Episode 8: The Doctor Who Faked His DNA | The Shocking Case of Dr. John Schneeberger

Jun 23, 2026

When a young mother walked into a hospital seeking help after a fight with her boyfriend, she never imagined she would spend the next seven years fighting to prove the truth.

n 1992, "Candy" accused her trusted physician, Dr. John Schneeberger, of drugging and sexually assaulting her during a medical exam. Despite physical evidence, DNA testing repeatedly cleared the doctor, leaving Candy isolated, disbelieved, and branded a liar by her community. But she refused to give up.


What followed became one of the most shocking cases in true crime history—a story of perseverance, corruption, manipulation, and a doctor who went to extraordinary lengths to evade justice.


This week, we examine the unbelievable case of Dr. John Schneeberger, the survivor who never stopped fighting, and the DNA deception that stunned the world.
