A chief resident is most likely a fourth year resident with extra responsibilities above and beyond those of the other residents. The income is low, as she is essentially just an apprentice. They are having to pay medical school costs and are probably both under extreme pressure with no time to think about taking care of an apartment, much less a house.

Later that morning, investigators went to a private residence and found the student's wife, Dr. Robin Mitchell, stabbed to death.

Maybe the private residence where the wife was found was their home. Or they were living separately, perhaps.
