Experiencing a house fire can be one of the most devastating events in anyone's life. The suddenness of the fire, the helplessness one feels while watching their home and all their possessions go up in flames, and the aftermath of the disaster can leave a lasting impact on anyone.

In the aftermath of the fire, one has to deal with losing their home, possessions, and even more devastating, a loved one who was unable to escape the flames.

Although house fires can reach extreme temperatures, they cannot completely disintegrate a human body. There is always something left behind in the ash.

That was, until the disappearance of the Sodder children in 1945.
