A Utah woman accused of killing her National Guardsman husband last fall was denied bond last week after a judge last month ordered her to stand trial.

Jennifer Gledhill waived a preliminary hearing and pleaded not guilty in the death of Matthew Johnson, whose body has not been found.

Prosecutors entered into evidence on Friday a phone call she made to the man with whom she was allegedly having an affair — the motive behind the slaying — in which she apologized to him for telling him she had shot her husband in his sleep, put his body into a storage container that she loaded in her minivan and drove away.

The man told police about the initial confession. In the new conversation, Gledhill tells the man to “not think of her as a monster” and to “remember her for who she was before she opened her mouth.” When the man told her was now afraid of her, she told him that broke her heart.

She also told him her husband “just — he is — he’s not a person. He wasn’t a person anymore. He wasn’t Matt anymore,” according to prosecutor Emily Paulos.

Other evidence introduced on Friday included phone tracking datea that showed Gledhill traveling from her home on September 21 to a location when Johnson’s truck was found. GPS data also showed that on September 22, she travelled north from her home toward Davis County, where a starge container was found that contained Johnson’s blood inside.

GPS data also put Gledhill at a location in Davis County where a mattress from the couple’s home was found, along with pillows wrapped in a rug.

Other DNA evidence located Johnson’s blood on a rug and other areas inside the bedroom where he was allegedly sleeping when he was murdered.

Gledhill’s attorney laughed and joked with her before the hearing and then asked for bond, but Judge Adam Mow agreed with prosecutors that she would pose a “substantial danger” to the communify if she were released.
