概要
The Contractor Who Sold Other People's Yards - 22 Victims Revealed

Fear that the person you trusted to build your home was actually selling land he never owned starts with a single doormat and ends in a $1.3 million federal fraud case. A utility meter reader photographed a cracked green mat on Lot 22 after a dozen visits - how did that picture unravel twenty-two families’ savings and expose a contractor’s hidden debts?

In this episode, we tell how a county contractor's reputation, manila folders, and signed-but-empty "land use agreements" convinced families to pay deposits for lots he did not own. We follow the timeline from first deposits to financial tracing by investigators and ask: what happens when local trust is weaponized to cover $240,000 in obligations?

Person: Jerry Tillman
Event: Federal fraud investigation
Amount: $1.3 million
Victims: 22 families
Start date: April 2019 (doormat photograph)

- A utility meter reader photographed a dark green welcome mat on Lot 22 at 7:15 AM on a Tuesday in April 2019 after his twelfth visit to the lot in twelve months.
- Deposits from victims ranged from $15,000 to $22,000, with Doug and Patrice Hendricks paying an $18,000 deposit and Marie Mason writing a $20,000 check.
- Between 2008 and 2015 Tillman completed work on more than 40 properties in Garver County and was listed on the Chamber of Commerce roster.
- By spring 2015 Tillman carried roughly $240,000 in personal and business obligations after a speculative house sold at a loss and supplier credit went unpaid.
- Investigators traced significant deposits through Tillman’s First Garver Bank business account, finding funds moved within two to four weeks to a personal credit union account and then to mortgage servicers, credit cards, and suppliers.
