A newly wed Montana woman was taken under custody following her admission to shoving her new hubby off a cliff just over a week into their marriage.

According to court papers, Jordan Linn Graham, who was charged with Cody Johnson's death on in a federal court, was having "second thoughts about their marriage," the BBC reported.

The documents further stated that during a heated argument, Johnson grabbed Graham's arm but due to her anger she shoved him, and he fell face first off the cliff.

Authorities said that 22-year-old Graham had initially lied about the incident and had reported her spouse missing the next day.

 

The real story came to light after Johnson's family called for an investigation following the discovery of his body below a steep viewpoint known as the Loop, in Glacier National Park.
