The Most Mysterious Unsolved Disappearances of All Time

The Sodder Children

On Christmas Eve, 1945, the Sodder home was destroyed by a fire in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The home was occupied by George and Jennie Sodder, as well as nine of their ten children. Four of the children escaped, but the bodies of the other five were never found. The fire was blamed on “faulty wiring,” but during the inquest, one of the jurors threatened George, saying his house would be “burned” and his children “destroyed.”
