Ep. 159: The Curious Case of the Sodder Children
Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie - Un podcast de Killer Podcasts - Les jeudis
Catégories:
On Christmas Eve, 1945, a mysterious fire burned the home of George and Jennie Sodder to the ground. George, Jennie, and four of their children escaped the blaze. The five remaining Sodder children, aged 5 to 14, were not so lucky. However, no remains - of any of the five Sodder children who were lost that night - were ever found. As the years went on, it became clear there was a conspiracy of silence surrounding the Sodder case in their town of Fayetteville, West Virginia. Had George Sodder pissed off the wrong people with his anti-Mussolini rhetoric during WW2, making his Italian immigrant family a target for nefarious players...and perhaps even the Sicilian Mafia? Did the five "lost" Sodder children even die in the fire at all, or - as the Sodder parents believed until their deaths - were they actually kidnapped, the fire being a mere "smokescreen" to hide the truth? Carrie takes us through this bizarre, twisty-turny case, and tries to find some answers in the abyss of time and obfuscation. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
