In July 2013, the newly married and usually prompt Cody Johnson, failed to turn up for work.

The search for Cody would lead officers closer to home that anyone could have imagined...

I think she just wanted a wedding, but forget about everything else that comes with getting married. Like being a wife, having sex with your husband, maybe babies etc. Then reality hit and she thought, i dont want this, but her pride and thought of ending it was too shameful. Didnt want the shame of being divorced (religion may have not allowed it), and thought she could get away with murder instead.

As a woman, we're often sold short. I can understand how Jordan felt if this sad excuse of a man didn't turn out to be what he appeared to be. Note how he was abusive after they got married. While I don't think she should have killed him, she is not to blame for wanting to end the marriage. She also is not solely to blame for the her husband's death, I hope her jail term gets reduced.

For me, it simply feels too far-fetched, too difficult, & even too unbelievable, to think a frequent church goer with deeply felt religious/Christian beliefs… would actually kill, as she did, without any solid reasoning or an ounce of mercy.

I’m religious .. & still, I never understood the whole “let me kill them because divorce isn’t an option!” motive smh

[@violetmartha916]

His poor mum. That vile creature who killed him in such an horrific way...may she rot in prison. Rest in peace Cody. 💕🙏🏼💕

[@rosalynrose3747]

I feel this young bride was not comfortable with the sexual component of her marriage. Maybe she had past sexual trauma in her past that was never dealt with. I'm sure her husband would of taken it slow until she was comfortable. She could of just left him and had the marriage annulled. She didn't have to kill him.

[@Fiona_Interrupted]

💯

[@SAAmanat]

This is a good theory.

[@whcles436]

I agree with this

[@lc86_65]

Or maybe she just didn't love him and couldn't be physical with him. Still, he suggested to get the marriage annulled, didn't force her on anything. He seemed to be a good man and she ended his life! A total psychopath...

[@BusyBody704]

I agree 100%.

[@justjonni9330]

I feel many women today would've swapped places to have Cody as a husband knowing how it's damn near *impossible* to find a kindred spirit like him… 😢 wishing I had met him 1st!

[@heytam7162]

Such a tragedy. I have heard of this case before, Jordan looks so sweet & gentle to think of what she was capable of doing to another person is truly sickening 😢 Your delivery is second to none, thank you again for bringing us another case in detail & with compassion.

[@deyadna]

This makes me scared even more to marry someone, you never know what someone capable of in a tight position.

[@Erica_S_McClaine_]

Most of the cases you cover, I haven’t heard of. This case, I was aware of. But even if I am familiar with a case you’re covering, I still really enjoy watching. You do a great job! You research the cases well. And you’re always very respectful to the victims, and their families. Thank you for the amazing content. 🖤💜 On a side note, I’ll never understand the logic in, and how anyone can really think that a annulment, or divorce will ruin their reputation. But murdering someone won’t??!!🙄 That’s beyond ridiculous! Reminds me of the Sabrina Limon case. She thought it would be a sin, and ruin her good name to divorce her husband. But it was ok to conspire with and talk the man she was having an affair with into murdering her husband. She obviously couldn’t careless about her two young children. I think they’re just evil, and cold hearted, with a lot of stupid mixed in! The girl in this case is just psycho! Why not just call the wedding off?! 🙄

[@leviathanmg]

These types are immature to begin with. Her ridiculous murder plot made perfect sense in her head until reality bit her in the ass. Even her sixteen-year-old brother was perplexed by her lies. She's a womanchild who wanted to be a princess. I just keep thinking about Cody being his mother's only child as I am an only child myself.

[@catandrobbyflores]

I think in regards to this case her upbringing could have made her think that an annulment or divorce was something to be ashamed of.

[@teresawelter7530]

She didn't want to be the "sinful" divorced woman, she wanted to be the poor young widow. How people are able to distance themselves so far from their actions to achieve this is beyond me...

[@lilyt18]

She’s stupid and delusional, clearly.

