On Christmas Eve in 1945, the Sodder family home went up in flames. George and Jennie Sodder escaped with four of their children by their side, but the other five of their children were never seen again... Or so we think? All these years later, we still have no clue on if these children died in the fire, or if they were kidnapped. This week, Allison and Katie discuss the mysterious disappearance of the Sodder children. If you enjoy our podcast, please leave us a rating and review!
