“On YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts.”

Hey, good morning, everybody. You're listening to the "Date Line Story" meeting. Let's jump right in here. Our producers are catching up on breaking crime news. Any indication on motive? Nothing yet.

They were looking at all of the cases that Detective had been on because she had deleted one or two pieces of evidence. A lot of it happens after they figure out who it is, really. Welcome to "Date Line True Crime Weekly."

“I'm Andrea Canning. It's March 26th, and here's what's on our docket.”

Family drama and a Mississippi courtroom as a man accused of murdering his daughter's boyfriend stands trial for a second time.

And his daughter is the prosecution's star witness. The last time that Katelyn testified, she said she started questioning her dad and he basically told her not to look a gift worse in the mouth. In "Date Line Roundup," we're on verdict watch in the trial of the Utah nurse accused of poisoning her best friend. And 15 years after the murder of an Iowa Realtor, news of an arrest, they were shocked that Ramsey was the person who had been arrested. Plus, how can Realtor's protect themselves? We've got some safety tips.

It's just a little pan behind my neck tie. I can be pushing it, sending it alert at the authorities to tell him, "Hey, any help." Before all that, we're heading to a courtroom in Honolulu, where an anesthesiologist is on trial for attempting to murder his wife with a rock. On the morning of March 24th, 2025, a woman's cries for help pierced the quiet of the Polly Puka Trail, a scenic and sometimes treacherous hike overlooking Oahu. Two hikers braised toward the noise and saw a man beating a woman with a rock. They called 911.

The man fled and the hikers helped the woman and Ariel Coneg down the trail. After an hour's long manhunt, police found her alleged attacker at the edge of the forest, it was her husband, Dr. Gerhard Coneg. Now, Dr. Coneg is on trial in a Honolulu courtroom accused of second-degree attempted murder. He has pleaded not guilty, and his defense says the story is much more complicated. They say far from being a victim, Ariel is the one who attacked Gerhard first. On Tuesday, exactly one year since the attack, Gerhard's got to hear from Ariel as she took the stand to tell her story of that morning and what led up to it.

I just started screaming because in my mind, he was trying to knock me unconscious to be able to drag me over that. I was screaming then. Here to bring us the latest from the courtroom is why he knew his now anchor and reporter Mahalani Richards and welcome back Mahalani. A lot of Andrew good to see you. Before we get to the story, there's been severe flooding impacting Honolulu this past week. I hope you all are staying safe. I know you're covering that as well. That's right. And actually the judge in the Coneg trial, he thanked the jurors for coming to trial because every single juror has been able to make it to court despite the flooding.

Amazing. So to start Mahalani, tell us about the relationship between Gerhard and Ariel Coneg. They've been married since 2018, two young sons together living in Maui.

That's right. They live in Calhulu, Maui and they also have 19 year old steps on that's her steps on his son, a meal Coneg from a previous marriage, a meal was also living with them as well. And this is a successful couple, right? I mean, Gerhard was a anesthesiologist former medical school professor. Ariel worked at a nuclear engineering company. That's right. Highly successful, highly educated. It was this dream-like situation. She was able to work from home while Dr. Coneg was an anesthesiologist going to different hospitals on Maui.

The prosecution and defense, they presented very different theories as to what happened that day. Take us through the sequence of events, the prosecutor outlined to the jury during his opening statements.

And the prosecutor said that Ariel did not want to be there. She felt this unease in being there.

“And that's what led to this whole confrontation or it was an attack as the prosecutor calls it.”

And then as Ariel moving down the trail to safely get by the defendant at this narrow spot with the cliff behind her, the defendant pushes her backwards towards that cliff. They start wrestling. They start struggling. They start fighting. And he had a syringe in his hand. That's right, Ariel Coneg and her testimony said that in the middle of this alleged attack, he pulled out a syringe and tried to stab her with it.

And that he also reached into his bag and pulled out a vile. And so at this point, we don't know what was in that vile, the syringe and the vile were never found by police.

