Most people believe she was murdered vs. the claims that she fell off the balcony of the sleepover she was at.

She went to an all adult football moms sleepover with 7 white moms in Forsyth, Georgia. This was December 2018. She was supposedly beaten and thrown off the balcony at 7:30 am the next morning after she tried to leave and the women took her stuff and didn’t allow her to leave. They didn’t call the Police until after 9am though. They claim she fell off and they just found her.

The husbands are friends with the local cops etc. and an investigation was never conducted. The entire thing was labeled an accident and thrown away. No justice for her or her family.

She was a mother of 5 and married.

People are now signing petitions to have the case reopened and investigated.

The photo below is the last photo ever taken of her.

This article was published 6 hours ago. This is getting attention again.

"Adult slumber party" means everyone was drunk off their ass that night.

Has Anna Maria issued a statement?

Hope all those whites get arrested.

Why would they invite her over and then kill her.

I blame racist, Trumpster Cindy.

I know how this is going to go. No charges will ever be filed, but people like R4 will find out the names of the other guests, and hound them on social media and ruin their fucking lives, all without proof of any wrongdoing whatever.

Like I said, "adult slumber party" means that people were probably falling-down drunk, and an accident is infinitely more likely than murder.

[quote] in Forsyth, Georgia.

I lived one county over in the late 80s and at the time no black person had lived there in decades. It was terrifyingly racist.

Did she get in a drunken slap-fight with one of them, then went over the balcony, and that woman swore the others to silence?

This case doesn’t make any sense.

The racists already defending the women. Lmaooo what a shock.

They slapped her up when she let it slip that she didn't know nothing about birthing babies.

She didn’t just fall. She had bruises all over her body aka she was attacked. And why did they wait almost 2 hours to call the cops???

Yeap, those racist bitches killed her. They hated her so much they invited her to just to get her drunk and beat her ass to death.

They locked their purses in the hostess’s filing cabinet, too!

There were men at the sleepover

R15 ummmm that kind of shit actually happens. Stupid.

One or more of them most likely killed her for whatever reason and the others are keeping their mouths shut.

Was she there to supply the drugs?

Because no one has ever invited someone over with the intent to kill them... smh at some of you.

They all locked their purses in the hostess's filing cabinet?

Well, that certainly confirms my theory that they were all there to get shitfaced!

R22 No it was Tamla Motown Horsford.

This article points out that Forsyth is notoriously racist still to this day.

First red flag with this ... this was supposed to be a moms sleepover, why were there 3 men there? Something fishy.

Didn’t Oprah do an entire episode about Forsyth?

They need to find the weak link in the group and get them to spill

I really hope black lives matter doesn’t get mixed up in this shit, because these are not the same issues. And pretending otherwise is only going to hurt the cause.

[quote]Didn’t Oprah do an entire episode about Forsyth?

Yep—at the time (1987), years after desegregation, blacks weren't allowed within the county limits.

Without a confession, nothing's going to come of this, and I question the attorney’s motives for dredging this up. I suppose he could be enough of a dumbass to think he’ll get traction on a two-year-old death that looks like an accident, where any potential evidence is long gone, and where there are so many potential suspects, any one of them benefits from reasonable doubt, but I think it’s more likely he’s looking to sue... someone.

Why are the racists so concerned about this coming back up? Hmmmm.

[quote] I really hope black lives matter doesn’t get mixed up in this shit, because these are not the same issues. And pretending otherwise is only going to hurt the cause.

If a blonde, Caucasian woman went to an adult sleep-over party with a group of black women, then ended up dead, things would have been different. IMO, it would have been a huge news story and there would have been a dissection / investigation of just what the hell happened at this adult sleep-over party. The police would have gotten to the bottom of the situation, had the dead woman been Caucasian and especially, blonde.

I have a friend who lives outside of Forsyth, and said that this story was quickly put on silent and thrown away. They kept the media from covering it and all. That is why most people do not know about it, the GA Sheriff etc. made sure it went away and fast.

