Tamla Horsford, a 40‑year‑old mother of five, attends a birthday sleepover in Forsyth County, Georgia, and never makes it home. When she is found dead the next morning, the investigation that follows raises immediate concerns: conflicting statements, missing photographs, uncollected evidence and a timeline that never quite holds together. In this episode, we examine the investigation, the inconsistencies and the broader context of Forsyth County, asking what it means when an official conclusion leaves behind more uncertainty than resolution.

What began as a series of infant deaths, became one of Australia’s infamous murder cases in 2003. Kathleen Folbigg was once labelled Australia’s worst female serial killer. But two decades later, science exposed a very different truth. A story of grief, genetics, and a justice system struggling to keep pace with emerging science.

Part Two examines that aftermath: the police statements released in the immediate hours after the shooting, the contradictions that emerged, and the legal and institutional consequences that followed. We’ll look at the investigations, the inquest, and the long fight Jean’s family faced as they tried to understand how an innocent man could be killed by the police and why no individual officer was ever held personally responsible.

This is the part of the story where the focus shifts from the chaos of the operation to the systems behind it.

This is the story of how an innocent man was followed into a crowded train where he was fatally shot in front of multiple witnesses.

In the tense weeks after the 7/7 London bombings, the city was on edge. Police were operating at the highest threat level the UK had ever seen, racing to identify the men behind a second wave of attempted attacks. In this atmosphere of fear and urgency, a surveillance operation began at a small block of flats in Tulse Hill. An operation that would spiral into one of the worst failures in modern British policing.

Part One traces the final hours of Jean Charles de Menezes, a 27‑year‑old Brazilian electrician on his way to meet a friend for work. As he left his home that morning, officers watching the building believed they might be looking at one of the failed bombers. What followed was a chain of misidentifications, missed opportunities, and escalating assumptions that pushed the operation further and further off course. 

In 2002, a house fire in Zeeland, Michigan leaves 14-year-old Robin Boes dead. Within hours, investigators suspect arson and attention turns to her mother, Karen Boes.

After a 10-hour interrogation and a failed polygraph, Karen confesses. But she repeatedly says she doesn’t remember starting the fire.

24 years later, in 2026, the question remains: Did Karen Boes kill her daughter — or was she broken into believing she did?
