    The Snare

    Six months after the 1996 murder of Angie Dodge, Idaho Falls police homed in on a suspect, who later implicated his friend in the crime. After a sham polygraph and 100 hours of intense questioning, Christopher Tapp confessed to his involvement in the killing, despite the lack of evidence implicating him. After Tapp’s conviction, Angie’s mother remained fixated on DNA at the scene pointing to an unknown suspect. When Carol Dodge sifted through all the evidence in her daughter’s case, she was convinced the wrong man was in prison. It would take years of persistence and a discarded cigarette butt to bring justice for everyone affected. In “The Snare” from ABC Audio and 20/20, host Maggie Rulli recounts the wrongful conviction of Christopher Tapp and the efforts by Carol Dodge to find out who really killed her daughter. Using material from the TV news magazine, the podcast takes listeners into the interrogation room where the false confession happened, and into the undercover sting to snare a new suspect in Angie’s death.  OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE SNARE" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.   For exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at Patreon.

Not long after she filed for divorce, Mica Miller’s body was found in a state park. Her death raised questions whether the church leader had driven his estranged wife to die by suicide - or whether he played a more active role.The Netflix documentary series “Death of the Pastor’s Wife” covers the case of Mica Miller, exploring how her husband used religion, sex, and intimidation to control and manipulate her.

    We Keep Us Safe

    In 2020, 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. traveled to Seattle’s Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone, a several block encampment that demonstrators declared to be a police-free area. But one night, Mays was shot to death in a stolen Jeep while protestors and journalists livestreamed the aftermath. Protestors said the group’s internal security forces shot in self-defense, while video shows someone approaching the stopped Jeep and firing at close range. The conflicting narratives have muddied the truth about that night, and Mays’s shooter remains unidentified. From NPR’s “Embedded,” KUOW, and The Seattle Times comes the podcast “We Keep Us Safe.” A team of reporters sifts through the video and re-interview witnesses to explore why a teen was killed and another left with brain damage. The team uncovers new evidence, identifies potential suspects in the shooting of Antonio Mays Jr, and asks why justice at a justice-reform demonstration remains elusive.
