MO - Furious Friends Demand Answers After 3 Men Found Dead at Kansas City Home Days After Watching Football Game, January 2024 #3

[cujenn81]

IF these deaths are drug related, there won’t be anyone charged with drug-induced homicide. Missouri is only one of maybe 15 states that doesn’t currently have such a law.

There’s a map that shows which states currently have drug-induced homicide laws (which includes murder, manslaughter, reckless homicide, and classified felony charges) on Page 14 at the following link. Page 15 shows which states currently have drug-induced homicide legislation pending. (Although, I know the pending legislation in California, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida has already been approved and signed into law. Possibly Oregon, as well.)

The tenant resident is the one who would grant access - not the property owner. A landlord cannot consent to a search of a tenant’s property - just common areas where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as a shared hallway or laundry room.

I figure that after moving out and paying for rehab, JR has defaulted on his lease. No sane landlord would try to hold him to it, at this point.

He is only a tenant for as long as the money from his account flows into the landlord's account. He moved out about two weeks ago.

When is this scheduled visit? does anyone know?

If the tenant is no longer a tenant and is living elsewhere (he moved in with his dad before going to rehab - i think it was the night of the 9th that he went to a different residence), and no rent is being paid, rights to the property revert to the owner/landlord.

Or, JW could easily have noticed his landlord that he was breaking the lease. Happens every day. At that point in time, most jurisdictions revert rights to access, inspection and use to the landlord.

IMO

Host of Chiefs Watch Party Heads to Rehab, Deceased Have Ties to Drugs

The man who hosted the ill-fated Kansas City Chiefs watch party that ended with three deaths is reportedly seeking addiction help in rehab -- and TMZ has learned more info about the deceased that could provide clues about what might've happened.

I'm glad the media has finally posted this information as some of us have known already and not been allowed to post about it. I wonder if the families thought it would not be disclosed.

Just had an incredible conversation with Caleb McGeeney, Clayton's cousin. He knows Jordan Willis and had a lot to say about him and the night the #KansasCity3 died. Will post video of my conversation ASAP.

@iluvmua, thanks for posting the article.

From the article:

We've uncovered that McGeeney had an active pharmacist license which was issued last year and set to expire at the end of May 2024.

While we don't know if he was working at any pharmacy in particular or practicing pharmacology in any way at the time of his death ... we do know the license would allow him to work as a pharmacy technician if he so desired.

I suspect today 1/31 is the final day of his lease (likely terminated early) and tomorrow 2/1 the owner takes possession and is allowing the DA meeting.

He's only been there since the summer so it's quite likely he has at least a year's lease. He would still be required to pay monthly rent until the landlord can rent it out. For the sake of avoiding numerous looky-loos perusing the property and disrupting the neighbours, the landlord might waive the lease agreement but wouldn't be obligated to.

 

[Sundog]

"...families have been invited to a MEETING tomorrow with the county prosecutors at the SITE of the HOME WHERE the men DIED." (my CAPS)

Doing this w property owner's permission?
Maybe I'm overlooking something, but otherwise I'm trying to imagine how LE/prosecutor could get warrant or ct order to do this, as part of their criminal investigation.

Trying to recall any case where prosecutor has done this.
[ETA: Prosecutor arranging for fam members of deceased to visit/tour a privately owned property which is a death scene but not officially deemed a crime scene.]
Anyone?

(Some fam of 4 uni/ID students wanted to go in 1122 King House, IIRC.
Did they? IF so, that was AFTER ARREST of BK and fam had LEGAL RIGHT to the return of students' personal property. I recall the pickup trucks being loaded, but IIRC, by LE, some for evd, some back to fam.)

I hope they finally can have some questions answered <3"

If the property owner gave his permission, then that must mean that Willis' rental agreement/lease was nullified? Or perhaps both Willis and the property owner gave their permission for LE to have access to the house with the family members of the deceased.

