In a case highlighting a contentious divorce, Jennifer Gledhill, 41, is accused of murdering her estranged husband, National Guardsman Matthew Johnson, while he slept. The couple had been navigating a troubled separation, with Gledhill filing for divorce and a protective order. Despite this, tensions escalated when Gledhill allegedly shot Johnson and staged his disappearance by reporting him missing, all while concealing the crime.
A key break in the case came when her lover, acting as a confidential informant, revealed that Gledhill had openly admitted to the murder. She had reportedly confessed to shooting Johnson and disposing of his body. Following this, she tried to clean the crime scene and even purchased a new mattress to replace the one he had been killed on.
