# Public-records OSINT + social-media guidance — fraud perpetrators

**Date:** 2026-08-15 | **Method note:** Every "VERIFIED" item below was pulled from an official
public-records system and is anchored to the addresses/names on the recorded fraudulent deeds.
Items marked "LEAD (unverified)" must be confirmed before relying on them. **Nothing here is
fabricated.** For common names, misidentification is the main risk — see the social-media section.

---

## A. VERIFIED — King County Assessor (official property records)
Confirms two of the three perpetrators are **real King County property owners at the exact addresses
on their fraudulent deeds** (strong identity anchors; also potential assets for restitution).

### Elizabeth A. Schermer — CONFIRMED owner
- **8406 6th Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98117** — King County parcel **291970-2735**
- Owner of record: **SCHERMER ELIZABETH A**; Legal: GREENWOOD PARK 2ND ADD, S 37½ FT OF N 75 FT
- House built 1924, 1,480 sf; 2026 appraised value **$794,000**
- **Note:** Douglas Shroyer lists this SAME address on his deeds but is **not** the owner of record →
  he likely resides with/at Schermer's property. (Screenshot: `KC_property_Schermer_8406.png`)

### Irene I. Ingalls — CONFIRMED owner
- **807 N 36th St, Seattle, WA 98103** — King County parcel **197220-2995**
- Owner of record: **INGALLS IRENE I**; Legal: DENNY & HOYTS ADD
- House built 1906, 2,810 sf, 3 bd / 2 ba; 2026 appraised value **$1,232,000**
- (Screenshot: `KC_property_Ingalls_807.png`)

> Investigative value: (1) confirms identities/residences to serve process and avoid misidentification;
> (2) both own substantial Seattle real estate — relevant to restitution / lis pendens / civil recovery;
> (3) Shroyer's tie to Schermer's address strengthens the "co-actor" theory.

## B. LEADS (unverified — confirm before relying)
- **Ingalls Construction LLC** appears in the Island County index as a **judgment debtor**: doc
  **#4592321** (Judgement, 10/16/2025, INGALLS CONSTRUCTION LLC → CNH Industrial Capital America LLC,
  an equipment lender). **Unconfirmed** whether this LLC is connected to *Irene* Ingalls — verify via
  WA SOS (governors/registered agent) before drawing any link.
- **WA business entities** for Shroyer / Schermer / Ingalls: the WA SOS CCFS search is **bot-gated
  (Cloudflare)** and could not be automated. Self-serve steps in Section D.
- **Notary John S. Hicks, commission #194569:** **VERIFIED (2026-08-15)** — real, currently **ACTIVE**
  WA notary in **Seattle**, no disciplinary history (WA DOL License Lookup). Commission # matches the
  name. This is NOT a fake notary; see `DOSSIER_03_notary_verification.md`. Follow-up: subpoena his
  notary **journal** for the five notarization dates (who appeared, what ID was shown).
- **Claimed land patents** (Shroyer #129 / Ingalls #3212 / Schermer #4211) name real 19th-century
  pioneers (Amos Phinney, Marshall Blinn, David Franklin). These historical patents are genuine GLO
  records but convey **nothing** to the filers — verify/print the true patents at BLM GLO
  (glorecords.blm.gov) to show the claims are baseless.

## C. Social media / personal background — HONEST assessment
- I did **not** fabricate any social-media profiles. Automated attribution of Facebook/LinkedIn/etc.
  accounts to common names ("Douglas Shroyer," "Elizabeth Schermer," "Irene Ingalls") is **unreliable
  and risks misidentifying an innocent person** — which would damage credibility with the Sheriff and
  could harm a third party. Most of these platforms are also login-walled to automation.
- **The right tool for reliable background is the detective's**, not public web scraping: Det. Bo
  Miller (case #26-I10572) has access to law-enforcement databases (e.g., Accurint/CLEAR/TLO), DOL/DMV,
  and **subpoena power** that return authoritative results (DOB, prior addresses, associates, vehicles,
  criminal history) far more accurately than open-source guessing. A licensed PI (via your attorney)
  is the civil-side equivalent.
- **What you CAN safely do yourself** to enrich the file, anchored to the verified data (do these in
  your own browser; they're quick and bot-friendly for a human):
  1. **King County Recorder** (recordsearch.kingcounty.gov) — search each name for deeds/mortgages/UCC
     revealing other properties, lenders, spouses, and signatures/notaries.
  2. **WA SOS CCFS** (ccfs.sos.wa.gov) — search "Ingalls," "Schermer," "Shroyer," and "Ingalls
     Construction" for LLCs/registered agents (business ties/assets).
  3. **WA Courts** (dw.courts.wa.gov) — already captured (COURT_findings.md); recheck periodically.
  4. **WA DOL notary lookup** — verify John S. Hicks / #194569.
  5. If you find a **social profile**, only treat it as relevant if it independently ties to
     **8406 6th Ave NW / 807 N 36th St, Seattle** or the King County parcels above — otherwise assume
     it may be a different person.

## D. Exact self-serve search steps (bot-gated sites a human can clear in seconds)
1. **WA SOS business entities** → https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/#/BusinessSearch → clear the Cloudflare
   check → Business Name "Contains" → search: `INGALLS CONSTRUCTION`, `SCHERMER`, `SHROYER`,
   `INGALLS`. Record UBI#, status, registered agent, governors, principal address.
2. **WA notary verification** → search "Washington DOL notary public search" → look up
   **commission #194569** / **Hicks, John** → record name, status, commission dates, bonding.
3. **BLM GLO patents** → https://glorecords.blm.gov → Search Documents → Patents → WA → enter the
   patent numbers / township-range (T29N R3E, T30N R3E) → print the genuine patents.
4. **King County Recorder** → https://recordsearch.kingcounty.gov → search each surname for their
   real recorded documents (identity, signatures, other assets).

Hand Sections A–B (verified + leads) to Det. Miller and your attorney; ask the detective to run the
authoritative background (DOB/associates/priors) through law-enforcement databases rather than
relying on open-source social media.