The prosecution, at least, is thinking the theory is that, you know, the syringe came first and then she knocks it out of his hand, so then he moves onto a rock. That's right, she told police that she was hit multiple times by this rock, a jagged lava rock about 10 times. The defense said that she was hit twice. The prosecutor said Garrett called his older son Emil after he ran off into the forest. What's important about that phone call? Well, it is very important, Andrea, because at this point, it's becoming a he said she said in a violent attack. Who attacked who started it? This was a FaceTime call.

And apparently Dr. Coneg was seen on camera and his son saw him bloody. We haven't heard from Emil yet, but according to prosecutors, Dr. Coneg confessed to trying to kill his wife. And he was very depressed about it. But according to the defense, it was not a confession and that he was depressed that they had gotten into the situation and that he wanted to end his own life by jumping off the cliff.

“This is Garrett Hart's own son who's going to have to testify against him. That's a lot. So what is the prosecutions alleged motive for the attack?”

The two of them had been working on their marriage and leading up to the incident. They had been going through couples counseling.

He had concerns that she had this so-called emotional affair with her married co-worker and the prosecution is basically saying that this fueled this rage in Dr. Coneg.

The defense, of course, presented a very different version of what happened. That's right. The defense repeatedly has said that this was an attack instigated by aerial Coneg. That aerial Coneg tried to push Garrett Hart first and that she tried to hit him with the rock. So that was the long build up to Ariel's testimony on Tuesday. What was your impression of her as she took the stand? I mean, she's facing off with the man. She says tried to kill her.

Well, she was very stoic. From the moment she walked into that courtroom, she looked straight toward where she was supposed to go. She sat down. All eyes were on her and she just looked straight ahead. She was taken in. My name is Ariel Coneg, and she answered the questions very clearly and concisely. Let's take a listen to some of that testimony.

My back was at the cliff, and he's facing me and the cliff. What happened next? When I walked up to him, then he grabbed me really forcefully by my upper arms. And he said, "I'm so sick of this. Get back over there." And he starts pushing me back towards the cliff.

Ariel says it really felt like Garrett Hart was almost kidding at first.

And then for her, she says it turned into a matter of life and death. Very quickly. That's right. She says that she was only 10 feet or less to that cliff, which drops hundreds of feet. I threw myself onto the ground. There's a lot of trees and shrubs there, so that I could hold on.

“Can you tell us what you remember he said as you was on top of you?”

Yeah. Oh, I mean, I'm screaming and he's telling me, "Shut the ****. Nobody's going to hear you out here. Nobody's coming to save you." And I'm saying, "You can't do this." Everyone knows you're on a hike. They'll know this wasn't an accident, and our kids will be orphans.

She talks about this relationship with Jeffrey Miller, the guy from work, and she really downplays it. She's saying, "Yes, I talked to him, but it wasn't at all anything bad." Did you ever have sex with Jeffrey? No. Then these messages did you flirt with Jeffrey Miller?

How did Gerhard find out about Eriel's emotional affair?

Well, he logged on to her WhatsApp, and he found that there was this long conversation and Eriel described an angry confrontation. Can you describe what he said to you?

“Yeah, called me a lying bitch, your whore. How could you do this, sort of thing?”

How did the defense handle Eriel and cross-examination? The defense asked very pointed questions every single time about the truthfulness of her answers. The defense questioned her on just how serious her injury really was after the incident. The defense said that the last iteration on her head, though it looked bad on the pictures, it actually was not a severe and it just bleeds a lot.

You did not have any school fractures, correct? That's correct, no school fractures. Yeah, no facial fractures, correct? That's correct, no fracture on my face. You're discharged the next day, correct?

Yes, sir. Interesting. How long do we expect this trial to go on for? Well, we expect the trial to go on until mid April. We potentially can expect to hear from Dr. Coney himself. He is on the witness list for the defense.

Yeah, well, since he's claiming self-defense, you know, jurors, like to hear, you know, a first-hand account of that.

We'll see what happens. Hey, honey, thank you so much for bringing us this story all the way from Hawaii. We love hearing Aloha at the top of our stories. It's very special. Thank you. Mahalo, Andrea, it's good to see you again.

