- 1:20Speaker 4: they knew is they were headed to Jordan willis house
- 1:23Speaker 4: to watch the game. But now none of the guys,
- 1:26Speaker 4: including Jordan Willis, are replying to messages on social media
- 1:30Speaker 4: or by phone.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Okay, right there, January eight, it's cold. They are partying

- 1:42Speaker 2: Chiefs and the next thing you know, three or dead
- 1:45Speaker 2: and one claims he's been asleep for days with me
- 1:47Speaker 2: an all Star panel. But first I want to go
- 1:50Speaker 2: to the woman who has been breaking news about the
- 1:53Speaker 2: story from the get go. It's Jen Smith and she
- 1:56Speaker 2: is joining us from dailymail dot com. And that's where
- 2:00Speaker 2: I first found out about this, and it really does
- 2:03Speaker 2: hit me in the face.
- 2:05Speaker 3: This guy, Jordan Willis, I mean, he's no idiot. Is
- 2:08Speaker 3: that he a scientist.
- 2:10Speaker 2: He's a young guy, big Kansas City Chiefs fan, but
- 2:14Speaker 2: he's smart.
- 2:15Speaker 3: He's really smart.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I don't get how he sleeps for how many days
- 2:21Speaker 2: while his friends are dead in the backyard.
- 2:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean very very fishy, to say the least.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Jordan Willis, as you rightly point out, is an accomplished scientist,
- 2:32Speaker 5: done loads of research into HIV and aids lots of
- 2:35Speaker 5: research into COVID nineteen very accomplished guy, no form of record,
- 2:42Speaker 5: living in the home in Kansas City, Missouri. He had
- 2:45Speaker 5: gone to high school with two of the three men
- 2:49Speaker 5: who were later found dead, was friends with the other
- 2:51Speaker 5: for many years. Seemingly a completely normal guy. He lived
- 2:57Speaker 5: alone in the house. He works from home. He had
- 3:00Speaker 5: his two beloved pet bills there.
- 3:02Speaker 3: How many pets does he.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Have is two pit bill mixes. They're called Sadie and Daisy.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Wait, Sadie and Daisy don't have to t t for
- 3:10Speaker 2: what seventy two hours?
- 3:11Speaker 5: Well, on this particular night, then the Daisy and Sadie
- 3:15Speaker 5: weren't in the host. According to Jordan Willis, they were
- 3:19Speaker 5: at his father's host, which he says is something that
- 3:22Speaker 5: is totally routine. He often sends them to his father's side,
- 3:26Speaker 5: so they weren't actually there, he claimed. When all of
- 3:29Speaker 5: this happened.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Okay, James shell Nutt joining me, high profile lawyer and
- 3:32Speaker 2: joining us out of Alabama twenty seven years metro major
- 3:38Speaker 2: case and a big city former SWAT now leads the
- 3:41Speaker 2: shell Nut Law firm. James shell Nutt, let me remind you,
- 3:46Speaker 2: defense attorney, there is no father son privilege like attorney
- 3:51Speaker 2: client or priest parishioner, no such thing. You know, husband wife,
- 3:57Speaker 2: The wife can't blab that the husband did it. So
- 4:00Speaker 2: what I'm saying is if this is true or not
- 4:03Speaker 2: true about the dogs being at the dad's house when
- 4:07Speaker 2: the three friends are found dead in the backyard and
- 4:10Speaker 2: on the porch.
- 4:12Speaker 3: He's got to testify.
- 4:14Speaker 6: If called, Absolutely, he's got to testify. And you know,
- 4:17Speaker 6: he can be suppended in front of a grand jury.
- 4:19Speaker 6: He doesn't have to talk to Investigators might come to
- 4:21Speaker 6: his house, but they can most certainly down the road
- 4:23Speaker 6: if it becomes necessary, subpoening him to a grand jury,
- 4:26Speaker 6: and then he will be forced to testify unless he
- 4:28Speaker 6: himself or to take the Fifth Amendment.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Now you know, Shechelle Nutt.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I never discuss politics because I don't want crime and
- 4:36Speaker 2: crime victims to become some kind of political football. But
- 4:42Speaker 2: when this reality of the law came to the forefront
- 4:48Speaker 2: was during the Bill Clinton era when Monica Lewinsky's mother
- 4:53Speaker 2: was called to a grand jury and everybody was screaming, Oh,
- 4:57Speaker 2: the mother's gonna have to testify.
- 4:59Speaker 3: That's wrong. Illegal. It's not.
- 5:01Speaker 2: It is not illegal. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers. They have
- 5:06Speaker 2: to testify. They cannot take the fifth They've got to
- 5:10Speaker 2: tell the truth about their relative, their son, their daughter.
- 5:14Speaker 2: So that's when it came to the forefront, harsh as
- 5:16Speaker 2: it is. Of course, I'm not saying the mom or
- 5:18Speaker 2: the dad won't lie under oath. I mean, take a
- 5:21Speaker 2: look at Casey Anthony top mom. Her mother, Cindy Anthony,
- 5:25Speaker 2: a very nice lady, got up on the stand and
- 5:29Speaker 2: she I believe perjured herself and took the heat, claiming
- 5:33Speaker 2: that she made the searches for homemade chloroform, which she
- 5:38Speaker 2: said she meant to type chlorophyl. Okay, whatever that said,
- 5:45Speaker 2: she still got called to the stand. So if what
- 5:48Speaker 2: Jen Smith is telling us, chief investigative reporter at dallymail
- 5:51Speaker 2: dot com is true, the dad, I guarantee you it's
- 5:54Speaker 2: going to be a questioned. But back to the three
- 5:56Speaker 2: dead bodies. Listen to Sidney Sumner from Crime on Line.
