She's a judge! A world-class surfer! A famous rock star on tour!

No, actually she's a middle-age woman in Newcastle, California, who runs an assisted living facility inside her home.

Meet 39 year old Tamara Jean Merrill, mother of Brittany, wife of Patrick.  Her facility is licensed by the state, but does not take Medicaid or Medicare.  If you want to stay in her home, ante up.

I was given an email address last night and asked to trace it.  I wasn't told who it belonged to or why, but I was tired last night, so I put it off til today, and started on it at about 3 or so.  It was all too easy.  After I made the discoveries, I was told why I was asked to do this.  This not-quite-master of deception has stalked people, bullied people, and posted outrageous things about people with no intention other than to harm and humiliate them.  And she's pretended to be everything from law enforcement to a contact of the Kyron Horman family, gaining people's trust with her deceptive games and lies. For that, SoCal earns a place on the Scam Girl blog.

The screenshots and other stuff that were forwarded to me were astonishingly cruel. I thought that perhaps this was a case in which the person who sent the stuff was mistaken, but, no, everything matches up.

Let's start with the dumbest thing a person on the net can do: troll and bully when there are reams of identifying info out there on the net.  The second dumbest thing anyone can do is TRUST anyone else on the internet.  To do so is STUPID.  So, that aside,  let's move on and discuss the research:

First, SoCal was stupid enough to publicly post her email address and tell people to contact her.  By doing so, she laid the first little crumb for me to trace.

socalbreeze@sbcglobal.net is a real address.  Pings real, and tracerouts real.  And comes back to:


Tj j Merrill
Brittany Merrill
Patrick Merrill
Newcastle, CA

From there the trail just continued and continued and...you get the idea...continued until I got bored with this completely mundane person.

Tamara Merrill has had many aliases and moved around California a bit.


SoCal's address is the same as Merrill Assisted Living Family Home, in Newcastle, which, incidentally is in Placer County about 20 miles from where Terri Horman was born.  Hmmmm...





Her assisted-living home is licensed by the state of California:






Tamara, who goes by TJ, never locked down her Photobucket, which is registered under the socalbreeze@scbglobal.net address.  Silly wabbit.  So I grabbed some photos before it's sealed off as tight as Tut's tomb. You've seen the one in the previous post.  While most of her stuff there is reminiscent of Casey Anthony's Photobucket account (icons and such silly junk), there are also family photos.  Again, silly wabbit, don't you know better than to post family photos on an account you use to troll the internet?

SoCal and Patrick, obviously years ago. Photo file was tagged meandpatrick:



Flash forward in time, and a daughter comes along. File was named britandpatrick:



And here are some photos of SoCal within the past several years:




 

  




SoCal posted "documents" and a couple of photos on her facebook to prove that she's "real."  So what?  I saw that Bootsie TehCat did the same thing.  Anyone can post anything on the internet and call it "really me."  Example:  Here is SoCal's international driving permit, followed by Bootsie's.






And here's a photo that SoCal claims is her, kicking some ass *rolleyes* :





Here's a photo of SoCal's daughter, striking a pose:




I think it's pretty obvious that SoCal is neither a surfer nor a rock star.  I think it's fairly obvious that SoCal posted her daughter's photo with the face blacked out, and claimed it to be herself.  I suspect that the 2001 ID card, 2009 driver's license, and the edited photo all belong to SoCal's daughter.

I know that life as a caregiver is probably lacking in thrills, so who can blame SoCal for claiming to be a judge/surfer/rock star from Cali. It is distressing, though, that the personality that posted some of the cruel, outrageous stuff I've seen in screenshots is actually giving care to people who can't care for themselves.

Like I said before, I've really become bored with the SoCal search today.  I'm not bored with Marybeth, though, so I'll return to that topic soon.

If anyone wants to send me anything they find on SoCal with the info I've provided here, please do - I'd like to see what you come up with.  You can find me on Scam Girl Blog at facebook.

____________

I have a friend who runs criminal records for me... If there's anything significant, I'll update.  Until then, I think this mystery has been solved and everyone can put to rest the SoCal thing.

  1. Oh no. This pathological person owns a personal care home. I am frightened for the residents. Who is watching the cash paying residents when she is on the computer 24/7. Does she tell the cash paying residents' families wild lies too. "Oh, your elderly Alzheimer's affected dad
    like to be tied to the bed." I am sickened by this information.

