The Mysterious Death of Tamla Horsford

Listen to this episode from Morbid on Spotify. Well, we have another mishandled case for you weirdos. The 2018 death of Tamla Horsford is tragic but it is also wildly suspicious. This 40 year old, mother of 5 was found face down in a back yard after attending an adult sleepover. Her injuries were varied and seemingly unexplainable for a fall from a second floor balcony. What makes this worse is the fact that this took place in Forsyth County, Georgia, a place with a documented history of racial prejudice. The case was quickly closed and called an accident despite several pieces of evidence pointing to something more sinister. Now, in 2020, Tamla's case has been officially reopened and what happened on that evening in November 2018 may finally come to light. 1912 "Racial Cleansing" of Forsyth County MORE LINKS: https://sandrarose.com/2019/02/tamla-horsfords-autopsy-shows-she-suffered-broken-neck-traumatic-brain-injuries/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1460408616659683 https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/mynews/cumming/the-attorney-representing-the-family-of-tamla-horsford-says-the-evidence-suggests-tamla-was-involved-in-a-struggle-and-the-investigation-was-compromi/85-b2896eb3-8482-478d-8601-d30e7f9d9e29 https://www.patheos.com/blogs/raceandgrace/2019/02/questions-remain-about-tamla-horsfords-mysterious-death/ https://www.patheos.com/blogs/raceandgrace/2019/02/questions-remain-about-tamla-horsfords-mysterious-death/ Thanks to our sponsors!
