Utah Woman Accused of Killing Husband Allegedly Confessed to Lover

Prosecutors present evidence suggesting Jennifer Gledhill killed her husband to pursue a relationship with her lover.

  • Jennifer Gledhill, 42, is accused of fatally shooting her husband, Matthew Johnson, 51, in their Cottonwood Heights home in September 2024.
  • Prosecutors allege Gledhill killed Johnson after an argument over her alleged affair and later buried his body in an unknown location, which remains undiscovered.
  • Evidence includes a recorded phone call in which Gledhill reportedly confessed to the killing and expressed fears that her lover would see her as a 'monster.'
  • During the recorded conversation, Gledhill allegedly compared herself to the Queen of Hearts from 'Alice in Wonderland,' advocating for severe punishment for 'bad people.'
  • Gledhill has been denied bail and faces nine felony charges, including first-degree murder, while her defense argues the evidence is being taken out of context.
