Sodder Children

On Christmas Eve 1945 the Sodder family home caught fire, only 4 of the 9 children made it out. After the fire was extinguished no bodies were found leading the family to believe that the children had been taken before the fire started. Were they or was this just the wishful thinking of grieving parents?
