Newlywed wife accused of pushing husband off Montana cliff


Cody Johnson's body was discovered in Glacier National
Park in Montana. His wife is charged in his death.

-- A woman in Montana is accused of pushing
her husband off a cliff after an argument. The pair had
been married for just more than a week.
Jordan Linn Graham made an initial appearance in
court Monday to face a charge of second-degree
murder. If convicted, she faces life in prison.
According to a criminal complaint, Graham recently
told a friend she was having second thoughts about
marrying Cody L. Johnson. CNN affiliate KECI reported
the couple had been married for just more than a
week.
The complaint said the couple argued the night of July
7. Upset, they decided to go hiking in Glacier National
Park in Flathead County, Montana, where they
continued to fight.
Graham told police that her husband grabbed her by
the arm. She turned and removed it.
"Graham stated she could have just walked away, but
due to her anger, she pushed Johnson with both hands
in the back and as a result, he fell face first off the
cliff," the complaint read.
His body was discovered several days later.
Graham's attorney, Michael Donahoe, declined to
comment on the case.
According to the complaint, Graham reportedly told a
friend she planned to talk with Johnson about her
reservations on July 7. The same day, Graham sent the
friend a text message saying, "Oh well, I'm about to talk
to him."
The friend responded, "I'll pray for you guys."
Graham wrote back: "But dead serious if u don't hear
from me at all again tonight, something happened."
