Chris Tapp: Exoneration and Tragic Death Following the Angie Dodge Murder Case

Back in 1996, the community of Idaho Falls was shaken by the brutal murder of 18-year-old Angie Dodge. Under immense pressure to solve the case, police focused on 20-year-old Chris Tapp. After more than 30 hours of intense interrogation, Chris was coerced into giving a false confession, despite his DNA not matching the evidence found at the crime scene. His alibi, confirmed by multiple witnesses, was ignored, and he was ultimately convicted of first-degree murder, rape, and use of a deadly weapon. Chris spent the next 20 years in prison fighting for his innocence.
