In the bluish swing district of NV-3 in 2020, Susie Lee defeated Dan Rodimer by 3 points. That’s probably a good thing since four years later, Rodimer is now charged with murder.
A former congressional candidate and pro wrestler is wanted in connection with the Las Vegas Strip killing last year of an Idaho man who spent two decades in prison after he was wrongfully convicted.
An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for Daniel Rodimer, 45, in connection with the November death of Christopher Tapp, 47, the Metropolitan Police Department announced Wednesday.
Tapp, whose legal ordeal made headlines as it progressed from his initial arrest to his release, was convicted of rape and murder after the 1996 death of 18-year-old Angie Dodge. He spent 21 years behind bars before his release in 2017 and exoneration in 2019.
Rodimer, a Republican who was endorsed by then-President Donald Trump in 2020, lost his bid for Nevada’s 3rd District that year. In 2021, Rodimer then announced another congressional run, this time in a special election in Texas’ 6th District. He also lost that race.
According to Metro and an autopsy report released by Clark County coroner’s office, Tapp died from the effects of blunt force trauma to the head after a “physical altercation” Oct. 29 at Resorts World.
