The marriage lasted barely eight days. A woman named Jordan Graham was 22 when she took her husband, Cody Johnson, to a remote area of Glacier National Park in Montana during an argument. There, as she eventually admitted, she pushed him with both hands off a cliff more than 60 meters high and ended his life.
The reason? According to what came out during the investigation, Jordan said the idea of being intimate with him caused her physical revulsion and that she was already having doubts about the marriage just days after getting married.
But the worst came afterward. After Cody’s disappearance, Jordan pretended not to know anything, lied to the police, and even took part in the search for her own husband as if she were also desperate to find him.
The story began to fall apart when investigators found inconsistencies in her account and she finally confessed what had happened. According to the prosecution, she had panicked over the marriage and decided to end everything in the worst way possible.
The case had a huge impact in the United States precisely because of how absurd and dark the whole story was. They went from a wedding to a murder in just over a week.
Jordan Graham was ultimately sentenced to 30 years in prison for second-degree murder. And yes, what was supposed to be a honeymoon ended up becoming one of the most disturbing marriage-related cases of recent years.
