Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Sandra Birchmore, 23, found dead in her Canton apartment February 4, 2021. Initially, the death was ruled a suicide by asphyxia. Sandra was on the floor, hanging from a duffel bag strap wrapped around a doorknob. Family, friends, and federal prosecutors contested that finding. The Medical Examiner later changed the cause of death to "asphyxia" and the manner of death to "undetermined." Former Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell was indicted by federal prosecutors and is currently on trial. Prosecutors say Farwell groomed Birchmore from the age of 13, through the Stoughton Police Explorer program. Their sexual relationship began when she was 15. He was 27. Birchmore also had a sexual relationship with Matthew Farwell's twin brother. Investigators say Birchmore told Matthew Farwell she was pregnant. That, they say lead to Farwell to strangle Birchmore and stage her death to look like a suicide to silence her.
