Mystery shrouds the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans found dead in their friend’s snowy backyard after a Jan. 7 NFL watch party.
Jordan Willis hosted the gathering in his Northwest 83rd Terrace home. After Ricky Johnson, 38, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and David Harrington, 37, were found dead on his property two days later, he reportedly told family members that his friends “froze to death,” a victim’s family member told FOX4 Kansas City.
Willis has since moved out of the home “in fear of retaliation,” according to his attorney John Picerno.
Willis is not considered a suspect and has not been charged with a crime – the Kansas City Police Department said last week that “this case is 100% not being investigated as a homicide,” and added on Friday that they “do not anticipate any additional information released prior to the findings of the medical examiner.
It is still the case that the ruling on the cause of death is the next piece to determine any needed additional investigative tasks,” Captain Jacob Becchina told Fox News Digital on Friday, adding that every major news outlet across the country had lodged at least one inquiry about the case with their communications department.
A spokesperson for Frontier Forensics Midwest, the private company contracted by Platte County to carry out autopsies, told Fox News that the results of the men’s toxicology reports will take 6 to 8 weeks to process, while their full autopsy reports won’t be released for another 10 to 12 weeks.
