It was his parents' house. His dad was an oil exec from Texas and they relocated to Evergreen about 5 years earlier. Immediately after Junior shot his shot, his parents moved out to a neigbors' house and never moved back in, lines of TV vans sat outside for weeks and a secret service helicopter landed on the lawn. The address was printed in the NYT.
We didn't know this before buying but also weren't upset upon learning. An oldtimer neighbor who had been there and lived through it told me when she saw me at the mailbox in the first month we were there.
Jeffco summoned Junior to jury duty in 2017. We got the notice in the mailbox. My thought on that is someone in the county office has the address flagged and every time it's sold they summon him in the following year to alert the new owners. It makes zero sense otherwise.
He was released from prison while we lived there. That was kind of weird. By all appearances now he is a peaceful folk singer.
There were some attempted assassinations (I think? Still not sure) this summer and the NYT ran a feature profile on Junior on the cover of their magazine the week we put his house on the market.
We closed on the house 8 years to the day from the date we bought it. Both times trump was brand new president elect. The cycles are pretty bizarre.
Anyway after a wonderful 8 years we are officially out of the Hinckley house and Evergreen and onto more coastal pastures in Oregon and Florida for the next few months as we find a place to land.
