A former Massachusetts police detective is accused of strangling a pregnant woman to prevent her from speaking out about their alleged relationship. Authorities said Matthew Farwell allegedly groomed Sandra Birchmore while she was underage and participating in the Stoughton Police Department’s Explorers program. Birchmore later gave Farwell an ultimatum, telling him he needed to get her pregnant or she would go public with the scandal. Birchmore was found dead in her Canton apartment in February 2021. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the twisted case.

This channel is ducked up
Department that covered this up, is now being accused of covering up the murder of Karen Read’s husband. Still think she’s guilty?
Stephan Stearns!!!!
cops are all f***ed
Police are sick , there are more cops than just him
Same BS thin Blue line.
Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkk
She was a child and he seduced her and murdered her and his unborn child. Such an evil POS.
4:30 teenage pregnancy so sad. Look at that poster drawn by a child 😢
The national average of Age Differences in relationships is '' 10- YEARS ' Odd that Parents ALLOW Their KIDS to have relationships with Young men aged 19 -23 ….That is Weird.
Why would she bring that up in a text in 2020? Was she trying to get him to say that? Was she trying to set him up?
Massachusetts police are on the wrong side of the law entirely too much for DECADES!!!
Ken Arok versus Ken carok 😂
Talking about taking her virginity ….🤢🤮🤮
Doesn't surprise me at all alot of these cops are dirty
But cops should be the only people to carry firearms😂
When Farwell initially enters her apartment on the day that he killed her, his bare hands are visible as he puts them into his pockets.
When he is shown exiting the elevator after killing her, it looks like he's got a pair gloves on.
(This video doesn't show it, but if you search "Matthew Farwell leaving Sandra Birchmore's apartment on day of her death," there's a longer video that shows him getting off the elevator and leaving the building. It doesn't cut it off as this video does.)
(40%) Forty Percent of America's Law Enforcement Officers at every departmental level are daily Domestic Physical , Mental Abusers and Assaulters everyday all over America. Their victims are typically Wives, Girlfriends, Lovers, Coworkers, Daughters , Female Friends and arrestees. A Statistic every Department is aware of yet does nothing to prevent it nor reduce the number of occurrences until it's too late. 👀😳

This is disturbing it comes to show us how some men are immature in the brain to send text to a child and have a wife at home pregnant I’m a firm believer that some men brain don’t fully develop cause how ? then get mad of the outcome of sleeping with a child and texting about it this is so sickening
Worse punishment for purveyors and predators who punish and prosecute in their own court.
Anybody Backing The Blue🤔 On This 1One
He should confess he did it and skip the trial bc the trial will be more exposing and hurtful to his own family wife and kids!!
He is caught!
The Stoughton Police Department really messed up! Never put a heterosexual male cop with a heterosexual young female citizen! Her police officer mentors, (while under the age of 18), should have been limited to heterosexual female cops! I hope Sandra's parents sue the Police Department.
Cops for ya 🤷♂️
How to
Parents not see all
This going on 😢
If she had on a apple watch connected to the phone and it stop moving while he was in the apt, there’s no way to explain that
Dorothy and Deborah Whiting May 31 2014 murdered covered up by medical examiner Hanson Massachusetts Thomas Anderson is the murderer.
If your not from Massachusetts Stoughton and Canton are in the same area. The officers connected to Karen Read and John O'Keefe are the same officers on this case.
What an EVIL😈Monster,
Farwell is.‼️
His fellow conspirators should be Tried &. Sentenced also.😏
He’s shady and his whole department is shady and their da’s are all corrupt.
The nerve to plead not guilty. Didn’t give a crap about her life but want to fight for yours?
Cop checked off every stereotype he possibly could!
Crime, after crime, after crime😢
Who writes these stories? Disgusting 🤢
Rest in power Sandra and baby
Typical police behavior.
How sad is that! Imagine if they groomed her and multiple officers messed with her.. how many other girls have gone through similar experiences?! 😢
I remembered hearing this story and smelled a coverup from a mile away. Glad that enough pressure on this case has put this creep back in the spotlight and finally confirmed what everyone pretty much suspected. Sad when a cop's reputation means more than the innocent lives that were taken. I hope that entire precinct is investigated, bet we'll find a hefty ton of skeletons hiding in the closet. There's no way this isn't their first coverup for a fellow officer.
The fact that that police department groomed the victim so easily means that it wasn’t their first time doing that they just got caught this time
Will the trial be televised?
This is crazy. I hope the trial is televised. RIP sweet girl
