I honestly don't mind hearing the sponsored ads when I hear how you're using them, too. Ya know? I'm not being sold some random nothingness. You're telling me about something you've actually used and can truly recommend. It's nice and appreciated. 4:59
This sounds like a way for government/industry to collect our information disguised as a romantic relationship test. I would be very leary about putting my information to this platform.
I definitely don't believe the kids died in the fire. Way too many coincidences and suspicious lack of action from the local authorities. I think the kids were stolen and the local authorities were paid to either help cover it up or to keep their mouths shut. Poor Mr and Mrs Sodder :( I can't imagine having never gotten any answers.
Agreed. I do think the kids may have been killed shortly after due to the media coverage even back then. If they had lived, I think at least one would have come forward at some point. I don't think they died in the fire though.
@@mafiapr1ncessmaybe they were scared to they could have been threatened. I wonder if the men Mr Sodder went and talked to were really his son and they didn’t want anything bad to happen to him or them… you just never know
The main thing about this case that keeps me from dismissing it as a tragic accident is the length of the fire. Burning a human body to ash is so difficult. What's the liklihood that a house fire would burn hot enough that it could have burned all five bodies to ash in 45 minutes??? A lot of the other stuff is just circumstantial, but that is one very concrete piece of evidence that strongly suggest the children were not in the home when the fire started.
I've seen videos done by morticians, it's my understanding that in a professional cremation the body is burned around 2000°F for two hours, body fluids evaporate and soft tissue burns but bones and teeth are left. They are then ground in an apparatus called a cremulator before the cremains are given to the next of kin. So it's odd no bones were found, and the Sodders' billboard stated there was no smell of burning bodies, which I think would be a TERRIBLE smell
Yes! I personally am interested in hearing more about the Tennessee Children's home society. Thank you for sharing the Sodder children story. I had heard about them through the Hillbilly Files where they actually traveled to the site of the fire. Such a horrible tragedy for this family & them not knowing their whole lives what truly happened.
THIS has *always* been “that” case that I just can’t let go of… it’s stuck with me for 25+ years and STILL I can’t wrap my head around what *really* happened…
It has always been my personal belief since I first heard this story years ago that the theory about Fiorenzo is the most likely case. I think that the kids were taken to Italy or Sicily and adopted out separately and told that their parents and other siblings died in the fire.
This happened where I grew up. Thank you for such a detailed account on the Sodder Kids. The billboard was taken down not too long ago. I hope to God that one day this is solved. Knowing the small town mindset, though, it won’t be.
I heard this story and seen videos about it multiple times. This particular video I found very interesting, there's a lot of details that I didn't know about. It has me even more convinced that this was a plot against the family. Seriously, the things people will do and the lengths they will go to just to prove a point is mind boggling.
How agonizing for those poor parents!! I definately think they were kidnapped - this whole case wreaks of foul play. I'd be interested in hearing about the TN Children's Home Society, also!
No remain at all would is really weird, and I'm saying that as someone who wrote an essay on a cemetery for infants from the 3rd century, where these small bodies were cremated, and we still found remains in the tomb centuries later (and it's a site with a lot of water, so a lot of objects in the ground were moved and lost through the centuries) I'm pretty sure the children were kidnapped and raised to not reveal their identities or contact their parents, or they would die, and that's why the men said they weren't the boys, and the letter was also probably the boy trying to tell his parents they were alive without getting caught. It often happens with kidnapping of children that they are too afraid of the kidnappers hurting their family for them to try to contact them or escape, so it could be possible. And the Mafia is very scary, there's an Italian journalist alive today who have bodyguards and never sleep in the same place because he made an investigation on the mafia.
I've heard this story 100 times, we all have.. but I've never heard it told like this. There are so many details I've never heard before! Sommer, you by far have my favorite channel! Thank you for all the work u put into your research!!
This is the second time I heard this story this week, but you told it like I have NEVER heard before. I learned new stuff that made me cry. You are an amazing storyteller and I am so happy you are doing this videos! Thank you for being so kind, but honest when telling these stories!
