A secret door leads homeowner to hidden love letters from the past 🔎 💌 While Virginia homeowner Anna Prillaman was rearranging her bedroom, she noticed a latch to a trap door in her closet. She opened it and discovered it led to a crawl space full of the former homeowners' possessions. In the crawl space, Prillaman found what she believed to be two boxes containing hundreds of hand-written letters from the 1950s. They were all addressed to the same woman, Betty Sue, and many of the letters written by one specific man, Vance. Though intrigued, Prillaman resisted reading their correspondence. Instead, she decided to play the role of detective and find the letters’ owners. Eventually, Prillaman’s search led her to two young men, Dalton and Bodhie Long. Turns out Betty Sue and Vance’s love story led from letter writing to marriage to eventually building a family. Dalton and Bodhie are their grandsons. “I spent almost 18 years in this house and had no idea those letters were out there,” said Dalton Long. “I think it's really exciting for me because they were around my age when they were writing those letters,” said Bodhie Long.
