[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7694852, member: 7006"] Part of the idea for the parents might've been that because they didn't want people to easily just notice the door to the attic based upon what they had secured up there. The stairway to the attic in the original design of the house might've been built open so you could easily get up there... but when the parents decided to lock the things away up there that needed locking, they might've changed and rebuilt the doorway to be less noticeable upon casual inspection. That way, if anyone came to the house to visit, they might have intellectually known there was an attic based upon the outside architecture... but since there was no obvious stairway to it, they might be more inclined to just consider it a storage area rather than a living space. And thus, the stuff locked up there would be less likely to be found. Plus, the parents still needed the stairway accessible as new "friends" would still have to be brought up there to reach the circular staircase to get back down into the basement. So the stairway couldn't be entirely walled off. [/QUOTE]
