were they just friends or murders? The unknown answers with Tamla Horsford's case - Mystery & Makeup

Sign the petition for the FBI to reinvestigate Tamla's case: rb.gy/w6qvfj
Hi friends, happy Monday!
The story of Tamla Horsford is a really unsettling one. Like so many of us have done before, Tamla thought she was in for a cute weekend get together with her girls. But what started off as a lowkey drunken game night ended in Tamla's fatal "fall" from her balcony. Was her death just an accident, or as the only Black woman in this friend group, was there a sinister murder motive at play? Either way, Tamla did not deserve the ending that she got.
Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon

[@paigemonnin6026]

Prior EMT here, police can’t call us off unless the patient requests us to be canceled or the patient leaves the scene. We have to show up and release the body to a coroner. Police don’t do that (at least here in MS), we do. The police will secure the scene and get EMS workers info if there’s a possibility of foul play. Muscles usually don’t stiffen, to the point they described, until 12-24 hours. That alone should be considered strange. This case was a disgrace. This poor woman and her loved ones deserve answers and justice. As a fellow Southerner and first responder, I’m appalled by the care she received.

[@valentineluann]

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing. The police can't pronounce a death.

[@shania991]

Thank you I found that information so weird I was wondering since when do police call time of death or even give an estimation.

[@MidwestMom]

I am a death investigator and there's times I am called to scene and EMS was cancelled because of signs of an "obvious death." This would be decomposition, or obvious rigor. It's rare they call them off, but it does happen. I pronounce when I arrive. If Tam died around 0130, at 0830, rigor should've at the most been partially starting to develop (depending on outside temp). EMS should not have been called off in this case, so sad!

[@JessHenriquez]

Reading your comment impacted me so much because it's just so heartbreaking to see a mother of 5 go like that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I do hope that one day this gets resolved

[@paigemonnin6026]

@@MidwestMom As long as you’re called, I understand EMS being called off. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like that’s what happened. I agree that EMS should’ve been called too. I’ve worked one death during summer with someone who was dead for 4 plus weeks. Police could smell them from the street and called us asap. It was a rural area and the patient was elderly and lived alone. They knew it was unlikely there was foul play but we were still called. If we were called for that, this poor woman should’ve definitely had EMS.

FACTS!!

[@catherinerivers7883]

What she says makes a lot of sense and connects a lot of dots. The one thing I think differently though is about how the Xanax got into her system. I think they roofied her. That would explain why she was effected by the alcohol so much more than usual and the overly affectionate behavior towards the women around her. Any grown woman who makes a point to not take medications certainly is not going to willingly do so with alcohol in their system.

[@JP-iz9cz]

100% but the only part that doesn't add up is why José placed her so perfectly.. he's law enforcement, he'd surely know to leave her body more accidental looking, right?

[@savannas0322]

​​@@JP-iz9cz José wasn't exactly law enforcement in the sense that we all assume. He was a pre-trial release services officer, which is similar to a probation officer. They handle people who are pending trial basically. So I don't think he would know much more than like you or I about staging a crime scene.

@JP-iz9cz her feet being together with toes pointed to the house tell me that she was dragged into that position. If you think of someone pulling you by the arms, your legs will fall into that exact position

[@laninjachica]

Public notice: The instinct when you see someone fall or laying on their front is to flip them over, but unless they are poisoned, in immediate danger, or lying in liquid, DO NOT turn them over! If they have fallen this can PERMANENTLY damage their back and/or nerves. *Obviously* check for a pulse and breath, talk to them, but unless a first responder tells you, DO NOT roll the person over!

[@QueerFrogRabbit]

Police do not and are not allowed to pronounce death. Only doctors or coroners can make a legal pronouncement of death. A police officer can not pronounce someone dead unless they are decapitated, decomposing, or burned. EMS or a coroner HAS to come to the scene to pronounce someone dead. That alone has my hackles up, big time. I will be signing that petition. This is totally asinine.

[@TheJoannalicious]

Some counties do not have like licensed/qualified coroners (I think), the sheriff elects a buddy. Coroners also don’t need to be licensed physicians.

[@QueerFrogRabbit]

@TheJoannalicious In that case then EMS would need to pronounce death at the scene. And I know not all coroners are licensed physicians but they can pronounce death. Unlike police.

[@coygem25]

I was thinking this too. In Nashville, the district chief for the fire department goes even if the caller indicated for sure death. And the caller has to say specific things or the engine and ambulance still go. This story is crazy.

