In the small, sleepy town of Fayetteville, West Virginia - George and Jennie Sodder - who had allowed their 9 children to stay up later than usual in order to play with Christmas Gifts - were finally putting their children to bed… In the hours that followed, Jennie was awoken by a mysterious and highly disturbing phone caller, as well as the sounds of “banging and rolling” on the roof of the Sodder house. Suddenly, the home became engulfed in flames - and the fire rapidly spread. George, Jennie and four of the nine Sodder children frantically fled the house to the streets below, but the other five children were allegedly trapped - and tragically perished - in the attic. All of this occurred whilst the remaining members of the Sodder Family watched on in horror… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Five children vanished without a trace—no bodies, no bones, no answers. Was it a tragic accident? A kidnapping? Or something even darker? Strange events before and after the fire—a chilling phone call, cut telephone lines, and a cryptic photo received decades later—have fueled endless speculation. In this episode, we dig into the baffling details, explore the most compelling theories, and uncover why this story remains one of America's most unsettling unsolved mysteries. If you love true crime and the unexplained, this holiday episode is for you.

This is the story of the Sodder family, who lost five of their children in a mysterious fire on Christmas Eve in 1945. I have based my account on a New York Post article from 1975, which reveals some of the odd details of this case. The children had opened their gifts earlier that night and were eager to play with them. Their parents went to sleep at 10:30 p.m. Around 1:30 a.m., Jennie smelled smoke and saw that their room was filled with it. The house was on fire. The Sodders managed to escape, but they could not find their five children. They were not outside, and there was no way to see them inside the burning house. The fire department declared that they had died in the fire. However, no remains, bones, or any evidence of human tissue were ever found in the ashes... The mystery remains unsolved...

On this week's episode we will take a look back to 19-45 when a mysterious fire broke out on Christmas Eve at the Sodder family home. One of my main sources for this story comes from an article written in the New York Post from 1975, detailing the strange circumstances surrounding this fire. The kids had received their presents earlier in the evening so they were excited and wanted to play with their toys.  The parents went to bed at 10:30 p.m. Jennie began to smell smoke around 1:30 am and she realized it was filling the room. The house was on fire. Stricken with fear all the Sodder's could do was watch their house burn to the ground.  There was no sign of the five children; they were not outside and efforts to spot them through the windows of the blazing house failed. Authorities decided that the five children perished in the blaze. Yet no remains, no bones, no trace of human tissue, were found in the ruins... The case remains unsolved... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Twas the night before Christmas in 1945, and the Sodder family was settling in for the night at their Fayetteville, West Virginia home. However, in the wee hours of the night, a fire broke out, and five of the nine Sodder children were never accounted for after the blaze.Over the decades, speculation raged as the family continued to believe that the children were taken, and there were plenty of suspicious events leading up to the fire that caused them to believe that way. After the fire, things only got weirder with the investigation, including sightings of the children and a mysterious photograph sent to the family more than twenty years later.But what really happened to the missing Sodder kids? Allison does all her best to break it all down and comes up with a theory, but she realizes there are many who may not agree.

On Christmas Eve 1945 tragedy struck the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia.  Fire swept through the home in the wee hours of the night and the house burnt to the ground in just 45 mins.  The parents and four of nine children made it outside, five of the youngest perished in the fire... or did they?  No remains were ever found and there were sightings of the children after the fire.  Was it simply a tragedy, or was the fire simply set to cover up their kidnapping?  Take a listen and decide for yourself.
