[Music]

VOICE 1: You're listening to Someone Knows Something from CBC Radio.

In 1972, five-year-old Adrien McNaughton vanished while on a fishing trip in Eastern Ontario.
Documentarian David Ridgen goes back to the small town he grew up in, searching for answers.

[Footsteps up the bush road]

[Bird cawing]

RIDGEN: It's day two of the cadaver dog search up here at Holmes Lake, near Calabogie in Eastern
Ontario. Yesterday we pounded through the bush with our GPS' and our amazing sniffer dogs but
found nothing related to the disappearance of five-year-old Adrien McNaughton. The clouds are
here in force today, temperature hovering around five degrees. I've arrived early and I'm heading
back to the bush road to Holmes Lake, when I see a well-used, red tar paper shack at the roadside.
It's one of the old hunt camps green dotted on the map, and I stop to take a look.

RIDGEN: There's a little hunt camp here beside the road. Just a little red ramshackle building.

Camp's alarmed and booby trapped. Great. Can't really tell much. Just a hunting camp. Can't be
able to tell much until the dogs get here.

The dog teams behind me call ahead and say they'll cover the hunt camp and area on the way. So,
I continue to the meeting place and start walking up the bush road towards Holmes Lake. Like
Shontelle McNaughton did the day before. And like her, I feel the need to be alone with my
thoughts in these woods.

Not many birds singing. December. Guess they'd be confused if they were here.

But it's not long before I hear the familiar sound of Kim Cooper's truck approaching.

Good morning.

KIM: Good morning, how are you?

RIDGEN: I'm good, I'm good. Good morning. So, did the other guys go to the cabin?

KIM: Yeah. They got to the cabin at this point, so...

RIDGEN: Okay. Uh, what should I do...?

While we wait for Pauline and her dog Quinn, that's the new team joining us today, to arrive from
the hunt cabin, Kim and I decide on the order of events for the morning.

RIDGEN: If you wanted to start going in the lakes there, it probably won't take long.

KIM: Yup, very quick.

RIDGEN: Good. I'm gonna...

RIDGEN: Yesterday's GPS tracks reveal that we missed a segment of the land between Holmes
Lake and Centre Lake.

RIDGEN: So, at the beginning of every day, you...

[Zipper unzipping]

KIM: All right. Navigation by GPS.

[GPS buttons beeping]

KIM: It's not gonna take much, actually, from what we did yesterday. Two or three cuts through
there and we've got it covered off. Which dog?

RIDGEN: So, we'll cover that off before moving on to any of the other areas.

[Whistling]

KIM: Sit. Just gonna steer us right into the holes from yesterday.

RIDGEN: Kim and I plunge back into the bush with Grief, the younger male dog.

KIM: Yeah, we hadn't actually gotten quite to this spot yesterday.

RIDGEN: We walk along the rugged shoreline of Holmes Lake much closer to the water than
yesterday, and into the area we did not cover.

RIDGEN: So, I was led to believe that this end of the lake was just too dense, no way anyone would
ever walk here. It's actually clearer than the other side. Yeah, it's that point over there where he
was last seen, actually. Just right over there. If we go along here, we'll get to the...

RIDGEN: And then, Grief the dog.

[Wading through water]

RIDGEN: He's drinking out of the lake now. Checking out the water. Pretty attentive.

[Grief's bell ringing]

RIDGEN: Seem interested in something, or is it my imagination?

KIM: Well, he just-- we have a small behaviour change here. The longer we stand still here, the
more I start convincing him that I'd like him to check if there's something there.

7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

RIDGEN: I see.

KIM: I'm gonna move more.

RIDGEN: Kind of fulfill the prophecy a little bit.

KIM: Yeah.

RIDGEN: He did seem very attentive there.

Grief clearly, at least to my untrained eyes, made changes in his body posture. He walked down to
the shoreline, stood on a rock, and looked out, sniffing toward the lake. Supremely quiet, at
attention, and still. Concentrating.

What's with the drinking and stuff? Is that like trying to get more scent into his nose?

KIM: Yeah, actually, that's pretty astute that you noticed. Um, he doesn't swim and drink. He's
biting the water; he's tasting the water. So, they-- they can-- licking at the water, biting at the water
is a way of trying to pick up more of what's out there.

[Grief's bell ringing]

RIDGEN: So, do you-- do you make anything of that, or is it just kind of...

KIM: He certainly didn't indicate. But he um, he changed his own path a couple of times. So, he's
moving forward with certain rate of speed, and then all of a sudden, he hooks back on himself.

RIDGEN: So, he seems to be kind of going back.

