Voices for Justice

This episode originally aired on August 10, 2023. At around 3:30 am on March 9, 2019, 25-year-old Aubrey Dameron left her mother’s house near Grove, Oklahoma. She told her family that she was going to meet someone. Aubrey hasn’t been seen since. This is a case full of confusing leads. Allegations that Aubreywas kidnapped and being held for ransom, an alleged murder confession, andevidence that, in my opinion, needs another look. For years, Aubrey’s family has searched high and low, but no signof her has been found. They are desperate for answers. If you listen to my other podcast, Disappearances, you know thatI’ve discussed Aubrey’s case before. I did a joint episode discussing Aubreyand the disappearance of Anthonette Cayedito with a heavy focus on the epidemicof Missing and Murdered Indigenous people. It is a very informative episodethat is very close to my heart. So, if you’re looking for more information onthis epidemic, I absolutely recommend listening to that. Now we worked on that episode back in 2021, and I haven’t beenable to stop thinking about these cases, and since then, there have been someupdates in Aubrey’s case. So, I thought I would try to bring Aubrey back intothe spotlight and draw even more attention to her case with a full-lengthepisode on just Aubrey. At the time of her disappearance, Aubrey, a 5 foot 9, 130-poundCherokee woman with brown hair and eyes, was wearing a black leather jacket,black top, black skirt, black knitted hose, and black boots. She has atriquetra symbol tattoo on her back and another tattoo reading"Shorty" (her nickname) on her upper left arm. Anyone with information about Aubrey’s case is asked to call theFBI at (918) 664-3300 or the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service at (918) 207-3800. Follow the Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/MissingAubreyDameron Thank you to our sponsor June's Journey!Download Junes Journey today on IOS or Android. For more information about the podcast and the cases discussed,visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.comDon't forget to follow me on social media under Voices for JusticePodcast & SarahETurneyJoin the Patreon family to get instant access to a library ofextra content, support the show, and support these caseshttps://www.patreon.com/VoicesforJustice The introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread ofClouds by Blue Dot Sessions.

At around 1:00 am on December 25, 1945, Jennie Sodder woke up to smoke pouring into her bedroom. She woke up her husband, George, and they started evacuating the house of their nine children. By the time the fire took over the Sodder residence, only Jennie, George, and four of their children made it outside safely.George and two of his sons frantically tried to get into the house to save the remaining children, but they couldn’t. When George went to fill up a bucket with water to start extinguishing the flames, the water was frozen, when he went to grab their ladder to get his children from the top story, the ladder was missing; when he went to drive his trucks to the second story window, neither would start despite having worked just the day before. And when they tried to call the fire department for help, no one responded for hours.The only thing the family could do was watch as their home burned to the ground. Hours later, after the smoldering ashes were put out, a group of people began searching for the children’s remains, but nothing was found. Not a single bone was found in the ashes. The fire was quickly ruled an accident, and investigators told the family the children’s bodies had burned up completely in the fire, leaving nothing of them behind, not even their bones.But between the mishaps, while trying to put out the fire, threats made against the family before the fire, and the strange behavior of authorities throughout the investigation, Jennie and George Sodder refused to believe five of their children were killed in the home. They were convinced their children didn’t die in the fire, and they spent the rest of their lives trying to prove it.For more information about the show, visit VoicesforJusticePodcast.com.Follow us on social media:Twitter: @VFJPodInstagram: @VoicesforJusticePodcastTikTok: @VoicesforJusticePodcastFacebook: @VoicesforJusticePodcast Voices for Justice is hosted by Sarah TurneyTwitter: @SarahETurneyInstagram: @SarahETurneyTikTok: @SarahETurneyFacebook: @SarahETurneyYouTube: @SarahTurneyThe introduction music used in Voices for Justice is Thread of Clouds by Blue Dot Sessions.
