Angie Dodge was raped and murdered by Brian Dripps in 1996. The location of the murder? Her bedroom in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The cause of death? Stabbing (and near decapitation). But Brian Dripps wasn't arrested until 2019 -- 23 years after the crime occurred. Another man, Chris Tapp (completely unrelated to the crime) was wrongfully convicted and served 20 years in prison until he was finally exonerated due to advances in DNA testing. Dripps has been interviewed by Dateline, 48 hours, and 20/20, but claims that due to editing, he was never able to tell his true story. Until now, that is. Join PenPals.Buzz founder Big Steve as he interviews Brian Dripps about the Angie Dodge murder and his feelings during the 20+ years that the wrong man (Tapp) was incarcerated for the crime. Was Dripps afraid, each and every day of his "freedom," that the truth would finally come out? Did he panic every time he saw a police car between 1996 and 2019? How did his kids feel when they found out that their dad committed this horrible crime so many years ago? Do they still visit him today? You won't want to miss the bizarre and tragic twists and turns that happened after Tapp was exonerated. The interview also brings up a compelling question: is it possible that someone who committed a murder could essentially black out and forget that they killed someone? We think it's highly unlikely, but certain research shows it could theoretically be possible. Share your thoughts here.
