The family of missing woman Mischa Johnson is requesting video footage of her husband’s vehicle from the days leading up to her disappearance.
Johnson, 19, was reported missing from her home on Schofield Army Barracks in Honolulu on July 31.
Her husband, 28-year-old Private First Class Dewayne Arthur Johnson II, was arrested in the case on August 19.
He is facing charges of providing false statements, obstruction of justice and production and distribution of child pornography.

There have allegedly been multiple reported sightings of a red Mustang parked on the side of Kamehameha Highway, south of Dole Plantation near Poamoho stream bridge, between July 14 and 19. The location is about two miles north of Schofield Barracks.
Frances Tapiz-Andrian, Mischa Johnson’s mother, told KHON2 that Dewayne Arthur Johnson II owns a 2019 red Mustang with a Hawaii National Park license plate.
“So, if the car was there, he might have disposed the body there or did something there,” she told the outlet.
Mischa Johnson’s family say the last time they saw her was on July 11. They also claimed that investigators uncovered evidence that led them to believe that Mischa is dead, but that statement has not been verified by authorities.
Anyone who has footage is asked to contact Always Always Support Local at 808-829-1307. The organization is also hosting a search on Wednesday beginning at the Dole Plantation.
Mischa Johnson is described as a Filipino woman with brown hair and brown eyes. She is around 5-foot-2 and weighs around 170 pounds. She was around six months pregnant and she has a large dragon tattoo on her back.
A neutral officer has been assigned to Dewayne Arthur Johnson II’s criminal case, a spokesperson for the U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel told Newsweek. The officer will set a date for his preliminary hearing.
“After the preliminary hearing, the officer will make recommendations regarding the appropriate disposition of the case,” the spokesperson said. “This preliminary hearing is required before charges can be referred for trial by general court-martial pursuant to Article 32 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

“This case remains an active investigation,” Michelle McCaskill, Office of Special Trial Counsel spokesperson, previously said in a press release obtained by Newsweek. “We are confident that law enforcement will exhaust all efforts to find Mischa and the likelihood of additional charges is certainly a possibility as the case develops.”
