Ep 19 - The Unusual Tragic Death of Tamla Horsford

Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour.  Thank you for bearing with us last week, but we are back, babies!In today's episode, Sahara guides us through the mysterious and tragic death of Tamla Horsford, a case that perplexes and haunts the small town of Cummings, Georgia. Tamla, a vibrant and beloved mother of five, attended an adult slumber party in Forsyth County, Georgia, in November 2018, only to be found dead in the backyard the following morning. Official reports concluded her death was accidental, however, discrepancies in witness statements, combined with a lack of thorough investigation, have fueled widespread speculation and distrust. This case raises troubling questions about evidence handling and the swift rush to closure, leaving Tamla's family and friends begging for answers. Join us as we peel back the layers of this case and sip on milk tea from our friends at Golden Tea Cafe in Sparks, NV.Justice For Tam: https://www.facebook.com/JusticeForTam/ Change.org Petition to Re-Open the Case: https://www.change.org/p/state-of-georgia-fire-sheriff-ron-freeman-stop-his-corruption-and-constant-cover-ups-as-sheriff-in-forsyth-countyGolden Tea Cafe: https://www.goldenteacafe.com/Case Notes: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/autopsy-report/85-70f52eff-a0d0-431c-8827-eda0907f9973https://www.patheos.com/blogs/raceandgrace/2019/02/questions-remain-about-tamla-horsfords-mysterious-death/https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/update-teacher-allegedly-told-student-toughen-over-racist-snapchat-messages/eOAAhsPfutJzUeauNuzA9K/https://www.11alive.com/article/news/investigations/tamla-horsford-investigation-independent-autopsy/85-a7ad99b5-58f9-4c18-8be8-a0172aa8fbd7#:~:text=Horsford%2C%20of%20Cumming%2C%20Georgia%2C,anxiety%20medication%2C%20in%20her%20system.https://forsythnews.cdn-anvilcms.net/media/documents/Tamla_Horsford_Investigation_set_1.pdfhttps://www.grunge.com/869093/disturbing-details-found-in-tamla-horsfords-autopsy-report/https://www.forsythnews.com/local/crime-courts/sheriffs-office-case-file-released-in-forsyth-county-womans-death/https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/tamla-horsford-death-georgia-bureau-investigation-report-1231479/https://www.okayplayer.com/culture/tamla-horsford-investigation.htmlhttps://www.reddit.com/r/cumming/comments/q6uyvn/is_forsyth_a_safe_place_for_a_black_family/https://www.reddit.com/r/Forsyth/comments/15tb86u/forsyth_county_in_general_and_this_sub/https://www.reddit.com/r/Georgia/comments/igbpck/whitewashed_the_racial_cleansing_of_forsyth_county/https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/toins/i_am_an_african_american_who_lives_in_an_all/https://www.history.com/news/georgia-racial-expulsion-stacey-abramshttps://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/forsyth-county-the-most-racist-county-in-georgia-has-a-racist-sheriff.2246794/https://www.forsythnews.com/local/education/11-vickery-creek-middle-students-be-disciplined-after-racist-snapchat-messages/https://www.ajc.com/news/breaking-news/racist-snapchat-messages-prompt-investigation-discipline-forsyth-county-middle-school/sZOAcJ5CQz4Pc87VoIFRtO/https://www.instagram.com/morbidpodcast/p/CB9omhXpran/?img_index=1https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/forgotten-fridays-3761920/episodes/the-tragic-deaths-of-tamala-ho-122342988Bridget Fuller Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGrTcsmYrJQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0-Ed0To7sgRalph Fernandez Attorney Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwE7nt4vio911 Call with redactions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0iCOt8rw9gNichole Lawson Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIryVbx1bh0Stacy Smith interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDLFYehUGlIThomas Smith Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tYUHa4jN8Madeline Lombardi Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3c6Tlqx8_YJeanne Meyers interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx0x_1fz-AgJose Barrera interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlkK_WAFzDchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcgJEb4EqI8Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scream-and-sugar-true-crime-coffee-hour--6015946/support.This content is not appropriate for all listeners; listener discretion is advised.  PS.