Something suspicious definitely happened. Horrible to think they lost five children on Christmas. I would love to know more ahout the childrens home though, that seems like an insane story !
This is such a fascinating case! I wonder if they could do DNA testing today to see if that man was his son & to learn more about this case! I personally don’t believe they died in that fire! Would love to know what happened though!!!
Thank you for your content. You consistently deliver interesting stories with the exact level of detail required in an interesting and factual manner. Definitely one of my favourites channels.
I always thought the children had to have been taken. And to those who say the children would remember something... well they might have, but out of context and everyday life, such things can be set aside as dreams or nightmares. Children are vastly adaptable and will accept truly unacceptable conditions as commonplace. If life is continuing happily and naturally, there would be no reason to focus on vague memories.
How sad that they never found out what really happened 😢 It's so creepy that people want to see a place of such tragedy. The part that is the weirdest about this is the fire chief not responding, acting like there was no urgency. And then all the lies. Their loyalty to Michelini is crazy.
I find it hard to believe that no evidence, no remnants of multiple children who succumbed to a home fire would be found. Very suspicious. And, yes, I would definitely be interested in am episide dedicated to the Tennesee Children's Home Society. I just did a very quick search and saw Joan Crawford engaged Georgia Tann's services when adopting two of her children.
Great video :) such a sad but fascinating case. Here are a couple of additional interesting facts if you’re interested. In regards to the picture of Louis that was addressed to the mom, Jennie, she did had a brother named Frank Cipriani, who could be “brother Frankie”. The Sodder family had initially suspected him because he lived in Florida. There were witnesses who saw the children get into cars with Florida licence plates. Even the Sodders believed this theory that Jennie’s brother took them because it would’ve been someone they knew. Also, her brothers knew Janutolo which makes it very suspicious that they were working together. Thank you again for a great video.
I just discovered your channel and I can’t stop watching. You are fantastic at telling these stories. I love your voice and your attention to detail. I really love the stories that are from a long time ago. Please keep up the great work. I’ve subscribed and liked all of your videos.
Whew. This is the stuff of a parent's nightmare. The lack of action and concern by the fire department and police say to me that there was definitely power and big money involved.
Better watch your kids. We just had a ,14 yr old go missing the other day about fifteen minutes from me and im out in bufu in the country in tx.....another one same day several hrs away near my sister near austin in a small town. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS OUT OF YOUR SIGHT. ITS NO LONGER THE WORLD WE GREW UP IN.
Yes it is. There have always been evil people in the world, going back to when Cain killed Abel. More germane to the matter at hand, look at the Lindbergh kidnapping in the 1930s.
I don’t think the kids where in their room because at least one of the kids would of went to the window or they would of heard screams from at least one kid, the fact that there was…Nothing! That’s not even adding ALL the other evidence that says they weren’t there during the fire, poor family, and on XMas day too. I also think the Fire Chief buried that liver(he thought was a heart) because of his own guilt, he was probably told not to go to the fire because the house wasn’t to be saved, but thought everybody would make it alive, I don’t think the ones in control told him what happened to the kids, he was just told to keep his mouth shut
omg i remember hearing about this case, this was one of the first true crime cases i ever listened to when i first started getting into YT and podcasts
So awesome! I’ve heard this story before so at first I wasn’t interested but then you were actually putting the back story in which was so fascinating. I loved it.
I think that they were kidnapped. The sound she probably heard was the ladder being used to get in. I still dont know how they'd get all those kids out without anyone hearing though. Such a strange story...
What if the loud noise was from someone falling while walking on the roof? Maybe that same person used the ladder to forcibly remove the 5 missing children, and set the house on fire upon leaving..
I am from this area , I can remember the fence and billboards with their pictures on them . West Virginia coal field politics . The man owned coal trucks and probably was taking profit from somebody or owed money . There has always been much more mafia influences in this area than what people not from here know .