- 6:00Speaker 7: On Tuesday, January ninth, nine to fifty one pm, Clayton
- 6:04Speaker 7: McGhee's fiance shows up at the house. She sees the
- 6:07Speaker 7: cars in the driveway, and since nobody is answering the
- 6:09Speaker 7: phone or replying to messages, she breaks into the home
- 6:13Speaker 7: and screams Willis's name. She has had no communication with
- 6:15Speaker 7: her partner for two days and she wants answers. She
- 6:18Speaker 7: walks through the house and doesn't find her fiance. Then
- 6:21Speaker 7: she looks on the back porch and sees a body.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Holy moly.
- 6:25Speaker 2: So the fiance has been trying to reach all of
- 6:28Speaker 2: these guys. Let me understand Jess Smith joining us dailymail
- 6:31Speaker 2: dot com. Did she just call her fiance Clayton mcghiney,
- 6:36Speaker 2: or does she try to reach the homeowner, Jordan Willis olive.
- 6:40Speaker 5: Abus She tried to reach Clayton. She tried to reach
- 6:44Speaker 5: Jordan Willis. The other families also tried to reach him
- 6:48Speaker 5: before the fiance eventually went the house on and she
- 6:52Speaker 5: ended up breaking in, actually through the basement because she
- 6:55Speaker 5: don't know retorm when she finds on the door. Other
- 6:58Speaker 5: families have gone there and bind on the door. I
- 7:00Speaker 5: tried to get in. They sent Jordan Willis basbook messages,
- 7:03Speaker 5: they call them, all of which they received silence for all.
- 7:08Speaker 5: So it wasn't as if this was her first attempt.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Including calling all the friends, all four of them, including
- 7:14Speaker 2: the home owner. And I'm not calling him the per
- 7:17Speaker 2: or the defendant because he as of right now has
- 7:20Speaker 2: not been charged with a crime. Okay, let's pick it
- 7:23Speaker 2: up with fiance going through that breaking in. I mean,
- 7:27Speaker 2: she sees the cars out front, she sees that they're
- 7:31Speaker 2: all still there, but nobody's answering the door the phone
- 7:34Speaker 2: messages nothing, so she breaks in wisely and starts screaming,
- 7:41Speaker 2: let's pick it up. But how did the whole thing start? Okay,
- 7:45Speaker 2: let's freeze the screaming fiance in time.
- 7:48Speaker 3: How did this day start off? Listen?
- 7:51Speaker 4: January seven is a football day for the Kansas City Chiefs,
- 7:54Speaker 4: as they will be playing the Los Angeles Chargers, So
- 7:57Speaker 4: thirty eight year old Jordan Willis a couple of buddies
- 8:01Speaker 4: to come to his house and watch the game. David Harrington,
- 8:04Speaker 4: Ricky Johnson, and Clayton mcginney arrive at willis house in
- 8:08Speaker 4: time for the three twenty five pm Central Time kickoff.
- 8:12Speaker 4: They enjoy the game as the Chiefs beat the Chargers
- 8:14Speaker 4: thirteen to twelve, and Willis makes plans for them to
- 8:18Speaker 4: all get tickets for the next home game.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Okay, what happens?
- 8:21Speaker 6: Then?
- 8:21Speaker 7: After the game, Jordan Willis waves the guys off and
- 8:24Speaker 7: crashes on the couch. Willis is known two of the
- 8:26Speaker 7: men since they were in high school, and the other
- 8:28Speaker 7: is a friend. Willis wakes up later and doesn't see
- 8:31Speaker 7: the guys, so he assumes they took off and heads
- 8:33Speaker 7: to bed. He leaves the doors unlocked, so the guys
- 8:36Speaker 7: can come and go as they please.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Okay, right there, Back to you, Jenn Smith joining us
- 8:41Speaker 2: from Daily Mail. He leaves the doors unlocked, but when
- 8:45Speaker 2: the fiancee got there, everything was locked up tight.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Very very strange, and I want to go back to
- 8:53Speaker 5: his story about when he goes to sleep, Wendy leave.
- 8:56Speaker 5: This has changed quite a few times since this story
- 9:00Speaker 5: came across all of our guests. Now he has an
- 9:02Speaker 5: attorney who I spoke with.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Yet, wait a minute, did you say he's lawyered up?
- 9:06Speaker 5: He is lawyered up, Nancy. Okay, So initially he claimed
- 9:10Speaker 5: I left them all to hang out in the living
- 9:12Speaker 5: room and I go upstairs to bed. Now the story
- 9:16Speaker 5: is I waved them goodbye, saw them out the house,
- 9:20Speaker 5: then returned to the couch where I crashed. Then at
- 9:23Speaker 5: some stage went from the couch to my bedroom, and
- 9:27Speaker 5: sometime after that he believes they came back to hang
- 9:32Speaker 5: out because they didn't want to go elsewhere to a bar.
