Every single one of the versions I’ve heard talk about this is that the house only burnt for 45 minutes, yet the fire dept only arrived 8 hours later. There was coal in that basement and that would’ve kept it hot for many hours after it stopped burning. Could’ve that been the reason no bones were found? Were they actually therefore cremated? Another question how cold was it that day? Could the temperature outside been the reason the truck’s wouldn’t start?
So this is interesting as we interviewed someone who has done a ton of content on the case and someone after who also has done a ton of content/research and they conflicted on these points. One after the video has even interviewed one of the sodder grandchildren. There are some theroies I was thinking about going over in a part 2 that are insanely interesting. There was a dispute from Jennie's parents estate with her brothers. Even was threatned by her brothers boss. Whenever there are holes in a story its hard to have definites which makes this so hard to close. Do I think its a possiblity that their bones were cremated? Definitely a possibility. It was Christmas and in North Carolina on that night it was as low as 9 degrees farienheit so I imagine it was at least that if not cooler. So yeah the weather could have 100% been a reason it didn't start. Never thought about that.
Interesting and terribly tragic. With the mention of the brother- I could see the plausibility in him taking the children, insisting they get out of the house as it was on fire, they would have known him, trusted him. After the fire, the uncle could have told them their family did perish and they would have to live with him. This would have been long before the internet- he could have kept them in the dark for many years until they grew up and had families of their own...or, he could have transported them out of the country, again- they were children, vulnerable and would have been easily coerced by their "only" living relative to believe all he had told them. These parents spent the remaining years of their lives, looking for their children- as a parent, I would have left no stone uncovered, including sifting through debris to find some physical remnant of a child. Bones do not completely disintegrate due to their calcium content- it would take an extreme amount of heat, contained and ongoing to do so- those parents would have combed those ashes more diligently than anyone else- but they found absolutely nothing. Good story, thank you.
It is terribly tragic. I can't imagine going my whole life not knowing what happened to my kids. Especially that many of them. Not finding a single bone of any of the kids is what gets me. Not even a fragment. The brother theory makes a lot of since. Especially with the life insurance payout of the mother and things like that. Why would people randomly spot the children in the city he lived in without knowing that was the brother. Things like that just didn't make sense to me.
