Summary

In 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was raped and murdered in her Idaho Falls apartment. Police quickly arrested Christopher Tapp, who confessed after hours of coercive interrogation—but the evidence didn't match. Tapp spent 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, while Angie's mother Carol Dodge fought tirelessly to prove his innocence and find her daughter's real killer. Through DNA testing and relentless advocacy, Carol helped exonerate Tapp in 2019 and identify the actual murderer, Brian Dripps. This heartbreaking case shows the power of a mother's love and the importance of never giving up on justice. A daughter murdered. A man wrongfully convicted. A mother who never stopped fighting.

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

0:22.5

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

0:36.8

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

0:40.2

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

0:45.4

ton of information I can find on Idaho Falls. As of 2016, there were around 60,000 residents in Idaho Falls,

0:53.0

Idaho. And this is from a Wikipedia entry, so some 13-year-old could have written it, but it made me laugh.

0:59.2

Idaho Falls was originally named Eagle Rock, but in 1891, after a huge drop in population, in an effort to attract farmers, the name was actually changed to Idaho Falls as farmers were worried about both

1:11.5

Eagles and Rocks. Oh. So it makes sense, but, oh, I guess if you put those two together and

1:18.1

you're a farmer, that would kind of stink. Like somebody's going to eat your food and, oh,

1:21.4

also there's nowhere to plant anything because of all these rocks. So this is an Idaho fun fact.

1:26.0

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

1:29.2

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

1:35.1

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

1:41.3

confectionery goodness.

1:48.5

So that's all the really facts I found for we Googled this city.

1:49.7

We need an outro.

1:50.5

There isn't one.

1:51.5

So just pretend.

1:52.7

Play music in your head.

1:53.3

We'll keep going.

1:54.0

All right.

So Angie Dobb was born on December 21, 1977 in Vancouver, Washington.