Coming up, a man accused of murdering his daughter's boyfriend, Stan's trial for a second time. And his defense team has a bold new strategy. Hey, guys, Willie Geist here. We're celebrating 10 years of Sunday today by hosting a very special Sunday sit-down live event in our guest. As one of the biggest stars on the planet, Ryan Reynolds.

We're taking our conversation to the stage in front of an audience of you for one night only at city winery in New York on April 7th and intimate in-person evening. I promise he won't want to miss tickets are limited, so grab yours now at today.com. He was a young Marine. She didn't care about convention. They made a life together. Then one night, the Marine died.

And then the death investigation took a wild, unexpected, and utterly bizarre turn. I'm Josh Maykowitz, and this is trace of suspicion on all new podcasts from daylight. Listen to all episodes of trace of suspicion now, wherever you get your podcasts. On November 30th, 2022, father and local businessman Kirby Carpenter was shot and killed outside his home in TIPA County, Mississippi. He was just 36 years old.

For nearly a year, the murder went unsolved. Then, on the one-year anniversary of his death, investigators arrested Kirby's girlfriend, Caitlin Spence, along with her parents, Jeffrey and Karen. All three pleaded not guilty. Then, in a sudden change of heart before their trial, Caitlin and her mother Karen took a plea deal, leaving Jeffrey to face a jury along.

Caitlin testified against her father for the prosecution.

“Father told you that he was responsible for Kirby Carpenter's death, correct?”

Yes. But after four and a half hours of deliberation, jurors could not reach a verdict. A judge declared a mistrial. This week, prosecutors are trying the case again. Jeffrey Spence is on trial in a new courthouse in a different county.

Dateline producer Rachel White, who attended the first trial, is back to tell us what else

might be different this time around. Welcome back, Rachel. Thanks, Andrea. So, first thing, why the move to a new county for this new trial? So, the judge ordered the retrial to be moved.

They were looking for jurors who didn't know details about the crime or the case. And the case has gotten a lot of local attention. So, now we're in Calhoun County. What is the atmosphere like in the courtroom? Kirby's family members that are in the courtroom have been emotional.

“I think there are a lot of things that are hard to hear.”

And there are also photos from the crime scene that I think are really devastating for them to have to look at. So, before we get to the opening statements, let's remind people of what happened here. Tell us about Kirby. Sure. So, Kirby Carpenter was 36 years old.

He was a Marine Corps vet, a father of two young children, and by all accounts of very successful businessmen.

And Kirby's relationship with Caitlyn Spence, his girlfriend, is really central to this case.

“Explain how they met and how her family became a part of his life.”

Yeah, sure. So, Caitlyn and Kirby began dating in 2020, and they had a daughter together in July of 2022. And around that same time, Caitlyn's parents, Jeff and Karen Spence, came from Virginia where they lived to help them with the baby. They stayed for several months before returning to their home on November 29, 2022, which was just one day before Kirby was murdered. Okay. So, walk us through what investigators say happened the day Kirby was killed. So, investigators say that Kirby arrived back at his house after going to the grocery store.

And he was shot twice once in the neck and once in the chest, and then his body was dragged to the side of his carport in the driveway. And then two days later on December 2nd, Caitlyn Spence called 911 and reported finding Kirby's body. It took a year, but detectives, the investigation eventually leads them to Caitlyn and her parents.

They're saying that they are involved in this.

Yes. So, that information came to police from a former employee, someone that Kirby knew told police that while he was at Kirby's funeral, Caitlyn allegedly said something to him along the lines of Daddy killed Kirby, speaking about Jeff Spence. But Rachel, you just said that Jeffrey Spence had already gone home to Virginia.

“The day before Kirby's death, that's 500 miles away, is that possible that he was the killer?”

So, prosecutors say that Jeff Spence did drive home to Virginia, leaving Kirby and Caitlyn's home. But then he drove back to Mississippi to kill Kirby. For motive, the prosecution alleges that it was really about money a few days after the shooting when Jeffrey Spence wasn't Mississippi, Kirby's side of the family say they noticed something suspicious. They called the sheriff's department to report finding bags of silver coins belonging to Kirby in Jeff Spence's vehicle. We mentioned that Caitlyn and her mom took plea deals. How did that come about, Rachel?