When her body was found she had broken bones and her face and head were beaten in. She had bruises all over her body. The fall was on the second story and only 14 feet above the ground. The ground is dirt and grass, not cement etc. A 14 foot fall onto the grass would not have caused the damage it did.

Also, she was told it would only be them (the 8 women) but they had 3 men come. Strange.

I am watching a video on it from last year where a woman is trying to draw attention to this, and as of last year if you searched her name nothing would come up. Now you can find articles ever since this started spreading.

Also, the white people tried giving investigators gift cards.

Calling John Galsworthy....

Clips of Oprah's show in Forsyth. I wish I could find the full episode.

Oprah did her show in Forsyth County, which is above the Atlanta suburbs. The city of Forsyth is right below the Atlanta suburbs. The county seat of Forsyth County--where Oprah was--is--wait for it--Cumming.

One woman got in a huge fight with her. The other women, of course, felt obligated to all stick together. They took so long to call police because they panicked and all had to get their stories in sync.

Apparently this incident happened in Forsyth County, which is indeed where Oprah did her show from. It's still super-duper white, like 78%. Black residents make up less than 5% of the county's population.

[quote]They need to find the weak link in the group and get them to spill

The weak link is that fat brunette one on the far right.

The weakest on is the uber frau dark haired woman to the right of Tamla. The two blondes on the far left are the masterminds behind it.

So the coroner lied? Because that's not what it says in the Blackamericaweb article above.

What exactly is suspicious about this case other than the race of the victim and the other women? As for them bringing three men along even though it was supposed to be only women - dumb straight women pull that shit all the time. They lose all ability to be an individual once they pair up with a man.

R43 the father had an independent autopsy done, like George Floyd’s family did. The autopsy came back differently than the original one. Aka they lied. As usual.

It was an accident. Read the facts.

It wasn’t an accident just because that is what was claimed.

And independent autopsy said otherwise.

So post the second autopsy results here so we can get the facts.

Racists make me sick. R47 needs to be FFd. Seriously. I’m done with them.

You don’t have blunt force injuries to your head, face, torso from one 14 foot fall. Her neck and Wrist were broken. Her fingers were broken. She had bruises all over her body.

That is not from ONE 14 foot fall.

Maybe she disparaged the Hobby Lobby metal trellis art on the wall and glass bowl full of wicker potpourri decor. Insulting Frau design can lead to murder.

I had never heard about this case until recently and it seems impossible to find much information.

Interesting bits from the link below:

Witness statements are in conflict. A potential subject handled the body as well as the evidence prior to law enforcement arriving. Evidence was disposed of and no inquiry followed. The scene was not preserved,” the letter said. “A remarkable fact is that there were no photographs taken during the autopsy of Tamla’s body.This had to have been done at someone’s directive because such a practice is unheard of.”

I’m not surprised that there are questions surrounding her death.

“But friends and the internet sleuths believe there are other layers to the story as it never reached public attention until it was reported that court employee Jose Barrera was fired for illegally accessing documents related to the case. Barrera is also the boyfriend of the woman who owns the home.”

Why would he do that?

This is like the movie Wine Country taking a really dark turn.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle.

I don’t think the women invited Tamla for the sole purpose of murdering her. They probably thought they were being all woke and noble. I think it was a booze-fueled party that went wrong and Tamla was killed. Probably one of the men wanted to bang her and one of the white women liked him and it got ugly. Then the racist attitudes came out.

Shit goes sideways when alcohol is involved.

R54 because they have something to hide.

I think I saw this on an episode of Cold Case

I think I saw this on an episode of Designing Women.

Sorry. I don’t like negroids.

How high was the balcony railing? The police report (in the Snopes link) theorizes that she tripped and fell. Also there's a photo of the security notifications (front door opened, front door closed) with time stamps. The last series says, back door opened, backdoor closed (a minute later), then 7 minutes later backdoor opened. The photo of the notifications stops there. So when they all got up, the back door was still open?