I do think something sinister happened to that poor family. I can’t even imagine what George and Jenny were going through, missing their babies. And yes I’d love to hear more about those baby farms, kid snatchers, evil doers 😃 THANK YOU
I think have found my new favorite YTer❤️ The algorithm Gods led me to your channel and I love the way you cover these tragedies with respect. That is becoming harder and harder to find
This 1 hit close to home. I lived only few miles from there for many years. I remember the old sign next to main road they had up with kids photos. I never dreamed that case becoming as famous as it is now. So many theory’s on that case I don’t know the best 1. Who ever grab them kids I believe them kids had to know them & they know a lot about that family. You couldn’t get them kids out of that house quietly unless they know them people.
Well, that's a first for me. I had to go back in places as there was so much going on. What an incredible story. So sad for the parents never getting any real closure. Once again, we'll narrated and thoroughly researched. It would be interesting to hear about the baby farmer. Another piece of Dark Americano I am not aware of. All the very.
This case has always fascinated me and I'm interested to hear your take on it ❤ I honestly think they were taken when they dud the late night chores, way too many coincidence Happy Christmas Sommer to you and your family.
It sounds like to me like Mr. & Mrs Sodder Experienced something very tragic. But following their loss probably brought on a lot of paranoia. And I feel like the township. Members like their neighbors and colleagues sound unreliable and terrible people. Now a days we have internet trolls.... Who is to say someone wasn't a troll with a pen and paper and the U.S mail system back then? People are very evil.
As long as there have been ways to anonymously contact people there have been trolls. I am glad that cell phones have basically done away with the creepy prank calls we used to get for instance. There was even trolling graffiti in ancient Rome. People can be awful.
They never would have found a heart, that muscle tissue would have burned far before the bones. Why are so many people desperate for attention that they would lie to a grieving family? Breaks my heart.
Oh please do a video about Georgia Kant and the children trafficking. Very interesting but terribly sad story about the Sodder children. I believe they were kidnapped and that the fire was punishment for George being anti-Mussolini. I'm guessing the kids were told that their parents and the rest of their family died in the fire and they were likely taken far enough away that they didn't see newspaper articles about them being looked for. Much more complicated to do nowadays.
When I saw you were covering this I was thrilled. You always bring a more thorough lens to stories people have told on here before. Your Hinterkaifeck video is still the best.
This is just one of the worst mysteries; definitely just too many suspicious things. Those poor parents! Thank you for covering this in such detail. This one baffles me (and the world!) to no end. :-/
I don’t think the fire killed the based on no evidence of human remains and the sketchy police. The Georgia Tann story is definitely one to cover. I actually grew up with a neighbor who was a survivor of that place.
I’ve never heard of the Tennessee Children’s Home Society! I definitely am interested in watching you talk about it! I truly enjoy your videos! Your research is very thorough and you have a way of talking calmly about these things that I’ve never heard from another true crime teller.
Id definitely watch a video on that. As for the children in this video, its technically possible for all remains to burn in a fire but unlikely and there were too many suspicious circumstances around this for me to believe that
My grandfather came to the US from Italy as a young man in the 1910’s. My dad was born in ‘43 and his father would never speak Italian or let him learn because of the embarrassment he felt about Mussolini
Hi Sommer! Yes! I’d love to hear you do a piece on that child society thing and that horrible woman. Years ago on “Unsolved Mysteries”, there was a man looking for his sister. They had gotten separated when they were younger and it was by people like that woman . May had been her! I can’t remember but yes, that would be interesting. I know around the thirties and forties a lot of shady stuff when on involving young children. Sad. I tend to believe the Sodder children were taken. And the fire was set by whoever took them. So very sad. ❤️💜💚
I've never believed the children died in the fire. Five children and no one heard them scream from fear? No one saw any sign of them breaking out windows upstairs trying to escape or trying to get down the stairs? No way. They were stolen and the perpetrators hoped the parents would die in the fire.
Yeah how the heck would you find soft tissue such as an organ, but yet not one single piece of bone in the fire rubble... I always thought someone high up with power wanted children very badly and somehow fixated on the sodder children. Taking the youngest ones would be perfect in that scenario because it would be a lot easier the manipulate them into thinking that their family died in a fire or something and they were adopted, also whomever took them would have more time with them at home before growing up and moving out. Most logical theory I've been able to come to over the years, especially with such utter disregard from the community officials and police and fire. Seems like everyone besides the community leaders where trying to help this family.
