The connection has to be made in a box, and the box has to be
accessible.

You can remove the outlet and put a solid cover over it; but you
can't just lose it.


You can rip out the box, pull the wires into the attic or crawl
space, install a junction box there, and snake some romex down to
the lower box.
Then, you can close it up.

Only if there are no connections in the box--which is the problem.
How's he to get an unbroken wire to the attic from the existing box to
make the junction there w/o (two) new junctions?
