On Christmas Eve, 1945, the home of George and Jennie Sodder was destroyed by fire. George, Jennie and four of their ten children managed to escape unharmed. But five more of the Sodder children mysteriously vanished without a trace. Did they die in the fire? Or did something even more sinister happen to them?
