KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City man who hosted an NFL viewing party at his rented home before three friends were found frozen to death in his backyard “did nothing wrong,” his family insisted to The Post Thursday.
“He wouldn’t have done anything in a million years,” father Jordan Willis said of his son as several relatives of the three men have speculated wildly about how they turned up dead.
Willis’ father said his son is grieving just like the families of his friends, some of whom have publicly pointed the finger at Willis and theorized that drugs may have been to blame for the deaths of David Harrington, Ricky Johnson and Clayton McGeeney.
Police said foul play is not suspected and have stressed that it is not yet clear whether drugs were involved as detectives await autopsy and toxicology reports.
Harrington, Johnson and McGeeney were at Willis’ home on Jan. 7 to watch the Kansas City Chiefs’ regular season finale.
All three were found dead in the party host’s yard two days later when McGeeney’s fiance requested a welfare check.

“These are all his best friends, these are all people he goes to school with and he brought them to a football game the day before for the Chiefs,” Willis’ father said outside his home in Kansas City.
Willis’ attorney, John Picerno, said Willis had been “sleeping on the couch” next to the loud fan for two days.
He also wore noise-canceling headphones when concerned family members came calling, the lawyer said.

He allowed the police to search his rental home, leading to a gruesome discovery, which Willis said was the first he knew of his friends’ deaths.
Willis’ father’s defense of his son came just hours after Harrington’s own father said he “didn’t buy” Willis’ version of what happened.
“[Harrington’s mother] and I’m both convinced that Jordan Willis played a role in this,” Jon Harrington said Thursday.

“There were four of you in that house and now three of them are dead and you are not. That doesn’t make sense,” he added, theorizing that the men witnessed “something they shouldn’t have seen” before they died.