This YouTuber does videos on these murder cases and tries to bring light to the ones that are swept under the rug through YouTube and her following. This case was brought to her attention last year and she made a 3 part series on it, where she states the facts of that night and how it most likely was a murder because the Police and people at that party’s story has so many holes in it. She even has now deleted tweets etc.

She also points out that if this was indeed an accident those other people would want justice for her and feel sorry. However they’ve done everything in their power to keep the story from making headlines and to get it swept under the rug. That is a sign of guilt.

[quote]She also points out that if this was indeed an accident those other people would want justice for her and feel sorry. However they’ve done everything in their power to keep the story from making headlines and to get it swept under the rug.

What kind of "justice" can there be if it was just an accident? Who says they don't feel sorry about what happened? How have they tried to sweep it under the rug? Refused to talk to reporters?

R64 why did they bribe investigators with gift cards if there is nothing to hide? Why did Jose Barrera get fired for abusing his title and accessing the files to that case, a case which involved him as he was there that night. Why are they so worried???

R26 I’ve always wondered if they were trying to get her to partake in some deviant sexual shit and when she refused she was killed. The fact that there were also men there and it was only the black girl that got killed is highly suspicious.

This happens all the time. An accident, a suicide, an OD- but the family in their grief understandably cannot accept the ruling. It’s not limited to cases involving black people either. The white teen girl who OD’d on bactine of all things, still has her parents claiming she was murdered. She was found dead in inner city Baltimore, miles from her upper middle class suburban home. Unusual circumstances there too, but when you look at the context of the case, the picture becomes clearer.

Occam’s razor applies; there is no need to complicate matters. This poor woman was intoxicated well above the legal limit in an unknown house at 2am. She fell off a balcony, her wrist injuries most likely occurring when she hit or grabbed the scaffolding. She appeared to be a slim, petite woman. Hitting the ground may have caused her greater damage than it would a larger, heavier person.

R67 That doesn’t explain the good point R65 brought up...

She fell off a deck at around 2 am when she went out back to smoke a cig.

Snopes tells the whole story, alcohol, Xanax, and weed all involved. They actually called the police right away. Why people do not check Snopes before bitching first.

R70 exactly. The family keeped suggesting there was another autopsy - ok, where is it? No one can seem to get their hands on it?

This is bullshit.

Sometimes an accident IS just an accident.

Why would she go on the deck upstairs to smoke when the last time she was seen was around 1:40 am downstairs alone where she was going to sleep on the sofa. Why not go outside for a cigarette? Why would you go upstairs to smoke and then go back down? You white fucks don’t quit.

And a 14 foot fall would NOT cause that much damage.

[quote] That doesn’t explain the good point [R65] brought up...

Except none of those things negate the facts.

Maybe because she was TWO TIMES the legal limit for alcohol and had Xanax and THC in her blood.

She also hit steel lawn edging, read whole damn article.

THE ARTICLE IS USING THE THE INFO THE SHERIFF AND THEIR CORONER GAVE THEM. FUCKING RETARD.

Apparently you have learned NOTHING from this George Floyd situation

Go to this video and skip to the 35 minute mark. The discussion about her father getting his own autopsy done is discussed there.

Most of the info about her was scrubbed off the internet, to those who keep bringing up the lack of info online. THAT IS PART OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS CASE.

Time of death is not determined the way that tweet seems to think. They get within hours, not minutes based on lividity, body temp, digestion and many other factors— some of which can contradict one another. A 15-30 minute difference is impossible to determine. These arguments are absurd.

That's bullshit r81, but you keep spreading the misinformation to stir up.social unrest about a sad accident. Are you posting from a troll farm?

To all the "nothing to see here" folks that want to create a "she was drug addict" strawman, two things. 1. THC stays in your system for up to a month. The toxicology test does not prove she was intoxicated on marijuana or even Xanax at the time of the incident. You're also impliedly overstating the effects of these drugs. Despite what you've seen through "reefer madness" or that time you smoked a joint in college and got a little paranoid-- people don't smoke weed and then fall off of balconies.

