A Kansas City, Missouri, homeowner whose three friends’ frozen bodies were found in his backyard two days after they gathered to watch a Kansas City Chiefs playoff game had “no knowledge” of the tragedy unfolding in his backyard earlier this month, according to his attorney. 

The Kansas City Police Department told Fox News Digital that they do not suspect foul play in the deaths of 38-year-old Ricky Johnson, 36-year-old Clayton McGeeney and 37-year-old David Harrington. 

Friends and family members of the three men say that they had all gathered at a friend’s house to watch the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers on the night of Jan. 7.

The Kansas City Police Department announced that the men’s bodies were discovered at 9:51 p.m. Jan. 9 after one man’s fiancée requested a welfare check. One man’s body was found on the back porch of the home on the 5200 block of NW 83rd Terrace, while the other two were in the backyard. 

The men had apparently frozen to death.

“My husband banged on his door for 20 [minutes],” La Tier continued. “My friend banged on his door and then busted a window and yelled and announced her presence while she’s inside and still nothing from him? Then the cops come 10 [minutes] later and he comes out nonchalant in his boxers with an empty wine glass in hand??! Nothing is adding up. Dave, Clay and Ricky need and deserve justice.”

John Picerno, an attorney representing the homeowner, said his client had no idea his friends were dead until police knocked on his door. 

“He had no knowledge that they remained in his backyard or that they needed medical attention,” Picerno stated in a news release sent to FOX 4.

Moreover, the attorney claims, his client did not hear two people that came looking for the men at his house – he was allegedly sleeping with headphones and a loud fan. Although the attorney acknowledged that one of the men’s wives contacted his client on Facebook Messenger, he said the homeowner did not see the message until after police made contact. 

Although two of his friends’ cars were parked on the street outside his house, Picerno said, it “would not be unusual for his friends to have left their cars there overnight.”

“[The homeowner] is unaware of how his friends died,” Picerno told The Kansas City Star. “Like the rest of us, [the homeowner] is anxiously awaiting the results of the autopsy and toxicology report… On behalf of [the homeowner] and his family, we wish to express our deepest sympathies to the friends and family members of these young men, and our thoughts and prayers are with them.”
