KTVB - Looking at DNA Technology

The M-Vac™ was used to collect DNA material from items in the Angie Dodge murder case.  It found DNA on both her clothing and a stuffed animal that matched a stain that had also been found at the crime scene.  However, the DNA did not match Chris Tapp's DNA, who had been convicted 20 years earlier.  He was resentenced in a plea deal and released from prison.  The news story is of Chris Tapp being introduced to the M-Vac™ and shown how it works. Dr. Greg Hampikian of the Idaho Innocence project also comments on the M-Vac™'s role.
