and had quadrupled her life insurance policy before the trip. He was arrested in Las Vegas last week and died from self-inflicted injuries in custody four days later, before extradition, leaving Bernadette's family without the trial they spent twenty years fighting for.

Show notes

In Los Angeles, a federal jury deadlocked ten to two in favor of acquittal in the arson trial of Jonathan Rinderknecht, the former Uber driver accused of setting the brush fire that prosecutors say became the catastrophic Palisades Fire, which killed twelve people and destroyed more than 6,800 structures; a mistrial was declared Friday after jurors said they were unwilling to change their positions. The government announced it will retry the case in October, while the neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, where only seventeen homes have been certified for occupancy, still waits for accountability.