  2. The IP in the email sent to R.T. was from Comcast Cable in KS. I guess it is safe to assume that Tracey and SoCal were working very closely together in this nasty charade along with MB.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Anonymous 9:21. Why someone who trolled as hard as she did didn't triple-proxy up is beyond my comprehension.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Let me say also that all one has to do is google "Kansas IP" and you can find one on the internet. Then just go to an IP tracer, put in that IP, and out comes an ISP, location, and map that you can screenshot.

    Just because someone posts a screenshot of an IP trace does not mean that that IP belongs to that person.

  5. Impressive sleuthing, scamgirl. Keep busting their chops and the world will be a safer place for all.

    She really is a boring plain jane. Guess she has such a boring life she needed to live a make believe life on facebook. Kinda sad. I would feel sorry for her if she hadn't been so mean to so many people.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thanks Anon. I haven't initiated the criminal records search yet, so she may or may not be as boring as she initially appears. Honestly I am so damn bored with this woman, and I only spent about two hours on her. I had to down some excedrin just for the caffeine content to stay awake.

  7. Check the complaints to the care provider registry. All those alias's and the fact she doesn't accept Medicare or Medicaid could point to some fraud, billing irregularities, quality of care complaints, licensing issues, ect. Anyone in that business that doesn't take Medicare CANT take Medicare. Medicare is the Holy Grail of those types of businesses.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I will do that tomorrow. Shouldn't be a problem to get that info.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wonder if the state of California knows what goes on in their licensed facility when patient care is the number one priority maybe an investigation is in order.

    ReplyDelete
  10. That's definately her daughter in the blacked out photo. What kind of mom would use her kid in this way? What a warped person.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I am curious about how one goes about running an "assisted living home" in a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 2016 square foot house? Sounds more like they are just renting out rooms and providing meals for $6,000 a month. Doesn't sound like a real assisted living home at all. Another scam? Get old people to ante up and you don't have to have a real job!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Anon, that would be a good question for the guy who inspects that house. I have his phone number if you want to call him and ask him a few questions.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I would also like to see some evidence of her "cruelty" you judge this person without presenting any evidence ... aren't nursing home owners allowed to have their own life - after all, that are doing what these people's own family members REFUSE to do ... THEY are the ones who put their "loved ones" in this person's hands ... seems to me that THEY are the cruel ones - the loveless ones and the abusive, more so that this individual who opened her home and is willing to take on that enormous responsibility - no one seems to be complaining about her but YOU! what gives you that right?

    ReplyDelete
  14. the fact that you find her so "dumb" and unaware of the fact that she can be so easily "exposed" speaks to her innocence ... we all "role play" every day ... we costume up in the AM and play the role during the day ... some days we feel like a rock star ... others we feel like a queen, there is no respect for "care givers" even though they at least provide a service ... and "role playing" is not a crime

    ReplyDelete
  15. if anyone is a Judge here, it is you ... your judgment is based upon superficial evidence, and shallow to say the least ... it takes a special kind of person to care for others that they they have no responsibility for ... if she were abusing her "boarders" it would be another matter, but apparently she ISN'T - no one is complaing about her abilities as a Home care provider ... just her way of dealing with her frustrations - which we have all learned how to deal with when we step into cyber-world - its not REAL in here ... get over it - there are already too many Judges in this world

    ReplyDelete
  16. putting one's parents in a "home" is the real crime here -

  17. Hi Scamgirl :) I just came across your blog today, and am seriously wondering if this is the same chick who is striking again :S It sickens me to think this might be her striking in the case of a missing 11 month old baby. If you are interested in checking it out, this is the link to the Facebook group she created: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-for-Lisa-Irwin/290185081005988 I will check back to see if you reply ;) Keeping baby Lisa in my prayers <3 Thank you so much. I look forward to following your blog and reading the archives :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. yes, please follow up on who is running the facebook page mentioned above me. Seems it should be illegal what he or she is doing

    ReplyDelete
  19. wow what a person i wonder if the people she cares for know she spends all that time on the net doesnt she have old people to care for

    ReplyDelete
  20. She is also on websleuths as HatesSociopaths.

    ReplyDelete
  21. the person on the JFLI page are doing a Q & A. Says he is male and lives in the Western US. Hmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is the owner of this blog still around or is the blog too old?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Switch genders and coasts, sneaky shit.

    Like we would fall for that.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I thought Tamara was from California? JFLI said he lives in the Western US. Could be California

    ReplyDelete
  25. And why does this woman do this? For reward money, attention? Creepy

    ReplyDelete
  26. JFLI needs psychiatric help. I hate to think of that lunatic taking care of the elderly.

