On Christmas Eve 1945, the Sodder family of Fayetteville, West Virginia, experienced a tragedy that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. A fire broke out in their home, and while George and Jennie Sodder and four of their children managed to escape, five of their children were trapped inside.The fire was intense and destructive, and the family assumed that all five of their children had perished in the blaze. However, as the dust settled and the family began to rebuild their lives, they started to uncover some strange and disturbing details that suggested that their children may not have died in the fire after all.
For example, there was no physical evidence of the children's remains in the charred rubble of the house. Additionally, witnesses reported seeing the children with unfamiliar men in the days leading up to the fire, and a woman claimed to have seen them peering out of a passing car as the house burned.
The Sodders launched an extensive investigation into the disappearance of their children, and over the years, they received numerous tips and leads. They hired private investigators, consulted with psychics, and even excavated the site of their former home in search of clues.
Despite their efforts, the Sodders were never able to find out what happened to their children. However, in 1968, they received a startling piece of evidence that suggested that their children may still be alive.
A letter arrived in the mail from Kentucky, postmarked from a city near where the Sodders used to live, with a message that read, "Louis Sodder. I love brother Frankie. Ilil boys. A90132 or 35."
The letter provided some hope for the family, but it also raised more questions than answers. Who had sent the letter, and why had they waited so long to contact the family? What did the cryptic message mean,
and was it a genuine clue to the fate of the missing children?
To this day, the disappearance of the Sodder children remains one of the most perplexing and mysterious cases in American history. While there are no
definitive answers, the Sodder family's tireless pursuit of the truth serves as a testament to the enduring power of hope and determination in the face of tragedy.
