Episode Details

We just told you about his arrest this week, and now the former Vegas youth pastor accused of pushing his wife off a cliff 20 years ago, has died by suicide while in police custody. 49-year-old David Vander Meer was finally arrested 2 decades after the death of his wife Bernadette during an anniversary hike in 2006. Tips came in from his senior pastor at church and one of his ex-wives who was his teenaged mistress at the time of Bernadette’s death. Investigators formally charged Vander Meer with first degree murder and insurance fraud this week, but say he died of “self inflicted wounds” on Thursday.
