Someone Knows Something

Someone Knows Something is a gripping investigative documentary podcast from CBC, hosted by award-winning filmmaker David Ridgen. Each season takes a deep dive into a different unsolved case, combining meticulous investigative journalism with powerful storytelling that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. David Ridgen brings decades of documentary filmmaking experience to the podcast, personally traveling to crime scenes, knocking on doors, and conducting interviews with witnesses, suspects, and family members of victims. The show's first season investigated the 1972 disappearance of five-year-old Adrien McNaughton during a family fishing trip in Ontario, while subsequent seasons have explored other cold cases across Canada and the United States. What sets Someone Knows Something apart from other true crime podcasts is its deeply personal approach — Ridgen doesn't just report on cases from a distance; he embeds himself in the communities affected and builds genuine relationships with the families seeking answers. The podcast has actually helped generate new leads and tips in several cases, demonstrating the real-world impact that dedicated investigative journalism can have.
