One of the most enduring historical mysteries of the 20th century is of the missing Sodder children. After a fire in their West Virginia family home on Christmas Eve of 1945, George and Jennie escaped with four of their children, however five more never made it out of the house. At first, it was assumed that they died in an accidental fire, but a series of strange clues aroused their suspicions that something more sinister happened to them and their home instead. I’m joined by Jennie Henthorn, granddaughter of George and Jennie Sodder, who gives the family’s perspective, details and possible theories about the reason for the fire, and the potential fate of her aunts and uncles.
