So whoever it was snuck up to Mary Katherine and Jon Benet's Elizabeth's room and snuck back down without making any noise?!? This is sounding flakier and flakier as this goes on...

Not at all surprising if there's carpet on the floors and stairs.

Well, if you're a flake, I'm sure it does.

Quite possible, especially if there's plush carpeting along the entire route, and the house is well-constructed (i.e. doesn't have thin walls and no sound insulation). Also, keep in mind that people normally sleep through types of noise that they are accustomed to hearing at night. In a home with 2 adults and 6 children, the sound of someone tip-toeing up and down the stairs, and through the halls (trying not to wake up other family members) is ordinary background noise. People get up, go to the bathroom, go to the kitchen, etc., and hearing something like that while you're really asleep, or even half awake, wouldn't be a reason to jump out of bed and go see if something's wrong.

Its actually quite easy to go up and down stairs quietly, especially if they are carpeted. Just make sure that you walk on the sides where they meet the wall. Much less likely to creak. (I used to sneak up and down the stairs all the time when I was a teenager.)
