A 41-year-old Utah wife and mother of three young children who filed for divorce as recently as July, reportedly prompting a court to say the “highly dysfunctional marriage” perhaps should have ended long ago, is now accused of shooting her national guardsman husband in the head as he slept in bed, reporting him missing, buying a new mattress and cleaning the scene, and then “openly” blurting out what she had done when speaking with an informant.

Jennifer Gledhill was arrested in Salt Lake County on Wedensday and charged with murder and obstruction of justice in the presumed death of Matthew Johnson, 51, whom she allegedly shot and killed a matter of days after she reportedly failed to persuade a court that a protective order needed amid their divorce.
