A handwritten suicide note from former youth pastor David Vander Meer, released by Las Vegas police this week, has added a grim new layer to a long‑running Utah murder case that began with a fatal fall at Zion National Park nearly 20 years ago.
In the letter, found in his Nevada jail cell in June, the ex‑pastor insisted, 'I didn't kill her,' referring to his then‑wife, Bernadette, whose 2006 death he had only recently been charged over.
