The Good Doctor
One of only two doctors serving the remote community of Kipling, Saskatchewan, Dr. John Schneeberger was highly regarded by his patients -- until one of them charged him with drugging and raping her.

Asserting his innocence, Schneeberger (seen above) submitted to two blood tests, and both times, his DNA did not match the sperm found in the alleged victim. Undaunted by the doctor's subsequent acquittal, his accuser hired a private detective. The investigator obained additional DNA samples from Dr. Schneeberger, via a stolen chapstick and a licked envelope. The DNA isolated from these items matched the sperm.

In a separate action, Schneeberger's wife accused him of raping her daughter (his stepdaughter). Police took new samples and matched DNA from Schneeberger's hair, saliva and blood (collected from a finger) with the sperm from his former patient. It was discovered that in order to avoid detection, Schneeberger had surgically inserted a plastic tube (demonstrated above right), filled with another patient's blood, into his left arm. When the lab technician drew blood from Schneedberger's arm, the blood was actually coming from the inserted tube.