    ReplyDelete
  27. How can we find out if it is the same person?

    ReplyDelete
  28. *I meant following the websleuths Lisa Irwin forum.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't know what happened to my previous post. I followed the Lisa Irwin forum on websleuths for awhile. HatesSociopaths said that SHE was a local near Kansas City and has an LE background. I thought some of HatesSociopaths posts were creepy so I made sure to pay attention.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm trying to find out if this is the same person or not too.

    When asked: " Do you know who this Tamara Merrill is, that people continue to say is you? I always had the impression that you are a man...don't know why...lol"

    "He" replied: "I am a man. Heard the Tamara theory a lot. lol."

    Please are so trusting, to share info, email, etc. I fear that they are falling into a trap. They've been warned repeatedly by others, but disregard the warnings.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I saw the denial too and I don't believe it. Justice is so sketchy and angry. She is probably this Tamara woman.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I wish we could pin it down and know for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I feel that it is a woman running that facebook site. I never heard of a man throwing up because he had to ask Russ P.(a local reporter) a question and didn't get an answer. The question she asked of him was if he was working for Taco. When he didn't email her back she was freaked. She later deleted all of those posts. Some have said it could be that Tony Calabrese dude that tried to insert himself into the Holly Bobo case via a facebook page but I don't think so. The tone is not the same.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I have spoken to her on websleuths where she SHE invited me to her page Justice for Lisa Irwin so if you know who HatesSociopaths is, then you know who runs that FB group, they are the same person.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is is taken from her WS page. Can you verify this information.

    Yes, as some have wondered, I really do hate sociopaths. I have put one in jail for fraud, received death threats from one, been completely suckered by one. Actually that was all the same person. I saw EVIL, up close, and WOKE UP. I now sense the conduct very early on when it is present, and look for more clues. These monsters are responsible for the chaos in the world today. They should know that I am their enemy, and will do everything I can to prevent them from doing further harm.

    ReplyDelete
  36. very interesting. I'm not familiar what went on with the Kyron case that people are talking about with this woman. Was there a lot of trouble? Kyron..another sad case.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Does she do it for reward money?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Someone should email "Justice for Lisa Irwin" and get the I.P address and anyone can trace her.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I was just thinking the same thing about the IP address!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. But then again, she might be smarter than that to relpy..knowing people could ping the IP.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Has anyone contacted the owner of this blog about looking into this?

    ReplyDelete
  42. i did email her and she emailed me back but i dont know how to get the ip address

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ok i got the I.P address!!!
    The person is a guy...Lives in Beverly Hills California...and where i searched the ip address people left comments....

    ReplyDelete
  44. I know how to check for it! Hang on, I'll post instructions...

    ReplyDelete
  45. Can I have the IP address to do some digging please? I tried tracing, just with the email address, and I actually got information for Beverly Hills California, which I really don't think is accurate...

    ReplyDelete
  46. I did the same thing from the email address...so we probabaly have the same info then...someone who actually emailed this person needs to post an IP address from the email...thats the only way we r gonna b certain who this person is..

    ReplyDelete
  47. I've tested this site out, and it seems accurate! http://www.ipligence.com/geolocation

    ReplyDelete
  48. OH :( Yeah...you can't do it from just the email address...we need the IP :(

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think we can do a little investigating of our own. I have an idea, but won't be able to do it until later...I'm on my way out the door. TTYL :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. I wish there was a way WE could email each other privately without posting our email addy on a public forum. K, I'm off to give it a shot ;)

    ReplyDelete
  51. I will now wait and see. It seems that she doesn't reply to anyone's emails. One girl emailed Justice before she realized what could happen, and is not worried about it :( This sucks that innocent people who have good intentions to help, are being taken advantage of.

    ReplyDelete
  52. No luck :( He/she seems smart enough to not reply to the emails that people have sent her/him.

    ReplyDelete
  53. What you need to do it get someone to email her that she would respond back to. She has burned a few bridges with some of the people connected with this case. I am sure they may be able to help you.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Shes on HinkeyMeter too

  55. I wouldn't know who to ask to email her, and if I did, I don't see anyone wanting to put themselves in the position for her to get their IP address. Many have emailed her, however she has not emailed them back...

    ReplyDelete
  56. @Chrissyc, I tried the link you posted, and it says the page cannot be found. Do you know what her username is on that site?

    ReplyDelete
  57. She has emailed me.

