Wife Charged in Utah Guardsman's Murder Case

Jennifer Gledhill, 41, has been charged with murder and obstruction of justice after allegedly shooting her husband, Matthew Johnson, 51, as he slept on September 20, 2023. Johnson, a member of the U.S. Military Special Operations Unit, was reported missing by Gledhill, who later admitted to an informant that she killed him and buried his body in a shallow grave. Investigations revealed significant cleanup efforts at the crime scene, including bleaching walls and purchasing a new mattress. The couple had been undergoing a contentious divorce process, with Gledhill previously filing for a protective order, which was dismissed days before the murder. Despite being held without bail, Johnson's body has not been located yet. The case has gathered substantial physical and digital evidence supporting Gledhill's arrest.
