Kaylin Moore: 本期节目深入探讨了1945年圣诞夜索德尔五子失踪案的离奇事件。这场悲剧发生在西弗吉尼亚州费耶特维尔镇,至今仍是未解之谜,在当地居民心中挥之不去。节目中,我们回顾了火灾当晚的混乱场景,以及此后发生的种种离奇事件,例如失踪的梯子、无法启动的卡车、迟到的消防队等等。这些异常现象引发了人们对案件背后真相的诸多猜测,有人认为孩子们死于火灾,也有人认为他们被绑架了。 节目中还提到了索德尔夫妇多年来为寻找孩子所做的努力,包括雇佣私人侦探、向联邦调查局求助、以及在城镇竖立广告牌等。他们始终坚持不懈地寻找真相,直到生命的尽头。然而,案件的真相至今仍未水落石出,给人们留下了无尽的疑问和猜测。 Leo: 就我个人而言,起初我倾向于认为孩子们是被绑架了。然而,在听完节目的详细描述后,我开始怀疑他们可能死于火灾。虽然这令人难以接受,但节目中提到的许多细节,例如火灾现场没有发现孩子们的遗体、父亲没有闻到烧焦的肉味、以及火灾调查中的一些疑点,都让我不得不重新思考这个可能性。当然,这仅仅是我的个人推测,案件的真相还有待进一步的调查和揭示。

Shownotes Transcript

On Christmas Eve, 1945, a fire broke out in the Sodder family home destroying the entire house and taking five of the nine children with it. Shortly after the fire, and due to some VERY strange evidence, the father of the family started to believe that maybe the children were actually....kidnapped

In this episode, we'll deep dive into the night of the fire as well as the bizarre events that took place afterward to try and figure out just what happened to those children that fateful night.
