U.S. Soldier In Custody After His Pregnant Wife Vanishes From Barracks

A U.S. Army soldier stationed in Hawaii was taken into custody on Monday in connection with the disappearance of his 19-year-old pregnant wife.

Mischa Johnson, 19, was last seen on July 31 at the couples home on Schofield Barracks, a U.S. Army installation on Oahu, according to the Armys Criminal Investigation Division . She was reported missing the following day and was six months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. 

The 25th Infantry Division announced on Monday that Johnsons husband, 28-year-old Private 1st Class Dewayne Arthur Johnson II, was taken into military pretrial confinement in Hawaii.

On Tuesday, Mischa Johnsons mother said on Facebook that Dewayne Johnson no longer is cooperating in the search for her daughter and asked anyone with information to call the Criminal Investigation Division. 

Marianna Tapiz, Mischa Johnsons sister, said in an Instagram post that all of Johnsons belongings, including her phone and wallet, were left at home when she disappeared. There was no doorbell camera footage that could help with the investigation, she added. 

Tapiz also told local news station KITV that her sister was excited about being pregnant and planned to name her daughter Armani Kitana. She said the couple got married in November and had no marital strife as far as she knew. 

They were very affectionate towards each other. PDA levels like through the roof, Tapiz told the outlet. I mean, they were all over each other. Its very concerning that hes the prime suspect.

Mischa Johnsons family didnt immediately respond to questions from HuffPost.
