This cased gave me chills. I wrote a 16 page essay about this case when I was in middle school and I am still so curious about this. When people were reportedly seeing them around town, that gave me even more chills. I can't imagine the pain that the parents felt. I personally think that the fire was not an accident. I may just be crazy but the facts 1. the kids were missing 2. The cars didn't work 3. The ladder was missing 4. They weren't in the usual spot 5. The bodies were never found 6. Nobody could or didn't reach the FD..... it really odd for me. I live a 3 minute walk away from a fire station and from what I remember, they didn't live that far away either. I still stay up sometimes reading it almost 5 years later.

About 14 years ago I went on the worst call of my career. It was for four children under the age of 8 that were trapped in a house fire. The mother and 13 year old girl got out but all the younger kids died in their room. Putting those babies into black body bags to take up to the crime lab was the hardest thing I've had to do and to this day I still think about them.

[@crwydryny]

They're Ash. The remains would have fallen into the basement before the house came down. After days in what is essentially a fire pit the chances of anything remaining would be small. If anything survived it would be teeth. And an undermanned firedepartment doing a cursory search of a pit of ashes that was the basement after several days wouldn't find anything. The vans not starting, this could simply be down to the cold. The missing ladder, could have simply just not been out away after use. Even the fire. One kid stated they saw it start around the junction box and phone line in the study. Hearing a thump onnthe roof... well I'm currently sitting in a cabin listening to the ravens dancing about on the roof

[@BenMears-fd7he]

I think they might’ve… children’s bones have a lower concentration of inorganic material (calcium phosphate crystals) that usually make bones as strong and sturdy as we know them to be. This lower concentration makes kids bones more flexible and cartilaginous, making them more capable of being fully cremated in a hot enough house fire.

House fire can get pretty hot but not on the floor where the kids would be. Most of the heat is at the ceiling.

[@sarahgump8225]

I lived in Harrison and Braxton counties for about 10 yrs but grew up around the corner from where pretty boy Floyd died and Gretchen's Locke. Most of our unsolved cases are less than 20 yrs old in my home county and are basically murder cover ups. In big towns in WV you don't really get the creepy factor as much as less populated woodsy areas. Some places you just feel like you aren't alone or you are being followed. There are a few places in WV I would never go alone in the dark, but here in columbiana county oh I've sat in similar places no issue. WV is definitely a whole other deal from most places.

[@BrianKern2121]

I'll throw my 2 cents in. Do to the war pretty much all of his prime fireman were drafted or volunteered for the war effort. Being West Virginia in 1943, rounding up the remaining firemen ment going door to door by foot, horse, or car depending on how much gas was rationed. The remaining men in town were probably to old, disabled, or had full time jobs supporting the war effort. In a group of volunteers, their might have only been one person physically capable of driving the fire engine, this is pre-power steering and automatic transmission. Large vehicles at this time required a lot physical capability to safety operate, and the War Department probably had 98% of men from that area all over the globe. So yes, the response from the fire department was almost comidicly awful in comparison to a modern full/volly department, but they were working with what they had, which wasn't much due to the war.

[@alexshaw8167]

My assumption is that he was drunk? Idk

[@ceejay8545]

​@BrianKern212 If your the chief you should learn to drive a fire truck. I learned how to drive a stick shift as a teenager. In fact I borrowed a friend's VW bug to take my driver's license in bc my mom had a VW camper bus.

[@loveislove4879]

What if the numbers on the letter from Louis Sodder was a car license plate? If they truly did live and were kidnapped, he may have remembered the license plate but the 2 and 5 looked too similar for him to tell them apart so he wrote both.

[@graceemilyy18]

thats what i was thinking too

[@MonkeyHouseOfPain]

It seems more likely it references a zip code in Palermo, Sicily. It fits with the theory that they were taken by the mob and sent to different families. Louis would be around 32 at the time and he looks younger in the photo to me suggesting that it was taken awhile before being sent. My theory is that different people were tasked with facilitating the placement of each kid one was assigned 'lil boy 5', and placed with a family in Palermo. Years passed and they get a picture of the boy fully grown from the adopting family and they hold on to it for years until after feeling remorse want to offer some reassurance and forward the picture with the only lead available - the zip code where he was placed.

[@RockUnicornCorn]

​@@MonkeyHouseOfPain Also, the fact that the place had been prepared for the fire (throwing the ladders in the ditch, cutting phone lines, selling the parents life insurances etc.) and that the 5 children were the youngest children, it makes sense they would've been kidnapped to be adopted.

