Additional Coverage:
Three weeks ago, three Kansas City fans gathered to watch a football game and never returned home. Their bodies were later discovered in the backyard of their friend’s home. The friend, Jordan Willis, denies any knowledge of their deaths, but one victim’s brother believes he is withholding information. Police have not determined the cause of death, but they have not found any evidence of foul play. The investigation has gained attention on social media, even without concrete information.
The victims, Ricky Johnson, Clayton McGeeney, and David Harrington, went to Willis’ home to watch the game. Two nights later, McGeeney’s fiancĂ©e found a dead body on the back porch and two more in the backyard. Police reported no signs of foul play. Johnson’s brother believes there is more to the story and doesn’t accept that his brother froze to death. Police maintain that they have no evidence of a crime.
Investigators have not ruled out drugs or alcohol as a factor in the deaths. The low temperature that night was around 33 degrees Fahrenheit. The cause of death is still pending, and police are waiting for a ruling from Frontier Forensics, a private company. It could take six or more weeks for toxicology reports to be completed. Willis, the homeowner, has cooperated with the investigation and denies any involvement in the deaths.
The delay in determining the cause of death and not naming Willis as a suspect has fueled speculation on social media. Family members of the victims have expressed frustration and desire for justice. However, the police have stated that it may take weeks before they can provide definitive answers.
