Summary
A chilling twist in the Angels Landing murder case: David Vander Meer, accused of pushing his wife off a cliff in 2006, took his own life in jail just days after being arrested for her death. His suicide note confessed to feeling trapped by the evidence — but also revealed disturbing claims of an affair with a minor, allegedly orchestrated to “clear the way” for their relationship, right before the fatal hike. The girl he allegedly dated broke up with him the day before the trip — then later became his wife before their divorce, amid cheating allegations. No charges were ever filed for the underage affair. Now, with the accused gone before trial, the case leaves a haunting void of unanswered questions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
