HI HI - Mischa Johnson, 19, Schofield Barracks, Oahu, 31 Jul 2024 - 6 months pregnant *Arrest*

He led his platoon on a six-mile search for his wife on and near Schofield Barracks days after he reported her missing, Marianna Tapiz, Mischa Johnson’s older sister, said in an Instagram livestream Thursday.

These men never cease to amaze me!!

This was when he was pretending to cooperate. Is there anyway to go in the opposite direction from where he led his platoon on this day?

Near the end of this video, the reporter says that DJ will be held until his preliminary hearing and the Army has 120 days to bring him to trial.

3 charges filed against husband of missing mother-to-be Mischa Johnson​

So they are hoping to find her before filing the murder charges. Her mother said something along the lines of no one could’ve survived (an attack) with the amount of evidence in the home. There’s no hurry for the murder charges since he isn’t going anywhere. Has there been any evidence DJ had help with or after the attack? No noise about anyone else being in their house during this time? I wish they would bump up the reward amount. Maybe that would shake loose some memories. With the climate being so hot & humid, and the daily rain showers, if she is outside somewhere, they lose evidence everyday that goes by.

This case is so sad. Her family seems like good ppl who invited him into their homes and he took advantage of this in the worst ways possible.

Husband taken into military custody in connection to pregnant Hawaii woman’s mysterious disappearance

19-year-old Mischa Johnson failed to show up to dinner plans on July 12, 2024. Her family has not heard from her since.

www.nbcnews.com

From the article:

On July 12, 2024, Marianna Tapiz went to meet her younger sister, Mischa Johnson, at a restaurant to celebrate.
“I had announced my pregnancy. We were going to celebrate both of us being pregnant,” Marianna told Dateline. Mischa was about six months pregnant at the time. “We were so excited to spend time together,” Marianna said. “It should have been a happy time.”

But Mischa never showed up to dinner that night.

• Marianna texted Mischa asking where whe was and received a text reply: "Home. Wasn’t feeling good. Sorry." Marianna said that doesn't sound like Mischa.
• Mischa and their mother went to Costco on July 11, the last time anyone in the family saw Mischa.
• Their mother did speak to Mischa on the phone July 12, before her daughters were supposed to meet for dinner. That was the last time they heard Mischa’s voice.
• The family received texts from Mischa’s phone from Jul 12 - Aug 1, but they didn’t seem like Mischa’s texting style, in either tone or punctuation.
• Marianna hasn't been in contact with Dewayne or his mother since he was taken into confinement.

Mischa Johnson's husband facing criminal charges stemming from her disappearance

The body of Mischa Johnson has still not been found after her family confirmed her death.

[...]

"He's facing significant time -- probably decades in jail in terms of the maximum punishment he could receive they if they charge him with some sort of a homicide or a murder charge," he said. "Then the military could potentially sentence someone to death."

While there are no official murder charges at this time, the court-martial defense lawyer said that could come soon.

"The speed at which they're moving is unusual," Tipon said. "So you know, I wouldn't be surprised to see the charge sheet changing in the very near future should they find something more, such as they find the body, or they find the person, that kind of a thing."

“It was a breath of relief for me personally because again, the process has started, and I have faith and justice will prevail,” Mischa Johnson’s sister Marianna Tapiz said.

“I’ve cried all I could … I am just really upset at him.”

Mischa’s sister urges anyone who might know what happened to come forward.

So it sounds like the timeline for Mischa and her baby girl’s murder is Friday, July 12th - after she spoke with her Mom and before she would have left for dinner with her sister.

That also ties back to her family stating in the live they hosted - DJ bought the tools on Saturday, July 13th.

What happened to set him off? Does anyone remember when Mischa called his Mom? Was that ever stated?

On July 12, Mischa called DJʻs mom to discuss his infidelity and, according to the family, from that point on they only had contact with Mischa via text.

Motive might be the same situation as Scott Peterson. Maybe he didn't want a baby. Maybe 'disappeared' seemed like the best option. Live birth means child support and significantly altered life.

Catching up here, sounds like she died on the afternoon of July 12, after phone call with mom and before supper with sister. Suspect bought tools to disguise her disappearance on July 13. He reported her disappearance on August 1.

Was phone call with suspect's mother before, or after, phone call with mother?
Where was he on the evening of July 13 and morning of July 14?

You would think he’d know his wife’s texting style enough to be a little more believable if he was going to pretend to be her for 2 weeks

Im guessing he was panicked and not thinking clearly.

Imagine finding out your daughter is pregnant, and that her whole family starts anticipating, and preparing for the arrival of a little keiki. Think about the joy of setting aside baby clothes, a crib, decorating, hearing the first heart beat, and naming this little child. Think of that miracle, that joy.

Then, imagine the beautiful mother and the baby allegedly butchered to the point where now the greatest hope is that there will be enough remains left to find and bury. That is a whole new level of evil. I believe mother and child are ma ka lima o Iesu, (in the arms of Jesus), but I will be praying for the devastation that has been left behind for the family to try to understand, and overcome.

Maybe that started the fight?

 

[rosesfromangels]

Maybe that started the fight?

Yes, most likely. I think the discussion might have gone deeper than infidelity, more towards illegal acts involving minors (if the allegations we have read about are true). Mischa may very well have threatened to contact authorities or his military superiors. This likely triggered what transpired after.

This is so disturbing, and sickening.

No updates since Wednesday that I can find?

The FB group Missing Mischa that included sister M and mom F went on hiatus "until Sept 10" & as of today 9/2 it is gone.

The mom F said 6 days ago "we will be off social media".

I hope this means something, that the CID is moving forward and they can mourn her loss. At this point they have yet to announce anything about her body.

Thanks for the update, @AnyNameIWish .
Prayers for Mischa's loved ones at this time.

Im not sure it does. There is a 'family ran' FB page now that has the family as admin. As of 5 hours ago (as I write this post) her sister was commenting about what the husband was doing once Mischa went missing. I'd like to share the post but I am not 100% sure it's allowed? It is a *family* owned FB page, but not sure on the rules.
