According to his attorney, Lee received a text message from McGeeney’s fiancee and Johnson’s mother, both asking about their loved ones.
Lee sent text messages to Willis and Johnson, but did not receive a response from either of them.
Lee’s attorney’s version of events contradicts several statements made by Willis’ attorney, John Picerno, including that Willis saw his four friends outside around 2 a.m. and then went to sleep on his couch.

It also contradicts Picerno’s claims that Willis did not receive any text messages, only messages through Facebook Messenger.
Messages to Talge were not immediately returned.
Loved ones of the victims have publicly pointed fingers at Willis, and Harrington’s father has said he “doesn’t believe” the HIV research scientist’s version of what happened.
However, Willis’ family stands behind him and says they are mourning the loss of their friends in this strange case.
“I would never in a million years do anything,” Jordan Willis’ father told The Post on Thursday.
“These were all good friends of his, they were all people he went to school with and he took them to a football game the day before for the Chiefs.”