Its so strange that the eldest sister didnt hear the thing that hit the roof if she was so close to her parents room, and that beither the fire or the phone ringing woke her up? How was she sleeping so heavily?
That game that you talk about at the beginning sounds like a way to track/collect information about the population disguised as a test for your relationship.
Like how everyone jumped on the give away your DNA train in the last few years..in the name of finding your "Ancestry"😂people aren't too bright I'm afraid🙄❤🇦🇺🙏
I'm new to your channel & also this story. I'm definitely interested in hearing more about the TN childres home society. What a horrific thing for the parents to go through. ❤😢🙏
Its wild how often men want to punish other men for having a negative opinion of them or their beliefs, & they use insane violence or attacks & insults to "prove" they are actually good men.
Hello! I love your channel. You really are one of the best storytellers of these gruesome topics. Every time I see that there is a new video it makes my day.
It "might" have been after the end of World War 2? A quick check says it was three months after the end of World War 2, but the USA was very afraid of the USSR and still maintained a large occupying force in western Europe at the time. Firefighters might indeed have been in short supply.
I don't think kids died in fire, I think someone took them before fire and then lighted up the fire. And somehow local authorities were involved in the whole event. I think father of the kids pissed off some wrong people.
You and your hubby are so 😍 adorable ❤!! I have been married for 20 years so I'm always looking for things to strengthen our bond and keep our marriage gois and strong 💪 💖
The lack of interest in solving the disappearance of the kids , or finding out what happened to them, by the local authorities , definitely make me think their responsible , or they helped cover -up a crime . What I don't understand is , why the Sodder family were targeted !
my feelings: since the children werent seen even before the fire, they likely were taken, or killed and their bodies tucked away. it is still weird that no bone fragments would have been found. however, they were small children and wouldnt have the same bone structure as adults.
So many questions! Why didn't the children yell someone when they were being kidnapped? When they got to where they were going why didn't they say something? Even if they ended with Georgia Tan, they it seems could say something. Why wasn't the gal asleep downstairs not taken also? Thanks Sommer!
How evil are people to know the pain this couple was going through and yet proceed to lie to them about what happened to their children. This is so sad

Me too!
Conservative states are the poorest with the most abortions and crime. That is a fact. Vote republicans out of office.
I'd like to hear more about this too

they got taken, simple as that
@@roscoeswrld5953wow so glad you solved the mystery 🙄
It has always been my personal belief since I first heard this story years ago that the theory about Fiorenzo is the most likely case. I think that the kids were taken to Italy or Sicily and adopted out separately and told that their parents and other siblings died in the fire.

There are only 2 other story tellers I like to listen to as much as you. JTL, and Mr.Ballen! Keep up the amazing work! 🤘
Thank you! 🖤🥰
Who's JTL?
I think it’s JustThoughtLounge. Never heard of that channel.
We have very similar tastes in storytellers! 👍
@shadowhawke Just Thought Lounge is very good. Lot of lesser known cases and the host, Kevin, has a very soothing voice as well

First time for me, glad I came across it on Sommers channel, everyone's saying it's the best summarisation they've seen❤🇦🇺🙏
I would like to hear more about that awful children’s home.
Human trafficking is overwhelming in this country.... Pure evil and people just ignore it, unless it happens to them. Please protect the innocent🙏
This is the second time I heard this story this week, but you told it like I have NEVER heard before. I learned new stuff that made me cry. You are an amazing storyteller and I am so happy you are doing this videos! Thank you for being so kind, but honest when telling these stories!
I was going to comment this. Heard this story a number of times, but never in such detail.
Something suspicious definitely happened. Horrible to think they lost five children on Christmas. I would love to know more ahout the childrens home though, that seems like an insane story !
Girl, the most shocking thing about this whole video is finding out you have FOUR kids! You're so young, I never expected that lol :D
she looks great!
And four dogs and a cat ☺
Best Sodder coverage I’ve ever seen… many thanks for this video … it’s something to think about with the motives you presented.
