🎙️ A Mom Spent 23 Years Doing What Police Couldn't. She Found Her Daughter's Killer In this episode: In June 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was found murdered in her Idaho Falls apartment — just three weeks after moving in on her own. Her mother Carol had rocked her in her arms the night before and said goodbye. Police zeroed in on Chris Tapp, a 20-year-old with no DNA match to the crime scene, and after 28 hours of interrogation over 23 days, extracted a confession experts would later call the worst case of police fact-feeding they had ever seen. Tapp spent 20 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. The real killer — Brian Dripps — lived directly across the street from Angie the entire time. It took a grieving mother, a DNA expert, and 23 years of fighting to finally put the right man behind bars. #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #CrimeStory #AngieDodge #AngieDodgeStory #Convicted #TrueStory #IWishYouWereHerePod #UnsolvedMystery #TrueCrimeStoryteller 🎧 Listen to the Podcast Apple Podcasts:I Wish You Were Here on Apple Podcast Spotify:I Wish You Were Here on Spotify All Platforms: https://hoo.be/mshellllly 🤝 This Episode Is Sponsored By COZY EARTH Go to COZYEARTH.COM/WISH for 20% off! 🔗 Link: http://COZYEARTH.COM/WISH 🌐 Follow Me TikTok: TikTok Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mshellllly/ YouTube: I Wish You Were Here on YouTube 🖤 Disclaimer This episode discusses real events involving real people.