[@donnawentz2221]

@@catandrobbyflores What church did they go to? She talked about it being strict. Just curious 🤨

[@annieseaside]

This is by far the finest version I’ve heard on this case. In no other did they even hint at a motive. For whatever reason, between making a mistake marrying and hating their lovemaking I finally understand. She is a loathsome indivifual. My heart goes out to his loved ones especially his Mom. I have only one child, a 23 year old son and nothing on earth could be worse than burying my only child and so young. RIP🙏🏻

[@elizabethgrogan8553]

I saw a video on this a few years ago, but it was very poorly researched. I'm so glad I found your channel in recommended, because your presentation is excellent. I have what's called fear of heights. It's more than fear though. Being at height makes my physically ill and causes lightheadedness, although I love flying and looking out the windows. Cody would never have willingly stepped out on that ledge, especially with his eyes covered. I think she pushed him and threw the black fabric with him. All she had to do was end the relationship.

[@ellybean5868]

She wanted the fairy tale wedding, and to be the beautiful bride, but didn't want the marriage.

[@FiveRiversCity]

Jordan's chilling body language and disturbing affect remind me of a certain ex-wife currently being sued for defamation in a Virginia court room! My heart breaks for Cody's Mother. He was an only child. Impossible to get over such a terrible loss.

Heard about this case in another video, i really feel so sorry for the guy. He seems such a nice and kind fellow. She could have just talked to him rather than killed him.

[@zelilee5312]

Strange girl, makes no sense what she did, there must be more to this story cause what I’m getting is that she tried so many ways to refuse sex with him (though they’re married) and ran out of ideas so she killed him. Too bizarre.

[@redrumtruecrime]

I know of this awful case and I'm certain she lured him to the ledge with the promise of consummating the marriage. She'd even brought something to blindfold him with (something his friends and family were certain he'd never be so reckless to wear at such dangerous circumstances). In the wedding video she is so cold toward him, acting like she's been 'forced' into marrying a stranger, rather than a man she knew for a lengthy time. Observing their first dance they reminded me of a pair of teenagers at a school disco. She was totally rigid and he was not sensing this is not normal behaviour of a new bride. Jordan had dreaded having intimate relations with Cody and he was so patiently abiding her 'no sex before marriage' rule. Of course the excuse not to be intimate was now null and void. So the false excuse of 'periods' began. Strangely enough the time they went to the National Park would've coincided with her "period" ending (and I'm sure Cody was counting the days down from their wedding night) so what 'surprise ' could get him to climb over a safety wall, edge along a precipice then allow Jordan to blindfold him?? SEX......She promised him SEX at the place he really wanted to visit. Pity he didn't throw her over, he sounded to be a lovely man, the sort hard to find and impossible to 'replace'. RIP Cody ❤

[@jessicalightwarrior7276]

Very well said, agreed. RIP Cody!

[@redrumtruecrime]

@@jessicalightwarrior7276 As Jordan came from an "over religious" family, she'd probably had it drummed into her that sex was a dirty thing that you only did (in missionary position) in order to get pregnant. Any other times an over amorous partner crept up on you, then it was your responsibility to reject any such advances firmly and resort to separate beds and/or rooms! Growing up with that sort of programming of 'sex is a sin' can easily sway one's mind into believing that murder is far less sinful, and of course solves the whole religious stigma surrounding divorce! Jordan certainly doesn't stand alone on this matter. There's many many cases of highly religious couples that murder their spouse so they save face around their church community, and then they can marry the person they've been screwing around with, committing adultery! (I found there are a lot of Mormons involved in such cases - again highly religious. No disrespect to any Mormons, but there are a large percentage of spouses serving time for killing their partner and doing a 'switch ' for a newer model!) Gotta hand it to Jordan though, statistics show that spousal murder is commonly committed by the husband. Jordan has upped the score (so to speak) on that one. (Because she's a heartless damaged POS )

[@jessicalightwarrior7276]

@@redrumtruecrime that is speculation at best, but I do agree she lured him with that promise. Unacceptable! Glad there is justice for Cody.

