[PODCASTS] CBC's Someone Knows Something
Jun. 25th, 2023 02:08 pmSo, I'll preface every true crime podcast by saying that I'm very picky about the true crime podcasts I listen too. I really dislike the exploitative, sensational, or unnecessarily gruesome shows. I prefer the ones that focus on marginalized cases or ones that are very thoughtful.
CBC's Someone Knows Something was one of the first podcasts I really got into. Hosted by David Ridgen, I really enjoyed his voice as well as his thoughtfulness about approaching cold cases. There are seven seasons and the first season captivated me because it explored using cadaver dogs to find a decades old scent:
In 1972, five-year-old Adrien McNaughton vanished while on a family fishing trip in Eastern Ontario. Despite an intensive search and investigation, no sign of Adrien was found, no clue as to where he might be. The case has hung over the area like a dark mass ever since, especially in the small town of Arnprior, where the McNaughton family lived.
In season one of the podcast Someone Knows Something, host David Ridgen, who grew up in Arnprior, goes back to investigate. Ridgen, a independent filmmaker with a proven record of solving cold cases, asks the questions that have been waiting for answers for over 40 years. He speaks to family, friends and other members of the community, discovering new leads and evidence, trying to put the ghosts of the past to rest.
All the cases are unsolved--with the hope that someone knows something and will come forward.
