**Parents of Woman Accused of Killing Husband Arrested for Alleged Obstruction**

The parents of Jennifer Gledhill, a woman charged with the murder of her husband, Matthew Johnson, have been arrested for allegedly obstructing justice. Official records indicate that Thomas and Rosalie Gledhill are accused of lying to authorities, participating in the cleanup of the crime scene, and disposing of evidence, according to ksl.com.

Johnson, a member of the Utah National Guard, was found dead under circumstances that led to the arrest of his wife. Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill recently highlighted these charges in a statement, where it was revealed that Jennifer Gledhill allegedly confided in an informant about the murder. According to the informant, Gledhill admitted to shooting her husband while he slept on September 21, 2024.

Details from a press release further elaborate on the incident. Gledhill reportedly managed to move her husband's body by placing it in a rooftop storage container, sliding it down the stairs, and then loading it into the family's minivan. She allegedly disposed of the body by burying it in a shallow grave after hiding Johnson's truck and smashing his phone. The informant noted seeing bruises on Gledhill's body, which she attributed to the effort of transporting and concealing her husband's body.

Moreover, a neighbor provided crucial information to the police, stating that she witnessed Gledhill's parents cleaning their daughter's house on September 24, 2024, and observed them not leaving until 11 p.m. Despite this, when questioned, Rosalie Gledhill claimed she was only there for an hour, while Thomas Gledhill said he couldn't remember specific details of that day but acknowledged his brief presence at the home.

The involvement of Gledhill's parents significantly complicates the case as they face serious charges for allegedly attempting to hinder the investigation into Johnson’s death.
