The 22-year-old Kalispell woman charged with killing her newlywed husband in Glacier National Park last summer is now in Alabama.

U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy sentenced Jordan Graham on March 27 to 30 years for the death of Cody Johnson, 25.

Graham has been in custody in Missoula since she entered a guilty plea in December for pushing Johnson off a cliff along the Loop Trail near the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that Graham has been moved to a low security federal correctional institution in Aliceville, Ala. The facility includes an adjacent minimum security satellite camp with about 1,400 female inmates.

Graham is appealing her sentence to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court is expected to consider her case later this summer.
