True Crime Tuesday | Wrongfully Convicted, Exonerated and Then Murdered: The Unsolved Case of Christopher Tapp

For 20 long years, Christopher languished in prison, a victim of a flawed justice system. It wasn’t until the Idaho Innocence Project used a groundbreaking technique called genetic genealogy that the truth began to surface. This new DNA technology, which matches DNA samples with distant relatives, pointed to a different suspect altogether—Brian Dripps.

Dripps, who lived across the street from Angie at the time of her murder, was eventually found guilty of the crime. However, the damage had already been done. Christopher Tapp was released in 2017, but his life had been irrevocably altered. He filed a lawsuit seeking damages from the city of Idaho Falls, but the emotional and psychological scars remained.

In a tragic twist, Christopher Tapp was found dead in his Las Vegas hotel room in September 2023, just after giving an exclusive interview to Dateline. His death was ruled a homicide, adding another layer of mystery and heartbreak to an already devastating story.

This episode is not just about a wrongful conviction; it’s about the human cost of a broken system. It’s about the lives shattered, the years lost, and the quest for justice that continues even after the truth is revealed.

Join us as we explore this compelling case, discuss the advancements in DNA technology that exonerated Tapp, and question how such a miscarriage of justice could occur. Listen now and share your thoughts on this tragic tale. Your voice matters in the ongoing fight for justice and reform.
