The case of David Vander Meer, an American pastor, reached a tragic conclusion in June 2026 when the man of God committed suicide in his cell, two days after his arrest for the murder of his wife, Bernadette, which occurred twenty years earlier. The tragedy took place in 2006, during a hike in Zion National Park, Utah, to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. Bernadette, an experienced hiker, suffered a fatal fall from the top of Angel's Landing, which her husband presented as an accident.