- 9:35Speaker 5: And that's when he's claiming there was Whatever happened happened.
- 9:40Speaker 5: But this timeline is very strange and it's changed a lot.
- 9:44Speaker 5: I mean, he says, I asked him, well, how did
- 9:46Speaker 5: they get back in if you've gone to bed. Oh,
- 9:48Speaker 5: I left the doors unlocked, but like you right, literally
- 9:50Speaker 5: point out when the fiance shows up two days later,
- 9:53Speaker 5: she can't get in the house.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Okay, he's right. One of the stories.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Is that they watched the game, they made plans to
- 10:01Speaker 2: buy tickets for the next game, and the three friends
- 10:05Speaker 2: left and he went to sleep on the sofa then
- 10:09Speaker 2: later went to his bed. The other story is that
- 10:13Speaker 2: he went to bed and he left them all down
- 10:16Speaker 2: there partying.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Is that right? Or did see saying they left and
- 10:21Speaker 3: then they came back?
- 10:22Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. The initial story was, and this is
- 10:25Speaker 5: coming from his lawyer, that he went to bed leaving
- 10:29Speaker 5: them there, and then it changed yesterday to no, no, no,
- 10:33Speaker 5: I misspoke. What I meant to say was he waved
- 10:35Speaker 5: them off, they left, He then fell asleep on the
- 10:37Speaker 5: coach and then later goes up to bed and they
- 10:39Speaker 5: must have come back somehow. So that's a very significant
- 10:42Speaker 5: ship in narrative about the night in the question.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Time stories with me.
- 11:02Speaker 3: You know what's interesting to doctor Jory L.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Craften joining US psychologist's former law enforcement now faculty at
- 11:09Speaker 2: Saint Leo University and consultant with the blue Wall Institute,
- 11:13Speaker 2: Doctor Jory, thank you for being with us. You know,
- 11:16Speaker 2: I remember distinctly, crystal clear, the last time I saw
- 11:23Speaker 2: my fiance alive, the day he was murdered. He drove
- 11:27Speaker 2: out of my driveway. I was living with my parents.
- 11:32Speaker 2: He held his left arm out of his car on
- 11:36Speaker 2: his way back where he lived in Athens and waved
- 11:41Speaker 2: at me. That's the last time I saw him. I
- 11:47Speaker 2: remember the last time I saw my dad before he
- 11:51Speaker 2: passed away. But this guy seems to have a hard
- 11:55Speaker 2: time remembering exactly when he saw his friends alive. They're
- 11:59Speaker 2: all dead now.
- 12:00Speaker 8: Yeah, there's I would take two different perceptions of this.
- 12:06Speaker 8: You know that he's changing his story as one and
- 12:09Speaker 8: he may have used like a sleep aid, you know,
- 12:13Speaker 8: and the sleep aid helps him go to sleep, but
- 12:15Speaker 8: it also kind of affects memory, the ability to form memories,
- 12:21Speaker 8: and that comes from, you know, once you get into
- 12:23Speaker 8: a deep sleep, that's where memories are really getting organized
- 12:26Speaker 8: and range sleep. Certain medications like an ambient There's been
- 12:31Speaker 8: a lot of research about ambient behavior, people falling asleep,
- 12:34Speaker 8: getting up and doing things and not remembering.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Are you talking about him taking some sort of a
- 12:40Speaker 2: sleep aid or some type of medicine like cough medicine
- 12:44Speaker 2: that would make him groggy and some ambulance. Yes, okay,
- 12:48Speaker 2: you know what I want to follow up on that,
- 12:51Speaker 2: Jenna Smith dalimil dot com. Is there any mention of
- 12:55Speaker 2: a sleep aid or any type of medication that would
- 12:59Speaker 2: make him let me just say groggy as a vernacular
- 13:04Speaker 2: for some ambulant state in decir.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Nothing so far in antsy. So one of the questions
- 13:09Speaker 5: I asked his attorney yesterday was specifically, were there any
- 13:13Speaker 5: drugs involved in the evening? Were there any drugs taken
- 13:16Speaker 5: by the group by Jordan in the house.
- 13:19Speaker 3: He refused to answer, but so far, nothing about any
- 13:22Speaker 3: Let's just say, Robertessen.
- 13:23Speaker 5: No, nothing like that.
- 13:24Speaker 2: I mean nabanaderil, no.
- 13:25Speaker 5: Mention of anything. He did mention that they had been drinking,
- 13:28Speaker 5: but nothing about any kind of sleep aid or other
- 13:32Speaker 5: types of legal drugs. Nothing like that.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Is anyone remembering this so called cough syrup killer who
- 13:39Speaker 2: claimed he was some ambulant when he murdered his wife.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Take a listen to hour cut seventeen. This is Matthew

- 19:08Speaker 2: what you just said. What just slow down speed limit
- 19:13Speaker 2: seventy five mph?
- 19:14Speaker 3: Okay please?
- 19:15Speaker 14: What protein scientists is basically someone who is looking at
- 19:21Speaker 14: very detailed, minute molecular things that are associated with the body.
- 19:28Speaker 14: They're often associated with developing immunizations and figuring out how
- 19:34Speaker 14: viruses work, things of that nature.
- 19:36Speaker 2: He sounds brilliant, right to figure out to research and
- 19:44Speaker 2: develop advancements in COVID nineteen immunizations and vaccines and for HIV.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I mean, am I getting that right?
