When a tragic house fire destroys the Sodder Family home in the early hours of Christmas Day, 1945, it is believed 5 missing children perished in the flames. As details unfold over the next days, weeks and months, the Sodder parents begin to question whether their children were in the house on the night of the fire.
For decades, a large billboard has stood over Fayette County asking for information on the missing children. The offer of a reward brought in never before reported sightings, bizarre photographs and more questions than answers.
