Inside the Sandra Birchmore Cover-Up: Grooming, Power, and a Staged Suicide

Inside the Sandra Birchmore Cover-Up: Grooming, Power, and a Staged Suicide
Sandra Birchmore was 23, pregnant, and living alone when she was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. The initial ruling? Suicide. But now—thanks to a federal indictment—that story is unraveling fast.
In this episode, we break down the disturbing case of Sandra Birchmore, who prosecutors say was groomed and exploited for years by Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell. Farwell met Sandra through a police youth mentorship program when she was just 13. By 15, he was in a sexual relationship with her. By 23, she was pregnant with a child she believed was his.
Then she turned up dead.
Prosecutors allege Farwell strangled her to keep her quiet, then staged the scene to look like a suicide. Years passed before the FBI stepped in—exposing what many believe to be a shocking abuse of power. And Farwell isn’t the only name caught in the fallout. Other officers allegedly had ties to Sandra, yet walked away uncharged. Some resigned. Some let their police certifications quietly expire. And all the while, Sandra’s family was left to fight for the truth.
We unpack the federal case, the DNA twist that shattered everything Sandra believed, the silence of those around her, and the ugly reality of what happens when predators wear badges.
This isn’t just about one murder. It’s about a system that let it happen—and almost let it disappear.

Was this justice delayed—or justice nearly buried?
