    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.

    10: Injured, Invisible & Ignored
    May 13 2025
    When a woman cleaning luxury apartments in Portland falls from a ladder and fractures her pelvis, she’s not met with care, but with silence. Left in the rain, leaning on a mophead, her injury is denied, her story twisted, and her humanity dismissed.

    In this episode, we expose how fear, immigration status, and false promises combine to erase vulnerable workers from justice and why silence from our own communities hurts the most.

    🔹 What really happened inside the Luxury High-Rise Apartments
    🔹 How “help” became hush money
    🔹 Why being undocumented doesn’t mean being unprotected

    This isn’t just about one injury. It’s about a system that counts on you staying quiet. But we won’t.

    Listen now and get the resources you need if you're undocumented and hurt at work.

    9: She Said No: Shouldn't That Be Enough?
    May 6 2025
    In this gripping episode, I take you inside an investigation I led while working as a social worker in a housing program for individuals with mental illness and addiction. When a female client bravely disclosed that she’d been sexually assaulted by another resident, who also happened to be her boyfriend, the response wasn’t outrage. It was dismissal. Defensiveness. Silence.

    You’ll hear what unfolded behind closed doors, as staff debated whether her relationship status invalidated her claim. Spoiler: it doesn’t.

    This episode challenges the idea that consent is permanent and exposes the quiet complicity of those who should have stood up but didn’t.