KIM: Well, now we're not getting the hook back. He's just running now.

RIDGEN: So, it's a sudden jerk back.

KIM: Yeah. Moving in a certain direction, and then for no apparent reason, they change direction.
Yeah, it's just a hook. All of a sudden, they hook. Now, that could be that there's a dead raccoon in
there, and they're gonna hook back 'cause it's different. But they're not going to tell us something
there's something there, they're just gonna hook back out of sheer curiosity. So, any number of
things can make the dog hook back on itself. But uh, yeah, that's why I say it's nice to have a
second dog. And see if we get a similar behaviour change up there with the second dog.

RIDGEN: How do the dogs know it's a human bone?

KIM: We still don't know enough about it for me to absolutely answer that question. But forensic
anthropologists are certainly studying the odour of decomposition, and there's a definite
difference between animal odours and human odours. There are some 500 chemicals that are
involved overall, and there's a small set of maybe-- maybe ten or 15 that are unique to human. Uh,
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 4/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

but we certainly know through training, we put out our human bones, our training aids, and the
dogs will burn right past deer bone, coyote bone, any other bone. Pay no attention to it
whatsoever and zoom right in on the human bone only. So-- so they know there's a difference.
They can-- and they can tell what it is.

RIDGEN: It's easy to believe the narrative you want versus the truth you're in. Grief's actions are
different here, and it's the first time in the two days he has acted this way, that we have seen. But
what do these actions really mean? He's specifically trained to react to the smell of human decay
only. But underwater? Luckily, we have two other dogs here, and we can bring them in to the same
situation to see what they think.

Back at the cars, we meet Pauline, who has arrived with her dog, the beautiful and very
personable Quinn.

Hello.

PAULINE: Hi.

RIDGEN: I'm David. Nice to meet you. I'll shake your elbow.

[Pauline laughs]

RIDGEN: Nice to see you. So, we had a little interesting moment over there.

KIM: Just a little one.

RIDGEN: Kim tells Pauline about Grief's findings. Kim's cautious by nature, and rightly careful not
to overblow anything.

KIM: He showed a behaviour change by this lake. Just-- just enough that he hooked into the lake a
couple times. He didn't indicate or anything like that, so I'll just bring Breeze up and...

PAULINE: We can go double check.

RIDGEN: Probably.

To maximize our time together, Pauline and Quinn are detailed to search out the bush road
coming in from the Calabogie side, to see if they can locate any remains of older hunt camps.
Their search of the camp I found on the way in turned up nothing. Meanwhile, Kim and I take
Breeze, the more experienced female dog, back up to the lake.

It's moving pretty quick here.

At this point, it's one dog, almost nothing. A whisper of something nameless. But still, everyone
wants confirmation.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 5/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

KIM: We had a small change in behaviour from my other dog close to the lakeshore, so we're just
gonna bring a second dog up, and see if we get, again, a change in behaviour from a second dog.

We get two dogs showing change, starts to become more interesting. Maybe there's something
that needs to be looked at here. But uh, this is definitely less than-- than a perfect scenario, to
come in on a search 42 years afterwards.

[Breeze barking]

KIM: That'll do.

RIDGEN: We approach the area where Grief made his actions once again. Kim is very careful not
to lead Breeze into any kind of expected behaviour. Following behind her evenly, continuing to
move, ever watchful of the dog's every action.

[Breeze barking]

RIDGEN: Interesting.

[Breeze barking]

RIDGEN: Started to bark. That's interesting.

KIM: We're standing still here. So, she's going, why do you wanna-- why do you wanna have a look
at this spot?

RIDGEN: She's looking in the same place.

[Breeze barking]

KIM: Alright, come go show me. Ready? Okay, go find it. Let's go.

[Breeze barking]

RIDGEN: Barking. Barking at the water. Kim's trying to get her to go.

KIM: Okay, break. Good girl. Good girl. So, it looks like a strong positive. If you don't know the dog,
she-- she likes to bark. She likes her ball. Um, I would say we have some subtle signs here. As much
as it looks dramatic, the actual body language of sniffing, was fairly subtle. So, I consider her to be
the better dog of the two. He actually gave more body language than she did. And we spent a lot
of time standing still here. So, what do I know? I know I'd like to have a look at the lake.

[Breeze barking]

KIM: Hey! I know I'd like to bring the third dog down. And I know I'd probably even bring her back
in here a couple hours from now.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 6/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

RIDGEN: To me, it seemed like it wasn't just us standing here. She actually looked in exactly the
same direction.

