The Kansas City Chiefs fan whose three friends were found dead in his backyard is “very depressed” and “devastated,” a source claimed.
David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were found dead in Jordan Willis' backyard in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 9th.
Police have not made any arrests and coroners have not yet released the cause of death. Results from toxicological reports are still pending.
However, an anonymous source close to the 38-year-old HIV scientist's family admitted that he was “devastated” at not being able to say goodbye or attend his friend's funerals – and that he was worried about makes the unfounded suspicion that he believes he is confronted with.
The source said Willis is “very depressed” as the “whole country” is speculating and accusing him of murdering his friends.

“Not only is the entire country accusing him at this point of murdering his friends without providing any factual details, evidence or charges, but he has also lost three close friends,” the source told Fox Nation.
“Due to the circumstances surrounding these wild speculations and allegations, he was unable to say goodbye or attend their funerals.”
“No one appears willing to wait for the results of the toxicology report or other facts from the police department on a case that is still under investigation to make these speculations.”
They further claimed that Willis' family only learned what happened after local news media contacted them.
The family did not know whether Willis was among those killed.
They also disputed claims that the scientist told people that his friends froze to death in his garden after police arrived at his home.
“What this story lacked was context.” “Not once did he say that his friends froze to death in front of anyone,” they added.

January 7: The three men go to Jordan Willis' home to watch the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers, which begins at 3:25 p.m. CT.
At some point during the night, Willis goes upstairs to sleep, leaving the three men and another unnamed man in his house.
January 8: Jordan Willis claims he didn't leave his house that day and therefore didn't notice the victims' cars were outside.
Relatives of the missing men try to contact Willis, but he does not respond.
January 9: Clayton McGeeney's fiancée breaks into the house and screams Willis' name after two days of no communication with her partner.
She finds one of the bodies on the back porch.

“He would never do anything in a million years.” “These were all good friends of his, these were all people he went to school with and took to a Chiefs football game the day before,” he said.
Speaking to the New York Post, Willis' father said he would “never in a million years” hurt his friends.
When pressed on inconsistencies in Willis' story, particularly the fact that one of the bodies appeared to have no jacket on when she left his house despite the freezing January weather that night, he said:
“They could have done that [gone] It was icy and cold out there that night. I don't know how many cars they came; there were three of them and there were only two cars left on the street.
“They could have decided for some reason that they wanted to go back into his house, people leave the house without coats all the time no matter how cold it is, so I can't respond to that statement.”
'[Jordan] doesn't know what happened to them and he never saw them again as they walked to the front door and left his house.
was also able to reveal the “fifth man” in the group photo as Alex Weamer-Lee.
He is a high school friend of the victims whose bodies were discovered two days after the January 7 gathering – but he says he left at midnight, after football had ended and everyone was still alive.
Weamer-Lee, who shortens his name to “Lee,” says he waved them off at 2 a.m. before sleeping on the couch and spending the next two days indoors, not remembering that their cars were still outside .
Lee, a 37-year-old flooring installer, lives in a rental house in another part of town. When arrived to ask him questions about the fateful night, a man who answered the intercom doorbell claimed he was not there and could not talk about January 7th.
The man added: “Alex is not here right now and is not handling media inquiries.”
