Three Barry County residents have been charged by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office for allegedly stealing more than $5 million from at least 45 people — including multiple disabled or elderly individuals — after allegedly taking payments and entering construction contracts but providing either no work or incomplete work.

Donald Erwin, 51, of Barry County, is charged with three counts of stealing $25,000 or more, four counts of deceptive business practices and two counts of financial exploitation of elder/disabled person, one of which is a Class A felony.

Amanda Ross, 42, of Cassville, is charged with four counts of stealing $25,000 or more, eight counts of deceptive business practices and four counts of financial exploitation of elder/disabled person, two of which are Class A felonies.

William Ross, 52, of Cassville, is charged with two counts of stealing $25,000 or more and two counts of deceptive business practices.

Erwin was arrested on Nov. 10, and Amanda Ross and David Ross were arrested on Nov. 12. All three are being held in the Barry County jail on cash-only bonds of $1.3 million each.

According to a probable cause statement filed by Jim Garrett, an investigator with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, Erwin was a managerial agent for Endless Concepts Contracting, LLC (Endless Concepts), owned by Amanda Jane Ross and William David Ross, and he was co-owner of Boss Hog Barndominiums, LLC and Boss Hog Contracting, LLC. Records show Erwin owned 25% of Boss Hog and represented himself with titles such as Vice President of National Construction and co-owner.

Garrett said the Attorney General’s office has received at least 45 complaints from consumers regarding Endless Concepts and Boss Hog, alleging that in exchange for up-front payments, the companies would provide architectural and engineering plans upon which house could be built, as well as agreements for construction of barndominium homes. 

However, consumers allegedly received shoddy plans upon which homes could not be safely built, and in some cases bore forged architect or engineering stamps. Garrett also said most complainants never received any work on the barndominiums, and the few who received any work received shoddy work.

The total amount of money received by Endless Concepts and Boss Hog entities from the Attorney General complaints is approximately $5,001,799. 

Funds were allegedly deposited into Endless Concepts bank accounts maintained at banks in Barry County and controlled by Amanda Ross and William Ross. Money fro those accounts was then sent to Boss Hog’s JPMorgan Chase accounts, of which Amanda Ross and Erwin were signatories.

Garrett’s probable cause statements listed five complainants specifically, all of whom signed agreements with the companies in 2024 and 2025.

On Feb. 25, 2025, a complainant paid Boss Hog $4,500 for architectural plans, and on April 3, 2025, a contract was signed for Boss Hog to build a home for $449,291.74. From April 2025 through February 2026, the complainant paid $327,419.04 to Endless Concepts but allegedly received no labor, materials or refund.

On Dec. 31, 2024, a complainant paid Boss Hog $5,195 for architectural plans, and a contract was signed on March 4, 2025 to build a barndominium for $429,493.92. On March 10, 2025 the complainant paid $128,848.18 to Endless Concepts, which allegedly did not provide labor or materials, nor honor its termination agreement promising a refund.

On or about Dec. 31, 2025, another complainant disabled by severe leg injuries resulting in mechanical reconstruction paid Boss Hog $5,195 for architectural plans, and a contract was signed on March 4, 202, to build a barndominum for $212,858.94. On March 10, the complainant paid $63,857.68 to Endless Concepts, which allegedly did not provide labor or materials, nor honor its termination agreement promising a refund.

On Jan. 8, 2025, a complainant signed a contract with Boss Hog to build a barndominum for $943,288.18, and on Sept. 3, 2025, the complainant paid $96,301.07 to Endless Concepts, which allegedly did not provide labor or materials, nor a refund.

On May 24, 2024, a complainant who is a veteran and hose wife is a disabled veteran paid Boss Hog $6,234 for architectural plans which later turned out to be unusable. On Oct. 23, 2024, a contract was signed to build a barndominum for $532,076, and from October 24, 2024, through Nov. 7, 2025, the complainant paid $400,488.52 to Endless Concepts, which allegedly abandoned the incomplete project and failed to pay subcontractors and vendors $116,085.27 for work and materials, which the complainant had to pay despite having already provided the money to Endless Concepts. Additionally, the complainant also had to pay $24,000 to fix shoddy work allegedly caused by Boss Hog’s shoddy plans. Endless Concepts did not refund the complainant.

The total amount lost for all victims listed is approximately $910,672,.49.

In another probable cause statement filed by Garrett against Amanda Ross, she is identified as co-owner of Endless Concepts and CEO of Boss Hog Barndominiums.

The statement included all complainants listed in Ewrin’s statement, plus three more.

On or about July 2, 2024, a complainant paid Boss Hog $4,156 for architectural plans they later learned were too shoddy for building. On June 12, 2024, the complainant signed a contract to build a home for $353,504.84. On Sept. 26, 2024, the complainant paid $36,544.95 to Endless Concepts, which did not provide labor or materials, nor a refund.

In approximately June 2025, married complainants over the age of 60 purchase plans from Boss Hog later determined to be un usable. On Aug. 4, 2025, they signed a contract to build a home for $600,000. The complainants paid $180,000 to Endless Concepts, which did not provide any labor or materials, nor a refund.

On Dec. 23, a complainant who is a disabled U.S. Air Force veteran paid Boss Hog $4,675 for architectural plans later determined too shoddy to use. On July 7, 2025, the complainant signed a contract to build a home for $714,562.34 and paid $71,456.23 to Endless Concepts, which did not provide any labor, materials, nor a refund.

The total amount listed for all victims in Amanda Ross’ probable cause statement is $1,207,505.17.

A separate probable cause statement for William Ross identifies him as co-owner of Endless Concepts and Superintendent of General Contracting for Boss Hog.  His statement listed two of the previously identified complainants, with a total amount lost by victims of $368,119.99.

The statement also said William Ross’ previous arrests include assault on special victims, resisting arrest, interference with the legal process and unlawful use of a weapon.

Amanda Ross was arrested in April on an out-of-state warrant for felony fraud. At that time, she had active felony fraud cases in at least three states — Georgia, New York and Colorado — as well as an investigation into alleged theft from H&H Pool Hall, for which charges were never filed. The victim in that investigation provided court documents from other states where Ross had been summoned to court.
