## Resource

This week we're showcasing our friend Alecia of Truly Twisted. On Christmas Eve 1945, in the rural outskirts of Fayetteville, West Virginia, George and Jennie Sodder tucked their children into bed for the night with the anticipation of spending Christmas together the next morning. Tragically a fire quickly engulfed the home forcing the family to leave, but 5 of the children were still inside. What would unfold that evening is still one of the greatest mysteries in the true crime world today, leaving us to wonder, what happened to the Sodder Children? Join Alecia on social media @itstrulytwisted on Instagram and @trulytwisted on TikTok, and personally @littleleesha.
