Most of you have probably already seen the Inside Edition segment where they were able to locate the house that Timmy Gaudette lived in at the time of the July 1st entry in Kavanaugh's calendar. Other than the floor plan matching Dr. Ford's description, something else stood out to me. You can't actually see the staircase or the front door from the living room.
Today Senator Collins implied to millions of people that one of the reasons Dr. Ford isn't to be believed, according to her, is because surely Dr. Ford's friend Leland, if not someone else at the gathering, would have ran after Dr. Ford to see what was wrong and why she was taking off so quickly.
However, Dr. Ford stated that everyone was in the living room when she ran down the stairs and left. If Timmy's house was indeed the location of the assault, it would explain perfectly why nobody would have followed her outside to check on her. They wouldn't have been able to see her leave from where they were at in the living room. Dr. Ford would have likely been long gone before Leland even realized she wasn't there anymore.
Here's the segment in case anyone hasn't seen it:

(51,726 posts)She claimed she would abide by her strong belief in a 2-term term limit for political office, even if there are none for Senators. She lied. She proceeded to run for (and win) reelection THREE TIMES.

(4,533 posts)Timmys house is 507 azalea dr unit 34 Rockville. The owner today is Timothy Guadette, living in Colorado, per property tax records. Having looked at photos of a unit with the same floor plan as Timmys house I know Dr Ford was in Timmys house. It is a narrow small townhouse probably unlike any home of his affluent classmates. Timmys mom had or was going through a divorce. She no longer lived in the big house on a big corner lot shown in their yearbook as Timmys house. Dr Fords description of the crime scene matched Timmys atypical house 100% perfectly. I forget whether the staircase can be seen from the living room. If you search you can find photos of a unit with the same floor plan and you can see if the staircase is visible. But be careful, I think a local news crew may have gone to the wrong unit and filmed inside it. Similar but a bit different.

(409 posts)townhouses in the video I posted and am referring to? It has the same white building next door with the same steps leading to it? It looks like they've changed the color of the shutters on one unit, but that's the only difference I can spot. The Inside Edition segment shows the outside of the townhouses and they show which one was his and then they say his neighbor, who has the same floor plan, allowed them inside to film. And that's what I was basing my original thread post off of. I think you and I are talking about the same exact place?

(4,533 posts)Are we talking about the same unit? I may have said unit 34/when I should have said 37. So I have assumed it is a narrow townhouse with a flat front. I have seen people talking about a unit where there is a segment jutting out in the middle, a segment at the far left with no neighbor attached in the left. I think Timmys house has one neighbor attached on right and another neighbor attached on the left. Are we on the same page here?

(409 posts)the townhouses are the same exact ones from the Inside Edition segment. They didn't accidentally go to the wrong units. They went to the right ones. The picture you see on google from redfin is from 2015 or earlier, when the shutters used to be red. The unit on the side is being blocked by a tree, and makes it appear as though there isn't a unit at all on the side. However, in google street view of the address you posted you can clearly see there is a unit on the side.

(4,533 posts)Ok so it sounds like we are on the same page, right?

(409 posts)description. In the video you can see that Leland and the others wouldn't have been able to see Dr. Ford coming down the stairs and exiting through the front door from where they were at in the closed off living room. That would completely debunk Senator Collins' claims that Dr. Ford's lying because Leland didn't run out after her to see what was wrong. Of course she wouldn't have run out after her, because she wouldn't have even been able to see Dr. Ford leaving in the first place.

These are screenshots from the Inside Edition segment, from 2018:
It's the same place.

(4,533 posts)Whether the stair can be seen or not other homes for rich kids would not be like timmys house with small rooms and only one bathroom. The match between Fords description of the crime scene and details we independently know about Timmys house is good corroboration. Combine the corroboration with the extremely low probability someone would lie to her therapist and to three different friends at three different times in the past and we can have a high degree of confidence in what dr Ford said. The quibbling about things such as would someone say she fears flying yet take plane trips is pretty much irrelevant.

(409 posts)You can see from the redfin page you gave me that it's 507 azalea.

(409 posts)see the unit numbers above the doors and can see that even though it shows "529 azelea", it's actually 507. It's definitely the right place.

(15,290 posts)but they got into another unit with the exact same floor plan. Having lived in condos, usually there are only a few different floor plans, so there would be other units with the exact same layout.
I have to say, this is an amazing bit of reporting. From Inside Edition, no less!

(409 posts)then there's an exact date and location of the attack. There would be no alibi for Kavanaugh and Judge because it's right on his calendar that they were not only there but that they were drinking alcohol. And it would debunk the skeptics, including Senator Collins, that think it doesn't make sense that Leland, or anyone else, didn't chase after her to see why she ran down the stairs and out of the door so fast. It's because they wouldn't have even been able to see her come down the stairs and leave at all.
