Bad Blood (Literally): The Case of Dr. John Schneeberger

In 1992, a respected small-town physician was accused of sexually assaulting one of his patients during a routine appointment. The allegation shocked the tight-knit Canadian community — but what happened next was even more unbelievable. Despite a DNA test meant to settle the case once and for all, the results seemed to clear the doctor. The charges were dropped. Life moved on. But the victim never stopped fighting. Years later, new evidence surfaced that would unravel one of the most audacious deceptions in true crime history — exposing a calculated plan that fooled investigators, prosecutors, and even medical professionals. In this episode, we unpack the disturbing case of Dr. John Schneeberger: a story of power, manipulation, and a scheme so brazen it sounds like fiction — until you realize it wasn’t.   References: Rapist, M.D. Crime Magazine Candice Fonagy Archives - Forensic Files Now Dr. Schneeberger Case Study - Edubirdie Deport doctor, his ex-wife says - The Globe and Mail Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v.
