Brianna Wu/Did Brianna Wu Ever Leave Her Home in Mid-October
Did Brianna Wu Ever Leave Her Home in Mid-October?
First we need to establish an idea of where Brianna Wu’s home is to begin with. As all the news reports say — someone posted her address in a “Death to Brianna chatterwhiteman” twitter handle.
Upon doing so one finds themselves at this house.
(DISCLAIMER — I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANY READER’S PERSONAL RESEARCH INTO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE)
Next, we’ll pull up a YouTube Video put up by Brianna Wu herself. I’m not interested in giving her clicks directly via my medium post, so I’ll just link it. http://youtu.be/111vT8ZUg60
(THIS IS A PUBLIC VIDEO PUT UP ON BRIANNA WU’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL MEANING SHE DISCLOSED THE CONTENT WITHIN ON HER OWN FREE WILL.)
The location in the picture from the video has a resemblance to the one found on Google Maps. Given this information it would be silly not to explore a little further.
(DONT SUE ME)
Looking around at the other side of the house from the “@chatterwhiteman” address you can see similar gutters and bush arrangements in both Brianna’s video and the Google Maps location. Maybe this is Brianna Wu’s house. We need more than a maybe. For an answer to that we go to the neighbor’s house on Google Maps.
(I redacted the Neighbor’s address as well. Please do not suspend me again or sue me.)
If you need a point of reference look at the red car. But with the neighbor’s house in mind I ask that you draw your attention to the windows of both the neighbor’s house, and of that in Brianna Wu’s video, to see if there is any possible matching features.
(Both Brianna’s YouTube video and Google Maps are publicly available resources and are obtainable by normal means. Does that mean it’s Google’s fault?)
At a glance you can see that the top windows, those visible on the second and first floors, the pine tree on the right side of the neighbor’s house, the balcony at the front of the house, and the various accessories attached to the house’s exterior (air conditioning systems, etc.) are all in similar locations in both pictures.
From this we can draw the conclusion the address disclosed by chatterwhiteman is indeed Brianna Wu’s residence at least in 2011.
We can prove this was probably the case in 2012 by looking at another video uploaded by Brianna Wu http://youtu.be/uwlXNKL-Avs and comparing it to the front door of the house on Google Maps.
(Just going to give a general disclaimer that I am not responsible for what other people do when they research into this matter themselves.)
To prove that they were in the same house in 2013, one should draw their attention to the railing on their stairs. This can be observed in a 2011 video called “Crash vs Kablam!!!” from Brianna’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEOwVwPiCzo and a video from Revolution 60’s Kickstarter reaching their goal in August of 2013. http://vimeo.com/72452489F6
(The references in this photo were made from publicly available content provided by Brianna Wu. Don’t sue.)
Next is the analysis of Wu’s other neighbor, and that location is circled on this map.
This area is important for two reasons, the elevation change from Wu’s house to the other neighbor on the left, and the green siding of Wu’s other neighbor’s house.
This next picture is meant to give you another view of this location, which fortunately also includes the red car at Wu’s house and the Windows Neighbor.
Now that we’ve got a better idea of every aspect of the Wu’s possible residence, next it’s time to look into the actual articles/videos from Brianna Wu’s incident in 2014.
Below is a compilation of images organized from the articles in question, arranged to make one single unified
All of the pictures are from the same location, and being able to identify that is made possible by a few factors. A major one is the “Revolution 60″ poster hanging in Wu’s office. But let’s get into specifics, using one of the main reference pictures found in this article from the Boston Globe about Brianna’s Incident. (archive)
The house with green siding on Google Maps has a direct fit with the location out the window in the Boston Globe Interview.F12
Lets look at it with a satellite map to compare to.
This leads one to make an educated guess that Wu still lives in the same house as she lived in 2011, 2012, 2013, and during the media incident of 2014. Brianna’s house appears to be on a second floor due to the elevation difference between her and her neighbor, whose house has green siding and a matching tree branch to the one in the picture of Brianna Wu’s office in the Boston Globe.
Let me give you a recap.
In the MOST BASIC of laymans terms?
With this discovery I urge people to FOIA the Boston Police Department and request the records of the reported incident from October 11th, 2014 when Brianna Wu claimed she had the cops sent to her house out of fear.

Be as specific as possible in your request, don’t go on a “fishing expedition” for information.
