Private First Class Dewayne Johnson II, a soldier at Schofield Barracks, has accepted a plea deal for the alleged murder of his 19-year-old pregnant wife, Mischa Johnson, who went missing in September. The plea includes a confession and comes before his court appearance in early June at Wheeler Army Airfield. Mischa’s body and that of her unborn child have not been found. Her mother, Frances Tapiz Andrian, said, "I'm still processing every detail. I don't have my daughter and I hope one day we can bury her." Details of the plea deal will be released after approval by the military judge, according to KITV.
Dewayne Johnson, 29, is facing five charges and 19 related claims in connection with the disappearance of his wife, Mischa. She was six months pregnant and was last seen at their home on Schofield Barracks in Oʻahu, Hawaii, on July 31, 2024. Johnson waived his right to a preliminary hearing under Article 32, and his admission of guilt is currently being reviewed by a military judge, as reported by People.
Officials offered a $10,000 reward for information after Mischa Johnson was reported missing by her husband on August 1, 2024, who said she was "emotionally distraught." The U.S. Army states she is "presumed deceased and her body has not been found." Dewayne Johnson is charged with "the murder of Mischa Johnson, intentionally killing her unborn child, obstruction of justice, providing false official statements, possession of child pornography and the production and distribution of child pornography." Mischa’s sister, Marianna Tapiz, said, "If we can’t have Mischa, the least that we can do is make sure that man stays in jail and spends however needed to... he needs to stay in jail," as mentioned by People.
