Hawaii Soldier Charged with Murder of Pregnant Wife

Private First Class Dewayne Arthur Johnson II, a soldier based in Hawaii, has been charged with the murder of his pregnant wife, Mischa Mabeline Kaalohilani Johnson, who went missing last summer. Mischa, 19, was last seen on July 31, 2024, and was reported missing the following day. Johnson was arrested shortly thereafter and initially faced charges of false official statements, obstruction of justice, and child pornography, which were later expanded to include murder and the intentional killing of their unborn child. His legal proceedings are set to move forward under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, with an arraignment and other hearings scheduled. Mischa Johnson's body has not been found, and investigations continue, with the Army Criminal Investigation Division believing she was killed based on evidence gathered. The case has drawn significant attention due to its tragic nature and the serious allegations against Johnson.
