Former youth pastor charged in wife’s deadly 2006 fall from Angels Landing

A man who previously served as a church youth pastor has been charged with the murder of his wife, nearly 20 years after she fell to her death from Angels Landing in Zion National Park.

David Vander Meer was charged Tuesday with murder and insurance fraud by the Washington County Attorney's Office. The charges came after the investigation into the death of Bernadette Vander Meer was reopened following a tip sent to the office.
