IIRC, most of those were just accusations and quite possibly just "made up".

  With these documents, who is "making up" the story? The FBI agents? The school administrators with tunnels, "fire alarms" and knobless, locked doors? The children being interviewed? With regards to the last point, they include that the tunnel entrants and exits were as described by the children, suggesting they weren’t making it up.

    These people are either straight up delusional or are operatives to push disinformation. It's a shame too, I thought HN was a great place for discussion

    > they include that the tunnel entrants and exits were as described by the children Except that, you know, nobody ever actually found those. The school had an unbroken concrete slab under it with holes just big enough for sewer pipes. > "fire alarms" The "fire alarms" were... fire alarms. https://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/bsi/article/viewFile/77/96 https://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/bsi/article/viewFile/... > More likely, however, is that the alarm switches were placed relatively high on the walls because staff did not want children to set off false fire alarms. The archeologist seems to have considered neither this ordinary reason that fire alarm switches had been placed relatively high on the wall, nor why the switches had been connected to a bell whose location was outside the preschool’s front office door where parents and others entering the building surely would have heard the alarm’s ring.

  What you are recalling is what was widely reported in mass media shortly after the McMartin story broke, a lot of which is contradicted by the FBI dump.

    The 'FBI dump' is a collection of raw allegations from initial investigation, not anything substantiated.
