For nearly forty years, travelers along Route 16 near Fayetteville West Virginia, were met with a billboard featuring blurry photos of five children. Each child had dark hair and solemn eyes. Below the images were their names and ages—Maurice, 14; Martha, 12; Louis, 9; Jennie, 8; and Betty, 5. Accompanying their names was speculation about their fate.

The small town with a main street barely a hundred yards long, was steeped in rumors regarding the case, with speculation often outweighing concrete evidence. There was even disagreement about whether the children were actually dead. With this episode of Still Unsolved, we hope to find answers. This is the case, of the Sodder Family.

In a desolate rice field, two miles north of Katy, Texas, flames engulfed a luxurious Jaguar Sedan on November 8th, 1985. Among the wreckage, sheriff’s deputies discovered charred human remains. The remains were so horrifically disfigured that discerning the gender proved impossible. The police could only look into the owner of the vehicle, and that is where they found their first clue. The vehicle belonged to Edward Gerald Baker, a 52-year-old millionaire from Houston. Subsequent forensic examinations overwhelmingly confirmed the grim truth - the incinerated body was indeed his.

At around 4 p.m., an announcement was made to the shoppers of the Wonderland Mall that a child was missing. As the mall began to clear out, the local police arrived and began to conduct their search for the missing boy. This search would become one of the longest searches in Michigan’s history. While it was ultimately unsuccessful, it did bring about one very surprising suspect - a suspect you wouldn't believe. This is the case, of D'wan Sims.

On January 2, 1935, at 1:20 p.m., a lone man checked into the President Hotel in downtown Kansas City.

He had no luggage besides a comb and a toothbrush and asked for an interior room on a high floor of the hotel. He checked in under the name Roland T. Owen and complained to the bellboy about the outrageous prices of a neighboring hotel. After checking in and receiving his room, Room 1046 on the 10th floor, he left the hotel, only to be seen intermittently throughout his stay.

The staff wouldn’t give his behavior another thought until days later when the man turned up dead, his hotel room a brutal bloodbath.

This will forever remain one of the strangest mysteries in existence. A forty-four-year-old woman lived her life in constant fear of an attacker. Over a span of seven years, she would be harassed by an unknown individual, leading to more than 100 police reports of stalking. They would call her to threaten her or breathe into the phone until she hung up in a panic. They would lurk around her home at night, even going as far as to cut her phone line. Authorities were puzzled by the lack of evidence. Eventually, they would believe that they were being fooled. This led to a near complete disinterest in continuing her investigation - until the young woman turned up dead. This is the case of Cindy James.
