Freeform's new true crime series, "Somebody Knows Something," takes a deep dive into unsolved mysteries.

"I think every single episode, someone organically that we were talking to would say, 'And somebody knows something about what happened.'"

Former law enforcement officer Kara Chamberlain tells On The Red Carpet she's more than just the show's host.

"(I am also) the person who's moving the stories along, both as an investigator, as a trained victim's advocate, as a survivor myself. Talking with law enforcement, with families, with survivors to tell the stories of some cold cases that have been really well covered and well known," she said. Chamberlain also hopes "by amplifying these stories," audiences will get "emotionally invested."

The stories in "Somebody Knows Something" have a couple aspects in common, according to Chamberlain. "There is a very good potential that they could be solved. They're just missing a little something. And, or there's new information or new evidence that is being analyzed or released by law enforcement."

"Somebody Knows Something" airs Mondays at 9/8c on Freeform and will stream the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
