The Disappearance of the Sodder Children
On Christmas Eve, 1945, in the small town of Fayetteville, West Virginia, the Sodder family was settling in for the night. George and Jennie Sodder had ten children, and nine of them were home that Christmas Eve. The family had enjoyed a festive dinner, and some of the younger children had begged permission to stay up late to play with their new Christmas toys. Jennie reluctantly agreed but insisted they turn off the lights and make sure the doors were locked before going to bed.
