About this listen

The American Shadows podcast recounts the haunting disappearance of the Sodder children in 1945 Fayetteville, West Virginia. On Christmas Eve, a fire consumed the Sodder home, but no remains of five children were found. With strange occurrences like cut phone lines, missing ladders, and delayed fire response, the case spiraled into a web of mystery. Theories ranged from accidental death to mafia involvement and kidnapping. Decades of investigation, sightings, and public appeals kept the story alive, but the truth remains elusive.
