They were newlyweds, but she was having second thoughts about the 8-day-old marriage, court documents say. The couple drove the short distance from their Kalispell home to Glacier National Park, where they got into an argument. He grabbed her by the arm, but she pulled away and shoved him face-first off a cliff to his death.
Federal prosecutors have given their version of what happened to Cody Lee Johnson, 25, two months after his body was found in an area of the park so steep and rugged that a helicopter had to be used in the recovery.
Jordan Linn Graham, 22, appeared Monday in federal court in Missoula on a second-degree murder charge in Johnson's July 7 death. Her attorney, public defender Andrew Nelson, declined to comment.

Note to self: Do not honeymoon in high places.
July 7th to Sept 9th is about 60 days; what has transpired then to now?
Check out the clothes and the glasses. Hipster Lib.
Her next honeymoon might be a scuba trip in Aruba.
I wonder how many Freepers under 40 (50?) caught it. lol
We live in a wonderful world...it is just that there are many, many sh**bags and di**heads roaming around.
Stay away from boat cruises, too. My wedding night was spent at the blackjack tables: choppy waters made my wife seasick.
In all fairness, she had a valid excuse...she was just one of dozens affected.
Over 25 years together, with 3 kids and a grandson, what a ride.
Groundhog Day - Watch that first step - it’s a doozie!
Remind me not to tick you off.
Agreed. The quote from the article was in response to driftdvr’s query “how would they convict?”
Husky heifer, for sure - and capable quite a shove.
Seems like a simple enough concept. :)
Gotta keep the crabs fed.
Looks to me that if she had not confessed she would have gotten away with it. Don’t kill someone unless you are going to keep your mouth shut. She should have gotten lawyered up immediately. She did the crime and now she will do the time
Lt. Columbo would have seen through it in a minute. BTW, would you mind if I take out an insurance policy on your life? Naming me as a beneficary?
“A Kiss Before Dying”, 1956. That’s Joanne Woodard, about to “commit suicide”.
Drop about 50 lbs and she might be not guilty.
If you have real love for a woman, and spend a year to really get to know each other, this is impossible to happen.
nasty and stupid
