Crime Crackers: The Sodder Children Disappearance

Crime Crackers: The Sodder Children Disappearance

Welcome to Crime Crackers, a true crime book club like you've never seen before. Instead of discussing one book, we will provide multiple resources about each case. You get to choose how you want to consume the case, then join Liz and other true crime enthusiasts to discuss it and see if we can crack it! Bring along any information that you've found, and let's compare!

Our first club will discuss the disappearance of the Sodder Children from their home in Fayetteville, WV in 1945. After a tragic housefire on Christmas, the children were never to be seen again.
