MONTANA — A Montana woman was charged this week for killing her husband of eight days, by pushing him off a cliff at Glacier National Park, after he expressed doubts about their marriage during a hike.
Jordan Graham, 22, was charged with second-degree murder in U.S. District Court in Missoula, stemming from the July 7 death of her husband, Cody Johnson, 25, of Kalispell.
Johnson was reported missing to Kalispell police on July 8. Graham told officers her husband had texted her the evening of July 7 to say he was going for a drive with friends.
On July 11, Grahan reported to emergency dispatchers at Glacier National Park that she had found her husband’s body below a steep hiking path. She later admitted to authorities that she had lied about her husband’s death.
“Graham stated she could have just walked away, but due to anger, she pushed Johnson with both hands in the back and, as a result, he fell face first off the cliff,” said FBI Special Agent Steven Liss, who handled the case.
