Description

I’m your host Kate and today’s story is either a tragic story of lives lost in a fire, a kidnapping, or who knows what. But it is the case of the 5 Sodder children who have been missing since their house caught fire on Christmas Eve of 1945. I don’t have the heart to cover this during Christmastime, so Christmas in July will have to do.
