Yep - that's the same picture I was looking at when I wrote my description. Couldn't figure out how to post it here. Years ago, I've walked by that location many times.

Do we know neighbor Bissey's location? I think he's in the house one block east on Dacian Ave. (the east-west street in the lower third of the picture). Bissey keeps referring to events in the back yard of 610 Buchanan and I think that location would give him the vantage point to do so. So maybe the strippers parked on Dacian, right where you see the parked cars in this photo, and then entered the back door as described.

But look at the photo in this article
http://www.newsobserver.com/100/story/424128.html

This is a view looking east from Duke's East Campus. Starting from the foreground you have:
1) Walkers on an on-campus path that encircles East Campus
2) The "Duke wall" referred to in Kim's 911 phone call that encircles East Campus just outside the path
3) Buchanan Blvd. is obscured by the wall but you can see the trees on either side
4) A house that is supposedly 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.

In this photo looking east, right is south and left is north. There is a house immediately to the south of "610 Buchanan Blvd.", not Dacian Ave. These two views clearly don't match. Furthermore, if you visualize the floor plan of the house in the N&O photo, it doesn't match the overhead view.

But pull out your maps.google.com again. Look at the house three houses north on Buchanan Blvd. That house matches the N&O photo. Notice the side extension to the right/south. This house is just barely shown on top edge of Perdogg's photo.

I wonder who's wrong? I think it would be hilarious if the local media published a picture of the wrong house. One would then wonder how Kim could get it right but the local newspaper got it wrong. I'm inclined to believe google hasn't got it right although mapquest shows the same location without the pretty overhead picture. If that's the case, where's Bissey? I don't see any house that has a good vantage point of the back yard.

I think Perdogg's pic is of the wrong house.

Check out Zillow.com:

I recall reading in the news reports that it was next to the corner house on Urban, so it would appear zillow is correct.
