Hi there, I'm David Ridgen. I'm the investigator and host of Someone Knows Something. I want to tell you about someone named Christine Herron. Chrissy was a book-loving teenager from Hanover, Ontario. One afternoon in the spring of 1993, she said goodbye to her mother and left for school. Chrissy was never seen again. But in the aftermath of her disappearance, a suspect emerged.

Someone who I come face-to-face with. The new season is available right now. It's a story of murder and heartbreak and investigative error. Here's the first episode. Chrissy, have a listen. I'm at another river. This one flowing through a southwestern Ontario town on a clear but darkening springtime evening.

I recorded these nature sounds well over a decade ago for a TV documentary using the same microphone I now use for the podcast. This thing always seems to be standing between me and the unknown. Somehow oddly comforting.

The river's flowing clear, but there's lots of debris kind of pushed against the shoreline. There's obviously a pretty high floodplain here.

I remember focusing on the sounds these things made here. Chains on a swing, muddy logs at the high water mark, brushy grasses along the path, and that metal gate. I wonder if these objects, or the sounds they made, ever held any actual comfort for anyone. At one time, this park was Christine Herron's favorite place in the whole world, I've been told.

If I'd been here before May 18th, 1993, I might have seen her down here catching frogs or fishing.
