Jennifer Gledhill, a 43-year-old Utah mother of three, is back in the spotlight after new unsealed court records revealed that data from her Oura Ring could help locate the body of her missing husband, Matthew Johnson. Johnson’s body has not been recovered nearly two years after his disappearance.
The man later contacted the police, according to charging documents released by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office. Court documents state that the killing followed an argument after Johnson confronted Gledhill about an alleged affair. Investigators alleged the confrontation ended after the couple consumed whiskey and had sex in their house. Those searches led to the discovery of Johnson’s abandoned pickup truck, a storage container that allegedly tested positive for his blood, and discarded bedding with a mattress and pillows. However, the police were unable to trace Johnson’s body.
Authorities said that Gledhill allegedly confessed to the killing to a man with whom she was having an affair.
Court records indicate investigators previously relied on GPS data from Gledhill’s vehicle to identify several remote locations in northern Utah visited after Johnson’s disappearance.
They also displayed GPS maps and photographs of items recovered in remote areas at the family home.
Prosecutors said DNA testing matched Johnson.
Evidence presented during earlier court hearings included photographs of bloodstains beneath the couple’s bed.
