Hawaii Doctor Accused of Trying To Kill Wife Had 'Extreme Jealousy'
A doctor who allegedly tried to kill his wife by pushing her off a cliff in Hawaii harbored "extreme jealousy" and once accused her of having an affair ... at least according to his spouse.
Gerhardt Konig -- a 46-year-old anesthesiologist who works on Maui -- is accused of trying to murder his wife Arielle last month during a scenic stroll on Oahu.
He was charged Wednesday with second-degree attempted murder -- prosecutors say he attacked his wife at the famous Pali Lookout -- and on Thursday she filed for court-ordered protection.
Arielle claims Gerhardt was prone to "extreme jealousy," accused her of having an extramarital affair in December and was "attempting to control and monitor" all of her communications ... according to the restraining order, obtained by TMZ.
She says they married in 2018 and have two children ... but were going to couples therapy and counseling in an effort to salvage their marriage. She said they traveled from their home on Maui to Oahu for her 36th birthday and that's when he allegedly attacked her.
Arielle says her husband suggested hiking a trail near Pali Lookout, and when she refused to take a selfie with him on the hike, Arielle claims he went berserk ... allegedly trying to push her off the cliffside trail. She also claims he punched her, smashed her with a rock, and tried to jab her with syringes.
She says it's unclear what was in the syringes but in the docs, she notes her husband has access to "potentially lethal medications as part of his employment."
Arielle also claims her husband called one of his children from another marriage on FaceTime after the alleged attack and told them, "I just tried to kill Ari, but she got away."
Gerhardt is being held without bail ... and his wife says she fears for her and their kids if he's released.

Feds search Kentucky estate owned by SoHo crypto torture suspects
A Kentucky estate owned by two men accused of torturing an Italian man in SoHo over a Bitcoin password was raided by a team of investigators Tuesday. New York City cops joined federal officials and Kentucky State Police to go through a property belonging to cryptocurrency investor John Woeltz and his associate William Duplessie, according to TMZ. Investigators reportedly have two warrants for an 'active and ongoing investigation' involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Woeltz, 37, and Duplessie, 33, are accused of luring 28-year-old Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan from Italy to Manhattan, then violently keeping him under their control for 17 days before he seemingly escaped their downtown townhouse bloodied and wearing no shoes. Some photos obtained by TMZ call into question how much resistance Caturan offered at certain points in the ordeal. TMZ said one image showed him unrestrained and seemingly using crack cocaine in what appeared to be a party atmosphere. But prosecutors claim Carturan's wrists were bound and he was subjected to 'beatings including but not limited to the use of electric wires to shock him' as well as being assaulted with a firearm that was sometimes pointed at his head. The alleged assailants are also accused of using a saw to cut his leg and urinating on him. Carturan said he was relieved of his passport and electronic devices upon arrival on the Prince Street property. He escaped when one of his captors left him alone to get a laptop so he could enter the passport the suspects wanted. Woeltz is known as the 'Crypto King of Kentucky,' according to TMZ.

Masked Men Break Into Macklemore's Home, Bear-Spray Nanny While Kids Sleep
Masked Men Break Into Macklemore's Home, Bear-Spray Nanny While Kids Sleep originally appeared on Parade. Two masked men broke into rapper Macklemore's Seattle home over the weekend, deploying bear spray on a nanny and stealing thousands of dollars in valuables — all while his three children, whom he shares with wife Tricia Davis, were inside. According to a police report obtained by The Seattle Times, the home invasion occurred just before 1 a.m. Saturday at a Capitol Hill residence reportedly listed in public records as belonging to the Grammy-winning artist. Macklemore, whose legal name is Ben Haggerty, was not named in the redacted police report, but the outlet confirmed the address matched his voter registration. TMZ reported that the rapper was out of the country at the time, performing in Ireland. Seattle police were dispatched after the nanny reported that two intruders had entered the home, sprayed her with bear mace, and were still inside. According to the report, she had just put the children to bed when she saw two men enter through a patio door. One immediately sprayed her in the face with bear repellent. Despite the initial assault, the nanny told police that the man who sprayed her appeared 'fearful' and inexplicably began helping her rinse the bear spray from her eyes. The second suspect reportedly demanded valuables, shouting, "Where are the jewels, b--ch?" according to TMZ. The men then took jewelry, watches, and shoes before pushing her to the ground and taking her phone. In a separate incident report, the Seattle Police Department stated that 'thousands of dollars of items' were stolen from the home. The nanny told officers she bit one of the men before fleeing the house. She knocked on several neighbors' doors until one let her in to call 9-1-1. The suspects were later seen fleeing the scene, according to the police report. Thankfully, all three children were unharmed and were placed in the care of family members following the incident.
