On November 4, 2018, the women in a "football moms'" slumber party in Cumming, Georgia woke up to a traumatizing sight: Their friend, Tamla Horsford, lay dead in the backyard, her body covered in scrapes and bruises.
The first autopsy reported that Tamla had fallen from the balcony and broken her neck. The women had been drinking all night, making Tamla's death seem like a case-closed accident. But the family disagreed and requested an independent autopsy.
It's been revealed that not all the details were reported to the public: There weren't only women at the party, there were four men, too. The medical examiner from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, while originally claiming the broken neck was the fatal injury, has now recanted this statement. The lead investigator on the case even referred to himself as "racist cracker bastard murder covering up land."
Search for the Truth brings to light all the disturbing statements of the partygoers, Tamla's family, and her friends, and the terrifying storm of racism and miscalculations (purposeful or accidental) that led to Tamla's death. Written by Michelle Graves, a close friend of Tamla, and filled with alarming new details, this is a story of what happens when a black woman, a loving wife, mother of five, and true friend, falls victim to the racism of South-and how this has let a killer get away with taking a life.
