UPDATE: The Sodder Children
The episode revisits the 1945 Sodder family fire in Fayetteville, West Virginia, where five children vanished without a trace, and presents new evidence uncovered by Miranda Weeks, the great-great-granddaughter of one of the missing kids. Despite an official ruling of accidental death, the lack of human remains, suspicious behavior by local officials, and a web of personal and financial connections point to a possible cover-up or kidnapping.
