The enduring mystery of the missing Sodder children

The enduring mystery of the missing Sodder children

October 5th - The Mysterious Disappearance of the Sodder Children

On Christmas Eve, 1945, in Fayetteville, West Virginia, the Sodder family experienced a tragic fire that consumed their home. George and Jennie Sodder, along with four of their nine children, managed to escape the blaze. However, the fate of the other five children, Maurice (14), Martha (12), Louis (9), Jennie (8), and Betty (5), remains a mystery to this day.

The official investigation concluded that the fire was caused by faulty wiring, and the missing children were presumed dead, their remains believed to have been cremated in the intense heat. However, the Sodder family was not convinced by this explanation.

Witnesses claimed to have seen the children peering out of the windows during the fire and noticed strange occurrences, such as an unfamiliar man lurking around the property before the blaze. Additionally, the family received a strange phone call shortly before the fire, with the caller asking for a person the family did not know.

In the years following the incident, the Sodders received several clues that suggested their children might still be alive. A woman claimed to have seen the children in a car driving away from the scene that night. The family also received a photograph in the mail, years later, which appeared to show one of the missing boys as a grown man.

Despite numerous investigations, the case remains unsolved. Theories range from the children being taken by the Italian mafia due to George Sodder's outspoken criticism of Mussolini, to the possibility of the children being kidnapped and placed with another family.

The mysterious disappearance of the Sodder children has puzzled investigators and captured the imagination of the public for decades. The family never gave up hope and even erected a billboard with photos of the missing children, offering a reward for information. The billboard stood for over 40 years, serving as a haunting reminder of the enduring mystery surrounding the fate of the five Sodder children.
