Скачать или смотреть The Sodder Children Mystery: The Christmas Eve Disappearance That Still Haunts America

On Christmas Eve, 1945, tragedy struck the Sodder family of Fayetteville, West Virginia. Their home was consumed in a fire that should have claimed all inside — yet five of the Sodder children were never found. No bones, no remains, no evidence of their deaths. Instead, only questions remained.

For years, George and Jennie Sodder believed their children had survived. Witnesses claimed to see them in cars, at restaurants, and even being taken away by strangers. Theories emerged: Was it arson? Mafia retaliation against George Sodder’s outspoken political views? A botched kidnapping covered by fire? Or did the blaze conceal something more sinister?

The Sodder Children case remains one of the most chilling unsolved mysteries in U.S. history. With no official closure, it continues to haunt true crime researchers, paranormal enthusiasts, and families seeking justice.
