IDAHO FALLS — In what was his last evening behind bars, Christopher Tapp spoke exclusively with EastIdahoNews.com on March 21 – just hours before he walked to freedom.
In the interview from the Bonneville County Jail, Tapp told EastIdahoNews.com reporter Stephan Rockefeller what was going through his mind and his emotions about his pending release.
When he was released, Tapp’s murder conviction stood, but he no longer has a rape conviction on his record.
“I’m innocent, and I’m going to continue to raise that flag. I’ll do as much as I can to prove my innocence,” Tapp said in the interview. “As the years go on, I’ll continue to hold a banner up for Carol (Angie Dodge’s mother) and Angie. I don’t want the city of Idaho Falls or anyone to stop looking for the true killer.”