So, Caitlyn pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to capital murder.

And her mother, Karen Spence, entered an Alfred plea to charges of being an accessory after the fact to Graham Larsonie. Now, an Alfred plea is not her pleading guilty. She's just saying the prosecutor has enough evidence to convict her. And she's received a suspended sentence in his now on probation. Are Caitlyn and her mom saying that they knew that the dad had done this? That's not exactly what they're saying.

So, the last time that Caitlyn testified, she said that she did not know that her dad had killed Kirby until many months later when they had this conversation at a waterfall near her parent's property. I asked him if he had anything to do with Kirby's death. He turned aggressive and very short with me. He said that he did what he had to do that the less I knew the better. He said that I should give tours in the mouth.

“How did you take this conversation with respect to Kirby's death?”

That he was confessing to me that he had killed Kirby. So, she is in trouble because she didn't say anything. Why does she have to take a plea deal? Like, was she in on the planning? Sounds like she wasn't, right? I mean, we don't know. One of the reasons that investigators are sure that Caitlyn wasn't the one who pulled the trigger

is because she was actually on security video at a local Walmart in the parking lot with her daughter at the time that they believed that Kirby was killed. So, they know that she couldn't have been involved in the actual murder. So, Caitlyn testified against her dad. And that trial last fall still ended without a verdict. Rachel, the defense must have put up a good fight. They focused on, you know, common sense arguments.

They told the jury that there was no physical evidence placing Jeff Spence at the scene. And they said that the timeline just didn't add up. They said that the prosecution didn't prove that he drove back to Mississippi. Like they said that he had. Okay. So, Miss trial was in September.

Retrial is happening right now. Opening statements got underway on Tuesday. An assistant DA was up for the prosecution. What did he ask the jury to pay attention to? And did you notice anything different?

So, he laid out just what the jury can expect to hear from prosecutors. And he said that they would prove that Jeff Spence made that drive back to Mississippi to kill Kirby carpenter. Jeff Spence is the fancier. And I like the name. I left on the 29th.

We'll prove otherwise. The defense also had their opening statements. Anything new from them.

So, Jeff Spence is now being represented by a new set of attorneys.

“And, you know, just like his defense at the first trial,”

they say there's no proof that Jeff was at the scene when Kirby was murdered. What felt new this time, though, is that they said, you know, things about Kirby's family, that they might have been the ones who wanted to steal from him. And that definitely wasn't a part of the trial last time. They really also leaned into alternate suspects,

including someone that they say owed Kirby money. And had threatened him 24 hours before he was killed. And they also brought up another man who allegedly threatened to shoe Kirby. There are so many people who had noticed who had opportunity to kill Kirby carpenter. So many people who wanted to see them off.

Those people were never ever invested in it.

Rachel, can we assume Katelyn will testify again? She's such a key player in all of this. We don't know what day, but attorneys for both the prosecution and the defense mentioned her in their openings and said that we'd hear from her. Okay, Rachel, thank you.

We will keep an eye on this as the trial moves along. Thanks, Andrea. [Music] Up next, it's time for Dayline Roundup.

“A jury decides the fate of the Utah nurse accused of murdering her best friend.”

And 15 years after an Iowa Realtor was shot dead at an open house. There's been an arrest. Plus, what can real estate agents do to stay safe? We talked to one Realtor who's made it his mission to get agents, the training and tools they need to protect themselves.

[Music]

Hey guys, Willie Geist here, reminding you to check out the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

On this week's episode, I get together with Liam Ashell, talking about her lead role in the hit Broadway musical Chess, some of the Tony talk around it, and her road from the stage to Glee, and now back again. You can get our conversation now for free.

Wherever you can download your podcasts. [Music] Welcome back. Joining me for this week's Roundup is Dayline Producer Marissa Meyer. Thanks for being here, Marissa.

Thank you for having me, Andrea.

