10:05 On Christmas Eve, the Sodder children's mother received a strange phone call from a woman looking for someone she didn't know, and later noticed that the lights were on and the door was unlocked, but assumed the children had gone to bed, until she was awoken by a thump on the roof and later discovered that her house was on fire.

14:29 The Sodder children's parents were able to get their two-year-old daughter out of the house before it burned down, but their five other children were trapped on the top floor and couldn't be reached due to the flames and smoke.
