Judge sentences bride to 30 years for Glacier Park murder

Judge sentences bride to 30 years for Glacier Park murder

10 hours ago | by Alice Miller, Kathryn Haake

Jordan Linn Graham will spend the next 30 years in prison for pushing her husband of eight days off a cliff – and to his death – in Glacier National Park.

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy sentenced the Kalispell woman to 365 months in federal prison Thursday, with no possibility of parole, for her admission to second-degree murder.

The sentence will be followed by five years of supervised release. During her incarceration, Graham is prohibited from directly or indirectly profiting from divulging information about the murder, Molloy stipulated.

Additionally, Graham must undergo mental health treatment, pay about $16,910 in restitution to defray the cost of recovering her husband’s body, and pay a $100 special assessment fee.
