This week, A.C. teams up with Erin, host of Stars of the Golden Age, for a special crossover episode exploring one of Hollywood’s most haunting and misunderstood cases. Virginia Rappe was just 26 when she attended a partyin Room 1219. Days later, she was dead. Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, one of the biggest stars in silent film, was arrested, tried and ultimately acquitted. But the truth? It never made it out of the headlines.

Together, we uncover the lives, the scandal, and the mystery still lingering behind the locked door of the St. Francis Hotel.

A quick note from the creator.

If you've been here since the beginning, you may have noticed something different. If you're new, this is the perfect place to start.

In this short episode, I’m stepping out from behind the scenes to share how The Wanted Files is evolving, what’s changed, and why I’m finally narrating the stories myself.

This show has always been about the unheard voices, the unsolved mysteries, and the cases that get under your skin - and that hasn't changed.

I’m still learning as I go, but I’m here to tell these stories my way and I’m so grateful you're here for it.

🎙️ Thanks for listening, and welcome to this next chapter.

This week, A.C. dives into one of the most haunting missing persons cases in American history, the disappearance of the Sodder children. On Christmas Eve, 1945, a fire broke out in the Sodder family home. Five children were never seen again. No bodies. No remains. Just unanswered questions. Did they perish in the fire, their remains somehow completely destroyed? Or were they kidnapped, their disappearance hidden beneath the smoke? And if someone took them, why was there never a ransom demand? The Sodder family spent decades searching for their lost children—but the truth never came.
