Failed GOP Candidate Indicted In Vegas Murder Case

Daniel Rodimer, 45, is expected to appear before a Nevada judge May 8 following his indictment Friday in the death of Christopher Tapp. Tapp, 47, of Idaho Falls, was injured Oct. 29 at the Resorts World hotel and taken to a hospital, where he died several days later, police said. He had served more than 20 years in prison in Idaho in a 1996 killing before receiving an $11.7 million settlement from Idaho Falls in 2022 in a wrongful conviction lawsuit. Investigators initially suspected Tapp had been fatally injured in a fall, but they later learned that he had been in an argument with Rodimer. Rodimer maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court. Daniel Rodimer, Christopher Tapp, Resorts World Hotel
