The Sodder Family Christmas Fire

On December 24th, 1945, the Sodder family of Fayetteville, West Virginia, went to bed without knowing the hell they were about to endure.
Around 1:30 AM a fire broke out in the 2 story home. The Sodder's had 9 children in the house that Christmas Eve.
It became paramount for George & Jennie to save their children. Four of the children were located and the other five were presumed to be caught in the fire.
After a number of failed attempts to reach the children the family could only watch the house burn down.
What makes this case so mysterious is when the fire marshall and investigators searched the property there was no sign of the missing children.
What happened to the five Sodder children remains a mystery to this day.
