I Weaponize Data to Expose Institutional Failure.

I started Valor Investigations after seeing firsthand how the system isolates, exploits, and silences our most vulnerable neighbors in this valley. I didn't enter this fight to write headlines; I entered it to build the evidence sets that force accountability.

I don’t just report on problems—I uncover the connections institutions try to bury. Using a proprietary AI-driven pipeline, I transform massive, unorganized "document dumps" into structured "Case Brains." Whether it is forensic medical auditing, public records retrieval under ORS 192, or exposing the "Guardianship-Hospice Pipeline," I find the fingerprints of fraud that others miss.

This mission is independent and entirely self-funded. To keep this engine running and continue the fight for our community, I am currently accepting paid investigative research and forensic auditing projects. If you need a deep-dive audit to find the "smoking gun" in your records, put my pipeline to work.

How a Promise Became a Locked Door

Russell Bingaman was confined behind a locked door, separated from his wife of 58 years by a system designed to protect itself. This tale of isolation, falsified records, and chemical restraints at Nadine's Nest ignited the mission of Valor Investigations, to expose the Union County Nexus and spark reform.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Russell Bingaman asked a simple question: "Why can't I leave?" Over the next seven months, his medical records would provide the answer—not through consistent documentation, but through a pattern of contradictions so fundamental they expose not just a crisis in elder care, but potential evidence of systematic Medicare fraud.

The Manipulation Matrix

How does a family come to believe that severing a 58-year marriage is an act of mercy? "The Manipulation Matrix" answers this question by turning the investigation inward, exposing the systematic deception of Russell Bingaman's own children. It reveals how loving children, cornered into an impossible choice, were tragically manipulated into enforcing their father's isolation, believing the cruelty was a kindness.

The
Complicit Watchdog

This is the story of how the local DHS office, far from being an impartial investigator, became an active participant in the tragedy of Russell Bingaman—a 76-year-old man who was isolated, chemically restrained, and ultimately died under suspicious circumstances. It is a story I am uniquely positioned to tell, because I am the investigative journalist who filed the reports DHS chose to ignore, and who formally appealed the decisions they strategically buried.

Investigating abuse. Demanding accountability.

I expose systemic failures in healthcare and elder care through forensic document auditing and aggressive public transparency. My work gives families the evidence they need to force institutional change and protect those the system has abandoned.

Data-Driven Investigations

I weaponize advanced AI pipelines and on-the-ground research to uncover patterns of neglect and fraud that others miss. By transforming thousands of pages of raw data into structured 'Case Brains,' I deliver evidence that is unignorable, actionable, and courtroom-ready.

Whistleblower Integrity

I provide secure, confidential channels for staff, residents, and families to report abuse without fear of retaliation. As an independent investigator, my only loyalty is to the truth and the safety of the vulnerable—not the institutions that shield their abusers.

Navigating the System

I curate specialized resources and guides to help families navigate the complexities of resident rights and administrative law. I empower you to move beyond 'asking for help' and start demanding safety and dignity through informed advocacy.

Forensic Research & Consulting

I offer specialized forensic research and case-auditing for law firms and advocacy organizations. This professional work directly funds my independent investigations and ensures that Valor Investigations remains a self-sustained force for the public interest.

Your questions, expertly answered

Insightful answers. Transparent process.

Transparency isn’t just a goal; it’s my primary weapon against institutional 'look-away.' I’ve built this section to provide a direct look at the technical process I use to dismantle systemic abuse. I don’t just provide answers I provide the verifiable evidence architecture that makes the truth unignorable. From forensic document audits to mapping the 'Union County Nexus,' this is the roadmap of how I turn chaotic data into accountability.

What is your investigative approach?

I attack abuse of power with facts, records, and structure, not vibes.

My approach is operational rather than philosophical. I operate primarily from a high-power digital workstation using advanced AI tools to process massive piles of documents that others often find overwhelming. I don't just "look into things"; I build a structured, semi-automated evidence machine to uncover the truth.

My methodology follows four distinct phases:

  • Forensic Data Acquisition: I use Oregon public records law (ORS 192) and administrative escalations to pry open doors that institutions try to keep shut. I secure everything from medical charts to internal agency emails and court transcripts.
  • AI-Driven Evidence Architecture: I process raw data through a custom Python pipeline that handles Bates-numbering, claim-to-page mapping, and citation auditing. This ensures every allegation is backed by a verifiable, indexed record.
  • Pattern Identification: I look for the "fingerprints" of systemic corruption—late-night chart edits, suspicious medication patterns like ABHR overuse, and fraudulent hospice certifications. I connect individual cases to reveal broader, RICO-style patterns of abuse.
  • Narrative Leveraging: Once the evidence is airtight, I use investigative journalism and formal administrative complaints (to the FBI, CMS, or DOJ) to force accountability and create public awareness.