KIM: It's something I'd want to look at closer, of course. And you know, this limitation we have
with water is, this is as much as we can do with a dog. Short of getting a boat and going out on the
water in a boat. But if you're going to make that effort, you might as well just drag some divers up
and have them go in.

RIDGEN: Now two dogs have made intriguing actions at the same spot. The accuracy of cadaver
dogs, according to my research at least, on land, even with remains many feet underground, is in
the ninetieth percentile and up. But while some of the dog’s actions point to the shoreline area
here, many more of them point towards the water. The water of Holmes Lake.

[Music]

RIDGEN: There is precedent, such as in the fairly well publicized account from Priest Lake, Idaho,
with dogs detecting a body 15 to 20 years after death, in 350 feet of water. And all the handlers I've
spoken to agree that dogs, under the right conditions, can sniff out molecules of decay from
remains under bodies of water.

When we get back to the trucks, we have to wait for Pauline and Quinn to return from their run
down to the old hunt camp areas. So, Kim decides to show me something.

[Rustling and grunting]

RIDGEN: She reaches into the back of her truck and pulls out what looks like a small orange
plastic cooler.

KIM: All right, so we're just gonna set out a bit of a motivational problem for the dogs. They've
been going a couple of days without finding anything. So, this just gives them a chance to actually
earn the ball that they've been desperately seeking. So, I'm just getting my safety gloves on. And
the dog is clearly aware of what's happening. He's getting a little excited.

[Dog begging]

KIM: Just go into my cadaver box here, and we'll pull out a vertebra, uh, and use that.

RIDGEN: Kim's decided to show me how the dogs react to real human bones.

Where do you get this?

KIM: Believe it or not, you can order it online. Bones can be bought through the Internet. And
other materials, we can obtain legally like things like placenta, or-- or um, ground where-- if
someone has died and not been discovered for several days, the ground will be saturated with

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 7/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

odours that we can use. So, there's nothing-- there's no feet, there's no hands in our cadaver
boxes. There's nothing that can be identified.

RIDGEN: So, what are you holding there?

KIM: So, I've got a vertebra. Single human vertebrate. You wouldn't think there's a whole lot of
odour on this, but there's plenty. The dog will have no trouble picking up on this one vertebra.
And we're gonna go stick this out in the woods, and then we'll come back and let the dog have a
go and have a chance to earn his reward.

[Bag rustling]

KIM: Well, see how hard that is to see? So, if the dog finds it, he's definitely finding it 'cause he
smells it, not 'cause he sees it.

[Dogs barking]

KIM: I can go back and get a dog.

RIDGEN: I'll stay over here.

The dogs know they will soon be finding a bone, but they don't know where it is. And I'd say it's at
least 100 metres away from where they are on the truck cab right now.

[Dog's bells ringing]

[Dog barking]

KIM: Good boy, good boy.

RIDGEN: Sweeping in a zigzag pattern, Grief finds the human vertebrae within probably 15
seconds. All by using his nose. It's amazing to behold. Pauline and Quinn have arrived back, so
we're anxious to see what Quinn makes of the area the other two dogs have been interested in.

KIM: What we'll do is we'll just-- we'll just follow you. I won't tell you anything and just let you do it.
And then if you get nothing, I mean, on the way back we'll just sort of say, maybe check this area a
little bit more closely and see if something happens.

RIDGEN: We don't tell Pauline where on the lake to look. And obviously, Quinn has no idea. We
follow along silently behind them and watch. Not quite a double-blind test, but as close as we can
get with neither party knowing where the site is.

KIM: So, we're just going to have Pauline have a check of the um, the shore of the lake here. We've
had some behaviour changes from two dogs, but they're not-- they're far from definitive. So, we're

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 8/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

gonna have her have a check. She has no clue where our dogs had behaviour changes. So, this is a
totally honest view with a third dog.

RIDGEN: All right, so should we follow?

KIM: Yup!

[Dog bell ringing]

[Rustling]

RIDGEN: Something. Interesting. So, what do you think?

KIM: Uh, I'd love to have some divers come in, yeah.

RIDGEN: What did you see him do?

KIM: Um, he started sniffing more rapidly. And at the same time closed in his ranging, tightened it
up. There was definitely a change in body character. Yeah.

RIDGEN: Do you want to stop at that, or...

KIM: Just a tiny bit more.

RIDGEN: There was very obviously something different there.

KIM: Yeah.

RIDGEN: Interesting, huh? Three separate dogs. Three identical reactions in exactly the same
place. Holy fuck.

VOICE 1: There’s evil living here.

ANNOUNCER: From executive producer Jordan Peele.