- 19:56Speaker 3: Jen Smith?
- 19:57Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 19:58Speaker 5: Exactly that. That was a huge mind his research. He's
- 20:00Speaker 5: celebrated in the fields, given plenty of the interviews. You know,
- 20:04Speaker 5: a great education, and they are really promising young scientists
- 20:09Speaker 5: by all.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Okay, so can we get back to the free dead
- 20:14Speaker 2: bodies one on the porch. Let's get back to what happened.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Take a listen now to our friend Nicole parton Crime Online.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Seeing a body on the back porch, still screaming. Jordan
- 20:28Speaker 4: Willis's name, Clayton mcguinnea's fiance, calls police. Officers arrived to
- 20:33Speaker 4: find Willis in his underwear with an empty glass of
- 20:36Speaker 4: wine in hand. According to the victims' families, the other
- 20:40Speaker 4: two bodies were then found in the backyard. Jordan Willis
- 20:43Speaker 4: tells police he has no idea what happened.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Okay, justin, Boardman joining me, Former Detective West Valley CDPD
- 20:52Speaker 2: Special Victims Unit now with Boardman training and consulting. Ma'am, Justin,
- 20:59Speaker 2: you're joining us out of Kansas. Was there what was
- 21:04Speaker 2: there any snow on that day that would have been
- 21:08Speaker 2: jan seven?
- 21:09Speaker 11: You know there was some snow.
- 21:12Speaker 9: The reports say that there was like an inch or two,
- 21:15Speaker 9: just barely a skiff if.
- 21:17Speaker 2: You will, okay, let me absorb what you just said,
- 21:19Speaker 2: because if there were three feet of snow and there
- 21:22Speaker 2: was a body under there, maybe I could accept that
- 21:27Speaker 2: the homeowner, Jordan.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Willis didn't see it. Did you say a skiff?
- 21:32Speaker 9: A what a skiff? A skiff so an intersue of snow,
- 21:38Speaker 9: so not enough to cover a body to where you
- 21:40Speaker 9: would not see.
- 21:41Speaker 3: It, much less one on the back porch.
- 21:42Speaker 9: Right, especially one on the back porch. And then others
- 21:45Speaker 9: out in the yard. When you look at the photographs
- 21:48Speaker 9: from some of the articles, it has without the snow,
- 21:54Speaker 9: but pictures of the backyard there isn't any brush back there.
- 21:57Speaker 9: It's pretty plain.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Is that true? Jen Smith is justin Borman? Correct, he's
- 22:01Speaker 2: joining us from Kansas. What can you tell me?
- 22:03Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean it was pretty I think the temperature
- 22:05Speaker 5: on John seventh went to freezing, you know, thirty two fahrenheit,
- 22:09Speaker 5: but no indication of huge piles of snow that would
- 22:12Speaker 5: have concealed bodies. And you know, thirty two fahrenheit. If
- 22:15Speaker 5: that was going to kill you, you'd have to be out
- 22:17Speaker 5: there for a very long time. You'd have to be
- 22:18Speaker 5: nutritionally compromised them and severely dehirdrated as well.
- 22:22Speaker 2: I think, why would they just be out there for
- 22:25Speaker 2: that long? Do we have a cod at Jen Smith's
- 22:28Speaker 2: cause of death?
- 22:29Speaker 5: No, we don't, And obviously this is going to really
- 22:31Speaker 5: put the pieces of the puzzle together. The medical examiner
- 22:34Speaker 5: is yet to reveal cause of death, any form of
- 22:38Speaker 5: even estimation about what happened. And crucially, we don't have
- 22:42Speaker 5: toxicology yet for the three men who were found dead,
- 22:46Speaker 5: and that could explain a huge amount. But right now,
- 22:49Speaker 5: no answers.
- 22:50Speaker 2: I don't know that it's really explaining anything for me,
- 22:53Speaker 2: because even if they had smoked some pot, even if
- 22:56Speaker 2: they had had some alcohol, that would not make them,
- 22:59Speaker 2: That would not induce them to stay out in freezing
- 23:02Speaker 2: temperatures and not come back in. That's right, or get
- 23:06Speaker 2: in their car or bang on the door anything, that's right? Yeah,
- 23:11Speaker 2: what more do we know? Listen?
- 23:12Speaker 12: On Monday, January eighth, Jordan Willis claims he did not
- 23:15Speaker 12: leave his home at all. He would normally have to
- 23:18Speaker 12: take his dogs, Sadie and Daisy outside to do their business,
- 23:22Speaker 12: but they're all staying at his dad's place without having
- 23:24Speaker 12: to take the dogs out and not leaving the house
- 23:27Speaker 12: for any reason. Jordan Willis doesn't realize his buddy's cars
- 23:31Speaker 12: are still parked outside his house.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Let me understand something, Jen Smith joining us from dailymail
- 23:36Speaker 2: dot com, who has been breaking the knees on the story.
- 23:40Speaker 2: So when the cops get there, he saunterers in in
- 23:46Speaker 2: his boxer shorts holding a glass of wine.
- 23:49Speaker 5: Yeah, he's holding an empty wineglass. Now, the victims family
- 23:54Speaker 5: took this to mean he was still drinking or drinking
- 23:57Speaker 5: that morning. He claims it was a left over empty
- 24:01Speaker 5: glass from the night before that he was using for Walter.