2. Were the white women also drunk and possibly high on weed and xanax? This matters.

What you're trying to twist into a "she had THC, booze and pills in her system and fell" scenario could have EQUALLY been a drug fueled racially motivated crime. A bunch of hillbilly fraus lure this woman to their house, ply her with booze and whatever else and then push her. Or, one of the men that was present at this supposedly "all women's" sleepover.

One of the Facebook posts from the owner of the home, that she later deleted and went with the narrative “she fell off the balcony”

R84 I think it's just it's more convenient for you to pretend other people's warranted suspicions are rumormongering. There's enough BACKWARDS ASS SHIT that goes down exactly like this to make several hundred seasons of true crime shows. You see what you want to see.

Is there an actual reason to suspect homicide, other than the inherent suspiciousness of whites?

Why do they think she was being held there?

Apparently her friend who was questioning the death was threatened by the Police Department to stop.

Why would Jose Barrera care to access those files unless he was afraid of the contents within? He was there. He knows what happened. He is scared of us finding out what happened.

Andy Cohen should be doing this as a new show. "Real Homicidal Racist Housewives of Suburban Atlanta."

The owner of the home tried giving the detectives gift cards during their interviews

This is another case like Kenneka Jenkins or Kendrick Johnson, where someone dies in a strange way and the family can't accept the randomness of it. They think there must be something sinister going on.

No one believed Jenkins hadn't bewn murdered until CCTV footage was released of her stumbling into the freezer alone.

Or Jose was doing something else illegal and want to make sure his side hustle wasn’t busted— like who procured the pot? Or he was just a snoop.

One of the married white men there was probably in the mood for some brown sugar. Tamla was in the mood for some white bread and then she probably threatened to tell the white man’s wife so he killed her.

OR

Tamla was raped by one of the white men and they’re all covering it up

Interestingly, if a white woman had died instead of Tamla, nobody would give a shit.

This is just like Kenneka Jenkins and that rolled-up gym mat kid. It was an accident, but of course people have to attribute it to racism and lynching.

The gym mat kid is Kendrick Johnson:

Elisa Lam is a good example of this too, people just can't believe she wasn't murdered because her death was so strange:

R96 Interestingly, if a white woman had died instead of Tamla, nobody would give a shit.

Yes, America has a longstanding history of not caring when white people die. You've certainly dazzled us all with your prudent wisdom and astuteness.

R97 he was 100% murdered you fucking moron

A white woman at a black party suddenly dies and no one would care?! What?!!!

R100 He was not murdered.

Nobody cared when I died! Why doesn't anyone care about white deaths!?

Nobody cared when I was abducted! I keep hearing about all these thousands of Native American and Black people being kidnapped each year but let's not pull focus!

R103 everyone cared. The world wouldn’t shut up about it.

R107 Did you do it? Why do you know?

[quote] This happens all the time. An accident, a suicide, an OD- but the family in their grief understandably cannot accept the ruling.

I understand what you're saying, R67. IMO, the Kenneka Jenkins death (very intoxicated black girl who stumbled into walk-in freezer & got locked inside) was a tragic accident. (Also complicated by lack of police response when mother called to say that daughter disappeared from hotel where party was taking place.)

But there's something different about Tamla Horsford's case and it should, at the very least, be thoroughly investigated.

[quote] But there's something different about Tamla Horsford's case

Yes because we KNOW those white women lured her there for bloodsport.

Kendrick was murdered. He was beaten in the head and his body stuffed with newspaper. How is that an accident?

If a WHITE woman had died at a slumber party with WHITE people, this story would have gone away already.

I agree it merits another look. Because it’s fishy. Not because of anyone’s skin color.

A white woman at a white party is different than a Black woman at a white party.

The same way a black woman dying at a black party would be different than a White woman dying at a black party.

R112 I truly pity you. You are... so immersed... in your whiteness.. that you have no idea exactly what reality anyone else inhabits. That anytime a blonde white woman checks into a hotel and doesn't check in with her family it becomes a national manhunt really evades you.

