It was tough, too, for Angie's friends, those who hung around down by the Snake River.

Like Jeremy Sargis, known as Jer.

She was definitely a part of the girls that came down to the river every day or, you know, multiple times a week at least.

And at that point, I think she was getting comfortable with herself.

Among those river kids, Angie Dodge was a force, smart, fun-loving, respected by her friends.

Angie graduated high school early, at 17, with honors, and then turned 18 and started college and had a new job at a beauty salon.

She was a good friend to people.

Tessidy Osborne was a friend.

Russ Baldwin was also a river regular.

She had a big, bright, beautiful character.

You just knew who she was.

As was George Poggies.

It was wild that somebody we knew had been murdered.

Police were a constant presence at the river in those first days and weeks after the murder.

Jer was terrified.

For months, it seemed, police got nowhere, which drove Carol Dodge even more mad.

Everybody went on with their lives except me.

I drove to the police department every day that they were open.

You became a fixture in there.

I did.
