Mysterious death of mother ‘murdered’ at a sleepover: Tamla Horsford died after ‘falling from a balcony at ‘football moms’ slumber party’ – six years on, her family are still looking for answers…

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).

Well, Well, Well: We May Be Getting Closer to the Truth About the J6 Pipe Bomber

By all rights, Kamala Harris’s storyline for Jan. 6, 2021, should have been that she narrowly escaped being assassinated by a bomb timed to detonate at the Democratic National Committee headquarters when the newly elected vice president was inside. But she never mentioned it. In fact, the pipe bomber case and the FBI’s handling of it turned into vapor right after they tracked down the bomber’s cell phone. None of this makes sense.

Maybe things will make sense soon. 

FBI Chief Kash Patel has been sending the documents that the Senate and House Judiciary Committees have been seeking for years. Julie Kelly reports that some of the documents turned over involve the January 6 pipe bomber. 

The mysteries of Jan. 6, 2021, are legion. Law enforcement, the feds, and an untold number of their assets were in the crowd inside and out. Munitions were blasted at people protesting outside the Capitol Building, not because they were rioting — they weren’t — but to rile them up. 

Intelligence specialists I’ve spoken with say the riot of January 6 was obviously an intentional operation. The Metropolitan Police Department of D.C. was seen on video encouraging protesters to get inside of the Capitol Building (and it’s charging Judicial Watch $1.5 million to get its hands on any more of the videos).

But the pipe bomber story is one of the biggest mysteries of January 6. The FBI originally released grainy video of an individual sitting on a bench in the dark and supposedly planting the pipe bomb the night before outside the DNC. The individual’s eyes have been blurred to subvert facial recognition software. 

That person was seen talking on a cell phone. Yet the FBI swore that the same cell phone technology used to track down hundreds, if not thousands, of people in Washington, D.C. around January 6 was now corrupted for this specific bomber on the night of January 5. That’s as interesting as the Secret Service text messages going missing at that time.

Austin police say InfoWars writer Jamie White possibly killed by car burglars

The InfoWars writer who Alex Jones, the founder of the conspiracy website, said was “brutally murdered” late Sunday was possibly killed by people burglarizing his vehicle, according to the Austin Police Department.

Police said in a statement Tuesday that Jamie White, 36, was found lying on the ground in the parking lot of the apartment complex where he lived, with trauma to his body. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead at 12:19 a.m. Monday, the department said.

“The initial investigation shows that White was shot and killed in the parking lot of the apartment complex in which he lived,” the statement said. “The suspects then fled the scene. Detectives believe the suspects were possibly burglarizing White’s vehicle, when he interrupted them.”

White’s body is in the possession of the the Travis County medical examiner’s office, county spokesman Hector Nieto confirmed.

The Police Department is asking that anyone in the area who may have had their vehicle burglarized Sunday or Monday, to come forward. Photos, videos, or potential evidence, can be submitted online.

In a statement released on social media Monday evening, Jones said White had been a “reporter” for the far-right site. White’s most recent article was published a day before his death.

“We pledge that Jamie’s tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice,” Jones said in a statement that blamed White’s death “in part” on the policies of Travis County District Attorney José Garza, a Democrat.

Garza dismissed Jones’ claim in a statement provided to the American-Statesman.

Key clue to fate of early American colonists found in Governor John White’s 400-year-old map

In 1587, a group of English settlers established the Roanoke Colony on an island between what is now North Carolina and the Outer Banks. However, by 1590, the traces of the colony had disappeared, and nothing remained of over 100 people. The only clue left behind was the word Croatoan carved on a wooden post.

An ancient map dating back 400 years, titled La Virginea Pars and exhibited at the British Museum, was examined by experts, potentially revealing details that could solve the centuries-old mystery of the lost Roanoke colony, according to Mail Online.

In 1587, a group of English settlers established the Roanoke Colony on an island between what is now North Carolina and the Outer Banks. However, by 1590, the traces of the colony had disappeared, and nothing remained of over 100 people. The only clue left behind was the word Croatoan carved on a wooden post.

Recently, a closer inspection of Governor John White’s map, La Virginea Pars, revealed two faint outlines that appeared to be repairs—small pieces of paper had been used to cover an error. Under advanced lighting techniques, experts discovered that one of these patches concealed a symbol of a fort, which could indicate the intended location of a new settlement.

“I said to Alice, ‘I think we just discovered the predicted location for the City of Raleigh, the colony for which John White was sent to Virginia,'” said Kim Sloan, a British Museum curator who made the discovery with her colleague, paper conservator Alice Ruhamer, according to Mail Online.

