Christopher Tapp

Next, she watched the police interview Jeremy Sargis, whom Chris Tapp had implicated.

I mean, literally, I said, what is going on here?

Their strategy was that they were trying to get each one of these guys to roll on the other one.

And Ben and Jeremy were much smarter and just basically, you know, didn't play their game.

What she saw amazed her, as did what she learned, that the man interrogating Chris Tapp, then Detective Jared Furman, had been a school resource officer well-known to a young Chris Tapp.

Furman kept telling Chris, just trust me, Chris.

You've got to trust me.

You know, we go way back, Chris.

And I think that he was taught to respect adults, and he was a follower.

She watched as Chris told Furham that he knew nothing about Angie's murder.

And then she watched the detectives get tapped to imagine himself as an active participant.

Okay.

Hypothetically, Chris, how do you think it happened?

And I remember Chris saying, you mean like a TV show?

Next, she saw police administering polygraph after polygraph and almost always with the same result.

They would tell him he was deceptive.

But perhaps what troubled Carol most was seeing how confused Tapp was.

Even ten days after his first interviews, he still seemed not to know what house Angie lived in.

For a guy who'd taken part in a murder, Tapp also seemed not to know much about the layout of Angie's apartment.

So Detective Brown suggested this helpful memory aid.
