I could be wrong but I think it was supected the fire chief or someone put a cow's liver in some kind of metal box and buried it near the burned out homeplace trying to pass it of as human and that didn't work out as there plan

There are some good points here. The pictures may have come from family, or perhaps the school photographer (or who ever took them) had the negatives. Good point about the kids being told the parents died.Teresa Larson said:I was also wondering who had the pictures of the children for the billboard? The Sodders lost everything in the fire so who would had these pictures? Did they have any family living near by? I know younger children would try to hide from the fire and smoke but I doubt the 2 older children would unless they were over come by the smoke. I believe that they were some how lured out of the house that night. That would explain why the door was still unlocked and the lights were left on. They could have even been lured out of the house by someone they all knew. The Mafia + coal mines meant lots of trouble back then. Mr Sodder may have refused to pay his "protective dues" I also think the authorities probably knew why this happened that's why they took their time and why there are so many discrepancies in this case. The older children knew where they came from so they could have made contact with their family later However who ever took them could have convinced them the rest of the family died in the fire. They may have even taken them past the burned remains of house later. Children that are kidnapped are often told their parent or parents died They never bother looking because they believe they are dead. Does anybody know if they searched the site in recent years and if so did they find anything?
