After the unfortunate demise of three supporters of the Kansas City Chiefs, discovered frozen in a friend’s backyard, a girlfriend of one of the deceased suspects foul play, asserting that he may have been the victim of a “murder.”
David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, the individuals who tragically lost their lives, had gathered at the home of their friend Jordan Willis on January 7.
The alarming revelation unfolded when the fiancée of one of the victims sought a welfare check, prompting authorities to investigate the residence on NW 83rd Terrace.
As per Fox News Digital, one body was located on the back porch, whereas the remaining two were found in the backyard, succumbing to the severe cold conditions.

Willis, the friend who hosted the gathering at his rental property, remains in the dark about the cause of his friends’ deaths. His attorney, John Picerno, mentioned that Willis is eagerly awaiting the outcome of the pending autopsy and toxicology report.
Picerno clarified that the final interaction Willis had with his friends was when they departed from his residence, and he was oblivious to their whereabouts until law enforcement contacted him.
Despite the police asserting that the case is not being treated as a homicide with no suspected foul play, Lorie Kruse, the girlfriend of David Harrington, maintains her belief that her boyfriend was “murdered.”
Addressing Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, Kruse firmly stated, “David was killed. Those three individuals were killed.”
Despite the police assessment, Kruse maintains a steadfast belief that the events leading to the deaths lack coherence. She conveyed her disbelief at the notion of three men being discovered dead while Willis asserted to have been asleep for 48 hours.
According to the New York Post, Willis’ attorney had stated earlier that his client was asleep on the couch, positioned close to a loud fan, and had been wearing noise-canceling headphones for nearly two days.
Kruse cast doubt on the nature of the party, expressing that she had never heard Harrington discuss Willis in detail, despite the event being described as a gathering among friends.

She acknowledged hearing negative information about Willis but clarified, “I don’t know the truth in it… David has never had a conversation about Jordan.”
Amidst speculation regarding the deaths being drug-related, Kruse asserted that Harrington was not involved in such activities. She recounted a recent conversation with her children about drug awareness and the prevalence of fentanyl in the media. Kruse emphasized that even if the friends had consumed something in relation to drinking, Harrington would not have partaken in such substances.
While families await a toxicology report, Kruse underscored, “It doesn’t matter what the autopsy said.”
Pleading for empathy, she emphasized the profound impact on the families and friends left behind. “We have three guys, we have six children that don’t have a dad. We have families, we have friends, and we’re all hurting.”
