The Infamous Files: The Sodder Children

The Infamous Files: The Sodder Children

On Christmas Eve 1945, a fire tore through the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. By morning, five children were missing. No remains were ever found. The explanations didn’t match the evidence. And the questions left behind have lingered for nearly eighty years.

This week, we’re diving into one of America’s most unsettling unsolved cases — the disappearance of the Sodder children, the investigation that failed them, and the clues that still don’t add up.