You are... seething.. with white outrage that no longer will you have to deal with media coverage being 100% about white people but a paltry maybe 95%.

R113 R112 is one of those "I don't see race" people, except of course when it's to point out how tragically IGNORED and UNCARED for WHITE! PEOPLE! are in this country.

R111 His body was stuffed with newspaper by the mortician, and he died of "positional asphyxia" meaning he couldn't breathe in the position he was stuck in.

His grieving parents, who wanted there to be more sense to his death, hired two doctors to perform autopsies who interpreted the injuries to his chest from being crushed by the mat as having been blunt force trauma from something striking him. No one reported him being beaten in the head. He had significant bruising around his head from blood rushing there when he was upside down.

I think if I was in the position his family was in, where the kid I love loses his life in such a stupid, random way, I would feel the same way they do. The unfairness of it would make me crazy.

But Kendrick was not murdered.

The county seat of Forsyth is "Cumming", LOL. I remember getting out there for something when I lived in Atlanta c. early 2000s. Very creepy vibe---very Baptist. kenesaw had a similar vibe but with an obviously smaller gene pool.

R103 Shut the HELL up! You have been nothing but trouble.

Imagine claiming no one cared about JonBenet’s death with a straight face? That is all you heard about in the 90s.

R117, I worked in Alpharetta--between Atlanta and Cumming--and graduated from Kennesaw State. It's all very, very white once you get outside the Atlanta city limits that far north.

I'm from Valdosta, GA, where Kendrick Johnson was also from. I'd moved away years before his death, but knew immediately it would turn into a huge racial thing there. Valdosta was notoriously segregated when I was growing up, to the point that my freshman year of high school ('94) was the first year we didn't have separate homecoming queens...one black and one white. Ironically, the winner's ethnicity alternated between black/white every year from '94 to '05, when my sister won the year the pattern "called for" a black girl to win. A recount was ordered after students protested; the whole nine yards. To this day, we don't talk about the win to my sister. But the good news is that the pattern was broken then.

R119 He's trolling. White people were interested in Jon Benet so they have to be equally interested in Tamla or they're racist.

Why hasn't Tyler Perry turned this into a Madea movie yet?

R121 You're the troll. You sit there with a straight face and claim that no one cares when white people die. What WORLD do you inhabit?

Very fishy case. Aspirational blacks who only have white friends are deluded. They are never fully part of the group and the moment they turn their back, the white people start gossiping and othering. I won’t be surprised if it comes out that they killed her.

If you want to get your dander up about the White Devil murdering- Rebecca Zuhau probably really was killed by her white brother-in-law for.... fetishy revenge reasons. He has not been charged.

R124 You sound like you'd know about delusion.

[quote] Ironically, the winner's [homecoming queen] ethnicity alternated between black/white every year from '94 to '05, when my sister won the year the pattern "called for" a black girl to win.

R120, was your sister black or white? Your post was interesting, just trying to understand what happened. TIA.

[quote] Very fishy case. Aspirational blacks who only have white friends are deluded.

R127, my sister is white. I should've specified. I know a homecoming queen election seems vapid and trivial, but when one is in high school, things like that seem like paramount in that social fishbowl. My sister was never the kind to've campaigned or even really wanted to win, which made it even more awkward when she won. I was there when she won, and the booing was audible in the football stadium. Then she got booed the next night at the dance. White whine, I know...but everything is relative and it has scarred her. But I digress; she's not been killed or died, so I'll stop rambling about it .

There are school systems in the South that still have segregated proms and Senior Superlative yearbook sections.

isn’t this my storyline on next season’s little big lies?

Thanks for explaining, R129. It sounds like the alternating (black / white) system was unofficial and your sister was still able to run for homecoming queen even though it was unofficially the year for a black homecoming queen.

Who was booing your sister in the football stadium? Black students? (If you could discern.)

This is a strange case, but I think most peoples disbelief comes from the fact that a group of middle aged women rarely kill anyone.

How drunk was Jon Benet when she was murdered?

