Police allege Matthew Johnson, whose body has not been founds, was killed by his wife. Now new information, available through unsealed search warrants, show Jennifer Gledhill asked her father for $13,000 just days before the suspected murder. It's not known what the money was for. Thomas Gledhill, according to court documents, used Venmo to transfer $1000 to his daughter the same day as the request. Matthew Johnson serves in the military as a National Guardsman in the Special Ops Unit. He takes a brief leave of absence as the children return to school. On the day Johnson is set to return to work, his wife, Jennifer Gledhill, reports him missing. She tells police he should have been home from base hours earlier, but his phone is going straight to voicemail. It turns out Johnson never showed up to work that morning. Jennifer says she last saw him driving away from their home. The last time anyone other than Jennifer saw Johnson was three days before he was reported missing, at a neighborhood gas station. Neighbors recall seeing his truck and hearing him and Gledhill arguing late into the night. The next day, Johnson’s communication, even with his children, stopped entirely. As police search for him, they find his truck ten days later, parked less than a mile from a million-dollar home. The truck is locked and has gas in the tank. Nothing appears out of place inside, but none of Johnson’s belongings are found. Investigators begin processing the truck for evidence. Neighbors report last seeing the truck in his driveway the day he disappeared. During the investigation, police discover that Johnson and Gledhill were in the midst of a contentious divorce after ten years of marriage. Gledhill initiated the split in July, with proceedings set to be finalized by the end of October. She claims she is afraid of Johnson and says he had been violent toward her in the past. Cottonwood Heights police had visited the family’s home several times for domestic disputes. A temporary restraining order was issued, but Gledhill needed to prove abuse for a permanent one. She provided video and text messages as evidence in her fight for the permanent order. One video showed Johnson calmly cleaning up broken glass from a family photo. Court Commissioner Russell Minas denied the permanent order, ruling there was no evidence of abuse. He described the relationship as highly dysfunctional, with both parties equally confrontational, and noted that Gledhill did not seem afraid of Johnson. The commissioner suggested the restraining order request was a litigation tactic in the ongoing divorce. Five days after Johnson was reported missing, Cottonwood Heights police received a call from one of Gledhill’s friends. The friend claimed that Gledhill had called them before reporting Johnson missing, offering a very different story. According to the friend, Gledhill said she killed her husband and disposed of his body. Joining Nancy Grace today: Sgt.

This week ends with more explosive testimony in the government’s case against disgraced rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. Judge Arun Subramanian threatened to remove Combs from the courtroom during the lunch break before “Jane” testified, stating he saw Combs nodding at the jury twice while his attorneys cross-examined an earlier witness. The judge warned that any further attempts to influence jurors could lead to Combs being ejected. Combs’ ex-girlfriend, testifying under the pseudonym “Jane,” broke down on the stand as she described drug-fueled sex marathons. She said Combs ignored her when she tried to stop and mocked her for crying after one encounter. Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, a graphic designer and friend of Cassie Ventura who is also suing Combs, testified Wednesday that Combs once held her over a 17-story-high balcony at a Los Angeles high-rise for 10 to 15 seconds in 2016. She said the incident left her deeply traumatized.

Jurors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial heard testimony from a witness who alleged the disgraced music mogul dangled her over a balcony, and she feared he would drop her. Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a designer and friend of Cassie Ventura Fine, alleged Combs held her over a 17-story-high balcony. She testified the rapper then threw her onto balcony furniture, leaving her with a bruise on the back of her leg and pain in her neck and back. Brendan Paul, a 25-year-old basketball player from Ohio, amateur music producer, and graduate of Fairmont State University in West Virginia, is accused of being a “drug mule” for Combs, his employer. Paul was arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport as he attempted to board a private jet with Combs. During a lunch break, the judge addressed Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, and alleged that Combs was trying to influence jurors by nodding at them during Bongolan’s testimony. Prosecutors then called a woman to the stand who was allegedly trafficked by the hip-hop mogul as recently as last year. The witness, who will testify under the pseudonym “Jane,” began her testimony.
