S1 Episode 2: Mr Ring

In June 1972, the news reports coming out of the Ottawa Valley went something like this:

A five-year-old boy named Adrien McNaughton was out fishing with his father and siblings, when he wandered off into the woods and was never seen again.

But there's an important piece of information that wasn't present in those initial articles, or in any of the subsequent reports about the case.

The McNaughton's weren't the only people on the lake that day.

Danny Ring, or Donnie as he's more commonly known, was also fishing with the family that day.

And yet, he's never been interviewed by the media.

Ring is still living in the area, and in episode two of SKS, host David Ridgen tracks him down at his home in the backwoods of Eastern Ontario, not far from where Adrien was last seen.