[@RockUnicornCorn]

There is an airport in Boccadifalco, which is in the middle of both zip codes 90132 and 90135. There is a corner on Viale Galileo Galilei and Viale Leonardo Da Vinci where those two zip codes cross, as well as a street called Via Giotto that goes through both zip codes and the previously mentioned street corner.

[@RockUnicornCorn]

​@@MonkeyHouseOfPain The villa of the Prince of Palagonia, which is located in the same area, was used since the 40s as a "Centre for the re-education of minors", so its possible Louis was sent there.

I'm a huge fan of your true crime content. If you've ever looking for cases that you could cover in short form, I'd recommend looking into Ann Rule's Crime Files series because all of those cases were ones she couldn't make into a full-length book. I would also suggest the Yogurt Shop Murders in Texas as a still unsolved, extremely eerie case. It's one of my favorites. I've read several books on it and I still check every month to see if any progress has been made in the case.

[@Redbargan]

Not Christmas Eve, imagine something like this happening on such a happy day 😢

[@Dorky-Corky]

This case has always intrigued me! Thank you for covering it!! One thing I have wondered more recently is...if the 5 survived and were adopted out or something, are there any kids or grandkids from the 4 (5) kids who made it out of the house with their parents that could try DNA searches? That type of thing has come a long way, it could be easy enough to get DNA to run and see if any unknown close relatives are in the states that could potentially be the kids/grandkids of the missing 5.

[@mjwildy2359]

The one issue with that is, it requires that the other family members have also done DNA testing or an equivalent.

[@Dorky-Corky]

@@mjwildy2359 there is always the possibility that they have. Or one of their kids/grandkids have. It was just a thought, though. A possibility that could maybe someday be looked into.

[@mjwildy2359]

@muzicfreek1986 most certainly! It's just that a lot of folks still haven't done DNA testing for a myriad of reasons. I hope that the Sodders may be reunited still, and I hope that the missing Sodder children are OK.

[@luc1ferblack]

There is no point. If the kids DNA is added by police to their system for any reason it would flag up straight away. If any of the kids were to submit their own DNA to a website it would tell them straight away that they are either the missing kids or the children of the missing kids and would possibly flag this to the police as well. So if they do that we will know but chances are they are no longer alive

Love that you did this story! I grew up 15 min from Fayetteville. I had several relatives that grew up & lived there most of their lives. I can remember hearing this tragic story when I was little and we were driving by the old homestead. I can still hear my dad telling me that pictures of the kids were all over this long wall running along the road coming up on the old place. I can hear him & the sadness in his voice talking about these missing children. Explaining how suspicious it was when after the house burned, there were either pig or cow lovers or kidneys found in the ashes. As if someone the them in the fire knowing they would likely not fully burn & would be found by fire inspectors. It was widely speculated that it was done in an attempt to throw everyone off & make it seem as if the missing children had been tragically lost, dying in the fire. But it was quickly, & easily discovered that the organs found were from an animal. The absence of any burned skeletal remains surrounding or protecting any organs that would have been found.. bc that's the only way the organs would not burn up. They would be damaged, but the fire wouldn't be hot enough to fully incinerate the whole body, bones, organs & all. It just didn't make sense. The whole county looked for those kids for so long. It's truly a tragic piece of history that has continued to be questioned, & causes heartache still today. I love thee stories you cover. This being such a close hitting one, really is special. Thank you for pairing your amazing, thorough, & ever empathetic perspective & voice to this horrible tragedy. Love you so so big! 💜🖤💜 *Edit* You really did a great job covering this story Kris.

Petition for Kris to make a crime channel called “Kris Krimes”

[@Lkmsundastood]

Great story! These children were take definitely around the time the mom was woken up again to a rolling sound.

[@Queerlien]

Yes I feel like that was one strange occurrence they never investigated. I'm sure the mom thought about it often though

[@bubbleslovessyouu]

let’s gooo!!! Love a deep dive on a saturday afternoon ❤

[@elvispressplay7735]

It's actually the True Crime stuff that brought me to your channel. Definitely love it when these pop up!

