It sounds like you’re referring to the case of the Sodder family, a real-life mystery that occurred in Fayetteville, West Virginia, in 1945. Here’s an overview of the case:

The Incident:

On Christmas Eve, December 24, 1945, the Sodder family’s house caught fire. The parents, George and Jennie Sodder, and nine of their ten children were in the home. Five of the children were believed to have perished in the fire, but their remains were never found, leading to one of the most perplexing unsolved mysteries in history.

Key Details:

1. The Fire:
• The fire began in the middle of the night.
• George and Jennie, along with four of their children, escaped the house.
• The remaining five children—Maurice, Martha, Louis, Jennie, and Betty—were thought to be trapped inside.
2. The Missing Remains:
• Despite an extensive search of the rubble, no human remains were found.
• Experts later stated that it was unlikely a fire of that nature would completely destroy bones.
3. Suspicious Circumstances:
• The family’s ladder, which could have been used for a rescue, was missing and later found in a ditch.
• The phone line was cut, preventing any calls for help.
• A delivery driver reported seeing suspicious activity in the area before the fire.
4. Theories and Evidence:
• Kidnapping Theory: The Sodders believed the children might have been kidnapped. Over the years, there were alleged sightings of the children in different locations.
• A strange photograph was sent to the Sodder family in 1968, showing a man who resembled one of their missing sons, Louis.
5. Possible Motive:
• George Sodder, an outspoken critic of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, had received threats from local individuals who supported the dictator.

The Legacy:

The Sodder family never stopped searching for answers. They erected a billboard near their home with information about the case and a reward for anyone who could provide details about their missing children. The case remains unsolved to this day.
