Distant?
As far as I can determine they were total no-shows..no video of the family gathered around a podium to support their daughter. No interviews... Hell, Oprah would have paid cash money for their appearence.
Her grandma likely died of embarrassment.
It sounds like she moved around rather than stayed in one place (i.e. her parent’s) during the weeks she was in the DC area. In fact, she admits she was staying at the airport hotel when doing the polygraph. Who wouldn’t be staying with the family during grandma’s furneral?
As far as I know, her husband has only give on interview that’s been published. Otherwise, he’s been invisible. Kavanaugh walked in and out with his spouse. That didn’t happen with Ford. If at all wise, Mr. Ford was at his attorney’s office preparing divorce and child custody papers.
