What happened on the fateful night of 1945 to the Sodder children?
In 1945 on Christmas Eve in Fayetteville, West Virginia, a family's house burned to ash. Five children were trapped in the upstairs bedrooms, never to be seen again. Did they die in the fire or is something else going on here? Let's delve into the case:

George and Jennie Sodder, along with nine of their children, were asleep when a fire started in their house around 1 a.m. George, Jennie, and four of their children escaped, but five remained upstairs in the house.

George broke back into the house to save them, but the staircase was on fire. When he went to get a ladder, he discovered that it was missing. Additionally, both of his trucks, which he wanted to use to climb on top of, would not start.

One of the children, who escaped the fire, ran to a neighbor’s house to call the fire department, but got no answer. Another neighbor also called with the same result. That same neighbor drove to town and found the fire chief in person. Still, even though the fire department was only 2.5 miles from the Sodder house, firefighters didn't arrive until 8 a.m.! It literally took them seven hours to get there.