- 24:04Speaker 5: But he is, you know, by the looks of things,
- 24:06Speaker 5: who just got out of bed in his faults for short.
- 24:09Speaker 5: When the police arrives, he lets them in and they
- 24:11Speaker 5: find the three other bodies.
- 24:13Speaker 2: And that's January ninth, correct, that's January ninth, Yes, And.
- 24:16Speaker 3: The party was January seventh.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Party begins at nine pm on January seventh. We know
- 24:21Speaker 5: that Willis says that the others left or he went
- 24:24Speaker 5: to bed at around two am, So we have all
- 24:27Speaker 5: day on of course, the remainder of the night January
- 24:31Speaker 5: seventh and eighth, all day January eighth, the night of
- 24:33Speaker 5: January eighth, and then the final discovery is on January
- 24:36Speaker 5: ninethe in the morning.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Man, that'd be all over this looking for receipts.
- 24:40Speaker 2: I'll be looking for.
- 24:41Speaker 3: A digital record.
- 24:42Speaker 2: What about a James shell Nutt you are a former
- 24:45Speaker 2: cop before you turn defense attorney, I would be all
- 24:48Speaker 2: up in his text. Did he order in, did he
- 24:53Speaker 2: do an instacart? Did he leave? Did he leave the home?
- 24:57Speaker 2: He didn't see his friend's car still part there. I'm
- 25:01Speaker 2: just having a hard time believing this.
- 25:03Speaker 6: I agree one hundred percent. Did he communicate with anybody
- 25:06Speaker 6: at all? Number two? You know, when you think about
- 25:08Speaker 6: phones nowadays and technology nowadays, a lot of times you
- 25:10Speaker 6: can tell if someone actually reads your text. So, even
- 25:14Speaker 6: if he didn't proactively contact anyone, is there any indication
- 25:17Speaker 6: that he read other people's messages they received, whether it's
- 25:20Speaker 6: on Facebook, whether it's on his phone or some other methods.
- 25:23Speaker 2: You're right, You're absolutely right about those messages. I was thinking,
- 25:27Speaker 2: did he go out for pizza, did he leave the house?
- 25:29Speaker 2: Did he go to an ATM? But we know more now.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Listen to Rachel Benia and Dave Mackett Crime Online.
- 25:37Speaker 13: As news starts to spread of the three friends freezing
- 25:40Speaker 13: to death in the backyard while their friend is asleep inside,
- 25:43Speaker 13: the families of the victims begin to speak out and
- 25:45Speaker 13: ask questions. The biggest question for Jordan Willis is what
- 25:49Speaker 13: happened next?
- 25:51Speaker 11: Was?
- 25:51Speaker 2: Why didn't you.
- 25:51Speaker 13: Answer calls, text messages and social media messages from family
- 25:55Speaker 13: and friends of the three.
- 25:56Speaker 12: Men, the Daily Mail reports. Willis insists he spent the
- 25:59Speaker 12: next two days in his home, not thinking anything of
- 26:02Speaker 12: the fact that his friends cars were still outside, and
- 26:05Speaker 12: only learned they died when the fiance of one of
- 26:08Speaker 12: the men, broke into the house on January ninth in
- 26:10Speaker 12: the hopes of finding him.
- 26:11Speaker 2: The changing stories are a problem, and Jenn Smith Daily Mail,
- 26:16Speaker 2: do we know, as shall not pointed out, whether he
- 26:20Speaker 2: was reading those texts and those online messages.
- 26:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, this is going to be huge once
- 26:28Speaker 5: it's properly probe. He says that he did not see them.
- 26:33Speaker 5: We don't know yet. The messages predominantly were on Facebook Messenger,
- 26:37Speaker 5: which you can tell whether or not someone has read
- 26:39Speaker 5: your message. Now, the families haven't indicated specifically whether or
- 26:44Speaker 5: not they got that you know, read receipt, but you could,
- 26:49Speaker 5: for the sake of argument, see that the relatives of
- 26:52Speaker 5: you know, your dead friend, we're trying to contact you,
- 26:54Speaker 5: just not simply not open the message. We don't know
- 26:57Speaker 5: is the answer to your question that see whether or
- 26:59Speaker 5: not he opened the messages. All we know is he
- 27:02Speaker 5: says he didn't see them, and only saw them after
- 27:06Speaker 5: the police came to the film on January ninth and
- 27:08Speaker 5: the bodies were fine.
- 27:09Speaker 2: I'm curious as to what his reaction was when he
- 27:13Speaker 2: realized all three of his friends are dead.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Well, he's been he himself actually has not spoken to
- 27:20Speaker 5: the media. He has actually moved out of this house now,
- 27:23Speaker 5: he's deleted all of his social media accounts. So all
- 27:26Speaker 5: of the communication about how he's feeling, what he's thinking
- 27:28Speaker 5: is coming through this attorney. And the attorney tells me
- 27:32Speaker 5: that he is, you know, devastated, actiously awaiting more information
- 27:37Speaker 5: from the police about how his friends died, consistence that
- 27:40Speaker 5: he wanted no harm to come to them, that they
- 27:42Speaker 5: had the plans to go to the next chief game.