The covered area on the map corresponds to a location near present-day Bertie County, at the western end of Albemarle Sound. This site, known as 31BR246 or Site X, is approximately 1.5 kilometers away from where the Roanoke Colony disappeared, less than 100 miles from where English witnesses last saw the colonists.

In 2007, archaeologist Nicholas Luccketti of the James River Institute for Archaeology discovered pieces of English ceramic artifacts at Site X. These artifacts included fragments of Border ware, a specific type of English pottery that had been restricted to the early settlements in Virginia, probably dating from the sixteenth century. The find suggests that archaeologists had stumbled upon a previously unknown English settlement.

Stone of Destiny mystery solved as expert deciphers odd markings on artefact used in King Charles’ coronation

The mysterious inscription in the Stone of Destiny may have been decoded, as archaeologists share a fresh insight into the rock used to crown King Charles III.

The centuries-old item, also known as the Stone of Scone, has played a role in the crowning of British monarchs since the 13th century. Ahead of King Charles’ coronation in May 2023, a new 3D scan revealed previously unseen subtle markings of the Roman numerals XXXV, or 35, on the stone.

Now, an expert has put forward her theory behind the markings, which she thinks were made as recently as the early 1950s.

Archaeologist at Stirling University, Professor Sally Foster, believes the Stone of Destiny is one of 35 pieces of a large sandstone block.

The other smaller 34 pieces were separated from the ancient artefact after its famous theft from Westminster Abbey in 1950 by four students who intended to return it to Scotland. During the raid, the stone split in two.

Professor Foster theorises that the markings were made by Bertie Gray, the stonemason and nationalist politician who oversaw the secret repair of the stone in 1951.

Trump takes aim at FBI over January 6 pipe bomb mystery: Deep State coverup exposed?

In a shocking development that has reignited the national conversation about the events of January 6, 2021, former President Donald Trump has publicly asserted that the FBI knows the identity of the individual responsible for planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Capitol riot. Trump’s bold claim, made during a recent interview with Revolver News’ Darren Beattie, suggests a deliberate cover-up by federal authorities – a narrative that aligns with the explosive findings of a recent House Administration Committee report.

The January 6 pipe bomb incident remains one of the most perplexing and underreported aspects of that fateful day. The bombs, planted just hours before the Capitol breach, were discovered outside the DNC and RNC offices but failed to detonate. Despite an extensive FBI investigation – including over 1,000 interviews, 39,000 video files reviewed, and a $500,000 reward for information—the suspect’s identity remains a mystery. But according to Trump, the mystery may not be as unsolvable as the FBI claims.

In his interview with Beattie, the former president expressed confidence that the FBI knows who planted the bombs but has chosen to conceal the truth. “The FBI knows who did it,” Trump asserted, implying that the suspect’s identity would be politically damaging to the Biden administration and the so-called “regime” in power. This bombshell accusation comes on the heels of an 80-page House Administration Committee report that corroborates much of independent media’s reporting, raising serious questions about the FBI’s handling of the case.

The report, released just days before Trump’s interview, suggests that the FBI conducted a legitimate investigation into the pipe bombs for the first few months of 2021 but abruptly dropped the case around May of that year. Beattie and Trump both speculate that the FBI uncovered the bomber’s identity and determined that revealing it would be too embarrassing for the Biden administration. This theory has gained traction among conservatives, who have long criticized the FBI for what they see as a pattern of politically motivated misconduct.

House Report Discloses New Information On Unsolved J6 Pipe Bomber

Four years after what the FBI describes as an act of domestic terror–the protest at the Capitol on January 6, 2021–federal authorities have not yet solved the most consequential crime of that day: the presence of two explosive devices within blocks of the U.S. Capitol.

A report issued today by Representatives Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky), chairmen of House subcommittees examining the events of January 6 and the work of the January 6 Select Committee, details how the FBI investigation into the so-called pipe bomber went cold by early 2021 despite dedicating significant resources into finding the suspect and initially identifying several “persons of interest.”

The FBI originally claimed an individual wearing a hoodie planted the devices near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee on January 5, 2021 between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The devices were not discovered until 17 hours later, coincidentally, around the same time the Joint Session of Congress convened at 1:00 p.m. on January 6 to debate the results of the 2020 presidential election. A woman doing her laundry found a pipe bomb in an alleyway near the RNC headquarters at around 12:40 p.m.; a plainclothes Capitol Police officer discovered a similar device outside the DNC headquarters at 1:05 p.m.

The latter situation posed an extreme danger to incoming Vice President Kamala Harris, who left the Capitol at 11:25 a.m. and inexplicably went to the DNC, where she remained until around 1:15 p.m. As I have reported, several officers including numerous Secret Service agents and a bomb-sniffing canine failed to detect the device sitting just steps away from the building’s entrance.

