#285 - It was supposed to be a fun night.A group of moms—neighbors and friends—gathered for an adult slumber party. Alcohol, games, laughter… the kind of night where you let loose, take off your responsibilities, and just be yourself.
But by the next morning, one of them was dead.
Her name was Tamla Horsford. A 40-year-old mother of five.She was found face down in the backyard of the home where the party took place—cold, lifeless, and alone.The official story?
She was drunk. She slipped. She fell off a second-story deck and died.
But that explanation didn’t sit right with Tamla’s family. Or with a growing number of people who started asking hard questions.
Why were there so many injuries—far more than you'd expect from a simple fall? Why did no one hear or see what happened? And why, in a house full of people, was there so little forensic evidence to go on?
This is the story of what happens when the science raises more questions than answers… When families are forced to fight for investigations they believe never truly happened… And when the absence of evidence becomes its own kind of clue.