“Okay, so first up, we are headed to Provo Utah,”

for a story that you brought us last week, Marissa. This is the case of Megan Sundwall, the former nurse on trial for allegedly murdering her best friend, from the DC Terry, remind us of the details of that case. Yes, so Casey Terry died in August of 2024,

and her friends and family believed that she was terminally ill with cancer, but investigators soon learned she didn't actually have cancer, and she died from an insulin overdose. The prosecutors are alleging that her best friend Megan Sundwall poisoned her,

because Megan believed she was the beneficiary of Casey's life insurance policy. Yeah, this is a very twisted case. What is news in the last time we talked about it? Closing arguments took place on Monday, and the prosecutor pushed back on the defense's theory

that Megan was helping her friend fulfill a wish to die by suicide. It was not a best friend, merely helping out her other best friend in the whole world. This was control,

and the person who was in control during that entire time frame sits at that table, Megan Sundwall. What did the defense have to say? So, Megan's defense attorneys said again, and again, that there is simply no proof

that Megan was the one who killed Casey. Our system requires proof, not just a good stringing together of suspicious looking things, suspicious looking words,

reasonable doubt cuts from lack of evidence, lack of proof. And he argued that based on the Guacamada readings, it very well could have been Casey who gave herself the fatal dose of insulin, and for anyone who doesn't know what a Guacamada is

because I didn't before I started covering this case. It's a portable medical device that essentially measures the amount of sugar in your blood. There is no evidence that anything was injected after Casey Terry was unconscious.

The way the Zonico will go on this case, Casey Terry could have done anything that was because it hurt death herself. The case went to the jury on Monday afternoon have they reached a verdict.

Yes, they found Megan Sundwall not guilty of murder, but they did find her guilty of a cystic Casey Terry in the commission of suicide,

which is a second degree felony.

For our next story, we're going to Hudson Valley, which is an upstate New York, and a jury deliberated for 14 days before returning a verdict in the retrial of a man named Edward Holly

Megan McDonald. So Marissa, this is a story the podcast covered a while ago, but just remind us about the details. So back in March of 2003,

Megan McDonald is 20 years old. Her friends say that they saw her at a party, but that she left to go look for her ex-boyfriend, Edward Holly. Megan's body was found two days later on a dirt path she'd been pledged into death.

Marissa, the investigation didn't lead to an arrest until 20 years later when police arrested Edward Holly. He was indicted for second degree murder in 2024. Last year on the podcast, we covered his first trial,

which ended in a hung jury. In January, his second trial got underway, days and days go by, as we said, 14 days before the jury returned its verdict, what did the jurors decide?

They acquitted Edward Holly. Hmm, and we should say Edward Holly spoke out. He told the mid Hudson news, quote, "It's only right for me to be a free man. I didn't do anything.

I should have never been in jail."

“What did Megan's family have to say about the verdict?”

So, they posted a statement on the Justice for Megan McDonald Facebook page. They thanked the prosecutors and said, "After decades of seeking the truth, we now have the answer to who took Megan from us."

So, it seems like it is, you know, some kind of closure for them. Yeah. For our final story, we're off to West Amuin, Iowa,

where there's major news in the 2011 murder of 27-year-old Realtor Ashley Oakland. Marissa, tell us about that case. So, this is a really interesting case, Andrea. Ashley was fatally shot while working in an open house

in a townhouse development in West Amuin. And the case went cold for many, many years, despite hundreds of leads that had come in. And then, in 2024, the Iowa Attorney General launched a cold case unit.

And last year, new detectives got out to the case. That brings us to last week when police announced

“that 53-year-old Christian Ramsey had been arrested”

and charged with Ashley's murder. And Ramsey is yet to enter a plea in this case. So, this came out of the blue for a lot of people. What do we know about Christian Ramsey? Yeah.

So, investigators really haven't shared much information at this time. But we know that at the time of her murder, Ashley was working as an agent with a firm called Iowa Realty. And at the time of the arrest last week,

Christian Ramsey was working for a subsidiary of Iowa Realty. And she had started there a few months after Ashley's death. Iowa Realty told NBC news in a statement that they were relieved for Ashley's family that there'd been an arrest in the case.

