Mischa Johnson, 19 years old and six months pregnant at the time of her disappearance, was last seen inside her home at Schofield Barracks, O’ahu, Hawaii, on July 31. Her disappearance was reported to the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) the following day. Army CID has been partnering with local law enforcement agencies while investigating the disappearance and has offered a $10,000 reward for information regarding the case.
CID officials described Mischa Johnson as a Filipino woman who is 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds, and has a large dragon tattoo on her back.
Dewayne Johnson, from Frederick, Maryland, enlisted in the Army in November 2022 and attended One Station Unit Training at Fort Moore, Georgia. He has been assigned to the 25th Infantry Division as a Cavalry Scout since June, 2023.
“Our efforts remain focused on locating Mischa, support to her family, and the safety and security of all personnel at US Army Hawaii installations,” Army officials said in a statement. “This is a current and ongoing investigation and no further information is available at this time. We encourage anyone who may have information regarding Mischa Johnson to contact CID.”
