The suspense surrounding the unanticipated deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs supporters, found frozen outside their friend’s residence, thickens as the bereaved families voice their doubts over the official reports.
The heart-rending incident occurred outside the dwelling of Jordan Willis, a fellow enthusiast, following the last regular-season game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
A Timeline of Unveiling Tragedy
On an unfortunate day in January, the lifeless bodies of David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney were discovered on Willis’ property.
The trio, aged 36 to 38, had attended the Kansas City Chiefs’ game two days prior to their grim discovery.
Willis, oblivious to the tragedy unfolding outside his home, was reportedly asleep for nearly 48 hours post the game.
The revelation of the bodies occurred during a welfare check conducted by the police.
As the victims’ families eagerly anticipate their toxicology reports, the narrative spun by Willis seems less credible to Jon Harrington, David’s father.
Families Express Doubts
Jon Harrington remains skeptical of Willis’ recounting of the events, stating, “I’m not buying Willis’ version of what happened.”
He further voiced his suspicion towards Willis’s involvement in the tragic incident, “Perfectly healthy men don’t just drop off the face of the Earth.”
The unsettling situation where three out of four men in the house were deceased raised further doubts.
He suspects that the trio might have accidentally stumbled upon a secret, leading to their unexpected demise.
Jon Harrington has shared his suspicions with the Platte County Prosecutor’s Office, who are currently investigating the case.
However, he fears that the officials might oversimplify the case as a mere drug overdose.
The Unanswered Questions
Jennifer Marquez, Harrington’s mother, also shared her disbelief about her son overdosing on drugs.
While acknowledging her son’s fondness for beer and cigarettes, she strongly believes that Willis had a role to play in the incident.
She pointed out the ample time Willis had to remove any potential evidence, given his claim of not leaving his home for two days.
She expressed her concerns stating, “When you tell the truth, your story is solid. It’s when you’re lying that your story changes, and that’s what’s been happening. I don’t understand why the police don’t see that.”
The Officials’ Stand
The Kansas City police, however, staunchly defend Willis, insisting that he is not suspected of any wrongdoing and that the deaths are not being investigated as a homicide.
No arrests have been made in connection with the case.
The Fifth Witness
An unnamed fifth friend, who was present at the gathering, has come forward stating that when he left Willis’ home around midnight Sunday, all four were alive and watching “Jeopardy!”
Willis’ Position
Willis, a senior principal scientist at IAVI Neutralizing Antibody Center’s Schief Lab in Kansas City, holds a PhD.
He has reportedly moved from his rental home due to fear of “retaliation.”
His attorney, John Picerno, stated that Willis allowed officers to search his home.
The Other Side of the Coin
Contrary to the parents’ beliefs, the Kansas City Police Department has clarified that they do not suspect foul play.
The officials are awaiting autopsy and toxicology reports to shed light on the mysterious incident.
Willis’ attorney, John Picerno, dismissed the suspicions as baseless allegations stemming from the grieving parents’ struggle to comprehend the tragedy.
