Christmas Eve, 1945. The Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia goes up in flames. Within minutes, the house is reduced to smoldering rubble—and five of the Sodder children are never seen again.But what begins as a tragic fire quickly spirals into something far stranger.No remains. No smoke inhalation. No bodies in the ashes. Just... questions. In this episode of Disturbing History, Brian revisits one of the most haunting disappearances in American history. This isn’t just a missing persons case—it’s a tale of war, conspiracy, obsession, and a family that refused to stop asking the questions no one else would.What really happened to the Sodder children? Why did the phone lines go dead just before the fire? And why were strangers suddenly so interested in this quiet, immigrant family? From suspicious sightings to billboard pleas and decades of unanswered grief, this is a story that scorches the edge of logic and burns its way into the shadows of the past. Sometimes the past leaves ashes. Sometimes, it leaves silence. And sometimes, it leaves a hole so deep… it disturbs history forever.
