A Doctor's Blood
On Halloween night 1992 in tiny Kipling, Saskatchewan, a distraught young mother sought help from the town's beloved Dr. John Schneeberger — and what she remembered from that examination room would pit her word against his DNA.
The Dinner Theater Murder
Hoping to rekindle a stagnant marriage, Steven Hricko booked a Valentine's weekend at a Maryland resort featuring a murder-mystery dinner theater show. His wife Kimberly — a surgical technologist whose job included disposing of unused drugs — was suddenly, surprisingly affectionate.
The Suitcase Killer
Bill McGuire vanished after a heated argument with his wife Melanie, a New Jersey fertility-clinic nurse, in April 2004. Then three suitcases surfaced in the Chesapeake Bay — each holding part of a grim answer.
A Shot in the Dark
Nurse Janice Trahan fell for Dr. Richard Schmidt, a married Lafayette gastroenterologist who promised to leave his wife. What happened when she finally tried to end the affair would become one of the strangest medical cases in Louisiana history.
The Bargain Basement
Dr. Anthony Pignataro cruised Buffalo in a red Lamborghini selling cut-rate cosmetic surgery. In his makeshift basement operating room, paramedics found patient Sarah Smith dying — and the doctor holding a bent coat hanger.
Room 214
In Room 214 of Morton Hospital in Taunton, Massachusetts, cancer patient Norma Leanues screamed in agony that no medication could touch — and what happened next would put nurse Anne Capute at the center of a case that divided a city.