News of the devices prompted the evacuation of nearby buildings and set off the first wave of panic that afternoon. Some top law enforcement officials including former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund believe the devices were a diversionary tactic. “[While] law enforcement has not identified the suspect responsible for planting both pipe bombs, the explosive devices played a critical role in how the events of that day unfolded. Whether intended to or not, both pipe bombs acted as diversions, forcing law enforcement to draw resources away from the Capitol,” the report states. The first exterior breach of Capitol grounds occurred at 12:53 p.m.

But no one has been arrested despite a $500,000 reward offered by the FBI. Further, the failure to locate the J6 pipe bomber doesn’t add up considering the extensive investigative tools still being used by the FBI to track down and arrest J6 protesters, a caseload now approaching 1,600 individuals.

D.B. Cooper Researcher Casts Considerable Doubt on Parachute Discovery Claim

A dedicated D.B. Cooper researcher has cast considerable doubt on the alleged discovery of the legendary skyjacker’s parachute, pointing out several flaws surrounding the suspected evidence which suggest that it did not play a role in the crime. The remarkable claim made earlier this week spawned worldwide headlines with many wondering if the longstanding mystery surrounding the 1971 caper was on the cusp of finally being solved. However, many in the diverse D.B. Cooper research community expressed skepticism at the fantastic development with one in particular, Ryan Burns, releasing a detailed video (seen above) wherein he makes the case that “this is unquestionably not” the parachute used by the skyjacker.

Citing contemporaneous media accounts and the voluminous FBI files concerning the crime, he noted that the parachutes provided to Cooper were repeatedly said to have been missing two specific features: D-Rings and capewells. Alas, these two pieces are present on the recently unearthed rig. Additionally, he indicated that the parachute harness model provided to Cooper during the caper was from the Navy rather than the Air Force, which is the case with the newfound alleged evidence. These three factors, among other aspects of the account, led Burns to conclude that the headline-making parachute could not have come from the 1971 skyjacking.

As to the possibility that it was used in the caper and then significantly altered sometime later, Burns dismissed that scenario as implausible. For that to be the case, he explained, suspect Richard McCoy Jr would have had to both keep a damning piece of evidence and subsequently enlist “a master parachute rigger to have all these modifications done to it.” If Burns’ assessment is correct, one wonders why the FBI seized the item since their own files would appear to indicate that it is not a genuine piece of evidence. While the agency could answer that question, previous instances of the federal government getting involved in longstanding mysteries, such as the still-contentious Pennsylvania treasure hunt from a few years ago, suggest that they may less than forthcoming on the matter.

Suspected D.B. Cooper Parachute Draws FBI Interest

A parachute found on the family property of a longstanding D.B. Cooper suspect has drawn interest from the FBI, which seized the intriguing item that some contend could be a breakthrough clue in the legendary cold case. As detailed in a lengthy piece by Cowboy State Daily, the remarkable discovery was made by researcher and YouTuber Dan Gryder, who believes that the skyjacker was a man named Richard McCoy II. Permitted to search the family’s property a few years ago, Gryder unearthed the parachute from a crate in a shed. Last week, he revealed that his videos about the discovery had caught the attention of federal authorities, who asked to speak with the researcher.

According to Gryder, he and McCoy’s son met with the FBI in September of last year wherein agents seized the curious canopy that could be connected to the Cooper caper. The following month, the agency conducted an extensive search of the property where the parachute had been found. Musing that “it’s a good sign that they’re taking this seriously,” McCoy’s son revealed that the FBI also collected a DNA sample from him with the suggestion that they may eventually have to exhume his father’s body should it prove necessary. To date, however, the agency has given no indication as to what their recent investigation has uncovered, though paperwork furnished by Gryder confirms that they did confiscate the parachute.

Stonehenge mystery deepens: Scientists say the altar stone did NOT come from Orkney as claimed – as the hunt for its place of origin continues

The origin of Stonehenge’s iconic standing stones has baffled archaeologists for hundreds of years.

Last month, the plot thickened as scientists made a bombshell discovery that the stone circle’s altar stone could be traced back to Scotland, rather than Wales.

Now, the mystery has deepened once again as a new study finds that this bluestone slab did not originate from Orkney as most experts had assumed. 

‘The mystery of where the stone came from is becoming clearer and clearer as we begin to rule out specific areas in north-east Scotland,’ said Professor Richard Bevins from Aberystwyth University, the lead author of the new study.

‘This research is radically changing our thinking about the origins of the Altar Stone. It’s thrilling to know that our chemical analysis and dating work is slowly unlocking this great mystery.’