VOICE 3: I think there's Nazis living in America, and someone out there is taking them out.

[Music]

ANNOUNCER: Now.

VOICE 4: You put together a group of Nazi hunters?

ANNOUNCER: Revenge is righteous.

VOICE 5: Have you had enough?

Because there’s more.

[Music]

ANNOUNCER: Watch the Amazon original series, “Hunters”.

New series, watch now.

Only on Amazon Prime Video.

KIM: So, in case there's any doubt, it's all happening at the same spot.

His change, almost to the foot, happened where it happened with Grief and Breeze.

The change was clear, and it was exact. If you want to go back through it and spend a little more
time and see what happens...

PAULINE: Yeah.

KIM: ..we already have what we want, what we need.

RIDGEN: I ask Pauline what she noticed.

What did you notice back there?

PAULINE: Well, a lot of sniffing. Something having his attention down towards the water. And he's
more concentrated in the area, instead of just passing-- passing on.

RIDGEN: It was obvious, yeah, very obvious.

KIM: And both Breeze and Grief got on one rock, the same rock, and stood facing straight out into
the water.

RIDGEN: It's pretty hardcore.

It is hardcore, and now we're certainly less hesitant in our excitement. Then Quinn actually barks
at Pauline when she isn't looking at him.

[Quinn barks]

RIDGEN: In other words, clearly a voluntary bark, something the dogs do when indicating.

[Quinn barks]

RIDGEN: Tell me about the indication and what happened here.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 10/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

PAULINE: He narrowed it down to one spot. Then he came back, alerting.

RIDGEN: And that's a bark?

PAULINE: Yeah, he-- yeah, he-- he barked.

KIM: He thinks there's something there. It just makes sense so much sense to me. It doesn't make
sense finding it 43 years later, but the storyline, you know, was last seen 100 metres away. He's
five years old? This-- he went in the water.

PAULINE: Yeah.

KIM: But, I mean, it doesn't look like a deep lake. And it should warm up really quite nicely in the
summertime, which means it should turn over and...things should come up. So, parts of it make a
lot of sense. It's a very simple explanation for what happened. But the science of it is very
questionable.

RIDGEN: The science of human bodies in water is that over time, natural decay leads to the
production of gas, which lifts the body to the surface. After rising, the body can then drift, but
often releases the gas and then sinks to the bottom for good. If Adrien did fall into the lake, was
his body too small to generate enough gas to rise to the top? And if he did surface, would it have
been during the time of the search? A shallow lake like this one might make surfacing more likely.
Just more unknowns to add to our day.

KIM: That's the same rock.

PAULINE: Yeah.

KIM: That's the rock where the other two stood, standing there. Breeze indicated there. Grief
didn't indicate, but he hooked into there three times.

PAULINE: Hm, so...

KIM: Yeah, but something's happening here. Something's happening here. We don't know exactly
what.

[Quinn barking]

RIDGEN: When we're talking about this area, are the dogs-- are they indicating because of a
scent?

KIM: All that they are telling us is that they are detecting an odour here. Where would it be
coming, well, it's coming on the wind. That's-- that's all we know, is the odour right there, is it 50
feet out, is it across the lake? We don't know, this is as far as they can go without swimming. So,
they say, at this spot there is enough odour present for me to say that you're probably interested

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 11/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

in this. And we worked in some scenarios where someone's been buried for-- for weeks, and-- and
sometimes the dogs indicate a hundred metres away from where the person's actually buried,
but they're adamant that this is where the odour is. So, where the odour is, and where the person
are, are sometimes not the same place.

RIDGEN: I wonder what's going on here. It's so enticing, and interesting, and intriguing.

KIM: Yeah. You certainly hope it's going to lead to something. I mean, like you say, something's
going on here.

[Quinn's bell ringing]

RIDGEN: It's all fascinating, and kind of chilling somehow. Each of the three dogs stood on exactly
the same rock, looked in the same direction, and gave a quietly dramatic sniffing pause.

Two of the dogs taste-smelled the water.

KIM: It's interesting, at the same time I'd say it's far from definitive, and far from clear as to what's
happening. But then again, we've never worked a 43-year-old case before.

PAULINE: Yeah.

KIM: So, we've got no frame of reference.

RIDGEN: What do I tell the family? Are the dogs accurate? Are there bones here? Are they Adrien's
bones? We don't know until we find them. If we do. But I will eventually have to tell them
something.

[Music]

RIDGEN: Cut ahead another week, and I'm back at Holmes Lake again with yet another cadaver
dog named Zappa, and Zappa's handler, Susan Reid, who's driven here from Lindsay, Ontario.

