The unsolved death of a mother from Georgia who fell from a balcony at a ‘moms’ slumber party’ in 2018 has left people baffled as it’s picked up on TikTok six years later.
Tamla Horsford, known as ‘super mom’ to her five children, was found lying face down in the backyard of a party hosted by a fellow ‘soccer mom’ in Forsyth County.
Initially, authorities deemed her death accidental. But now, as Tamla’s family continues to search for answers, new theories are emerging.
According to Rolling Stone, the event was being held to celebrate the birthday of Jeanne Myers, who had invited a group of mothers (most of whom she’d met through a local youth football league).
To avoid drinking and driving, the guests planned to stay the night, and Tamla arrived with a gift of a bottle of tequila and a small overnight bag.
As the party started, the women drank as they watched an LSU-Alabama College Football game. Meanwhile, Jeanne Myers’s boyfriend Jose Barrera and another guest’s boyfriend, Tom Smith, watched football in the basement (despite that the party was supposed to be a women’s only event).
As the only habitual smoker, Tamla stepped onto the balcony several times for a cigarette, also smoking some marijuana (with reports saying Myers herself admitted teasing her for doing so and asking her to stop, branding her the ‘female Bob Marley’).
Tamla also drank some tequila, but did not, by all accounts, appear inebriated.
After watching the game, the men joined the women, with the group playing the game Cards Against Humanity.
The guests who planned to leave started making their way home at 11:30pm, say reports.
Police interviews say that Tamla was still awake after Meyers and Barrera retired to bed at around 1:30am. It is said that Bridget Fuller saw Tamla – the last person to see her alive – before Fuller was picked up by her husband at around 1:47am.
Fuller claimed that Tamla was eating a bowl of gumbo, planned to have a final cigarette, then go to bed herself.
Data from the the home security system shows that at 1:57am, the back door opened, closed, then opened again for the final time.
It was not until the next morning, at around 8:45am, that Myers’ live-in aunt, Madeline Lombardi, saw something in the garden: it was Tamla, who was unmoving and face down.
Commentators have noted that rather than call 911, Madeline Lombardi said a prayer before waking Myers.
Reports claim she told Myers there was something wrong with her ‘friend from the islands’ (Tamla, who had been born in the Caribbean moved to the US when she was just 11-years-old).