I thought a year lease would be likely, but think it is also very possible there could be a set fine for terminating lease early that he may be able to pay instead of continually paying rent and having access to the property

A woman broke into the basement. Even if JW had a lease, that would be a valid reason to break it and move out. As it is, because of the deaths of the three men, the landlord is going to have a very difficult time renting it out.

Also from the article Alex Caprariello says the upcoming meeting between the DA & the families is to "discuss the ongoing investigation and possibility of criminal prosecution." Interesting phrasing. I wonder if the families will go into the meeting strongly expecting to discuss prosecution?

Those are his words because he's sensationalizing the tragedy. No way did the prosecutor say that.

I'm sure the prosecutor didn't. My concern is that a family member did. AC has been pushing that he met with one of the men's cousins who knows JW.

Apparently JW’s dogs were staying with his father that night (or weekend, not sure of exact timeline). Confused as to why JW’s father wouldn’t try and contact his son after days of not hearing from him unless the dogs were planned to be with him for an extended period of time? I would imagine he would want JW to take his dogs back if he was only looking after them while his son was hanging with his friends on game night?

Very weird and confusing case.

 

[Nanceedroo]

I think the DA wants to deliver the results of the tox screens before it hits the media.

But they don’t have to go to the house to do that

Emphasis mine.
Agreed, and we all have questions !

It's not known if JW's dad tried to contact him, before the sad discovery of the three men.
Unless I missed it.

I don't find it weird and confusing, but I'm sure the family does.

The entire thing took place (as far as we know) between January 8, 2 am and January 9, 9 pm. My impression is that the dogs split their time between (nearby) Dad's house and JW's house. If it can't be understood that people do things very differently from household to household I don't know what to say.

According to MSM, the father was impaired (Alzheimers). Why would he act after only 36 hours to get the dogs transferred? Why would he want the dogs to be taken back? Many elderly people are overjoyed at dogs staying at their house.

Where did you learn that the dogs were only to be at Dad's during game night? The 3 visiting friends arrived *after* the game. We don't know when, exactly, the dogs were taken over to Dad's house.

People are extremely scattered in how they organize - their weekends, especially.

I think this case is fairly straightforward, in its broader outlines. Game Day. Alcohol. Relatively cold weather.

IMO. Perhaps more (in terms of toxicology - given the recent news). For all we know, though, JW is in rehab for alcohol (a good reason to go, IMO).

 

[10ofRods]

It's to help the family of the deceased process things, IMO.

 

[aafromaa]

Even before learning that JW has checked himself into rehab one had to suspect substance abuse for him to basically sleep for 48 hours without even checking his phone and though toxicology reports are still a long way off one has to suspect that 3 grown men basically being incapacitated at the same time so that they could not help themselves or each other had to involve some unknown substance as well - whether they knowingly partook of this substance would seem to be the only remaining question.

I know at least some of the family members have said their loved ones would not use drugs…but I also know that sadly sometimes the families are the last to know. Unless they find something that would indicate that JW gave them something without their knowledge, this would appear to be tragic accidental overdoses which happen far to often these days.

Things don’t make sense…If the friends were leaving to go home, why did they go out the closed in back yard instead of the front door that led to the street where their cars were parked? If JW had two dogs didn’t he have to let them out in the back yard at least a couple of times during that 48 hours? How could he not have seen at least the one sitting in the chair? And can’t the other friend - who left around midnight I think - shed any light on what if any substances were being used that night?

But we should know by now that nothing makes sense when drugs are involved. We have to wait for autopsy reports and toxicology reports to see if there is any reason to believe that these men didn’t willingly or knowingly partake of whatever substance is involved but I do think it is entirely possible that that JW had no clue his friends were still in his yard even if he opened the door for the dogs and looked right at one of them - because I had a brother who regularly abused drugs and when he did he was often oblivious to absolutely everything.

ETA: I see someone before my post said the dogs were at JW’s father’s so just ignore my questions about him letting them out - thanks.

@Sundog Thank you for pointing this out, which a few other posters did too. Apologies for my misstatement.