My goal is simple: To turn unorganized "document dumps" into unignorable evidence structures that protect the vulnerable and expose those who prey on them.

Which issues are prioritized in reporting?

I prioritize cases where there is a clear intersection of systemic abuse, institutional "look-away," and verifiable data.

I don’t chase "vibes" or general grievances; I go where the records lead. Because I am a one-man shop, I have to be surgical about where I apply my resources. My reporting priorities are defined by three main pillars:

  • Systemic Corruption & The "Nexus": I prioritize cases that reveal how local power structures—attorneys, judges, and state agencies—collude to shield one another from accountability. If a case shows a repeatable "playbook" used to steamroll multiple families, it becomes a top priority.
  • Vulnerability & Isolation: I focus heavily on the "Guardianship-Hospice Pipeline". My highest priority is documenting the orchestrated isolation of seniors from their families, particularly when it is used as a tool to facilitate financial exploitation or chemical restraint.
  • Verifiable Fraud: I look for the "Smoking Gun" in the data. This means prioritizing issues where I can prove chart manipulation, fraudulent Medicare certifications, or proxy prescribing through forensic document analysis.
  • Institutional Failure: I prioritize reporting on the "watchdogs" that have joined the pack. When DHS, the Oregon State Bar, or Disability Rights Oregon (DRO) ignore clear evidence of abuse, I make it my mission to document their inaction and force a response through public records escalations.

In short: I prioritize the stories that the system is trying the hardest to bury.

What is the process for reporting abuse?

Submit information securely via my encrypted channels. Every report is carefully evaluated by me, with strict protocols in place to protect the confidentiality and safety of all sources.

Is anonymity guaranteed for whistleblowers?

Absolutely. I employ security measures to protect your identity and never release personal details without your explicit permission, ensuring your safety throughout the process.

How do you sustain your investigations?

To date, I pay for it myself—and that isn't a sustainable long-term model.

For the last 18 months, Valor Investigations has been entirely self-funded. I have poured my own savings, my time, and my technical skill set into these cases because I couldn't walk away from the abuse I was seeing.

In the past, I sustained myself through technical gig work—installing camera systems, managing networks, and repairing hardware. However, the sheer scale of these investigations—auditing thousands of pages of medical records and building federal-level evidence pipelines—is now a full-time operation that leaves no room for the manual labor I used to do.

Moving forward, I am sustaining this mission by transitioning into a paid professional services model. I am currently seeking:

  • Paid Investigative Research: Helping attorneys and families audit massive document sets to find the "smoking gun".
  • Forensic Data Auditing: Identifying fraud, waste, and abuse in medical and financial records.
  • Administrative Advocacy: Building evidence-backed dossiers for individuals fighting state agency denials.

I’m a Marine veteran operating as a one-man shop without a legal team or institutional backing. If you want to see this work continue, you can support it by hiring me for specialized research or contributing to the investigative fund. I’m not just reporting on the problem; I’m building the cases to fix it, but I need the community's support to stay in the fight.

How can individuals support your mission?

The most effective way to support this mission is to put my skills to work.

I’ve spent the last 18 months building a "semi-automated prosecution-style evidence machine" entirely on my own dime. To keep this engine running and continue exposing systemic corruption in Eastern Oregon, I am transitioning Valor Investigations into a sustainable professional services model.

Here is how you can support the work:

  • Hire Me for Investigative Research: If you are an attorney or a family dealing with a "document dump" in a guardianship or medical case, hire me to build your Case Brain. I can audit thousands of pages of records to find the "smoking gun" patterns of fraud and isolation that institutional watchdogs miss.
  • Utilize My Administrative Advocacy Services: If you are fighting a state agency like DHS or EOCCO over a denied claim or withheld records, let me use my experience with ORS 192 and public records escalations to help you build an undeniable evidence dossier.
  • Support the "Russell Bingaman Memorial Act": Help me turn this research into permanent legal change. We are advocating for legislative reforms to mandate 24-hour hospice notifications and a high bar for family isolation.
  • Share the Investigations: Public awareness is a shield. My methods of "advocacy through journalism" only work if the public is watching. Read the reports on Valor-Investigations.com, share them, and help me shine a light on the "Union County Nexus".
  • Whistleblower Contributions: If you have information regarding elder exploitation, Medicare fraud, or suspicious deaths in the guardianship system, reach out securely. Your evidence is the fuel for this pipeline.

I am a one-man shop fighting to protect the vulnerable. By hiring me for professional research, you aren't just getting a document audit—you are funding the investigation that holds broken systems accountable.
