UPDATE: The Sodder Children
The episode revisits the 1945 Sodder family fire in Fayetteville, West Virginia, where five children vanished without a trace, and presents new evidence uncovered by Miranda Weeks, the great-great-granddaughter of one of the missing kids.

MURDERED: Bill & Peggy Stephenson
The murder of Bill and Peggy Stephenson in 2011 remains one of Boone County, Kentucky’s most haunting unsolved cases, marked by a bizarre, ritualistic crime scene and years of silence—until a breakthrough 12 years later when a lab technician recognized a partial fingerprint from a podcast and made a match to a man with ties to the couple who then refused to cooperate. Despite conflicting DNA and fingerprint evidence, investigators believe they are closer than ever to solving the case, but unresolved questions and unidentified forensic traces keep it open.