I'd also like to hear your take on Georgia Tan. I've read quite a bit on her. She was one evil sow. Another well told story, thank you.
Absolutely want to hear about the Tennessee Children's Home Society.
This is such a fascinating case! I wonder if they could do DNA testing today to see if that man was his son & to learn more about this case! I personally don’t believe they died in that fire! Would love to know what happened though!!!
My thoughts exactly
I can't believe it took some of these people so long to come forward with this information.
Thank you for your content. You consistently deliver interesting stories with the exact level of detail required in an interesting and factual manner. Definitely one of my favourites channels.
Literally just stumbled on Sommer and I am a fan! Best “story” teller ever.
I always thought the children had to have been taken.
And to those who say the children would remember something... well they might have, but out of context and everyday life, such things can be set aside as dreams or nightmares.

I do think something sinister happened to that poor family. I can’t even imagine what George and Jenny were going through, missing their babies. And yes I’d love to hear more about those baby farms, kid snatchers, evil doers 😃 THANK YOU
first video I've seen from you. Long story short... You just got a new follower.
It's such a bizarre lie to claim that the fire was so hot that no bones could be found, but he supposedly found a heart 😂
A liver heart no less😂
I think have found my new favorite YTer❤️ The algorithm Gods led me to your channel and I love the way you cover these tragedies with respect. That is becoming harder and harder to find
This 1 hit close to home. I lived only few miles from there for many years. I remember the old sign next to main road they had up with kids photos.

Who ever grab them kids I believe them kids had to know them & they know a lot about that family. You couldn’t get them kids out of that house quietly unless they know them people.
How were the police/fire chief who obviously handled this case badly, treated in the community after this?
Well, that's a first for me. I had to go back in places as there was so much going on. What an incredible story. So sad for the parents never getting any real closure.

The children were sold. Why didn't they hear screaming while they were burning to death. They were kidnapped and sold.
Smoke inhalation is a silent killer. However, I don’t believe that’s what happened in this case.
They never would have found a heart, that muscle tissue would have burned far before the bones. Why are so many people desperate for attention that they would lie to a grieving family? Breaks my heart.
Absolutely, you should do a video on the Tennessee Children's Home & others. I think that would be very informative!
Oh please do a video about Georgia Kant and the children trafficking. Very interesting but terribly sad story about the Sodder children.

I don’t think the fire killed the based on no evidence of human remains and the sketchy police. The Georgia Tann story is definitely one to cover. I actually grew up with a neighbor who was a survivor of that place.
Yes I'd love to hear more about those type of facilities.
I’ve never heard of the Tennessee Children’s Home Society! I definitely am interested in watching you talk about it! I truly enjoy your videos! Your research is very thorough and you have a way of talking calmly about these things that I’ve never heard from another true crime teller.
Id definitely watch a video on that.
As for the children in this video, its technically possible for all remains to burn in a fire but unlikely and there were too many suspicious circumstances around this for me to believe that
My grandfather came to the US from Italy as a young man in the 1910’s. My dad was born in ‘43 and his father would never speak Italian or let him learn because of the embarrassment he felt about Mussolini
YO SANCHEz! You had me hanging on to my seat !! 🙏🏽 great story telling!!!
Hi Sommer! Yes! I’d love to hear you do a piece on that child society thing and that horrible woman. Years ago on “Unsolved Mysteries”, there was a man looking for his sister. They had gotten separated when they were younger and it was by people like that woman . May had been her! I can’t remember but yes, that would be interesting. I know around the thirties and forties a lot of shady stuff when on involving young children. Sad. I tend to believe the Sodder children were taken. And the fire was set by whoever took them. So very sad.
❤️💜💚
I've never believed the children died in the fire. Five children and no one heard them scream from fear? No one saw any sign of them breaking out windows upstairs trying to escape or trying to get down the stairs? No way. They were stolen and the perpetrators hoped the parents would die in the fire.
