In 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was brutally murdered inside her Idaho Falls apartment. Despite DNA evidence that didn't match, Christopher Tapp was convicted and spent 21 years behind bars while the real killer remained free.

In this episode, we explore Angie's tragic murder, the wrongful conviction of Christopher Tapp, and the groundbreaking genetic genealogy that finally revealed the truth more than two decades later.
