Kerrie Jordan direct examination (Hathaway)

Kerrie Jordan continued her direct testimony. Shortly after closing on their Lone Jack home, Jordan filed a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General's office about the shoddy construction of her home.

On August 6th, 2006, Ms. Jordan received an email from Sandra Jo Harris, asking if Jordan would drop the complaint in exchange for fixing all the items on Jordan's list. Oddly, the signature of Ms. Harris' email indicated that her employer was 'HCI Mortgage Loans'.

In mid-August, 2006, Ms. Jordan was further complaining about the construction of the home and phoned Jeff Miller. She inquired why the sales price had been changed from $200,000 to $220,000. Miller told her that he had a 'signed and dated' contract at 220K. Although Jordan was promised a copy of that contract to be sent in the mail the following day, she has never received a copy of the 'new' contract.

August 31, 2006, an attorney in the office that Jordan worked, drafted a letter to F. Jeffrey Miller's attorney, Pete Smith. The letter was read into the record and detailed the forged sales contract.

Ms. Jordan testified that she has never made a payment on the second mortgage held by Miller. Miller has neither sued nor made a demand for payments from the Jordans.

At the end of direct examination of Ms. Jordan, US Attorney, Rich Hathaway, questioned Ms. Jordan about her prior convictions. Jordan testified that she had plead guilty to one count of felony identity theft.