[@Silly_Cowboy_Dude]

There used to be a ride somewhere, and it FUCKING TRAUMATIZED ME. It was based on the Sodder Family fire. I rode the ride(sort of like a rollercoaster). Heres what I remember: 1. A blonde girl in a nightgown 'jumping' from her bed while the brother 'ran'. 2. The fire and heat(IT WAS SO HOT-) 3. The 'smoke'(it was fog machines, but it smelled like real smoke. The ride might have burned down-) 4. The picture of the house on fire(it was the Sodder house) And 5. Someone on the phone. This ride GENUINELY traumatized me enough to give me Pyrophobia. I was a FIVE YEAR OLD. I rode it with my grandma. I know it existed at some point in time, mainly because I have vivid memories of it and it wasn’t a dream, I could smell the smoke, but you can’t look it up anymore.

The animal liver instead of a heart being put in a box is straight out of the original Snow White story. That's so bizarre.

[@Becca123b]

I’ve never been interested in watching conspiracy or crime videos but when you started showing them, I really got actually interested because you had a little humor to it, and still tell the stories about the victims and having respect for them thank you for entering video ❤❤

[@Alino-]

The humor really helps in getting through these stories. I have a weird fascination with the macabre, and really enjoy true crime as a result. But man, the stories can be really emotionally draining, so I'm glad there's a bit of humor to keep things from being too bleak.

[@gregknoblich-y4u]

i love how you talk about true crime most podcasts that talk about true crime are corny and just stupid but kris adds funny skits and adds her own point of view to the situation loved this vid

[@ToastedMooshroom]

I heard this story a while ago - it hasn't gotten any less unsettling. Also, I love these videos!

[@sarahgrelle166]

[@MargaritaJJohnson]

House fires get approximately 1500 degrees. When someone is cremated the fire is 1400 to 1800 degrees and leaves bone fragments behind. I do not believe those children burned in that fire.

[@everdale_stormz]

disappearing children... now that's good soup.

Thanks for the entertainment even when you don't feel well. You can take a break if you are sick or just need to take time for yourself. We love you❤

I absolutely love how you do there true crime videos! I tend to avoid the topic as a whole because the way it's narrated and compiled bugs the heck out of me. So thank you for being you!

The fact that the letter also says “I love brother Frankie” when there isn’t a Frankie amongst the siblings also kinda pulls at my attention but it seems like no one else is even paying attention to that

[@EmersonMARSOLEK-bs5dq]

That's actually.. an excellent point. Aren't friars and monks refered to by the title 'brother'?

[@gay_lama_10]

23:32 Me and a friend of mine were trying to figure out the code so we went across the note counting out each letter and we got: "Ad Lou or us" which I find slightly creepy.

I love you KallMeKris your videos put me to sleep, wake me up, make happy and make me feel warm. But these true crime videos really are amazing I have been watching you for about 5 years and I love it

[@thesupernaturalhouse]

Oh god, so basically the kids were kidnapped, maybe even lured out of the house while staying up and then the house was set on fire, and liek, this had to be pre-meditated with everything...... (Or well, its a pretty good theory)

[@coltonfleming9032]

I absolutely love your true crime documentaries, Kris! You do such a wonderful job, and you put so much thought and effort into these. You are one of my favorite KZbinrs. Thank you for all you do!

I'm sorry, Kriss, the image at 5:10 is Tula, the city in Russia)

[@gracethegorgeousgoddess]

I definitely think someone used the ladder to get the kids from the attic and then set a fire as a distraction to get away and to set it up to look like the kids could have died so no one comes looking.

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

My little girl turned me on to Kris. She found her “sillier” videos which led to her finding her “not so sillier” videos and well, here we are…🤷‍♀️ I swear I’m a good mom… This is my “favorite cold case”- which sounds HORRENDOUS {who has a favorite unsolved murder?!} but there are SO many unexplained and just plain weird details about this case… Thanks for all the hard work… Ok, I’d been wondering about Vessi… I trust her to work with “good sponsors only”, so now I gotta try these shoes. I’ve heard a lot about em…❤

SHUT UP!!! I’m literally 10 seconds in and already baffled. My family is from Fayetteville WV. I go once a year Labor Day weekend for a HUGE family reunion and to visit grandparents, aunt Peggy, and uncle Bobby’s graves. It’s such a tiny speck of a town that I never hear about it unless talking about white water rafting or the bridge. So to find out bad shit happened here is CRAZY!!

[@fantasyrogue1996]

Girl, you got me addicted to watching these! Haha, you deserve your own Netflix series!

[@lalalaleex]

"i wonder if it has anything to do with that man that said my children will perish in a house fire" - idk maybe??? who tf says stuff like that
