A known party house. The sister of one of the girls said on 20/20 that it had been a party house since before they moved in.
What does a known party house mean?
There are houses in college towns that just turn over from one group of hosts to another each year—the houses themselves are usually rented as one big unit, often have a high # of bedrooms and some jammed in baths. This one looks newer than the ones in Ann Arbor, but the phenomenon is 100% familiar and no one who has lived in a town like this is confused by what “party house” means.
Interesting! Thank you for taking the time to explain. I'm an older poster and honestly had never heard that term.
Np. For example, my freshman year, I became friends with some people who lived at "The Oak St House." They had parties every weekend. When 2 of them moved out, the other two were looking for roommates, so my best friend and I moved in. Residents always turned over like that... Friends from the party scene taking over leases, parties continued.
PP here who asked. Thanks for this description. All new to me!
It’s really important to the question of what the roommate saw and what she probably inferred, too. To be clear, if the reporting so far is accurate, she says she was terrified by this man—not that she thought he was a hookup or w/ev. But the background fact that houses of this size in college towns are often effectively revolving-door setups helps to explain how an element of rationalization (/denial) could have been working in her mind as well.
This policecam video shows what was typical at their party house. This is the second police visit in the same day for noise complaints. Maddy didn't even mention to Xana that the police were there for a noise complaint earlier. The extra people in the house don't live there. Xana is the only tenant home at the time. People came and went. The layout with the front and back doors made it even harder to keep track of what was going on at the house.

That's a very dangerous setup.
This is large public U for ya. And ignorant public U parents will scream til their blue in the face living off-campus is awesome and teaching your kids how to be adults.
Well I went to a public U and lived off campus and nothing like this ever happened. It all depends on your kid and the roommates they choose.
FFS. Victim blame much?
Guess what? Choices do matter
It sounds heartless, but I sort of agree. I’m not “victim blaming” but sometimes our poor choices and decisions lead to dire consequences.
Their parents all probably thought, look at our kids, so well rounded, off to college, very popular, they can handle themselves!
These kids had noise complaints and police contact frequently. They had people in and out all the time. They probably left the doors unlocked!
Let’s face it: kids this age make really, really stupid choices, and their parents happily find it, because look at my successful, popular kid!
