A new name has arisen in the case of three Kansas City Chiefs fans who died earlier this month.
Alex Weamer-Lee, a friend of the victims, had joined them for a watch party, according to the Daily Mail. That makes five people who attended the event, three of whom later died.
According to the New York Post, Andrew Talge, Weamer-Leeās attorney, his client was at the party on Jan. 7 that ended up in Death, but left at about midnight, and said that when he left the four other men at the party were watching āJeopardy!ā
This is how the case unfolded. On Jan. 7, David Harrington, 37, Ricky Johnson, 38, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, visited Jordan Willisā home in the northen part of Kansas City to watch a game between the Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, WDAF-TVĀ reported.
On the night of Jan. 9, the men were all found dead on Willisā property by the Kansas City Police Department. One of the men was dead on the back porch, while the other two were found in the backyard, WDAFĀ reported.
Police said at the time that there were no obvious signs of foul play, and a member of one of the dead menās families said Willis had claimed they āfroze to Death.ā
Willis reportedly said his friends were at his home as he had gone to bed and had invited them to stay over as long as they wished, the outlet reported. However, an attorney for Willis first said his client watched his friends leave and then later said his client was asleep while the men continued to party at the house.
He said he spent the following two days with āno knowledgeā that his friends were dead on his property, according to the New York Post.
Jonathan Price, brother of victim Ricky Johnson, told āFox & Friendsā Thursday that he has questions about Willisā story.
āThereās way too many questions still needing to be answered, and nobody can answer those questions,ā Price said. āAnd honestly, except for Jordan ⦠the fifth person, he was there, but he wasnāt there after a certain time frame.ā
Jon Harrington, whose son was a victim, is flat-out skeptical and said he is ānot buyingā Willisā story, according to Fox News, saying his sonās mother and he āare both convinced that Jordan Willis played a part in this somehow.ā
āWe just havenāt figured out how yet. ⦠What else could it be? Perfectly healthy men donāt just drop off the face of the Earth,ā he said.
āThere were four of you in the house and now three of them are dead and youāre not. That doesnāt add up,ā he said. āIām thinking that he, the three of them learned something or saw something that they shouldnāt have seen, and he decided āwell,Ā I need to get rid of you now.ā Friends or not.ā
Jordan Willisā father pushed back, according to the New York Post.
āHe would never in a million years do anything,ā Willisā father said.
āThese were all good friends of his, these were all people he went to school with and he took them toĀ a Football game the day before for the Chiefs,ā he said.
