In episode 23 the of 5 Minute Mysteries podcast, we examine the haunting case of the Sodder children, one of America’s most baffling unsolved disappearances. On Christmas Eve in 1945, a fire destroyed the Sodder family home in West Virginia, but when the flames were extinguished, five of the ten children were missing—without a trace. No remains were ever found, leading to decades of speculation, conflicting evidence, and unanswered questions. Were they truly lost in the fire, or did something more sinister happen? Join us as we unravel the chilling mystery of the Sodder children.
