S. 7 Episode 14 - The Unsolved Christmas Mystery of the Sodder Children

Case Files with Kat and Ashley

12/19/24 • 62 min

Before we take a 2 week break for the holidays and travel, we wanted to leave you with a story that happened on Christmas Eve in 1945. It a devastating fire that consumed the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. While George and Jennie Sodder and four of their children escaped, five of their children seemingly vanished without a trace. The official explanation claimed they perished in the fire, but troubling inconsistencies and chilling clues have kept the mystery alive for nearly 80 years.

Hit play, grab a drink, ditch the family for an hour, and join us as Kat delves into one of America’s most haunting cold cases, exploring theories, evidence, and the Sodder family’s relentless pursuit of the truth.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa, Happy Boxing Day, and Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us!
Here's to a wonderful 2025! We love you all!
See something. Say something.
Love,
Kat & Ashley
