Harrington, 37, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and Ricky Johnson, 38, were found frozen and dead behind their longtime friend Jordan Willis’ home on January 9, two days after they were all last seen alive inside the house watching the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers.
Johnson’s father, Ricky Johnson Sr., told Fox News Digital that the Kansas City Police Department had assigned his son’s case to their drug task force. “That’s my fear, it won’t happen… it’s so hard not knowing anything – like not hearing anything.”
“I think they need to arrest the guy and get him to talk,” the elderly Johnson stated on Thursday. “My attorney told me to give more time [for police] to finish the investigation – [I’m] not pleased but I’ll wait a little longer.”
A source close to homeowner Jordan Willis shared the frustration of the deceased men’s families:
This has been so traumatic for him and he’s still trying to cope with the loss of his friends, as well as the loss of living anonymously,” the source said on Thursday. “He is waiting just like anyone else until this investigation concludes.” “The limbo has been frustrating and he feels like he can’t really start to heal until we have some kind of resolution here,” the source added. Fox 4 also reported that the prosecutor’s office in the case had contacted Alex Lee’s attorney.
“There are no updates at this time,” Kansas City Police Department Sergeant Phil DiMartino said on Wednesday. “This case remains active and ongoing. Investigators continue to follow all leads. Our agency remains in contact and continues to work with the Platte County Prosecutor’s office for review of any applicable charges. The results of an autopsy report are not publicly available in an ongoing investigation.
