Kansas City Chiefs fans' mysterious deaths yet to be resolved a year later

Following the disappearance of three Kansas City Chiefs fans earlier this year, there are still no definitive answers as to what led to their deaths in a snowy backyard. Law enforcement has not made any arrests related to the incident.

The three individuals, Clayton McGeeney (37), Ricky Johnson (38), and David Harrington (36), had gone to Jordan Willis’ residence in Kansas City on January 7, 2024, to watch a Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

It was only two days later that McGeeney’s fiancée discovered the lifeless bodies of the three friends on Willis’ premises. Concerningly, Willis was unreachable by phone and remained unresponsive when attempts were made to contact him in the following days, as family members desperately searched for the missing trio who never made it home.

Although preliminary autopsy results shared with the media by family members indicate that fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana were in their systems, the deceased men’s families have questioned Willis’ involvement in what happened, with some threatening to file lawsuits.

In September, Willis’ attorney John Picerno told Fox News Digital that “charges [will be] forthcoming in the next few weeks,” based on “internal conversations” with prosecutors.

Although he is “confident” that his client will avoid criminal prosecution, Picerno said in September that civil action is likely on his horizon. He said he has been contacted by attorneys representing the men’s families and noted that the statute of limitations on these types of cases is five years in Missouri.

Jennifer Marquez, David Harrington’s mother, told Fox News Digital that this is “the first [she’s] heard” of movement in the case. Until she hears further news from the prosecutor’s office, she said she will “keep [herself] calm and not get any hopes up.”

“Of course I am extremely happy to hear that there may be something going on,” she said on Tuesday.

“I have not been told anything,” she continued. “They just have not relayed any information to us, the families, though, so I have nothing as far as information. We’ve not been getting the autopsies or any information like that. They do not want us to be able to release anything that would hurt the case, I guess.”

“Of course, I would love to see people held responsible for this and I believe Jordan should be held responsible,” Marquez said. “It was his home, he had the party, and, you know.”

Willis, who moved out of his Kansas City home and enrolled into a rehabilitation program after his friends’ deaths, has had his “life changed forever,” Picerno said.

“It’s an awful thing when people have already presumed you’re guilty without real evidence,” Picerno said. “It’s a tough row to hoe, and he’s managing it as best he can.”

A source close to the Willis family told Fox News Digital that the 39-year-old Ph.D. holder and research scientist “still struggles with the aftermath of all of this.”

“[He] not only lost good friends of his, but [had] many people turn on him,” the source said. 

“It affected every part of his life, and he’s doing the best he can,” the source continued. “He has been helping with his dad’s care this year, and trying to stay positive.”
