Kyle's name comes up a lot through our investigation. And until now, he's felt like a bit of a ghost. No one seems to know much about him. But this former employee had regular interactions with Kyle.

Some DNA samples, allegedly going straight into the bin, as he calls it. The garbage. People's questions about paternity, their very futures, treated like trash.

There's no way for him to know how many prenatal paternity samples were tossed. Still, it's a damning allegation. But why throw those samples out? Why not just do the test? When I put this to the former employee, he points to the questions in the employee script, those leading questions that Sam and Sika were told to ask customers.

He's saying it all came down to money. But Kyle was only the second in command. The buck stopped with Harvey.

That might be true, but I'm not going dumpster diving to check, because we've learned something else. At this point in our investigation, we've spent a lot of time digging into the science behind prenatal paternity tests, how matches are made and why false positives are so rare. Experts have also told us that sample collection is best done in a lab setting to avoid cross-contamination.

But this is not how Accumetrix did most of its testing. The main way the company collected the mother's blood sample was through the Finger Prick Home Kit, the one Coral Mayer used to collect her sample in her messy bathroom. And I still had questions about it.

So we've come to Mohamed Akbari's lab. He's the director of the molecular genetics research lab at Women's College Hospital in Toronto. And Akbari says you need at least one vial, 10 milliliters or two generous teaspoons. And what's even better is two vials, four generous teaspoons drawn from a vein in a lab. We've confirmed that's the industry standard.

So can you even do this at home on your finger? Of course not.
