On Christmas Eve in 1945, a blaze erupted at the West Virginia home of the Sodder family. Five of the ten Sodder children were trapped upstairs and presumed dead when the house collapsed to the ground 45 minutes after the fire started.

Family patriarch George Sodder had tried to grab a ladder to rescue his burning children, but the ladder was mysteriously gone. He tried calling the police, but the phone wires had been cut. He attempted to start his truck, but the engine wouldn’t crank.

Even more mysteriously, the bones of the five missing children were allegedly never found.

Speculation emerged that the Sodders were victimized by Mafia arsonists, one of whom had warned George Sodder that he’d burn his house down and kidnap his children in retaliation for unflattering comments he’d made toward Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Witnesses in the tiny Appalachian town of Fayetteville, WV reported seeing four of the five missing children at a restaurant, surrounded by “Italian-looking” adults who forbade the children from speaking.