But we're shocked that Ramsey was the person who had been arrested. Christian Ramsey's next court date is scheduled for early April and we will make sure to follow along as the case. Progressives.

Marissa, thank you very much for that update and for all the updates. Thank you so much, Andrea. For our final story, I wanted to talk to someone who's been on my mind a lot.

Ever since I heard about the arrest made in the case of murdered Iowa Realty, Ashley Oakland. And his name is Carl Carter.

I first met Carl more than a decade ago,

reporting on a date line episode called The Client, which told the story of another murdered realtor Carl's mom, Beverly. I'm texting her. I'm calling her and I can't. I can't get any response. In 2014, Beverly was one of the top selling realtor's

in Little Rock, Arkansas when she was kidnapped and murdered by a man posing as a new client, Aaron Lewis. Lewis and his wife Crystal were eventually convicted of kidnapping and capital murder charges in connection to Beverly's murder. Ever since his mother's death, Carl,

who is a realtor himself, has been determined to do what he can to keep realtor safe. He set up the Beverly Carter Foundation, an organization dedicated to training realtor's about the potential dangers they face,

and the tools they can use to protect themselves. And Carl is here now to share some of those tips and we're so grateful to have you on Carl. It's good to see you again.

It's always, always good to see you.

What a tough time. I mean, for all of us that know of Ashley's story and I, you know, through the work that I've done with a non-profit, you know, had befriended people that were close to Ashley.

“And so, you know, for a case that I think many of us had just accepted”

that there was probably not going to be closure. Yeah. And then suddenly. Suddenly, we have this arrest. It's a ripple effect for all of the realtor's around the country

when something like this happens. And you know that all too well. Realtors and these kinds of crimes. It's more common than people might realize. Absolutely.

I mean, there are, you know, countless agents that I've met across the country

Everyone, I think, has risk that are just associated with this industry

“that these precious people are working alone.”

Yeah. I mean, secluded areas sometimes, not always the best cell service

everywhere can be at night time. And we should say, Carl, this isn't just an issue for women. It happens to men too in the business. It does. There have been just in the past a couple of years.

Several men, realtors that were killed while doing the work. Through the years I've met many, many men that have been either assaulted or assaulted and robbed. What tips do you give realtors? Well, you know, just thinking about my precious mom.

You know, the number one thing that I always go to is try to find out who you're working with. What have you done to verify their identity? As best you can, ensure that they are actually interested and have the means to purchase a property.

And Carl, I know you talk about meeting in a public place first.

Always check your cell phone battery and signal before heading to an appointment.

Technology has really stepped up with other things you can do to stay safe. There are things like the Alexa devices or the ring doorbell. So those add a layer of surveillance, but they also add accountability. You know, I've had agents say everything's been fine. We've shown multiple properties and suddenly starting to just get that weird,

you know, feeling in your stomach. And so they'll say, hey, just want to be mindful of the fact that I read in the property description that this poem has reporting devices. And so just that kind of little ping of accountability to that person would hopefully, you know, deter some.

They might think twice about what they're about to do if they're thinking, "Oh, is there a chance that there's a camera in here?" But I also love just some of these wearable devices that you can be even more to screen. So it looks like jewelry or there's one that's just a little pan.

And so I can put it, you know, behind my neck tie. And I can be pushing it, sending it alert to my support group or, you know, the authorities to tell them, hey, any help. We should say what you were talking about, you know, with behind your tie or a piece of jewelry. It's called Invisible.

And also there's a, there's a system called for warm. What is it, Carl? So it simply, it is, you take a phone number and it does a reverse look up. And it hits a ton of databases based on, you know, this data, are they who they say they are?

“So, you know, if people want to get these tips, what should they do?”

So BeverlyCarderFoundation.org. But also, there's a treasure trove of resources through the national association of realtors. They have an ongoing safety committee. Fantastic. Carl, thank you for, for doing this interview. And for all you're doing to save lives of other real estate agents.
