A new true-crime series asks: did police imprison the wrong man?
This preview introduces “The Snare,” an upcoming 20/20 and ABC Audio series about the 1996 murder of 18-year-old Angie Dodge in Idaho Falls. Based on the show notes, the series will examine the case, the suspect police jailed, and the question of whether they got the right person.
## Should you queue this up? This is a **preview based only on the published show notes**, not a recap of the audio itself. From that description, "The Snare" looks like a serialized true-crime investigation centered on a single, high-stakes question: after Angie Dodge was found murdered in her Idaho Falls home in 1996, did police convict the right man? If you’re drawn to long-form crime stories that revisit a case through the lens of doubt, justice, and investigative scrutiny, this setup is likely to appeal. The notes frame the series around both the brutality of the crime and the uncertainty surrounding the suspect who was put behind bars, suggesting a focus on how the case unfolded and why it remains contested. It may be a good fit for listeners who like weekly narrative releases rather than one-off episodes. According to the notes, episodes will drop **Wednesdays beginning June 17** in the **20/20 podcast feed**, with early access available by following **"The Snare"** on major podcast platforms. What you can expect from this preview is a clear invitation into the premise rather than detailed reporting or conclusions. If the central question alone is enough to hook you, this sounds like the kind of series to follow from the start.
