The investigation into the death of Harris focused heavily on his father's extramarital sexual affairs. On the day of Harris's death, Ross had been sending and receiving sexually explicit texts (some with nude images) in conversations with six persons, including one under the age of consent. Detectives also later said that they found Ross's responses during his interrogation to be unusual—one reported hearing Ross say "I cant believe this is happening to me" and "I'll be charged with a felony."