[@redrumtruecrime]

@@the.meandering👍 no she was a virgin who dreaded the idea of losing it. The "oh I've started my period" was her excuse for the wedding night and I suppose for the next 5 days. By the time she lured him onto the cliff was about right for coinciding with her (imaginary) period ending, so Cody would've been trying to persuade her to 'get on with it!' I suppose. All the time he dated her they were totally celibate due to her "no sex before marriage" rule - which Cody accepted but to hear her "period started" story as soon as they get into the privacy of the hotel room, I would imagine that bursting his bubble! All day at the wedding she had a face like a slapped A$$, crying and blubbering everywhere. Then she stands as far away from him as she possibly can (which he must have wondered wtf is going on with her?) She gives him the cold shoulder treatment from the time he first set eyes on her until days later when suddenly, whilst he's in the company of both his friends, Jordan sends him a text which picks his ears up, makes him grin again and gives him a bit of his swagger back! He's intrigued and kinda seduced about "the surprise " . He gets the impression Jordan is ready to consummate their marriage and he heads home‼️ His best mates are hoping he doesn't get let down again, they found the text suspicious due to the complete turnaround of opinion by Jordan‼️. They never saw Cody again❤

[@TheThora17]

Yeppers. She killed him because of her ignorance and selfishness. She deserved a lengthier sentence…

[@loveforeignaccents]

First of all, RIP to poor, young Cody. And absolutely not fair that this disgrace only gets 30 years for taking his life, not to mention in a federal prison, which is basically like a country club. She will be, I believe, 53 when she gets out and will probably have at least another 20 good years to live her life. I hope karma catches up with her. Also, I have no idea what the point was to try to end up changing her plea from not guilty... wouldn't she have to face an actual trial then for the first-degree murder again, as the prosecution would have put that back on the table since she wanted to renege from her plea deal?! Anyhow, thanks for the video, sisters... never heard of this case before. Another stellar job for the books! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

[@sirgerbilmacintosh9101]

If you murder someone and don't want to get caught, literally walking people to the body is never a good idea.

[@i-work-at-enron]

I'm laughing at how bad that courtroom sketch at 22:25 is

[@taydestiny38]

Prosecutors were weak accepting the plea deal. They had her in their crosshairs and could’ve gotten her life. There’s no way she should ever be released back into society. Also, how hard is it to just get a marriage annulled?

[@eadweard.]

She would have likely been acquitted and served no time at all.

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@eadweard. And what are you basing that on?

[@alexandrazakos528]

@@eadweard. based on what exactly?

[@eadweard.]

@@loveforeignaccents They would have needed to prove prior intent for first degree, as opposed to it being some that happened on the spur of the moment, as the result of say an argument or fight. There wasn't any evidence that could demonstrate as much beyond a reasonable doubt.

[@loveforeignaccents]

@@eadweard. I think the texts to Kimberly would have sufficed, especially the "if you don't hear from me tonight, something happened", as well as her obviously regretting her decision on their wedding day with her uncontrollable crying and obviously not due to joy. And post the death, her behavior at his wake, not showing any emotion, lying to the police would have all tied into her being convicted of first-degree murder in my eyes, as well as the witnesses' testimony in that regard. EDIT: Also, not to mention, he had to cancel out plans with a few others that day due to her having a "surprise" for him. It all adds up, she knew what she was going to do.

Two things make your channel stand out as they are really professional in my estimation: 1. Script. You select interesting background information, and you carefully choose your words. 2. Narration.

[@NikkiC777]

It is so dumb when criminals say that they have received calls, or made calls to a person, who is missing, or use their phone or phone calls, in any sort of alibi or story, because the police can so easily verify all that information. Also when they bring their own phone along with them when they are committing a crime. It is like giving the police a map right to where the evidence is.
