Summary
January, the Kansas City Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jordan Willis invites a couple of buddies to watch the game at his home. David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney arrive in time for the 3:25 p.m. CST time kickoff. After the game, Willis waves the guys off and crashes on the couch. Later, he heads to bed.
The next day, Willis says he didn't leave his home at all. That same day, the friends and family of David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney are concerned. The last they knew was that they were headed to Jordan Willis' house to watch the game but now, none of the guys, including Jordan Willis, are replying to messages on social media or by phone.
Tuesday, January 9, 9:51 p.m.: Clayton McGeeney’s fiancée shows up at the Willis' home. She sees the cars in the driveway and since nobody is answering the phone or replying to messages, She breaks into the home and screams Willis' name. She walks through the house, then looks on the back porch and sees a body.
Clayton McGeeney's fiancée calls police. They find Willis in his underwear with an empty glass of wine in hand, according to the victims' families. The other two bodies were then found in the backyard.
Jordan Willis tells police he has no idea what happened. Now the investigation continues, and charges could still be coming.
