On Christmas Eve 1945, a fire ripped through the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. By morning, five of the Sodder children were believed dead. But there was one problem—no remains were ever found.

As investigators ruled the tragedy an accidental house fire, George and Jennie Sodder refused to accept the official story. Strange events leading up to the fire, mysterious witnesses, reports of children being seen after the blaze, and decades of unanswered questions fueled one of America's most enduring mysteries.

Did the children perish in the fire? Were they kidnapped? Or was there something far more sinister behind the disappearance of the Sodder children?

In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive deep into the evidence, while pairing it with Hazy Little Things from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.
