174: MYSTERY | Five Children Vanished on Christmas — The Sodder Children Case
On Christmas Eve in 1945, a house fire broke out in Fayetteville, West Virginia. By morning, the Sodder family was told the unthinkable: five of their children were presumed dead in the flames.
But almost immediately, the story began to fall apart.
No remains were ever found. The fire burned too quickly. Witnesses reported strange sightings. Evidence was ignored, dismissed, or quietly disappeared. And for decades, the Sodder family refused to accept the official explanation.
In this episode, we explore one of America’s most haunting and controversial cold cases — the disappearance of the Sodder children
