Division)

The Army has preferred murder charges against a Hawaii-based cavalry scout
soldier whose pregnant wife went missing this summer, according to the Army.

The Office of Special Trial Counsel, a wing of the military that prosecutes
serious crimes, charged Pfc. Dewayne Arthur Johnson II on Tuesday with the
murder of Mischa Mabeline Kaalohilani Johnson. She was last seen in her home on
Schofield Barracks, the home of the 25th Infantry Division, on July 31.



Johnson, who was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division, was also charged with
killing Mischa Johnson’s unborn child.

Johnson was initially charged on Aug. 27, with making false official statements,
obstruction of justice and the production and distribution of child pornography,
but this is the first time he has been charged in the murder of his wife.

It is also the first time the Army has acknowledged the likelihood of Mischa
Johnson’s death, a spokesperson for the Army Office of Special Trial Counsel
confirmed.



Johnson has been in pretrial confinement since August 19, as he awaits his
preliminary hearing, known as an Article 32 hearing, which will determine if
there is enough evidence to go forward with the case.

Mischa Johnson’s body has still not been found and the case remains an active
investigation. She is 5 feet, 2 inches tall, roughly 170 pounds, six months
pregnant and Filipino. She has a large dragon tattoo on her back.

She was known to frequent the Ewa Villages and Waikiki areas, according to the
Honolulu Police Department.

The Army Office of Special Trial Counsel asks that anyone with information
contact the Army CID Pacific Field Office at (808) 208-0559, or reach out
through cid.army.mil/tips.
