The attorney representing the homeowner in the investigation into the deaths of Kansas City Chiefs fans says the end is near.

The attorney for the homeowner in the case of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans found dead in a snowy backyard nine months ago believes that criminal charges will be filed, but not against his client.

On January 9th, Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington were discovered deceased on Jordan Willis' Kansas City property by McGeeney's fiancée. Two days prior, they had visited Willis' home to watch the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite attempts to contact Willis via phone and knock on his door, he could not be reached, and the families searched in vain for their missing loved ones.

The preliminary autopsy results revealed that fentanyl, cocaine, and marijuana were found in the systems of the deceased men. However, the families of the victims have stated that Willis was responsible for their deaths, with some threatening to file civil lawsuits against the homeowner.

John Picerno, Willis' attorney, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that charges will be announced in the near future, based on discussions with prosecutors.

"Picerno stated confidently that his client would not be charged for any involvement in the untimely deaths of his friends."

Picerno stated that if someone had given the young men drugs, they could be held criminally liable for a felony murder charge.

A fifth man, who Planet Chronicle Digital has opted not to identify unless criminal charges are filed, was present in Willis' home at Northwest 83rd Terrace on January 7th. However, this man stated that he left the premises before the men were last seen alive, and emphasized that he was not the last person to depart the residence.

Planet Chronicle Digital was unable to contact the attorney for the fifth man.

The length of the probe, which the Kansas City Police Department has repeatedly characterized as a death investigation rather than a homicide investigation, is "unusual," according to Picerno.

Early in the investigation, his client willingly surrendered all electronic devices and provided DNA samples to the police.

The Platte County Prosecutor's office and the Kansas City Police Department could not be reached by Planet Chronicle Digital for comment on the cause of the investigation's duration.

Picerno stated that although he believes his client will avoid criminal charges, civil charges are likely. He mentioned that he has received contact from attorneys representing the men's families and noted that the statute of limitations for these types of cases is five years in Missouri.

Jordan Willis, who relocated from his Kansas City residence and joined a rehabilitation program following the demise of his friends, has undergone a permanent transformation in his life, as stated by Picerno.

"Picerno stated that it is difficult to return home when people have already assumed guilt without any evidence."

According to a source close to the Willis family, the 39-year-old Ph.D. holder and research scientist continues to grapple with the aftermath of the situation.

The source stated that he not only lost good friends but also had many people turn on him.

"His life has been affected by it, and he's doing his best to cope," the source stated. "He has been assisting with his dad's care this year and maintaining a positive outlook."
