Jordan Willis slept with noise-canceling headphones for two days
Jordan Willis’ lawyer, John Picerno, said Willis works from home and wore noise-canceling headphones for “a lot of” the two days after the Chiefs game.
He said Willis asked the men to leave his house before he went to bed that night and did not think it was strange that their cars were still on his street.
He then voluntarily allowed police to check his house on January 9, as per Kansas City Police Department.
The second search was conducted on January 11 following a warrant, as per Ross Nigro, an attorney retained by the family of Ricky Johnson.
Willis’ dogs were at his father’s house, so he had no reason to go outside in the snow, Picerno said. He only learned about the tragedy when the police knocked on his door.
