MURDERED: Angie Dodge, Revisited
In conjunction with our new episode on Chris Tapp’s tragic death, we’re re-releasing our original episode about Angie Dodge’s heartbreaking murder. In this episode, we dive into the details of Angie’s unsolved murder in Idaho and the tireless fight her mother, Carol Dodge, waged for justice—not only for Angie but also for Chris Tapp, who was wrongfully convicted of her death. This is the first part of the story, and we encourage you to listen to both episodes as we follow the twists and turns that eventually led to Chris’s exoneration and, tragically, his untimely death. Both episodes are essential to understanding this complex case and the ongoing search for justice.

MURDERED: Chris Tapp
After serving 20 years for a crime he didn’t commit, Chris Tapp was exonerated in the murder of Angie Dodge and began rebuilding his life, becoming an advocate for the wrongfully convicted. But in 2023, Chris was found unconscious at a party in Las Vegas and later died from his injuries. In this follow-up to our original Angie Dodge episode, which we re-released today, we dive into Chris’s tragic final chapter, the bizarre and violent events leading up to his death, and the former pro wrestler-turned-congressional candidate now charged with his murder. The case is still unfolding, and the search for justice continues. Thank you to this week’s sponsors! Give your summer closet an upgrade—with Quince.