- 27:45Speaker 5: But he himself is yet to make any kind of
- 27:49Speaker 5: public statements or give any interviews about this. I mean,
- 27:53Speaker 5: I think all of us have so many answered questions
- 27:56Speaker 5: that if he just answered them with the truth, it
- 28:01Speaker 5: would explain a lot. But he hasn't said anything. He's
- 28:04Speaker 5: relying on his attorney to do the.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Talking for I find that curious as well. I'm also
- 28:09Speaker 2: curious if he's going to show up at their funerals. Guys,
- 28:12Speaker 2: it's not the first time someone claims they slept through
- 28:17Speaker 2: a death. Take a listen to our cut sixteen from
- 28:20Speaker 2: Crime Online.
- 28:21Speaker 12: Forty two year old Barbara Woods is at home and
- 28:24Speaker 12: bed asleep with her husband when her son in law,
- 28:26Speaker 12: Kenneth Parks sneaks into the bedroom, stabs and chokes her.
- 28:29Speaker 12: Husband then turns his rage on her, using a tire
- 28:32Speaker 12: iron to beat her about the head and a knife
- 28:35Speaker 12: to stab her four times, causing her death. Parks is
- 28:38Speaker 12: charged with the murder, and at trial, his attorney claims
- 28:41Speaker 12: that on the night of the killing, Kenneth Parks was
- 28:44Speaker 12: plunged into a deep, deep sleep. His next memory is
- 28:48Speaker 12: seeing his mother in law's face. The attorney said he
- 28:51Speaker 12: then regained consciousness and fled the house and drove to
- 28:54Speaker 12: a nearby police station. According to his attorney, the twenty
- 28:58Speaker 12: four year old Kenneth Parks was sleepwalking as he drove
- 29:01Speaker 12: the fourteen miles to his mother in law's house and
- 29:04Speaker 12: killed her in bed, wounding his father in law. The
- 29:08Speaker 12: jury agreed and Parks was acquitted.
- 29:11Speaker 3: That's true.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Barbara Woods at home asleep with her husband, her son
- 29:16Speaker 2: in law, drives fourteen miles.
- 29:19Speaker 3: To their home.
- 29:22Speaker 2: He says, in his sleep, murders the mother in law
- 29:26Speaker 2: and father, beating them with a tire iron, killing the
- 29:31Speaker 2: mother in law, wounding the father in law, and he
- 29:35Speaker 2: was acquitted. That's right, Kenneth Parks. I'm having a hard
- 29:42Speaker 2: time letting that so Ken, but there's more.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Take a listen to our cut twenty one.
- 29:48Speaker 12: Living in a three story home in Buffalo, New York,
- 29:51Speaker 12: while attending the University of Buffalo, Elena's able and her
- 29:53Speaker 12: roommates go to a party at the Sigma Kay fraternity
- 29:56Speaker 12: not far from their house. One of the roommates headed
- 29:59Speaker 12: home earlier than rest, and by the time Zabel made
- 30:01Speaker 12: it back to the house, the door was locked and
- 30:03Speaker 12: she didn't have a key. Zabel climbs through a bathroom
- 30:06Speaker 12: window and notices a weird smell calling out for her roommate.
- 30:10Speaker 12: She doesn't get a reply, but here's heavy breathing and
- 30:13Speaker 12: thinks her roommate is asleep, so she goes to betterself.
- 30:16Speaker 12: Her roommate isn't sleeping at that very moment, she's being
- 30:20Speaker 12: brutally attacked. Hours later, Zabel awakes and finds her roommate
- 30:23Speaker 12: clinging to life. Nine one one is called and the
- 30:26Speaker 12: roommate is rushed at the hospital, where she spends months
- 30:28Speaker 12: in a coma and a recovery that was very long.
- 30:31Speaker 12: Many people question why it took so long to call
- 30:34Speaker 12: for help. Hours between the attack and the call for help.
- 30:38Speaker 12: Four years later, the serial rapist was convicted of rape
- 30:41Speaker 12: and attempted.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Murder Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Jen Smith.
- 30:58Speaker 2: One very disturbing fact of this case three friends dead
- 31:03Speaker 2: in the backyard. You don't answer text messages, phone calls
- 31:09Speaker 2: for now three days, jan seven, eight and nine when
- 31:13Speaker 2: police get there on the ninth. But the changing of
- 31:17Speaker 2: the stories that shouldn't change. That what happened should not change,
- 31:24Speaker 2: Jen Smith, What is the most disturbing change in the story?
- 31:28Speaker 5: I mean, for me, it has to be the fact
- 31:30Speaker 5: that initially the story was he left them inside the hose,
- 31:33Speaker 5: hanging out downstairs, and then the second iteration of the
- 31:37Speaker 5: story is no, no, no, they left. I waved them goodbye,
- 31:40Speaker 5: and then at some stage they must have come back.
- 31:43Speaker 5: One thing I do want to say, and this goes
- 31:45Speaker 5: back to the fact that Jordan Willis hasn't yet spoken
- 31:48Speaker 5: to the media himself. Changing stories could be down to
- 31:52Speaker 5: a really ill equipped or this incompetent attorney. Right, all
- 31:56Speaker 5: we've heard on Jordan Willis's behalf is coming from his attorney.