  62. You have to get the IP address from the header in the email she sent you. You can't just put the email address into the tracker...it's not accurate. A site to help you find the IP is: http://aruljohn.com/info/howtofindipaddress/

    It depends on what email client you use, how you go about finding the info.

    Once you get the IP address, go to this site, and pop it in: http://www.ipligence.com/geolocation

  66. I really don't think that is a fake/cover profile. I think it's the real deal, and now I feel bad that everyone is giving him such a hard time :S

    ReplyDelete
  67. What does the johnny nunez page mean?

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think the Johnny page is s a fake page to cover for this Tamara woman

    ReplyDelete
  69. Not sure if Crazy has a username on HinkyMeter but Valhall (admin-great page, chk it out) mentions her webslueths name:
    www.thehinkymeter.com/2011/10/08/lisa-irwin-case-polygraphs-dumpster-fires-and-landfills/
    (hope this link works)

    [EDIT NOTE: Thanks to Websleuths' member HatesSociopaths I was corrected on something I was VERY wrong on, and I actually have to say that I feel much better at this time knowing this. In this news report Capt. Steve Young confirms that the parents told them of the missing cell phones that morning. Special thanks to HatesSociopaths for setting me straight.]

    *TheHinkeyMeter is one of the best websites to follow! I was shocked when I seen one of tamaras well known user names getting recognition from Valhall (who isn't a stalker like tamara)

    ReplyDelete
  70. so HatesSociopaths is JFLI and Tamara?

    ReplyDelete
  71. IMO she created that fake FB profile ...... notice it was created about the same time people began to suspect it was her posting as 'justice'.

    ReplyDelete
  72. i posted this the other day on another blog entry here:

    TJ's been around pulling this crap since at LEAST 2007.

    ReplyDelete
  73. He/She does say that they are interested in motorcycles on their HatesSociopaths profile on websleuths...

    ReplyDelete
  74. Someone on JFLI asked why she does this and this was her answer. Sound familiar?

    Justice for Lisa Irwin
    ‎1. Concerned citizen 2. Because I hate sociopath type people and Debbie is an evil bitch who killed her baby and is trying to con the world. That's when I step in. I love to fight sociopaths. It is my favorite hobby. I hate them with a pas...sion. They have ruined many lives. Ever since Casey Anthony got away with murdering her two year old daughter, I have been upset with our justice system like never before. I feel this is a copy-cat crime with a vicious scam involved for $$$. Frankly, you can get away with murder in this country because our system is so criminal friendly. If you have friends who will be your alibi, if you can create a patsy who easily fits the part (Jersey), if you can keep your mouth shut, you can kill somebody and get away with it. That's wrong. Do we have anything we can do about this? I believe we do. It's pages like this that demand the truth, investigate and sleuth out the case and provide new leads for police. Now if Jason doesn't hear from the police, let me know and I will know I am pissing in the wind, because I think he should be asked about his connections to the parties involved. It does not mean he is involved, but maybe he knows how this could have gone down, maybe he can get people to talk. He clearly has a presence there as an artist and he could probably make some calls and crack the case. Maybe not, but still, I think he is looked up to in those circles. 3. Far away from KC. 4. You don't. 5. BYC is Dane's cousin and they are very tight. Lando is another friend of BYC, Dane, Jason and Ryan. 6.

  75. Justice for Lisa Irwin I think people rely too much on the police and justice system. When psychotic bitches like Casey Anthony get away with murder, that's a red flag that something about our system is wrong. This page is a sort of pilot program of my own creation to combat the faults in our system that would allow a sociopathic mother to take her child away before that child has a chance to defend herself/himself

  80. Justice for Lisa Irwin The concept that someone would defend someone who is involved in the disappearance of a precious, beautiful Baby girl is unfathomable and grotesque to me. It is below the ape family as to intelligence.

  82. Heads up, her IP is traced to Google headquarters in CA. Smart cookie, she is. But, I did run the IP through the threat/fraud level and her IP address has a threat level of 14 which means she's up to no good on her computer. A normal Joe or Jane should have a threat level of 0. Guess old Tamara Merrill is at it again, but more later on my convo and almost meeting with her and her hubby. Yes, I confronted her on JFLI and we had a chat, she wanted to meet when I called her out, said we could meet in Auburn, she said she would bring Patrick so she's back in the game. Then she deleted all posts and banned me.
    I went on her page for 5 minutes for sole purpose of calling her out.

  84. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had
    a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!

    Look at my web site; www.userbook.eu
