Two decades later, prosecutors are claiming that David Vander Meer pushed his wife from the cliff’s edge after law enforcement received a new tip from Vander Meer’s former boss. In addition to claiming that the fall wasn’t accidental, prosecutors allege that Vander Meer was involved in an underage sexual relationship with a woman from his church youth group, identified as “SH” in court documents.

A day before the Vander Meer’s trip to Zion National Park, SH allegedly met with David to end their relationship. SH told detectives that David Vander Meer told her that they could only “be together if Bernadette is not alive.” The story Vander Meer told investigators was also slightly different from the story he told his youth group, in which he said he was taking a photograph of Bernadette when he turned to take something out of his bag, at which point she fell.

Prosecutors allege that the incident was premeditated, pointing to the fact that Vander Meer had increased the couple’s life insurance from $150,000 to approximately $550,000 about a year prior to the incident. After his wife’s death was ruled accidental, Vander Meer filed an insurance claim and collected more than $567,000.

The allegations against Vander Meer remain pending in court.

Kids and adults have to be careful getting close to a youth pastor or one of those tv evangelist church pastors. Most are weird and into porn AND murder of their wife
