From your link :

"... Rogers explained that if the police find the body without their cooperation, they will have nothing to bargain with. .."

I'm somewhat hopeful they can find Matthew w/o any help.
His wife and both of her parents deserve to be locked up for good; imo.

I haven't read any more about the rooftop storage container. Was it found with the truck or is it still missing?
And does the truck offer any telematics, such as where it was driven?

Oh lordy that sounds like Skye is the attorney

I'm starting to wonder if he was concealed in water somewhere ?

 

[whitelilac]

I just read about this case. Unbelievable.

Knowing nothing, when I read that neighbors saw Johnson's truck backed into the garage when it was earlier parked facing the garage, I thought uh oh, he was probably killed in the home.

So now this monstrous woman will spend the rest of her days in prison, has lost her poor children, her lifestyle, her lover, ...everything. Can't these spouse killing people not just divorce and move on?
Woman isn't the brightest bulb either, murder was premeditated yet she sure didn't think !

Very sad for Matthew, RIP, and for the young children.

I'm starting to wonder if he was concealed in water somewhere ?

This has been my thought from the beginning. She doesn't seem like the digging type, and "shallow grave" could just as easily refer to shallow (boggy) water as dirt.

 

[KMouse]

I think the 'shallow grave' is a red herring. I can't see her digging a hole big enough for person. I think she dumped him somewhere and then covered him up or dumped him in water. Was the roof container found with the vehicle or is it missing too?
I don't understand the depravity of the parents nevermind their daughter. This is next level.
