This is an old thread and I'm not sure if it is still being monitored - this is my first post on WebSleuths so I don't really know how things work around here! But I've been fascinated with the Sodder family for a while and after reading thread after thread, I have one question.
I understand, completely, that it is more plausible for the children to have died in the fire. But the one thing that haunts me, that no one seems to be talking about on these threads, is the disappearance of the private investigator that went to Kentucky after the supposed photo of Louis Sodder was mailed to Jennie. They hired a P.I., he went to Kentucky, and he was never heard from again. Does this not strike anyone as a little suspicious?
