Cummings, GA -- On November 3, 2018, 40-year-old Tamla Horsford attended an adult slumber party with other Football Moms. Tamla barely knew the other women at the party, but she was eager to make friends, seeing as though their children played sports together.

There were 10 other people including 8 women. There were also three men at the house - two other football mom’s husbands and the homeowner’s boyfriend - Jose Barrera. According to witnesses, Tamla got up at 2 a.m. to smoke a cigarette on the back porch balcony. The next day her body would be found in the backyard. Her death was ruled an accident, but what would be revealed throughout the course of the investigation would raise new questions regarding what actually happened to Tamla Horsford.

Was her death an accident or something more sinister at play?

Valdosta, Georgia —On January 11, 2013, the body of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson “KJ” was found in the most unusual of circumstances: upside-down and rolled up in a school gym mat. The mysterious death of Kendrick Johnson was initially ruled an accident by law enforcement, but his family was not convinced.

The initial autopsy revealed that Kendrick died due to “positional asphyxia” or that he suffocated as a result of being stuck upside-down in an enclosed space for an extended period of time. Just after 24 hours of being found, the investigators ruled Johnson’s death an accident with little to no investigation.

The Sheriff’s Department claimed that Kendrick must have accidentally fallen into the center of the mat while reaching for a sneaker, which he had stored his shoes in the gym mat, so that he wouldn’t have to pay for a locker to store his shoes. But Kendrick's parents have refuted those claims.

Kendrick’s parents felt that his death was not being taken seriously, in part because of his race or that there was a larger cover-up at play that included witness tampering, by a former FBI Agent. There was an alleged fight that took place between Kendrick and The Bell Brothers (Brian and Brandon) to which it was reported that the brothers had beef with Kendrick due to his popularity with the girls at school.

Check out this week’s episode for more on this case and let me know what you think. Was this a tragic accident or cold-blooded murder?

Washington, DC– Relisha Rudd was just 8-years old when she went missing on March 1, 2014. Relisha’s mother Shamika Young had fallen on hard times and Relisha and her three younger brothers were all living at the D.C General Shelter (now closed) when a 51-year-old janitor that worked at the shelter -Khalil Tatum befriended Shamika and she allowed Tatum to spend time alone with her 8-year-old daughter away from the shelter. Tatum bought the young girl a tablet and clothing and Relisha even spent the night with Tatum at his grandmother’s home. Residents who lived at the shelter reported that Tatum would single out the young girls at the shelter and would often buy them gifts, but the same was not offered to the young boys who resided at the shelter.

This case would be turned upside down when school officials and social workers reported to DCFS that Relisha had missed upwards of 30 days of school, this set off alarms, and the authorities were contacted, an Amber Alert was issued for the 8-year- old little girl, but even the reporting of Relisha’s disappearance wouldn’t reach news outlets until it was far too late. Shamika claimed that she failed to report her daughter missing because she didn’t want to lose her other children to the foster care system. What would happen next would set off the biggest mishandling of the Amber Alert Missing Persons notification system and the miscarriage of justice in locating Relisha Rudd. As of today, 10 years later, Relisha is still missing.
