The Mysterious Death of Tamla Horsford

The enormous outrage and interest of people--all people--after the wrongful deaths of Breona Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery have forced the media to report on cases of Black people that normally would not have been as heavily publicized. This intense public pressure makes things happen--like in the case of Tamla Horsford. Though it occurred in November of 2018 and was closed soon after, the intense  public interest/pressure surrounding her death has forced the county sheriff to reopen the case and hand it over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation as of June 12, 2020. In this episode, we tell you our thoughts and the story of the night Tamla tragically lost her life at an adult slumber party where she was the only Black person present.

Normally, we don’t post our sources here, but these are ones you’ll want to know about: Tamla Horsford’s Change.org petition, Episode 8 of Cases of Color podcast, and the website Blackgirltragic.com. All were excellent sources for our episode this week. Check out our other source material at truecrimedumpster.com. Thanks for listening.
