    17: Twice Stolen, Twice Suspect: Déjà Vu in Portland
    Jul 30 2025
    Two newer cars. Two stolen vehicle claims. Two identical stories that didn’t add up.

    In this episode of Top Priority Chronicles, host Jammie Carr takes you inside a case that felt like déjà vu in Portland. The claimant remembered where he bought both vehicles from dealerships, but conveniently couldn’t remember where he parked them, twice, in two different high-theft neighborhoods. Add in a vague “friend” with no contact information, erratic behavior, and suspicious patterns that matched claim #1 to a T… and the investigation went from routine to remarkable.

    Join Jammie as she breaks down how fraud investigators recognize red flags, connect patterns across claims, and what really happens when a case crosses the line from suspicious to fraudulent. Because in this business, lightning doesn’t just strike twice… sometimes, it’s a setup.

    It’s one of the most heartbreaking discoveries an investigator can face: a person traveling for work, found deceased in a hotel room—far from home, far from family. In this episode of Top Priority Chronicles, we confront a sobering truth that is rarely discussed but happens more often than you’d think.

    From a National Guard member found lifeless in his Oregon City hotel room after a suspected shower accident, to a long-term business guest discovered deceased in a Beaverton Hilton with no clear cause—these cases aren’t isolated. And while they’re not widespread, they are uncommonly common.

    Host Jammie Carr shares real stories from the field, the quiet pain families face when they receive that unexpected call, and what you can do today to protect yourself and your loved ones while traveling solo.

    12: When the Answer is 'No': The Limits of Closure
    Jun 17 2025
    What happens when the truth is found—but it still doesn’t bring peace?

    In Episode 12 of Top Priority Chronicles, Investigator Jammie Carr shares one of her earliest private cases: a young man named Edward, raised in the foster care system, reaches out for help to find his biological father. He has a name, a city, and a lifetime of questions.

    The investigation is straightforward. The outcome is anything but.

    As Jammie uncovers the man Edward believes is his father, she’s met with a firm denial and an unwillingness to even revisit the possibility. Despite Edward’s quiet confidence and deep hope, the door to confirmation remains closed.

    This episode explores what it means to search for truth in a world where not everyone wants to be found—and where some answers leave deeper questions behind.

    You’ll hear:

    • The emotional weight of family search investigations

    • Why managing expectations matters more than ever

    • What “closure” really looks like when the answer is no

    Sometimes, finding the truth isn’t the hardest part. It’s what happens next.
