On a cold winter night in 1997, police in Idaho Falls brought a young man named Chris Tapp to the station to answer questions about a murder. He shifted in his chair, propping a baseball cap on his knee, confused about why detectives wanted to talk to him. "I'll try to do everything I can," he said. "But I really don't know that much." The detective didn't believe him. He warned Chris that if he was lying, "the shape of the hands are gonna try roll a little bit" and his "appearance is probably on the chopping block." Chris thought he was there to help. He volunteered to take a lie detector test. That decision would set him and others on a dark path they could never have predicted.
