Christmas of 1945 was a tragic one for the Sodder family. Just after midnight, their two-story, West Virginia home burned to the ground, and only the parents and four of the nine children got out.

At first, this seemed like a tragic accident. But clues started adding up to point more towards foul play, and possible abduction. And the remains of the children were never found, adding to the suspicion.

Some oddities started piling up:

First, a strange call just after midnight on Christmas Eve.

Then, the phone lines were cut.

Strange bones found, that did NOT belong to the Sodders.

So many more strange clues also left so many wondering, what really happened to the five Sodder children that night?

• Maurice Sodder, age 14
• Martha Sodder, age 12
• Louis Sodder, age 9
• Jennie Sodder, age 8
• Betty Sodder, age 5

On a cold December afternoon in 2021, three-year-old Lina Sardar Khil vanished from what should have been the safest place she knew- the playground just outside her family’s apartment in San Antonio, Texas.

Lina had only been playing for a short time when her mother stepped away briefly. When she returned, Lina was gone.

What followed was a massive search involving local police, the FBI, and the community, as investigators combed the apartment complex, nearby neighborhoods, and surrounding terrain.

Lina’s family- Afghan refugees who believed they had finally found safety in the United States- were left with an unimaginable question:

Where is Lina Sarder Khil?
