I can't find any reference to Ayla's bedroom being the attic in MSM, in the LE statements I have compiled, etc. I may have missed it. this is the only reference to the attic I can find:

ALEXIS TERESZCUK, RADARONLINE.COM: Nancy, it`s a one-story home. There`s actually a garage. And people have been focused very intently on this home. They`ve brought the police dogs in. They`ve had helicopters overhead. They`re looking in house and in the garage. They seem to think that all of the evidence is right here in this home. And they haven`t put out an Amber Alert, either, because they don`t have a suspect. They are looking just in this house.
GRACE: Now, I don`t like the sound of that, Alexis Tereszcuk. What did you say about the garage and upstairs?
TERESZCUK They are looking in the garage, which is -- seems a little strange, like, maybe they thought the baby would wander away, but she doesn`t wander away. She`s very little. She can`t just wander away. So they`re looking in the garage really for evidence that maybe somebody had her in there and had taken her out of there.
GRACE: OK, wait a minute. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Alexis -- put Tereszcuk up, please. Alexis, just because cops are looking in the garage does not mean they suspect someone in the home of wrongdoing. They may think someone took her out of her crib and went through the garage.
Now, more concerning to me, Alexis, is your report that they`re looking up in the attic. Did you say the attic?
TERESZCUK I did not say the attic, but you are absolutely right, Nancy. They are looking in the attic. It`s a two-story (SIC) house. And they`re looking everywhere. They think that there`s something in this home that can lead them to this baby.
GRACE: Because an intruder obviously, Alexis, would not go up to the attic with a baby.
TERESZCUK No.
GRACE: So the fact that they`re looking in the attic is very troubling.
TERESZCUK No.
GRACE: So the fact that they`re looking in the attic is very troubling.
