A year has passed since three Kansas City Chiefs fans were found deceased in a snowy backyard after a game-day gathering, and their families are still searching for answers. Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington were discovered on January 9, 2023, behind the home of their friend, Jordan Willis, where they had watched a Chiefs game two days prior. The Platte County Prosecutor's Office confirms an ongoing investigation, but families report no significant updates, expressing frustration and heartbreak.
While preliminary autopsy findings indicated the presence of fentanyl, cocaine, and marijuana in the men's systems, families have questioned Willis's role in the events, with some considering legal action. Willis's attorney maintains his client has been cleared of any wrongdoing related to harming the men. However, legal experts suggest that such assurances from a prosecutor's office during an active investigation are unusual. Despite earlier expectations of imminent charges, Willis's attorney now reports the case remains under investigation. The delay in resolving the case raises questions about the direction of the investigation and the availability of complete autopsy results. The lack of public information from the authorities fuels speculation and frustrates the families. While acknowledging the possibility of ongoing information gathering, legal experts note that cases can remain unsolved. The families may pursue civil litigation to uncover information not revealed in the criminal investigation, seeking both accountability and answers in their sons' deaths.
