Looking for Ryan Lyke

Here is a sample of some of the comments that have been posted to this blog about Ryan Lyke: "All I wanted was a modest addition to my home and instead he walked away with $40k of my money and hasn't had to answer for any of what he's done." "Why isn't he in jail?" "He burned me for $9,900.00 on a commercial job. Any information or a law firm phone # that is suing him would be helpful. Thanks, Gary Lott" "He has been a scammer for many, many years. Hops state to state. Sorry this has happened to all of the above." "I have contacted Dateline News along with other media and putting our story out there for what it's worth. He has scammed so many people and is moving state to state. He has to be stopped!" "He scammed me for almost 70k. Did work for him as a GC at a sheraton. Kept saying he was waiting for payment or payment was on its way and he would send me a few thousand dollars here and there and would ask me to do ...

The law suits against Ryan Lyke are now too many for me to keep track of them all.  He has seemingly scammed everyone he can: customers, general contractors, subcontractors and lenders. Here is a new law suit from a new lender: Case number CL22001274-00 in Henrico Circuit Court in Virginia.  A small business lender didn't get paid back.  The court is in Virginia, likely just because the lender has operations there, not because Ryan Lyke has been there.  There is also a new law suit against Ryan Lyke in Austin: Travis County, 261st District Court, Case number D-1-GN-24-002431. There was an eviction case against Ryan Lyke in Phoenix last year (Case number CC2023126039 El Centro Justice Court). I have no new information on where he might be.  Late last year he was in Phoenix, and that is the last I know.

Ryan Lyke's ex-girlfriend has made a small update to her lawsuit against Ryan.  The case number is C-1-GN-003868 in the 98th District Court, Travis County, Texas. Here is what she is saying.

Here is the most recent timeline, best I can tell: November 2022: According to his ex-girlfriend, he moved out of the house they shared in the River Place neighborhood of Austin, Texas. Mid 2023: Ryan Lyke was living at 700 N. 4th Street, Apt. 2605 in Phoenix, Arizona in a rented apartment.  He stopped paying rent there and was evicted.  He had moved out by about August or September of 2023. October 19, 2023: He was still in the Phoenix area.  I know this because he signed some papers there on that day. I don't know for sure where he has been since. I haven't checked all the cases to see where they all stand.  I did notice that Gardner v Lyke resulted in a default judgement against Ryan Lyke for about $40,000.  (There are eight different law suits against him that I have found - I didn't check for the latest on all of them.) Latest email addresses are still: ryanglyke@icloud.com ryanlyke@gmail.com

Ryan Lyke appeared before a notary in Maricopa County, Arizona on October 19, 2023.  The notary was named Denyse L Perez. (I know this because Ryan is attempting to sell the house at 10412 Laurel Hill Cv, Austin, Texas 78730 and is trying to clear my judgement against him.)

In the Gardner v Lyke case, the court allowed service via contact to: ryanglyke@icloud.com ryanglyke@me.com hello@lykeindustries.com ryanlyke@gmail.com (716) 339-9645 The addresses where service was attempted were: 10412 Laurel Hill Cove, Austin, Texas 78730 700 N. 4th Street, Apartment 2605, Phoenix, Arizona, 85004 The last phone number I had for Ryan Lyke was (512) 688-0588.
