Christopher Tapp

Is it possible, at least, that there was some suggestion involved in these things before he actually said them?

That he heard in the questions he was being asked some hint of what the answer might be.

For two guys who interviewed this person and found that in the first interview, the second interview, the third interview, the fourth interview, the fifth interview, he lied like a sidewalk.

Then you finally get to the seventh interview, and that's the gospel truth.

Interesting.

Many times as the interviews progressed, Chris Tapp claimed to know nothing about the clothes Angie Dodge was wearing.

But some details in the interview could be interpreted to back up claims by the police.

Once, for example, before Tapp was shown the crime scene photos, he did seem to, in a guessing kind of way, know what Angie was wearing.

And although he's wrong about the color of her clothes, after being asked many times if her clothes were half on or half off or pulled up or pushed down, he does correctly say this about her pants.

Also, said the detectives, Chris talked about Ben Hobbs hitting Angie behind the ear and... We have the evidence to back it.

So detectives insisted they were right.

Ben Hobbs was the ringleader, Chris Tapp was involved, and an unknown third man left the DNA in the form of semen.

But as we talked to the mayor and the detective, we knew, and they knew, that the victim's mother, Carol Dodge, believed Tapp was innocent, and they, detectives, had made a terrible mistake.

What's it like to know that Carol is now actively...

campaigning for his release.

Believes in innocent men.

I think that's part of the process.

Hello there.

Anyway, perhaps this, we decided, would be a good time to talk to the man in the middle of it all, the serial confessor Christopher Tapp.

Have a seat.
