Hey guys, Melissa here. We're releasing our 2018 episode on Angie Dodge's tragic murder, but we've also got something new out there for you today. Along with this episode, we're releasing a brand new episode on Chris Tap, who was originally convicted of Angie's murder, but later exonerated and then murdered himself. And these two episodes go hand in hand. So be sure to listen to both to get the

full story behind the heartbreaking case and the journey of justice. So this story unfolds in Idaho

Falls, Idaho, and Melissa has Googled this city for us.

Look, it's a statement now. It's not a question. Did you? It's, you did. Yeah. So there's not actually a

Like I said, there was just not a whole lot on Idaho Falls.

And this one sort of broke my heart. In Idaho, law forbids a citizen to give another citizen a box

of candy that weighs more than 50 pounds. Oh, that's a terrible law. Keep your hands out of my

confectionary goodness. So that's all the really facts I found for

we Googled this city. We need an outro. There isn't one. So just pretend play music in your head.

We'll keep going. All right. So Angie Dobb was born on December 21, 1977 in Vancouver, Washington.

She was the youngest of four children to her parents, Jack and Carol,

and she was their only daughter. Her brothers recall her birth as a big event in the family.

I remember them saying, like, their dad was like running and they were just so excited they

have this sister in their family, this little girl. Early in life, her parents and teachers

recognized her remarkable intelligence, and by high school,

she was tutoring younger children in both math and English. She graduated high school in 1995 with honors and briefly attended Idaho State University. Angie was a lover of the outdoors and enjoyed
