A member of the U.S. Army has been charged with killing his pregnant and newlywed wife who went missing from a barracks in Hawaii last summer, the armed forces announced this week.

Mischa Mabeline Kaalohilani Johnson, 19, was last seen on the night of July 31, 2024, inside her home on the Schofield Barracks in Oahu, according to the Army Criminal Investigation Division. She was reported missing the next day, on Aug. 1, 2024.

Her soldier husband, Private First Class Dewayne Arthur Johnson II, was arrested on Aug. 2, 2024 — and placed in military pretrial confinement. Later that same month, he was charged with false official statements, obstruction of justice and production and distribution of child pornography, according to the Army. Those three initial charges “stemmed from the investigation into Johnson’s disappearance,” according to a statement obtained by Army Times.

In November 2024, the Army Office of Special Trial Council leveled new allegations against Johnson for his wife’s murder, for “intentionally” killing her unborn child, and for possession of child pornography, according to Task & Purpose and Military.com.

Now, five charges and 19 specifications have formally been “referred” against Johnson under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) — a complete set of rules akin to criminal law for members of the U.S. military.
