Husband of missing pregnant woman charged with murder

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – In a major development, more charges were filed Wednesday against the husband of a missing pregnant woman, including murder, the U.S. military said.

Pfc. Dewayne Arthur Johnson II was charged with the murder of Mischa Johnson, the intentional killing of her unborn child, obstruction of justice and possession of child pornography.

“It was a relief,” said Marianna Tapiz, Johnson’s sister. “It was like, OK, now I can… plan the closing. So it was definitely a stepping stone.

“I’m still processing everything,” she said.

Pfc. Johnson was arrested on August 19 and initially taxed providing false statements, obstruction of justice and the production and distribution of child pornography.

Mischa Johnson, 19, went missing from her Schofield Barracks home in July. She was about six months pregnant at the time.

Her body still hasn’t been found.
