Xanax, Wine, and Whispers: The Death of Tamla Horsford

Send us a text

This week on Chambers of the Occult, we’re joined by special guests Brent and Talia from Chillworthy for a crossover unlike any other where they take the wheel and guide us through one of the most chilling and controversial cases in recent true crime history: the death of Tamla Horsford.

What was meant to be a casual adult slumber party with wine, football moms, and laughter ended in tragedy, and left a trail of questions no one seems eager to answer. Tamla, the only Black woman at the party, was found dead in the backyard the following morning. It was ruled an accident, but too many details refuse to fall in line.

Together we peel back the layers:

• The eerie 911 call that felt far too calm.
• The autopsy inconsistencies, including unexplained injuries.
• The social dynamics of the party—how race, privilege, and silence may have played a role.
• The Xanax and alcohol mix, and whether that tells the whole story.
• And the family’s continued fight for answers and justice.

Brent and Talia help us dive deep into the murky waters of this case bringing empathy, sharp insight, and their signature Chillworthy tone. This episode isn’t just about true crime it’s about how justice can be delayed, distorted, and denied.

It started as a night of fun, but ended in a nightmare. Light a candle, stay curious, and prepare to dive into a case where every answer leads to more questions… and justice remains just out of reach.
