The Sodder Children….where the hell are they?

This one us so frustrating, guys! When George and Jennie Sodder's home burned downed on Christmas Eve in 1945, they were thrust into a lifelong battle to find 5 of their children who, despite leaving no remains, were never seen alive again. This case has inept authorities, conspiracy theories and a tale of parental dedication that will thaw your cold, dead heart. This is, the Sodder children mystery.

Great banter!

Always, fresh, always funny, always entertaining. I think I’ve listened to every episode. I’ve learned a ton!

Literally

She said “literally” too many times. They also have a tendency to repeat what the other just said. Annoying!
This is a very sad, unsolved mystery. I’ll have to do some research to see if there’s anything new, and maybe, hopefully, it’s been solved! 🤞🏼

Spooky and Fabulous

I love these ladies so much and the research and subject matter is on point

Super sad but true!

I agree with you guys I think the way we’re kidnapped probably when they were doing they’re chores in my opinion, I hope that they ( the kidnapped kids ) know what happened to them and their home, and i am crying right now😢 I really hope that they know what happened and how much they’re parents love them,😭👍👍 I love this podcast and keep it coming! ( even tho ouch that there are like 365 right now when I started( which was two days ago. Keep it up 😭😭😣👍👍

What’s on my roof girl!?

I’ve started this new podcast. Feels like I’m right there with them. Sometimes they can get off topic for a bit too long, but still remains a great listen. This episode had me laughing (at them). Come on I’m not that (morbid) Freaking hilarious!!
