The puzzling case of the three friends found frozen to death in the backyard of Kansas City Chief's watch party takes a new turn as a fifth individual, yet to be publicly named, comes forward with crucial details about their final hours.
The group, including David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton Mcin, had gathered at Jordan Willis's Kansas City rental on January 7th to watch their Hometown team's last regular season game. The unnamed fifth person, represented by Attorney John Pierno, revealed that when he left the gathering around midnight, Willis and the other three friends were still awake, watching Jeopardy.
Contradicting Pierno's earlier statement, this version of events indicates that the trio was still alive in the early hours of Monday. The fifth individual arrived at the house at about 7:00 p.m. and stressed that he was not the last person to see Harrington, Johnson, and Mcin alive before the tragic incident.
Attorney Andrew Talge, representing the unnamed individual, stated that his client received a text from Mcin's fiancée and Johnson's mother, expressing concerns about their loved ones. The client then texted Willis and Johnson but received no reply.
The discrepancy in accounts raises questions about the sequence of events leading up to the unfortunate discovery of the bodies on January 9th.
The timeline presented by Talge conflicts with Pierno's insistence that Willis sought out his friends at the end of the night and then went to sleep on his couch, remaining unaware of the tragedy unfolding in his backyard for two days.
Pierno declined to comment on the disparity, and as the investigation unfolds, the Kansas City Police Department awaits autopsy and toxicology results. Captain Jake Beck China has emphasized that the incident is not being investigated as a homicide, providing a mysterious backdrop to the unfolding tragedy.
