The mother of one of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans that were found frozen to death in their friend's backyard in January believes someone should be charged for their deaths.
Back in January, 38-year-old Ricky Johnson, 36-year-old Clayton McGeeney, and 37-year-old David Harrington were found dead in the backyard of their friend Jordan Willis's home after having watched the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Los Angeles Chargers on the night of January 7, per Fox News.
Despite the three men not having left the property, Willis had claimed that he was unaware his friends were dead in his yard in the heavy snow until two days later, when one of the men's fiancée asked for a welfare check.
Toxicology reports stated that THC, cocaine, and lethal levels of fentanyl were found in their systems, according to reports from Fox News.
Although police do not suspect foul play in the deaths of the three men, the mother of one of the deceased believes "some charges" are warranted after their untimely deaths.
Jennifer Marquez, who is the mother of David Harrington, told Fox News: "There’s no information being released, even though the police are still working from my understanding on the case.
"Of course, any family is going to be frustrated. We were warned that it would take a while, but it’s so hard not having any information."
The men's autopsies and toxicology testing had been completed in "late January", according to a representative from Frontier Forensics Midwest LLC, with preliminary results being shared with their families in early February by detectives from the Kansas City Police Department.
Despite police not suspecting foul play in the deaths, Marquez added: "My wishes are that the person or persons responsible for providing the substance that caused the deaths of Ricky, Clayton, and my son David are brought to justice."
She also claimed that Willis - who claimed to have been asleep for most of the 48 hours between the fateful night and the time the bodies were found - should face charges after the trio died following his watch party.
"I believe Jordan still has a lot to answer for — I believe there should be some charges,” she said. “If you have a party and serve too much alcohol and someone drives away from your house and has a wreck and kills themselves or others, you can be charged with overserving. He had a party and three people died — he should have charges brought against him."
She added: "Jordan [is] just going on with his life, while the rest of us are having to deal with the loss of family members.
"Was his computer checked to see if he had been on it at any time in the two days that he didn’t answer… and never received any text or anything from family or friends of the men or even his work? You would think he checked on his work so he wouldn’t be in trouble or behind and that would prove he lied about not knowing [the men were dead or dying in his backyard].
“Make it all make sense where he wouldn’t get in trouble."
Willis's attorney had previously claimed his client had been asleep for almost two days straight with the blinds closed and noise-canceling headphones on until the bodies were found on his property two days after the watch party.
Shortly after the tragedy, Willis moved out of the property and checked into a rehab facility, a source close to him told the outlet.
The same source again spoke out to say that Marquez's recent comments were "just more speculation from upset parents looking to point fingers” and “not based on any proven facts.”
The insider added: "The families do deserve answers and we all share the frustration on how long it’s taking for everyone to have those answers.
"I understand that they have suffered a huge loss - however, there has been absolutely no evidence presented at this point showing that Jordan was in any way responsible for the deaths of his friends, or that he knew they were deceased… before police showed up.
"Even if he did log into his computer or even if he got up briefly… that doesn’t automatically mean he knew they were outside, especially not on a day when it snowed heavily."
The source added that the families "speculating publicly" without knowing the facts was "unacceptable", adding that they need to "accept the possibility that their sons participated in behavior that cost them their lives."
Kansas City Police Department Sergeant Phil DiMartino told Fox News Digital there were “no updates at this time” on the investigation, adding: "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.”
He added that “the results of an autopsy report are not publicly available in an ongoing investigation."
Fox News Digital previously reported that the families of all three decedents are considering unlawful death lawsuits in the wake of the tragedy.
The investigation is ongoing, however, no foul play is suspected.
