A newlywed bride has been charged with murdering her husband by pushing him off a cliff during an argument - just eight days after they got married.
Jordan Graham, 22, was said to be having second thoughts about getting married around the time the body of her husband, Cody Johnson was discovered.
According to police reports the couple drove a short distance from their home in Kalispell, Montana to the Glacier National Park, where they got into an heated argument.
She alleges he grabbed her by the arm but she pulled away and shoved him face-first off a cliff to his death.
The incident took place on July 7 but it wasn't until five days later the 25-year-old's body was recovered by helicopter.
Johnson was only reported missing when he failed to turn up to work the next day.
Friends say the groom was excited over the marriage after dating Graham for two years but she always seemed "aloof".
According to family friend Tracey Maness,just before the wedding Johnson told his mother that Graham would change once they got married,
"Nobody ever could have thought something like this could happen," she said.
On the night he died, Graham told a friend that she meant to talk with Johnson about "having second thoughts about having been married," according to an FBI report.
Just before 9pm she text the friend saying the she was about to talk to him.
"But dead serious if u (sic) don't hear from me at all again tonight, something happened," she wrote.
Police says Graham originally told investigators her husband had sent her a text message the night of his death, saying he was going for a drive with a friend.
She told cops she arrived home to see a car pulling out of their driveway and that Johnson was in it.
Four days later however she told a Glacier park ranger she had found the body.
"It was a place he wanted to see before he died," she told investigators.
"He would come up here with friends to drive fast when his friends were visiting from out of town."
However after falling under suspicion she later admitted she had lied.
She told them she and Johnson had an argument so decided to go to for a walk.
As the row escalated Graham said she turned to walk away but her husband grabbed her arm.
She told investigators "due to her anger, she pushed Johnson with both hands in the back, and as a result, he fell face first off the cliff."
