I am so sorry to read that you are not in contact with your family. The Sodder Christmas Eve Mystery of 1945 has never been solved and I think that is very sad since those present at the fire that night are already deceased or are getting elderly. I have always been very interested in this mystery and visited the board when it was still by the highway before it was torn down. Many things have been written on the subject.
There was a 1968 detective magazine which had the story, and many local writers have written about it. Mrs. Sodder received a picture after the 1968 detective story of one of the boys in his early thirties. She always swore that he was one and the same as one of the boys lost in the fire and had his picture on her mantle, I guess to the day she died. Now with new technically, I would say with out a doubt, with age progression it could be proven whether this was in fact one of her lost children.

Sadly, time is moving swiftly by and mystery will probably never be solved.
