Kansas City Chiefs fan found frozen to death’saw something they shouldn’t have,’ say parents.
The parents of one of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans discovered frozen to death outside their friend’s home feel their son’s death may have been more intentional than officials have revealed.
David Harrington, 37, was discovered dead outside his pal Jordan Willis’ house on January 9, two days after he had gone with his buddies to watch the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers in their last regular-season game.
Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were both discovered dead on the property.
Willis was unaware that the men were outside, according to his attorney, John Picerno. He had slept for nearly 48 hours after the game and only discovered the bodies when police arrived to do a welfare check.
While the victims’ relatives await the findings of their toxicology testing in the mystery deaths, Harrington’s father, Jon Harington, has indicated he is “not buying” Willis’ account of events.
Harrington’s mother] and I are both confident that Jordan Willis was involved in this in some way,” Jon Harrington told Fox News Digital on Thursday.
“We just haven’t worked it out yet. What else might it be? Perfectly healthy persons don’t just vanish off the face of the planet.”
There were four of you in the house, and three of them have died but you have not. “That doesn’t add up,” the father said. “I believe he and the three of them learned or saw something they shouldn’t have, and he decided, ‘Well, I need to get rid of you now.'” “Friends or not?”
Jon Harrington said he met with the Platte County Prosecutor’s Office, which is investigating the issue, but he believes they would dismiss their deaths as a drug overdose.
But I don’t believe it’s that straightforward,” he told the newspaper. “I am aware that they may have used questionable substances – but the goal was to get high, not die. If they were meant to be pals, why didn’t [Willis] come and locate them? I am sure they have a hundred different solutions, but that is my question.”
Jennifer Marquez, Harrington’s mother, said that her son smoked cigarettes and drank beer with his mates, but she did not believe he would overdose on narcotics.
“I believe something happened that night, and Jordan had a role in it,” Marquez told Fox. “We all believe that Jordan had something to do with that.”
She pointed out that Willis maintains he did not leave his house for two days, giving him plenty of time to “get rid of and clean up evidence.” She was also unhappy that he had not been required to take any drug or alcohol tests since the remains were discovered.
Marquez emphasized, “Jordan is not telling the truth.” “When you convey the truth, your story becomes solid. When you lie, your story alters, which is exactly what has been happening. I don’t understand why the police don’t notice that.”
Kansas City police have been clear that Willis is not suspected of any involvement, and the deaths are not being investigated as homicides. There have been no arrests made.
A fifth acquaintance who attended the meeting has also come forward, stating that when he left Willis’ house at midnight on Sunday, all four were alive and watching Jeopardy.