[@lindsey2417]

Bridgett sound a little guilty!!

[@rachelmiller4047]

As a fire fighter paramedic I was surprised to hear that part too. We can pronounce as a CCT medic, but I haven’t seen many counties that can pronounce as a cop. Especially without EMS on scene.

Bailey, thank you for highlighting this story. When the news broke about Tam’s passing I remember having a suspicious feeling that no one would be arrested, no one would provide the family with closure by telling the truth, and that her life was disposable. Thank you for spreading her story and trying to help her get justice. The emergency services definitely failed this woman, who was a mother, wife, friend, and she needs justice.

The moment you said, “Forsyth County” I already knew. One thing for certain, I would NEVER go to a sundown town. Ever. *ETA:* A sundown town is an all-White town, neighborhood, or community that was intentionally created by systematically keeping ethnic minorities, (primarily Black people) out of their town through the use of discriminatory laws, harassment and threats or use of violence. Do they still exist? Yes, there are some that do. The signs saying “No _________ Allowed” may be gone but the racism and judgement are still prevalent.

[@emmaalkourbah6156]

[@catT5236]

Here's my theory: the other women were already being awful to Tam & made her the outsider, so when she wanted to stay up Jean got annoyed & got some Xanax from Bridgette & they spiked Tam's drink. They might have even spiked her drink earlier & that's why someone was always with her when she went outside. All the substances didn't interact well & Tam felt weird, so she went outside. She'd said a few times she wanted to go home but they couldn't let her in case her husband realised what had happened. When Tam was on the balcony that last time she realised someone had spiked her drink, she accused either Jean or Bridgette (probably Jean) & they got angry & panicked when Tam stated she was going to leave. There was an altercation & they pushed Tam & she fell down the stairs. Everyone involved is freaking out & Jean gets José to help cover things up. When Bridgette's husband turns up they tell her to go so she doesn't raise suspicion. José takes charge & directs Jean (& anyone else involved) to help him but they're panicking so they keep leaving doors open. Jean makes the call in the morning but is freaking out & so passes the phone to José. It makes more sense to me that Jean was involved somehow because José wouldn't risk his job for a friend of his girlfriend. However if the woman he's living with is involved then he's going to help her. Aside from love as a motivation, it's her house. If she's in jail & he didn't help stop her going there, then he's not going to be living in that nice big house any more. He'll lose his girlfriend & his home.

[@allelli8304]

I believe that. The combo of xanex and alcohol probably killed her. Then they covered it up.

[@AirQuotes]

Yep your theory makes sense. They didn't care about her. I don't think they intentionally killed her but they were being suspicious and 1000% covered up evidence and are lying

I have strong thoughts on this case ! Let’s say there had been a house full of black women and only 1 white woman and this white woman ends up dead in the backyard,EVERYONE would’ve lost their minds !! I think the owner of the house was jealous of Tamla because her boyfriend was flirting with her in the kitchen and her and her mean girls friends pushed her off the balcony while she was outside smoking !!!

I saw the thumbnail and my heart drops everytime when I see the photo of the girls together at the slumberparty like that, with Tamal, the only POC woman, being the only one who got hurt/die.

[@melissap7420]

Bailey your suspicions are the most accurate. Xanax girl definitely had something to do with it. She was talking too much! Tamla had no reason to walk that woman to the door and sure as heck would not have kissed her on the cheek!?! That woman was giving too many “details”. The “aunt” probably heard the commotion since she was downstairs. So she had to keep changing her story. The boyfriend definitely helped Bridgette move her body. This is so sad and I pray she gets the justice she deserves!

[@miamistrawberry]

I think it’s common that when people lie they build a big story with excessive details/very very small details. She’s definitely a liar !

[@Beth-gn2dk]

This case is a prime example of why you should never mix pills and alcohol! Especially Xanax which is a benzodiazepine this kind of medication greatly intensifies the effects of alcohol. I 100% believe Bridgette would have known that and that she was sharing her meds with everyone at that party. Such a sad case 😢 rip Tamla. I hope her family is doing okay.

[@theeditor1149]

Yep, bridget the xanax queen is lying and it's so obvious it makes me feel embarrassed for her. People who tell the truth dont give this much convoluted detail and offer so many unrelated confusing bits of info like this. Also giving away some kind of guilt by trying to add in info from after she left. If she wasnt there but shes discussing what happened after she left she was either there at the time or she discussed it with others, as Bailey mentioned she said she spoke to Jose. Police should have been better at guiding the conversation because time is also limited in these situations.
