Episode 176: The Monster Behind the Badge

Send us a text

In February of 2021 23 -year-old Sandra Birchmore, a pregnant teacher’s aide at a Boston area elementary school, was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment. Her death was initially ruled as a suicide by asphyxia. However, Sandra’s family members and friends did not believe the findings and pushed for an investigation which resulted in the closed case suicide to be blown wide open and her death ruled a homicide a year later. Prosecutors now allege that Sandra was killed by Stoughton, Massachusetts police officer Matthew Farwell to cover up a nearly-decade-long scheme of grooming and abuse that she suffered from not only him but two other Stoughton officers as well which included Matthew’s twin brother William Farwell and former Stoughton deputy police chief Robert Devine after she joined their police youth program as a teenager. This is the sinister true tale of the monsters that lived within the Stoughton, Massachusetts Police Department.
