The Murder of Angie Dodge: False Confessions and Investigation Errors

Chris Tapp, a part of the River Kids group in Idaho Falls, was wrongly convicted of the rape and murder of Angie Dodge due to a false confession. Tapp's confession was coerced by police, who pressured him to comply with their version of events, leading to his arrest. The investigation also focused on two other suspects, Ben Hobbs and a mysterious third man, with DNA evidence pointing to a single perpetrator, disputing the initial multiple attackers theory. Carol Dodge, Angie's mother, spearheaded efforts to prove Tapp's innocence, enlisting the help of experts in false confessions and the National Innocence Project.
