Someone Knows Something

CBC journalist David Ridgen spent decades investigating cold cases, and this podcast is the culmination of that obsession. Each season follows one case: Season 1 (Adrien McNaughton, missing since 1972) and Season 2 (Sheryl Sheppard, murdered 1998) are masterclasses in how dogged journalism can pressure police to reopen investigations. Ridgen's approach is patient, empathetic, and methodical — no sensationalism, no speculation, just evidence. The podcast directly contributed to new leads in multiple cases.