The Zuhau case mentioned at r125 is a good example of a supposed accidental death that really should be reinvestigated. The circumstances there are very different than the other cases mentioned here.

Mat Boy sounds like a truly horrible way to die. Trapped, hoping someone finds you before it's too late.

I've been Freezer Girl before. Drunk and separated from my friends. I once got hammered on the Queen Mary and lost in the bowels of the ship. Fortunately I found my way back but something bad could easily have happened.

The slumber party is definitely suspicious. While it's certainly possible they planned it, I'm inclined to believe something happened at the party, an argument started, she ended up dead and everyone took a vow of silence. There seems to be a commitment to a cover up.

Jose Barrera was the boyfriend of the woman whose house it was. He lived there. According to the police report, he and the other guy ( husband of one of the attendees) watched tv in the basement. Not all the women were going to spend the night at the house. Quite a few left as the party wound down. The victim intended to sleep over though. Barrera was employed in the probation department so he was able to access the police reports, it's not unreasonable to think he was curious about the progress of the case. When that was discovered, he was fired.

R132, both white and black students were booing her. If I recall correctly. the homecoming court was 5 white girls and 1 black girl. So it was supposed to be a sure thing that the black girl one. And she technically should've given the unofficial pattern set. Again, that all went out the window when my sister won.

Also, even though proms weren't officially segregated, the wealthy white parents who were members of the country club would thrown a separate one under the guise of a "Spring Junior Members Dance." I was never invited nor went, as my parents weren't members. I also took my black friend to my school prom, so I doubt we would've been able to go to the country club dance either way. (And this was in 1998!)

Thanks for explaining, R138.

[quote]Lifetime movie executive, masturbating furiously

No, there won't be a Lifetime movie. I'm already working on a pitch for a limited series on Hulu or HBO. Right now, I'm thinking Kerry Washington as Tamla and Michelle Williams, Shailene Woodley, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicole Kidman as some of the white woman. I might give myself a role in the project.

So again, why would all these mid-to-upper class housewives agree to cover up a murder?

[quote] Jose Barrera was the boyfriend of the woman whose house it was. He lived there. According to the police report, he and the other guy ( husband of one of the attendees) watched tv in the basement.

I wonder if the basement's decor was as frau-tastic as the living room at the OP.

R141 the biggest murderers are the people with the Most money because they DO get away with it.

Real Housewives of Forsyth County

R143 What do the OTHER people have to gain? The ones who weren't involved but were present?

If I was at a party where someone got killed and I had nothing to do with it, what motivation would I have to not say "Well fuck ya'll, I'm telling the police what happened and going home!"?

The gal on the far right in op’s picture looks like she could toss someone over a balcony. Just saying.

Forsyth County and Forsyth, Georgia are two different places.

Forsyth county was horribly racist for many years, as R8 stated. It's east of Atlanta.

Forsyth, Georgia is about 50 south of Hartsfield Airport. Just so no one is confused.

According to snopes.com she was intoxicated (BAC .23) and tested positive for THC and Xanax.

She fell off a balcony after an adult slumber party.

Never underestimate the pure evil of a gaggle of bottled blondes!

Good lord, one wonders how many bottles of Stella Rosa wine and Margarita Mix they went through that night before it all went south!

She should have fought the fuck back!

In the Zahau case, it was a Filipina possibly killed by a Jew.

Apples and oranges.

R153 So we (specifically) are fishing for a black woman murdered by a WASP white man for sexual reasons where the murder was cleverly disguised as a freak accident and the police are obstructing the family's fight for justice. That sounds like a (good) TV movie.

Are we trying to prove something, though?

R152 or at least created more of a scene?

In a bizarre and somewhat confusing nod to Oscar diversity, the “Tamla Horsford Story” is going to star six black actresses who do away with their white houseguest.

R157, Meryl in blackface will be the one who pushes Glenn off the balcony.

It's sort of like a frau version of Donna Tartt's The Secret History.

Julia Roberts IS Tamla Horsford!

I hope those murderers get what they have coming to her

Why they name her Tamale?
