Hello listeners, I'm your host Amara and this is Black Girl God a true crime podcast

On this episode of Black Girl Gone, we tell the story of two women who were brutally murdered

less than two months apart. On December 6th, 2002, the body of 27-year-old

Tamika Taylor was found in her home. She had been stabbed to death in her DeCalle County, Georgia

home. Less than two months later, on January 27th, 2003, 32-year-old Jennifer Clemmings was also

stabbed to death in her home. Both victims had been killed with knives from their own kitchens.

The multiple similarities in these murders led investigators to believe that perhaps

these murders were possibly connected. Are the similarities coincidental or the work of a serial killer?

This is Tamika and Jennifer's story. At this point, I'm no longer really surprised when I come

across the story of a missing or murdered black woman or woman of color that I've never heard of.

First, we know these stories rarely make the national headlines, but also there are so many stories,

so many women. There's no way that we could have ever really known all of their stories.

This story, however, seems like a story that more people should have heard about. Now, I'm not from

the DeCalle County area, but if you are, maybe the stories of what happened to Tamika and Jennifer

were big locally in the news during that time. I mean, I would think that the possibility of a serial

killer on the loose should be known to the public. Now, this episode is the first time that I have told

the story of two women in one episode. Now, these two women were not connected in life, but their deaths

may be. And so, until investigators are able to catch whoever killed one or both of these women,

then you can't really tell one story without telling the other because, according to some,

there's a very strong possibility that these murders were perpetrated by the same person.

Tamika Taylor grew up in Charleston, South Carolina. Growing up, her father Matthew said that Tamika,

Mika, for short, was very ambitious. She was very serious about school and getting good grades.
