From The Vault- Up In Smoke: The Missing...

Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan
About this episode

Strange And Unexplained is dark this week, but enjoy this episode from the vault.

On Christmas Eve 1945, the Sodder family home went up in flames. Parents George and Jennie escaped the blaze with four of their children, only to realize that five of their remaining children were missing. The problem was, no trace of their remains was found anywhere in the rubble. As time went by, curious details led some to believe they may have made it out alive. But where could they have gone? More than 60 years later, this tragic mystery remains unsolved.

Strange and Unexplained is a podcast from Grab Bag Collab & Three Goose Entertainment and is a journey into the uncomfortable and the unknowable that will leave you both laughing and sleeping with the lights on. You can get early and ad-free episodes and much more over at www.grabbagcollab.com