- 32:00Speaker 5: Now as Jordan Willis has his story straight and he's
- 32:03Speaker 5: letting his lawyers do all the talking, and the lawyer
- 32:05Speaker 5: is changing the story. It's in his best interest to
- 32:08Speaker 5: get out there and set the record straight. But if
- 32:11Speaker 5: it is the case that he's been changing his story
- 32:14Speaker 5: to his lawyer, who has been, you know, contemporaneously changing
- 32:18Speaker 5: it to the press, that's going to be hugely problematic
- 32:21Speaker 5: for him down the lane. If there's a criminal.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Case, guys, he says he slept through the whole thing
- 32:25Speaker 2: and had no idea what was going on. But others disagree.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Many others disagree. Take a listen to our fourteen with
- 32:33Speaker 2: the cole parton.
- 32:34Speaker 4: John Piserno, and attorney representing Willis, said his client had
- 32:39Speaker 4: no idea his friends were dead until police knocked on
- 32:42Speaker 4: his door. The New York Post shared a Facebook post
- 32:46Speaker 4: from Kaylee Lettier, who wrote, my husband banged on his
- 32:49Speaker 4: door for twenty minutes. Lttier continued, my friend banged on
- 32:53Speaker 4: his door and then busted a window and yelled and
- 32:56Speaker 4: announced her presence while she's inside and still nothing from him.
- 33:01Speaker 4: Then the cops come ten minutes later, and he comes
- 33:04Speaker 4: out nonchalant in his boxers with an empty wine glass
- 33:08Speaker 4: in hand. Nothing is adding up. Dave Clay and Ricky
- 33:12Speaker 4: need and deserve justice.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Okay, this is what I'm trying to figure out Jen Smith.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Do the relatives and friends of the victims believe Jordan Willis.
- 33:24Speaker 5: No, absolutely not, under no circumstances. They say that none
- 33:28Speaker 5: of this adds up. They need more information, and they
- 33:32Speaker 5: are devastated at the not only their deaths, but the
- 33:36Speaker 5: lack of information from him, someone who had apparently been
- 33:40Speaker 5: friends with them since they were at high school, who
- 33:42Speaker 5: would know their their families. I'm from the police, you know.
- 33:46Speaker 5: From the get go, the police said nothing to see here,
- 33:49Speaker 5: no foul play. We're going to carry on our investigation.
- 33:52Speaker 5: But we have the reason to believe anyone is in danger,
- 33:55Speaker 5: nor do we have any reason to believe Jordan Willis
- 33:58Speaker 5: did anything wrong making that kind of statement before you
- 34:01Speaker 5: have a cause of death. They may have been a
- 34:05Speaker 5: bit hasty there, and the families are rightfully questioning why
- 34:10Speaker 5: they are so comfortable stating that there is no foul
- 34:13Speaker 5: play when the investigation isn't complete. We don't even have
- 34:16Speaker 5: a cause of death yet.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Doctor Kunal Kra's, Chief Medical Examiner, Terrance County Fort Worth.
- 34:21Speaker 2: If the bodies became frozen, would that affect finding out
- 34:28Speaker 2: a CEO D cause of death?
- 34:29Speaker 14: No, Actually, the cooling or the freezing of the bodies
- 34:33Speaker 14: will slow down decomposition and actually prevent decomposition so that
- 34:38Speaker 14: it will maintain the body itself, so they it won't
- 34:42Speaker 14: alter a cause of death at all. One thing you
- 34:46Speaker 14: have to think of with three individuals dying suddenly, there
- 34:48Speaker 14: has to be a commonality between all three of them
- 34:52Speaker 14: in an environmental factor of the fact that they're all healthy.
- 34:55Speaker 14: They just can't think that they wouldn't get themselves out
- 34:58Speaker 14: of a cold situation. So, you know, could it be drugs?
- 35:01Speaker 14: Could it be something else? And you also have to
- 35:04Speaker 14: throw in there you have a research scientist and his
- 35:07Speaker 14: three friends are all now dead. It's all very odd.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Yes, odd. There's definitely smoke, but is there fire? I
- 35:14Speaker 2: believe that you can sleep through something a crime happening
- 35:22Speaker 2: in the next room or right above you. What about
- 35:27Speaker 2: the roommates of the Idaho students in the Brian Coburger
- 35:31Speaker 2: murder case.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Take a listen to Dave Mack.
- 35:35Speaker 12: Dylan Mortenson and Bethany Funk were both home when Brian
- 35:38Speaker 12: Coberger allegedly snuck into their home in the early morning
- 35:41Speaker 12: hours and stabbed Matty Mogan, Kayley Goanzavez, Xanacronodle and Ethan
- 35:44Speaker 12: shapen to death in their beds. The New York Posts
- 35:47Speaker 12: reported the two women were texting each other while the
- 35:50Speaker 12: murders were happening, and Dylan Mortensen came face to face
- 35:54Speaker 12: with the killer right after the attack and gave a
- 35:57Speaker 12: description of the alleged murderers, saying he was wearing black
- 36:00Speaker 12: and had bushy eyebrows. This information caused a lot of
- 36:03Speaker 12: online attacks, with people wondering why if they were home
- 36:06Speaker 12: and awake during the attacks and Mortensen saw the man
- 36:10Speaker 12: dressed in black, why did it take hours before police
- 36:14Speaker 12: were called.
- 36:14Speaker 3: We're waiting to hear answers to that.
