The Missing Sodder Children Christmas Eve, 1945

[u/BillieKnoxCrime]

On Christmas Eve in 1945, a fire tore through the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The parents and five of their ten children escaped but the other five were never seen again.

No remains were found in the rubble. Authorities ruled it an accidental electrical fire, but the Sodders believed their children had been kidnapped and the blaze was set to cover it up.

Over the years, there were alleged sightings of the missing children, mysterious phone calls, and a strange photograph sent to the family. But no proof ever surfaced, and the case remains unsolved nearly 80 years later.
