The Army has preferred murder charges against a Hawaii-based cavalry scout soldier whose pregnant wife went missing this summer, according to the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Office of Special Trial Counsel, a wing of the military that prosecutes serious crimes, charged Pfc. Dewayne Arthur Johnson II on Tuesday with the murder of Mischa Mabeline Kaalohilani Johnson. She was last seen in her home on Schofield Barracks, the home of the 25th Infantry Division, on July 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson, who was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division, was also charged with killing Mischa Johnson\u2019s unborn child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson was initially charged on Aug. 27, with making false official statements, obstruction of justice and the production and distribution of child pornography, but this is the first time he has been charged in the murder of his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
