Christopher Tapp

How did you get in?

And just like that, the murder of Angie Dodge was solved.

But there was one more big task for Brian Dripps, to convince detectives that the other man who confessed to the crime and still had a conviction on his record, that is Chris Tapp, was truly innocent.

Before detectives were finished interrogating now-confessed killer Brian Dripps, they had to put one huge issue to rest.

Did Dripps commit the crime alone?

Or was someone else, say, Christopher Tapp?

No.

Dripps stood firm.

The answers seemed clear.

So?

Frankly, I was a bit surprised.

Really, I believe that we were going to find out that he had some relationship with Chris Tapp.

Did you realize that whole time that they still thought you were a guilty man?

It must have been a nerve-wracking experience to start watching this guy not knowing what he was going to say exactly.

And just like that, the long black cloud of suspicion that had hung over Christopher Tapp and his River Kid friends for all those years vanished.

And life was suddenly like sun after rain.

Chris called me.

But that was for another day.

Idaho Falls Police Chief Bryce Johnson made the announcement, along with the woman without whom the crime might never have been solved, Angie's mother, Carol Dodge.

I can't even express how hard this journey has been and the hundreds of people that's been affected by one person's choice to take my daughter's life.
