the (musical) Memoirs of a Murder - Tamla Horsford

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

We tune back into the lives of our three “Prime Time Crime Time” podcasters; Charlotte reveals to her friends that she did not receive the promotion at work and Conner opens up about hanging out with his new friend, Mitchell, to which the girls express their concern. This week, Alex brings in the case of Tamla Horsford, a black woman who attended an otherwise all-white sleepover in Forsyth County, Georgia, and was found dead the next morning in the backyard. The three discuss the suspicious accounts from the sleepover attendees and raise important questions that are still trying to be answered today.
