The secret elevator that led authorities to a man's stash of child porn

A man who was caught with thousands of photographs of child pornography kept his stash of sick pictures hidden in a secret room.

Kenneth E. Smith, from Vancouver, had been collecting child porn for 12 years when the FBI visited him last July, but he went to extreme efforts to prevent his obsession from being uncovered.

His computer on which the graphic images were stored was kept on the second floor of an outbuilding on his property.