Yeah how the heck would you find soft tissue such as an organ, but yet not one single piece of bone in the fire rubble... I always thought someone high up with power wanted children very badly and somehow fixated on the sodder children. Taking the youngest ones would be perfect in that scenario because it would be a lot easier the manipulate them into thinking that their family died in a fire or something and they were adopted, also whomever took them would have more time with them at home before growing up and moving out. Most logical theory I've been able to come to over the years, especially with such utter disregard from the community officials and police and fire. Seems like everyone besides the community leaders where trying to help this family.
Its so strange that the eldest sister didnt hear the thing that hit the roof if she was so close to her parents room, and that beither the fire or the phone ringing woke her up? How was she sleeping so heavily?
Please do a video on Georgia. She had Hollywood connections and was so despicable but I’d love to see an in depth video on her.
happy holidays Sommer thanks for another great video
Thank YOU for watching 🖤🖤🖤
@@sommersanchez no problem thank you for putting out outstanding videos
Absolutely fascinating story, thank you. I am interested in hearing about the Children's Home. It would be a great episode.
That game that you talk about at the beginning sounds like a way to track/collect information about the population disguised as a test for your relationship.
Like how everyone jumped on the give away your DNA train in the last few years..in the name of finding your "Ancestry"😂people aren't too bright I'm afraid🙄❤🇦🇺🙏
Sommer, thank you for another great video. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
As a housefire survivor, listening to the story of the night of the fire is tough. Keep having to pause it, but I’m too invested to stop completely 😅🤣
I'm new to your channel & also this story. I'm definitely interested in hearing more about the TN childres home society. What a horrific thing for the parents to go through. ❤😢🙏
Its wild how often men want to punish other men for having a negative opinion of them or their beliefs, & they use insane violence or attacks & insults to "prove" they are actually good men.
Just men wanting to punish anyone. The violence seems innate
Thank you Sommer. Will share.
Hello! I love your channel. You really are one of the best storytellers of these gruesome topics. Every time I see that there is a new video it makes my day.
It "might" have been after the end of World War 2? A quick check says it was three months after the end of World War 2, but the USA was very afraid of the USSR and still maintained a large occupying force in western Europe at the time. Firefighters might indeed have been in short supply.
Great job telling us this story in such detail and with such empathy for the Sodder family
I don't think kids died in fire, I think someone took them before fire and then lighted up the fire. And somehow local authorities were involved in the whole event. I think father of the kids pissed off some wrong people.
Yeah, if the majority of the town supported the Italian dictator, that's likely the case
I use your stories to relax at night. I'm glad I found these by total accident
Sommer please do a story about Georgia Tan im interested to know that story as well love the video
You and your hubby are so 😍 adorable ❤!! I have been married for 20 years so I'm always looking for things to strengthen our bond and keep our marriage gois and strong 💪 💖
This is sad,how can people be this wicked
The lack of interest in solving the disappearance of the kids , or finding out what happened to them, by the local authorities , definitely make me think their responsible , or they helped cover -up a crime . What I don't understand is , why the Sodder family were targeted !
I've never heard of this case. Very sad. I don't think the kids perished in the fire. Yes, would love to hear about the Children's Home!
Another great story I haven’t heard! Thank you!
my feelings: since the children werent seen even before the fire, they likely were taken, or killed and their bodies tucked away. it is still weird that no bone fragments would have been found. however, they were small children and wouldnt have the same bone structure as adults.
Should definitely do a video about that Georgia tan facility
So many questions! Why didn't the children yell someone when they were being kidnapped? When they got to where they were going why didn't they say something? Even if they ended with Georgia Tan, they it seems could say something. Why wasn't the gal asleep downstairs not taken also?
Thanks Sommer!
Just the fact that the Fire Department didn’t come out tells me so much about this case.
Clearly they were paid not to come.
There is absolutely NO way no remains were found from 5 people that is insane.
Love your content. Thanks for the well-presented stories
Another epic story and video .. ur awesome , thank you sommer xxx
i could be wrong but didn't Joan Crawford adopt her children from Georgia Tann?? ... I'd love to see someone do a video on that
How evil are people to know the pain this couple was going through and yet proceed to lie to them about what happened to their children. This is so sad
