On Christmas Eve, 1945, a fire broke out in the Sodder family in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The parents, George and Jennie, managed to escape with 4 of their children but five of their other children were unaccounted for as they shared an attic bedroom. A search by officials the next day revealed no human remains in the burnt wreckage. So what happened to the missing Sodder children?
