Family members of one of the three men found dead in a classmate’s backyard in Kansas City are looking to start their own investigation into the mysterious deaths.
Friends and family of Ricky Johnson, 38, have started a GoFundMe to raise funds to hire a private investigator and lawyers so that they can look into how he and his friends, David Harrington, 37, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, died last month.
The family says the money will also go towards funeral costs and to help out Johnson’s three young children.
“We are asking for donations to help us cover the costs of Ricky’s unexpected funeral and burial costs, help hiring a private investigator as well as a lawyer and any court costs we may run into along the way,” writes Johnson’s father Rick. “We also still want to be able to support our grandchildren who are now without their dad.”
The three men had been at a classmate’s house after watching the Kansas City Chiefs football game on Jan. 7 when they went missing.
The classmate renting the house, Jordan Willis, claims through his lawyer John Picerno that he last saw the men shortly after midnight on Jan. 8 when he went to bed while the three men were still at his home.
