LITTLE FALLS – A Little Falls man accused of killing his wife last February is due on trial this week.
Thirty-one years old Jonathan Gray Blood is on two counts of second degree murder due to the death of his wife on February 6th. His trial is due to begin on Monday morning with the selection of witnesses.
Morrison County court records claim Greyblood admitted investigators to strangling the 37-year-old Jeanine Graublut to death and threw her body under a bridge.
According to the criminal complaint, Jonathan Greyblood called the police early in the morning to report his wife missing. He said the two had an argument after leaving a friend’s house and getting out of the car.
Greyblood told police at the time that his wife had told him to go home and get her coat as she was going to a friend’s house. The husband said he did and when he came back she could not be found.
When the searchers continued to search for Jeanine Greyblood the next day, her husband was taken to the police station to make a second testimony.
Records show that he admitted the two had quarreled. He said his wife yelled at and hit him. He claimed they were in their vehicle in the driveway when he put his hands around her throat to defend himself and she squeezed until she went limp.
Greyblood allegedly claimed he started CPR but it was unsuccessful and she died.
The complaint said he told investigators he panicked and then drove them to the Swan River Bridge on Great River Road south of Little Falls and disposed of her body.
Police then drove to the location and found Jeanine Greyblood’s body on the ice under the bridge.
The trial is said to take two weeks.
