A small-town doctor drugs a patient and rapes her on Halloween night. The DNA comes back negative. He walks free. He does it again. And again. Then investigators discover he surgically implanted a tube of someone else's blood in his arm to cheat the tests.

In 1992, Dr. John Schneeberger sedated 23-year-old Candice Foley in his Kipling, Saskatchewan clinic and sexually assaulted her [citation:6]. The drug Versed left her partially conscious. She remembered everything. She reported the crime. But DNA tests cleared him. He had fooled science itself.

Schneeberger had made a small incision on the inside of his left arm and inserted a 15-centimeter Penrose drain filled with another man's blood mixed with anticoagulants [citation:6]. He directed technicians to draw from that exact spot. The tests matched the donor, not the doctor.

In 1997, his wife Lisa discovered he had also been drugging and raping her 15-year-old daughter from a previous marriage [citation:6]. She went to police. This time, authorities took multiple samples: blood, mouth swab, and hair follicle. All three matched. The tube could not fool a hair test.

Convicted in 1999 and sentenced to six years, Schneeberger lost his medical license, his wife, and his Canadian citizenship [citation:1]. He was deported to South Africa in 2004. He later applied to practice medicine there. His application was withdrawn after public outcry.

Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the trusted family doctor was a monster in a white coat.
