The Angie Dodge case, involving the 1996 rape and murder of 18-year-old Angie in Idaho Falls, initially led to the wrongful conviction of Christopher Tapp, who was coerced into confessing. After spending 20 years in prison, Tapp was exonerated in 2019, thanks to DNA evidence and genealogical testing that identified Brian Dripps as the real perpetrator. Dripps confessed and was sentenced to life in prison. Angie’s mother, Carol Dodge, played a key role in pushing for justice, and the case has become a landmark in DNA use and wrongful conviction awareness
