Utah Woman Arrested for Allegedly Killing Estranged Husband in His Sleep

Jennifer Gledhill reportedly confessed to a confidential informant about shooting her husband and attempting to cover up the crime.

  • Jennifer Gledhill, 41, has been charged with murder and obstruction of justice after allegedly admitting to shooting her estranged husband, Matthew Johnson, 51, while he slept.
  • Police have not yet located Johnson's body, which Gledhill claimed to have buried in a shallow grave at an undisclosed location.
  • The couple was in the midst of a contentious divorce and custody battle over their three children, with a protective order against Johnson denied just days before the alleged murder.
  • A search of the couple's home revealed bloodstains and evidence of an attempted cleanup, including a new mattress and bleached walls.
  • Gledhill is being held without bond as investigators continue to gather evidence and search for Johnson's remains.