- 36:17Speaker 2: There have been a lot of suggestions online amongst trolls
- 36:21Speaker 2: that the two surviving roommates actually had something to do
- 36:25Speaker 2: with their murders. That's not true. I can emphatically state
- 36:29Speaker 2: that is not true. These two girls had nothing to
- 36:33Speaker 2: do with those four murders.
- 36:36Speaker 3: But what about this case?
- 36:37Speaker 2: Okay, doctor Jory craws In psychologist, former law enforcement now
- 36:41Speaker 2: faculty Saint Leo University, what do you think.
- 36:45Speaker 8: Really, there's got to be a commonality something in their deaths.
- 36:48Speaker 8: It maybe like drugs or something, some kind of a
- 36:52Speaker 8: drug de od possibly, But you know, certain types of drugs,
- 36:56Speaker 8: you know, like fentanyl. You could tell from the bodies possibly,
- 37:01Speaker 8: but if they're frozen, they're going to be just kind
- 37:03Speaker 8: of locked in that state.
- 37:04Speaker 2: No, we don't have any reason to think these guys
- 37:08Speaker 2: were using drugs.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Shall night, What do you think?
- 37:11Speaker 11: All right?
- 37:11Speaker 6: I'm in total agreement that there's a commonality. You know,
- 37:14Speaker 6: when you talk about drugs, you know, you also talk tell.
- 37:17Speaker 2: You know what, forget the commonality? All right, that's not
- 37:21Speaker 2: really telling me anything. Yes, they probably all were killed
- 37:24Speaker 2: the same way.
- 37:25Speaker 6: Well, we've talked a lot about drugs.
- 37:27Speaker 2: I haven't talked a lot about drugs because nobody said
- 37:29Speaker 2: they were using drugs.
- 37:31Speaker 6: Well, you know, we've talked about whether or not something
- 37:34Speaker 6: could have been ingested, and the bottom line is that
- 37:36Speaker 6: could be drugs, but it could be a poison as well.
- 37:39Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Am I the only one that sees the
- 37:43Speaker 2: elephant in the room. A man claims he's totally unaware
- 37:48Speaker 2: of search efforts for three of his friends.
- 37:52Speaker 3: They are there for three.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Days Jan Seven, eight and nine. His story is checking
- 38:01Speaker 2: they're dead. Was on the back porch, Hello, you can
- 38:04Speaker 2: see it from inside. The other two are out in
- 38:07Speaker 2: the garden. And he says he knew nothing. What that
- 38:13Speaker 2: doesn't make sense to me, Jenn Smith, could you help
- 38:16Speaker 2: me please? I mean, you want me to believe three
- 38:19Speaker 2: guys go in the backyard and drop dead.
- 38:21Speaker 5: No, I don't think that's what happened. And I think
- 38:23Speaker 5: what we maybe we're trying to get at here is
- 38:26Speaker 5: both could be He could have, you know, lied about
- 38:29Speaker 5: not knowing anything, and they could have died of some
- 38:32Speaker 5: kind of accidental overdose, you know, different type of recreational
- 38:36Speaker 5: drug laced for fence andal PhD synthetic drugs. Is there
- 38:40Speaker 5: a scenario in which all of the men are taking drugs,
- 38:43Speaker 5: perhaps supplied by Jordan Willis or someone else, in which
- 38:49Speaker 5: the three of them end uh dying and Jordan Willis
- 38:52Speaker 5: panics and doesn't alert anybody. Is that a possibility?
- 38:55Speaker 8: We don't know now.
- 38:56Speaker 5: I want to emphatively state that the sleeper not saying
- 38:58Speaker 5: that that is what's happened, but he could have concealed
- 39:02Speaker 5: the fact that his friend died of an a drug
- 39:04Speaker 5: overdose without actually murdering them or doing something more violent
- 39:09Speaker 5: to them, just for the take of panic and protecting
- 39:12Speaker 5: his science career.
- 39:13Speaker 3: Well, showing up when police are standing there.
- 39:16Speaker 2: I mean, have you ever seen the program Cops, Because
- 39:22Speaker 2: there'll be a guy sitting in his easy chair in
- 39:25Speaker 2: the den throwing back a beer and cops come running
- 39:28Speaker 2: through the house and he just watches him go by
- 39:30Speaker 2: and keeps watching TV like that's normal. I mean, this
- 39:33Speaker 2: guy strolls in in his underwear with a wine glass.
- 39:37Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good look. One thing that
- 39:40Speaker 2: is to his defense is that there was no obvious
- 39:46Speaker 2: sign of foul play on the three bodies. They weren't shot,
- 39:51Speaker 2: they weren't bludgeoned dead, There was nothing to indicate they
- 39:54Speaker 2: had been murdered. So how do you wake up and
- 39:58Speaker 2: your three friends car are parked outside your house. Your
- 40:03Speaker 2: phones are full of messages and texts looking for your
- 40:08Speaker 2: three friends in there on your back porch in your garden,
- 40:12Speaker 2: and you don't know.
- 40:13Speaker 3: How did that happen?
- 40:16Speaker 2: Of course, Jordan Willis, through his lawyer, insists he had
- 40:19Speaker 2: nothing to do with this, and in our jurisprudent system,
- 40:24Speaker 2: he is always presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a
- 40:30Speaker 2: reasonable doubt.
- 40:31Speaker 3: We wait as justice unfolds.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Goodbye friend,
