Monday, April 14, 2025 - The nuclear engineer whose anesthesiologist husband allegedly tried to k!ll her on a hike in Hawaii made her first public appearance in court on Friday, April 11, while still bearing injuries reportedly sustained during the attack. 

Renowned nuclear engineer Arielle Konig, 36, sported a clear stitch just below her right eye while she sat front and center at the first hearing for her 46-year-old husband Dr. Gerhardt Konig.

 

She appeared to ask the court to extend her restraining order against Gerhardt. 

The court granted Arielle’s request and Gerhardt will have to stay away from her and his two children until the order either expires or is extended again. 

At the hearing, Arielle wore a black-and-white floral headscarf. The alleged attack left her critically injured and she required surgical treatment, but it is unclear if the headpiece was worn to conceal new scars.