SUSAN: I am with the Georgian Bay Search and Rescue, but I live just outside of Lindsay.

RIDGEN: Susan's a schoolteacher most of the time, but like Kim Cooper, is passionate about
search and rescue.

SUSAN: It consumes your whole life. If you're not training, then you're training.

RIDGEN: With Susan and Zappa here now, I'll have had access to the best trained amateur
cadaver dogs and handlers in Ontario.

Susan, tell me about your dog, Zappa.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 12/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

SUSAN: Zappa is two-and-a-half years old, soon to be three, Malinois, male. He is a goof, but he is
high drive, good focus. Not as intense as I'd like him to be, but he knows how to turn it on when
it's-- when it's time to work.

RIDGEN: We strike out on the same path as Adrien and his family, and 43 years later, the three
cadaver dogs have indicated further up the lake. Sue has no idea where we were and has never
been to the lake before. Zappa is the fourth cadaver dog.

SUSAN: If I had to wager a guess, I would say this must be where the other dogs hit.

RIDGEN: Totally.

SUSAN: Yeah.

RIDGEN: Exactly where they hit.

SUSAN: Yeah.

RIDGEN: I noticed Zappa on his hind legs, pawing at tree trunks and smelling upwards.

SUSAN: So now you can see he's climbing the trees here, and that's where he was getting the
strongest. Now, he's certainly not indicating, he's just alerting to me. If there’s something blowing
off the water, it could get all caught up here.

RIDGEN: Apparently, trees can act like catcher's nets, collecting molecules of scent that may be
coming off the water. As Zappa moves along, he takes a keen interest in the shoreline area
adjacent to the indication spot. The other dogs also showed interest in this area, but Zappa is
extra interested. He crawls out onto a log that overhangs the water and smells outward. All the
dogs have shown a frustration, as if they're not quite able to figure out the source of the scent
ahead of them. In all cases, out towards the water.

SUSAN: Well, he certainly had a change in body language up at that first spot that I said you could
see an interest. But this one, absolutely, he would like to have investigated it more. To me, the fact
that he crawled out onto that...that downed log tells me something. Good stuff. Good stuff, my
boy. Be tough to get a boat out in that, wouldn't it? Well, I should've brought my dive gear.

RIDGEN: You have dive gear too?

SUSAN: I do. Wouldn't it be cool if you could do it with the dogs?

RIDGEN: Sounds great, yeah.

SUSAN: How deep is this water?

RIDGEN: I think 30 feet.

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks/sks-transcripts/transcript-someone-knows-something-season-1-ep-6-1.5546208 13/17
7/25/2020 TRANSCRIPT: Someone Knows Something - Season 1, EP 6 | CBC Radio

RIDGEN: So, four cadaver dogs have now made intriguing indications at the same spot and
shoreline area. I need to find some divers with experience in this kind of thing. But most
importantly, I need to tell the family.

SUSAN: That's the thing that kind of gives you goosebumps. We're not just talking one dog. We're
not talking two dogs. Every single dog went into that scenario, and none of them knew what the
previous dog had done. So, for all four dogs to hit on that one shoreline...to me, is-- is quite
significant. This is what draws...people like Kim, and Pauline, and myself to doing cadaver work. It--
it's families such as this, they deserve closure. And after 43 years, this poor family deserves to be
able to put their little boy to rest.

RIDGEN: And let's hope they can do that.

It's a cold night in Arnprior, and the McNaughton family is gathered in front of me on their
couches, and Barb's in her motorized chair. They know something different is coming, and as I
start to speak about the four cadaver dogs, and the interest in a dive, they draw closer together,
and to me. Sitting forward in silence with their mouths open. I try to tune the message to be as
accurate but understated as possible.

All it means is that we want to just do some more checking. There's nothing confirmed. We don't
know. There are very few cases where we have, like, reports of dogs finding bones underwater.
But there are publications. A huge percentage of finds are on land, far fewer proven on water. So,
this, if there is any findings, whether these are Adrien's remains or not, or if there anything, would
be precedent setting. So, it's-- that's how little the chances are. But I do think it-- I think it's
significant enough that we should look with the divers.

VOICE 1: For sure.

VOICE 2: Oh, yeah.

VOICE 3: Should be checked out.

VOICE 1: Definitely.

VOICE 4: If we find Adrien alive, that's great. If we find that he's not...we finally got closure. Then
when anybody asks me about it, I'm okay with that. But until there is something definitive, I don't
want to be asked everyday what's going on.

VOICE 1: Nope.
