‘Someone Knows Something’ returns

Among the many options to keep you entertained while isolating at home is an old favourite returning to CBC Podcasts. “Someone Knows Something” returns Tuesday for its sixth season and its first episode since 2018.

The investigative series hosted by Canadian filmmaker David Ridgen profiles unsolved cases of missing or murdered people, with the hope the podcast will jar loose tips that can help solve the crimes.

It kicked off in 2016 with episodes about the disappearance in 1972 of five-year-old Adrien McNaughton near Calabogie, Ont. That disappearance is still unsolved, but the podcast produced a plausible theory of what happened to Adrien.

The new episodes are about Donald Izzett Jr., a19-year-old who disappeared from San Francisco in 1995.
